sawsim/discussion.tex: Standardize variables in constant loading section

Although there's too much overlap with the existing scaffold section.
The two should be combined.

 The proteins are under constant loading because
 \begin{equation}
-  \deriv{t}{F} = \deriv{x}{F}\deriv{t}{x} = kv\;,
+  \deriv{t}{F} = \deriv{x}{F}\deriv{t}{x} = \kappa v\;,
 \end{equation}
-a constant, since both $k$ and $v$ are constant (\citet{evans97} in the text on the first page, \citet{dudko06} in the text just before Eqn.~4).

-The instantaneous likelyhood of a protein unfolding is given by $\deriv{F}{D}$, and the unfolding histogram is merely this function discretized over a bin of width $W$(This is similar to \citet{dudko06} Eqn.~2, remembering that $\dot{F}=kv$, that their probability density is not a histogram ($W=1$), and that their pdf is normalized to $N=1$).

-Solving for theoretical histograms is merely a question of taking your chosen $\kappa$, solving for $P(f)$, and plugging into Eqn. \ref{eq:unfold:hist}.
-We can also make a bit of progress solving for $P$ in terms of $\kappa$ as follows:
