30. ⊥,i(γ̇) are now clarified to reflect the same origin, although this point was left unresolved in the previous study.
31. 0.5 for the near-critical mixtures was interpreted as a suppression of spinodal decomposition under shear (Refs. 10,19). It is tempting to interpret the behavior for the off-critical mixtures given by Eq. (5) in terms of a suppression of nucleation and growth under shear.
32. inc(γ̇) decreases with y. However a confirmation of this point will be left for future work.
