47. This statement holds also in the case of equally and fully polarized leads. Not only does the probability for a minority spin to enter the dot go to zero, but also its probability to leave the dot does once the minority spin is on the dot.
48. Please note that the extra factor 1/2 in the formula in Ref. is a misprint.
