38. Those components in the model were not shielded from signals below the operating frequency. Consequently, they did affect subharmonic generation, which occurred in the model at somewhat higher excitation levels than were tested in the experiment.
39. The authors are willing to share the source code in FORTRAN that solves a sample tutorial sheath and circuit problem, and the source code in C++ that was used for the comparison with the experimental results.
