22. The effective dissipation is assumed the quasiparticle resistance (Formula presented) at zero bias (Formula presented) μV), following the method reported in B. Ruggiero, C. Granata, V. G. Palmieri, A. Esposito, M. Russo, and P. Silvestrini, Phys. Rev. B 57, 134 (1998).
23. These parameters are independently measured as described in Ref. 5.
