The Effect Function

Given that a complete cytodynamic model is at our disposal and that in this case study ecological consequences are, hypothetically, of no concern, we used weights tex2html_wrap_inline3465 for all compartment numbers k, and choose tex2html_wrap_inline3469, as well as tex2html_wrap_inline3471 and tex2html_wrap_inline3473. As a consequence, we value the carcinogenic effects as much more important than the cytotoxic effects (the integral over time of the number of dead cells, cell type no. 6). All other effects, especially the number of premalignant cells, are neglected.
