26. With respect to the model presented in Ref. [16], here we add a different random term to the phase of the left-going and right-going waves of all modes of the scattering matrix. In such a way, dephasing affects also weak local-ization corrections to conductance, and reciprocity still holds on the average scattering matrix.
