This jupyter notebook was contributed by Dr T Manninen.

To run, start jupyter notebook on your system and load the ipython
notebook.

The model code produces results of Figure 1 and Figures 3-5 in Manninen,
Havela, Linne (2017).

It also reproduces (the 2nd plot, Calcium concentration) 



Figure 12a (AM) in the De Pitta et al. 2009 paper.
