Try to understand about these parameters

The book is Mathematical Model of Acute Inflammation and a Full Lung Model of Gas Exchange under Inflammatory Stress.

The author is Angela Marie Reynolds. One can find it in google books or the paper on the web.

 

My questions are about page 9 of the book. It listed a lot parameters that I try to understand. I list some of my questions below.

 

1 kpg is the growth rate of pathogen. P(t) is pathogen level. Should kpg=P'(t)?

 

2 knp=0.1/P-units/h, which is activation of resting phagocytes(Nr) by pathogen. Is knp=0.1/P(t)?

 

3 snr=0.08Nr-units/h. I could only find the formula for dNr/dt, which is on page 13. Do I need to solve the ODE system to code snr?

 

Thank you very much.
