22. Our simulation study of λeff was motivated by its connection to strain hardening in a microscopic theory by K. Chen and K.S. Schweizer (private communication).
23. When chains become shorter than a few persistence lengths, deviations from these last equalities become apparent and the best collapse is obtained by defining λeff from the expanded directions x and y.
