TITLE Calcium ion accumulation with longitudinal and radial diffusion

COMMENT
PROCEDURE factors_cadifus() sets up the scale factors 
needed to model radial diffusion.
These scale factors do not have to be recomputed
when diam or DFree is changed.
The amount of calcium in an annulus is ca[i]*diam^2*vol[i] 
with ca[0] being the 2nd order correct concentration at the exact edge
and ca[NANN-1] being the concentration at the exact center.
Buffer concentration and rates are based on Yamada et al. 1989
model of bullfrog sympathetic ganglion cell.

COMMENT
factors() sets up factors needed for radial diffusion 
modeled by NANN concentric compartments.
The outermost shell is half as thick as the other shells 
so the concentration is spatially second order correct 
at the surface of the cell.
The radius of the cylindrical core 
equals the thickness of the outermost shell.
The intervening NANN-2 shells each have thickness = r/(NANN-1)
(NANN must be >= 2).

ca[0] is at the edge of the cell, 
ca[NANN-1] is at the center of the cell, 
and ca[i] for 0 < i < NANN-1 is 
midway through the thickness of each annulus.
