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...
It is a non-parametric test that does not require the data to be normally distributed (Mann 1945; Kendall 1975), and has been extensively implemented in detecting temporal changes in environmental, climatic, and hydrological datasets. The test statistic S is calculated as (Equation (5)): n...
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 ...
ICso values and Hill coefficients of concentration-response curves were determined by computer-assisted curve-fitting to a logistical equation (SigmaPlot 4.1, Jandel ScientifIc, San Rafael, CA). Kinetic constants for both subtypes of MAO were determined by the analysis of Lineweaver Burk plots. ...
“If constitutional reform with consultation and participation by the ethnic and religious minorities becomes a reality, Sri Lanka will be on the road to relegate ethnic conflict to the past, as in Western Europe” ~ (Dr. Jehan Perera,the morning, 5 March 2024). ...
