Figure : Characteristic parameters of an exemplary calorimetric heat flow curve extractable via the proposed script. The time of the maximum heat flow t max , the corresponding heat flow Qmax , the timing of the sulfate depletion peak t sd , the slope of the silicate heat flow a, the time t m of maximum acceleration, the heat flow Qm at maximum acceleration and the duration of the dormant time t d and the corresponding heat flow Qd are shown. Furthermore, the onset time t is is obtained by determining the intersection of the tangent at the inflection point and the tangent to the minimum heat flow.
