10. 3He-B bath. However, a number of differing features - the most important being that quasiparticles are in equilibrium with respect to the condensate rest frame - completely dilute the analogy with our problem, leading to a qualitatively different physical scenario.

15. For large Z, it was found in [4] that, as the voltage increases, the system bypasses the AT regime, jumping directly from the AR dominated region to the normal resembling sector of gapless superconductivity. For vanishing Z, AT is inhibited, since it is proportional to r*t, where r (t) is the one-electron reflection (transmission) coefficient.
