12. 4/s, McMaster's group, Kyoto's group, and M. J. Monteiro at the University of Sydney coauthored this reply. All three groups agree with the major points of the reply. For specific areas, McMaster's group takes the responsibility for the accuracy of the model and simulation results; Kyoto's group is responsible for the accuracy of the experiments, data analysis, and parameter estimate.
