## To run the model:

Expand the archive and cd into the newly created directory and run:

This simulation will make graphs similar to the paper of Laventovich
and Hemkin. Note that the cytosolic calcium concentration shown in
and Hemkin. Note that the cytosolic calcium concentration shown in
figure 3 of the paper should be increased by 10-fold.
