Because our emissions factors were calculated at the regional level, it will remain important to modify them when characterizing localized emissions; this can be done by using the equations published by the IPCC [4] with the inputs provided here in Tables 1 and 2, modified by relevant localized information such as manure management system utilization rates.
The GFR was calculated using the equation previously published by the MDRD study group [ 17].
Using the reference equation published by Troosters et al. [ 16], our healthy cohort performed very similarly to their predicted distance (582 m vs predicted 576 m), while the performance of our TKA cohort was much lower than their predicted distance (424 m vs predicted 538 m).
Age-dependent estimates of functional tubular secretion (i.e., TSchild and TSadult) using, for example, the equations published by Hayton can be incorporated within the above equation to derive pediatric-specific CLint,TS values.
Moreover, the tensile yield strength of the composites estimated using an equation published previously was roughly close to the measured data.
Internal wave-induced background diapycnal mixing (DM) in the upper 2000 m of the global ocean, which primarily depends on the local inertial frequency, is calculated based on Argo observations using the newly published Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater-2010 (IOC, SCOR and IAPSO, 2010).
x, y, z localization uncertainty for each 3D localization event was calculated by using the published estimator, Equation 2. The localization histogram was fitted by Extreme Fit by Matlab.
Using reference equations published by Enright et al. [ 32], which have been considered by some to underestimate normal walking distance [ 10, 33], the performance of our TKA cohort was still inferior, with the predicted distance for TKA group of 464 m.
