38. 39 studied the transition between cylinders and spheres, although they used shear-oriented samples. They presented a possible scheme for the transition (Figure 3 in their paper) which is exactly the same as what we presented in our Figure 9. It is noteworthy that they also observed that the position for the first-order peaks is unchanged upon the cylinder-sphere transition.
