Set Cell Kinetics Model (CKM=)
MODEL: keyword (or sample input files)


Syntax:    MODEL: CKM={model name}
Example: MODEL: CKM=QECK


Purpose: Specify the cell growth kinetics model (QECK)
Data Type: character
Unit: n/a
Default: QECK
Comments: At present, the only model implemented is the quasi-exponential cell kinetics model (or QECK). Exponential cell growth kinetics can be mimicked by setting the KAP*VOL parameter (see CCKM:) to a very large number (say 1.0E+38); this approach is advantageous because it prevents overflow errors.  Also, the human body only contains ~ 1E+14 cells.
