After supper we heard Mass in the chapel, as private a Te Deum and prayer for future aid as the Mass and crown-wearing at Paul s that morning had been public. The clamor of the day was suddenly stilled. Edward and I knelt together, so close that his arm touched mine. A different fear crept over me. What would he think of the worry-carved lines about my eyes, my thin flesh slack with the idleness of our days in sanctuary, a tooth drawn, that scald on my arm, so many small, weary hurts to my worn body ... 

The coefficients of the above linear expressions are obtained via regression analysis of the simulation data taken at a variety of pressure levels Floudas and Paules (1988). Note that in the above definitions we have introduced a set of slack variables. These are introduced so as to prevent infeasibilities from arising from the equality constraints whenever a column does not participate in the activated sequence. These slack variables participate in the set of logical constraints and are both set to zero if the corresponding column exists, while they are activated to nonzero value if the column does not exist, so as to relax the associated equality constraints.
