24. At first sight, one might think that the Casimir effect is a counterexample to the quantum inequalities. In fact, this is not quite correct. For details, see Refs. 212628.

37. In this paper the area A will be arbitrary. However, sometimes it is useful to impose the condition that all parts of the absorbing system come into causal contact with one another before the arrival of the positive energy. This implies (Formula presented). See Ref. 17 for a discussion of this point.
