List of Biological Materials

Biological materials can be instantiated using the name or material index,

Material *b = new Biomat(string Name);
Material *b = new Biomat(int Index);

For example,

Material *b = new Biomat("Blood (ICRP)");
Material *b = new Biomat(118);

are equivalent instantiations.
