initialize_enzyme: Initialises the Enzyme Kinetic model lookup table for the...

Description Usage Arguments Value Notation and constants "Why do you multiply by 24?"

View source: R/data_manip.R

Description

The model uses different sets of experimentally-derived parameters for each four development stage: Egg, Larvae, Pupae, Gonotrophic. Hence there are four equations.

Usage

1
initialize_enzyme(dailyTemps, const)

Arguments

dailyTemps

Dataframe of daily average temperatures as output from function temperature_chart

Value

Chart of EKM updates for each development stage for each day.

Notation and constants

KELV_CONV: Conversion constant between Kelvin <-> Celcius. R: Universal gas constant. All other constants are experimentally-determined constants which can be found in Focks 1993. Suffixes E, L, P, G for the constants refer to each of the development stages.

"Why do you multiply by 24?"

We multiply by 24 since timesteps are in days, and EKM model is in timestep unit of hours.
