51. d at the expense of slowing down the simulation. Since the reverse steps are highly endothermic, and therefore of negligible probability, the qualitative effect of the violation on the results is most likely small.

53. The power law dependence is apparent after initial ∼16% conversion for the film geometry, and ∼11% conversion for the particle; an induction period appears to be required to establish APB transport. The initial portions of the simulations were discarded from the fits.
