73. For the sake of definity, we study the electron transmission through LUMO-levels. Hole transmission through the HOMO-levels can be carried out in an analogous way.

78. This approximation works well in a rather wide voltage region [9,12,13,15]. It, however, cannot be applied at a too strong molecule-lead coupling [21].
