33. We take this opportunity to correct the following misprints in the second paper of [12]: the symbol d is to be replaced by n in equations (4.25) and (4.27), and the factor 2 in equation (4.28) should be a 4, in that paper. Similar corrections are needed in [14].

47. 0 found from this analysis are 2.38 Å (spheres) and 2.03Å(cubes), which, instead of being length scales typical for classical bulk superconductors, belong to molecular physics.
