31. We confirm that the T dependence of τB and the q dependence of fq are independent from the microscopic dynamics by performing additional simulations for a system of 1000 colloidal particles and 10000 ghost particles. The ghost particles mimic the real solvent particles; see Y. Zhou, M. Karplus, J.M. Wichert, and C.K. Hall, J. Chem. Phys. 107, 10691 (1997). JCPSA6 0021-9606 10.1063/1.474186
