19. Bare is an attribute to distinguish the bare parameters (λ, p, Δ) introduced here from another set of renormalized parameters (λ*, p*, Δ) defined in Appendix C. If we express quantities in terms of bare parameters, then Young's condition does not depend on Δ, whereas the shape does. In terms of renormalized parameters, the opposite is true-changing A while keeping the other renormalized quantities fixed does not change the shape, but Young's condition now depends on Δ.

22. The line tension can be calculated at the scale of 5 Å; however, it has no physical meaning because it is calculated on a scale smaller than the characteristic length of the van der Waals forces. However, most measurements of the line tension in the literature are based on a postulated cutoff of 5 Å, and we need to calculate it in order to compare our values with those obtained in the literature.
23. Pseudo partial wetting can occur only if there exists an attractive interaction between the interfaces of a thin wetting film. As the repulsive dipole interactions within the film tends to keep all parts of the film as far apart as possible, the dipole self-energy in the LE film is lowered if the LE film gets thinner. Hence, the long-range repulsion within the film generates an attractive interaction between the LC/LE and the LE/G interfaces, which could lead to a pseudo partial wetting of the droplet.
