15. A more direct argument goes as follows. Rewrite Eq. (6) as (Formula presented), and let (Formula presented) be a solution of (Formula presented) with boundary conditions (Formula presented) (Formula presented). Identifying (Formula presented) and integrating by parts, we obtain (Formula presented). A drawback of this reasoning is that (Formula presented) is not guaranteed everywhere.

21. A more accurate calculation which exactly accounts for the thermal population of all channels (but yet assumes an energy-independent mean value of (Formula presented) would replace (Formula presented) by (Formula presented).
