Whack-A-Mole (WAM) Model Simulator
The simulator solves a following differential equation: F(t)dt=A(t)−B(t)F(t) where, A(t)=a0+a1d(t) B(t)=b0+b1d(t)
Notation | Description |
t | Time (hour) |
F(t) | Mutation frequency at t |
A(t) | Increasing rate of mutation frequency t |
B(t) | Decreasing rate of mutation frequency t |
a0 | Increasing rate of mutation occurred in natural environment (1/hour) |
a1 | Increasing rate of mutation correspnding to radiation dose (1/Gy) |
b0 | Decreasing rate occurred in natural environment (1/hour) |
b1 | Decreasing rate caused by radiation (1/Gy) |
d(t) | Dose rate at t (Gy/hour) |
