19. In the case of electrodes with different couplings to the nanostructure, an additional term arises on the right-hand side of Eq. (30), which breaks the proportionality between the conductance and the dot spectral density. This term, however, is proportional to the difference between couplings and to the frequency, and hence typically very small.
