Used for plotting. time.days - hepatocyte.time.death_start Default value for apical adhesive. Value is set per CellType. Common value for all contact energies with hepatocytes involved Common value for //CPM/Interaction/Contact/HomophilicAdhesion/@strength of all possible hepatocyte interactions Diffusion constant converted from cm^2/s to 3 µm^2/5 min: 10e-6 cm^2/s = 10e-6 * (10^4)^2 µm^2/s = 10e-6 * (10^4)^2 / 3^2 (3 µm)^2/s = 10^-6 * 10^8 / 9 * 300 (3 µm)^2/5 min = 3333.3 Global initialization of decay rate. Actual CCl4 depletion occurs only in CellType 'hepatocytes'. cell.type == celltype.medium.id cell.type == celltype.medium.id or cell.type == celltype.CV.id -c.decay*c + (c.target-c)*hepatocyte.lesion.pattern_including_cv Time of one cell cycle in days. Initialization time in days (time of CCl4 administration and full formation of the necrotic lesion). Proliferation window Radius of necrotic lesion before regeneration in NodeLengths. 149 µm = 149/3 NodeLengths (equivalent to 6.4 hepatocytes) Determine area of necrotic lesion by counting the nodes. Convert lesion nodes to lesion area in mm^2.

Assign the value "1" to the MembraneProperty on apical sides (± 45°; ± π/4) of the hepatocytes. Needed for homophilic adhesion. - Use cos() version for apical sides perpendicular to sinusoids (tangential). - Use sin() version for apical sides parallel to sinusoids (radial). apical.polarization == 0 ?
