There is a numerical benchmark reported in Fig. 4 with absolute runtimes and memory usages that can directly be reproduced with the provided source code. The benchmark was performed on the author's computer, and since numerical performance and parallel scaling can be somewhat hardware-dependent, it would be of interest to see whether a performance that is comparable to the one reported in the paper can be reproduced by others on their own computers in practice. The benchmark simulates a growing tissue from one to 10,000 cells in just ten minutes, so this offers an easy entry point into tissue modeling and simulation. No input data is needed to reproduce the output. The program has no dependencies.
Most of the material is available through Jupyter notebooks in GitHub, and it should be easy to reproduce with the help of Binder. With the notebooks, you could experiment with different parameters to the ones analyzed in the paper. It also contains a large dataset of physical parameters of galaxies analysed in this work. We expect this work to be easily reproducible in the steps described in the repository.
We propose a simple method to retrieve optical constants from single optical transmittance measurements, in particular in the fundamental absorption region. The construction of needed envelopes is arbitrary and will depend on the user. However, the method should still be robust and deliver similar results.
