12. Rigorous renormalization group theories, as for example cited in reference 2, have established the exponent in eq 6 to be v = 0.588, and conversely, in eq 5 to be -1/v = -1.701. For the results presented in this paper, the approximate scaling exponents will suffice.

53. The second virial coefficient data of Tangari et al. from ref 24 are included; however, it appears that their values differ by a factor of 2 from the ones in this study so their results have been adjusted accordingly.
