15. Note that the SRD particles interact radially with the colloids, corresponding to slip boundary conditions. We do not expect any qualitative changes if we were to use no-slip boundary conditions.

23. When hydrodynamic fluctuations are screened [13], then L in Eq. (5) should be replaced by the screening length ξ(a, φ), which increases Pe*.
