CREATED : September 2001

LAST MODIFIED : 5th April 2003

AUTHOR : Catherine Lloyd
         Department of Engineering Science
         The University of Auckland
         
MODEL STATUS : This model conforms to the CellML 1.0 Specification released on
10th August 2001, and the 16/01/2002 CellML Metadata 1.0 Specification.

DESCRIPTION : This file contains a CellML description of the mammalian
ventricular action potential, based on the Beeler-Reuter model, 1977. 

CHANGES: 
  19/10/2001 - CML - Removed document type definition as this is declared as
                     optional according to the WC3 recommendation.  
  24/10/2001 - CML - Made changes to some of the metadata, bringing them up to
                     date with the most recent working draft (26th September) of
                     the Metadata specification.
  07/12/2001 - CML - Changed some equations after using the MathML validator.
  21/01/2002 - AAC - Updated metadata to conform to the 16/01/02 CellML Metadata
                     1.0 Specification.
  28/02/2002 - CML - Corrected the membrane voltage differential equation.
  19/07/2002 - CML - Added more metadata.
  05/04/2003 - AAC - Changed the model name so the model loads in the database 
                     easier.
