Fig. 7. The courses over time of the measured and predicted values of the percentage of garbage decomposition using three different values for g_r, a fraction of dry matter recalcitrant to degradation in the garbage. Closed circles are for the measured values, and the solid, broken, and dotted lines refer to the predicted values by using Eq. [9] with the g_r values of 0.31, 0.38, and 0.45, respectively.
