Reset Rules:
When [Clb2] drops below as cell exits mitosis, we reset [BUD] and [SPN] to zero, and divide the mass between daughter and mother cells as follows: for daughter, and for mother, with , where D is the daughter cycle time. Lord & Wheals, 1980 found empirically that D and growth rate are related by the equation, . For a culture growing at a mass-doubling-time of 90 min, . When drops below , [ORI] is reset to 0.
Flags: Bud emergence when, start DNA synthesis when , chromosome alignment on spindle completed when .
