CO2 absorbed by vegetation (Gross Primary Production, GPP) is then calculated using the above variables and parameters with the following equation: estimating NPP, while ecosystem respiration is set as a functi on of temperature for estimating NEE. Under present condition, the net absorption of CO...
Ectonucleotide phosphodiesterase/pyrophosphatase-3 (NPP3) is a membrane-bound glycoprotein that regulates extracellular levels of nucleotides. NPP3 is known to contribute to the immune response on basophils by hydrolyzing ATP and to regulate the glycosyl
According to Equation (7), the estimating exponent 𝛼α for Zipf’s law is: 𝛼=1𝑛(∑𝑖=1𝑛ln𝑎𝑖𝑥min).α=1n(∑i=1nlnaixmin). (10) Next, we explain how to identify the power-law region, that is, we estimate the value of 𝑥minxmin. Aiming to ensure a good ...
