Does it strike anyone else as inconsistent that 'moles' are a unit when moles are just a scaling factor? Like dozen. Maybe they should be implemented using 'multiplier' or similar rather than a base unit. For example, I could have a mole of amps. I couldn't have a second of amps. -Original

Andrew said: It doesn't really make sense to say nanodimensionless per microdimensionless, I prefer nanolitres per microlitre even though you need to duplicate it if you have other conversion factors. Duplication brings in the possibility of error and inconsistencies, and is tedious and I

Hi Here is a paper from the good folks at Newcastle. It's a lead in to their work on extending SBML to cope with stochastic modelling. http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/full/22/5/628 I understand their software can also be accessed from

[cellml-discussion] In and Out

Something that occurred to me just now: Aside from the fact that I think In/out is meaningless from a modelling point of view and is really an interpretation-of-the-cellml detail, it is also currently a redundant feature. Currently we can use the in/out connections to check against which
