Key Equations

$$106\text{CO}_2 + 16\text{NO}_3^- + \text{HPO}_4^{2-} + 122\text{H}_2\text{O} + 18\text{H}^+ \xrightarrow{h\nu} (\text{CH}_2\text{O})_{106}(\text{NH}_3)_{16}\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 + 138\text{O}_2$$
$$P = P_{\max} \left(1 - e^{-\alpha I / P_{\max}}\right) \cdot \frac{N}{K_N + N}$$
$$P(z_c) = R \quad \Rightarrow \quad I(z_c) = I_c$$
$$\int_0^{z_{cr}} P(z)\,dz = \int_0^{z_{cr}} R\,dz$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
