30. Aging is the effect that waiting (after cooling to some fixed temperature) a time tw before a field is applied has on the subsequent evolution of the magnetization. It was first observed in spin glasses by L. Lundgren, P. Svedlindh, P. Nordblad, and O. Beckman, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.51.911 51, 911 (1983)

35. Bulk anisotropy energies εa are most often larger than NN dipole-dipole energies εd [see, R. M. Bozorth, American Institute of Physics Handbook (McGraw-Hill, New York, 1957), pp 5-221, 5-222, tables 5h-16 and 5h-17]. In ferrofluids, nanoparticle concentration enables control of εa / εd (Ref.). In closely packed nanoparticle arrays, εa / εd is volume independent, but surface effects can raise anisotropy energies hugely.

50. This value of ν is within the range of the long list of values that have been obtained for short-range Ising models with various random bond distributions (Ref.). Screening of the (long-ranged) dipolar interactions might bring this about.
