Acknowledgements

Equation (9) appeared in a paper by Ribacchi et al. (1995); the conference paper, in Italian, is mostly unknown to the international literature. The author is grateful to Dr. Y. Z. Li (University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan 430071, China) for providing him with the numerical values for their experimental results and formulation results in Fig. 2. The author is also thankful to the two anonymous reviewers whose comments greatly contributed to the final version of the manuscript.
