Calculates the effects of temperature on decomposition rates according to the Arrhenius equation.

1	fT.Arrhenius(Temp, A = 1000, Ea = 75000, Re = 8.3144621)

`Temp`	A scalar or vector containing values of temperature (in degrees Kelvin) for which the effects on decomposition rates are calculated.
`A`	A scalar defining the pre-exponential factor.
`Ea`	A scalar defining the activation energy in units of J mol^-1.
`Re`	A scalar defining the universal gas contant in units of J K^-1 mol^-1.

A scalar or a vector containing the effects of temperature on decomposition rates (unitless).
