23. In Fig. 2, the noise figure is not drawn around the edges of the current flowing regions. There is a numerical difficulty because the noise figure is given by the current fluctuation divided by the average of the current, (I), which is very small there.
24. The three probabilities are not exactly the same because the gate voltage cannot be controlled independently for each dot in our model. However, they are almost the same at the minimum of s(0), which realizes the regular motion of charges.
25. The fitting error is within 0.2%.
