:
:   The kinetic model of Wang et al. was constructed from the
:   data of Coulter et al., J Physiol 414: 587, 1989 which were
:   obtained at 24 dec C.  Transformation to 36 deg is made 
:   assuming Q10 of 5 and 3 for m and h, according to the 
:   data of Coulter et al.  The sigmoids and time constants
:   were shifted of 2 mV to account for screening charge.
