[Population Modeling] Population Modelling by Examples II

[Jacob Barhak]

And Robert,

Since the mailing system we are using has a digest mode that some
subscribers use, here is a link to the table draft Sixten sent in case some
of the authors could not see it:

https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1960/DraftTable_PopulationModelingByExamples2.docx

Hopefully this will place everyone one on the same page.

              Jacob
