      <td><p>For each observed variable, a list has to be specified as an
argument, containing at least a component <code>type</code>, specifying the type
of kinetics to use for the variable. Currently, single first order
kinetics "SFO", indeterminate order rate equation kinetics "IORE", or
single first order with reversible binding "SFORB" are implemented for all
variables, while "FOMC", "DFOP" and "HS" can additionally be chosen for
the first variable which is assumed to be the source compartment.
Additionally, each component of the list can include a character vector
<code>to</code>, specifying names of variables to which a transfer is to be
assumed in the model.  If the argument <code>use_of_ff</code> is set to "min"
(default) and the model for the compartment is "SFO" or "SFORB", an
additional component of the list can be "sink=FALSE" effectively fixing
the flux to sink to zero.</p></td>
