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)
