37. Formally, we should take into account that the number density p is influenced by volume exclusion. However, we expect this effect to be modest. This is because ρ is given by φ/〈N〉v, and the effect of interactions on the mean aggregate size is modest, whereas φ and v do not change due to volume exclusion.
