Q10Settings 

Q10 scaling affects the tau in the rate equations. It allows rate equations determined at one temperature to be used at a different temperature.
If tauExp is the experimentally measured tau, the rate at temperature T is given by tau(T) = tauExp / q10_factor ^ ((T - experimental_temp)/10). NOTE: if fixed_q10 is specified
the expression will be tau(T) = tauExp / fixed_q10, and the experimental_temp can be used to check that a simulation is running
at the desired temperature.

Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
experimental_temp TemperatureValue required 
The experimental temperature at which alpha and beta rate 
equations were determined were measured
fixed_q10 xs:double optional 
Q10 factor if the cell is to be run at a different temp than that at which 
the alpha and beta were determined. Only one of fixed_q10 or q10_factor should be specified!
gate xs:string optional 
The gate to which the Q10 adjustment should be applied. If this attribute is not present, assume the adjustment applies at all gates.
q10_factor xs:double optional 
Q10 factor if the cell is to be run at a different temp than that at which 
the alpha and beta were determined. Only one of fixed_q10 or q10_factor should be specified!
