a Ho et al. (2015).

b Value computed from simulated 3-D microscale of epidermis tissue.

e Value was calculated from the ratio of measured RCO2 to RO2 in ambient air at 20 °C (experiment A).

fValue was estimated from the experimental data (experiment B and C) at 0 °C (see more details in Table 3).

g Value was calculated from the measurement (experiment A, see Table 2).
