19. Although the fluctuation theorem [see, for example, D. J. Evans and D. J. Searles: Adv. Phys. 51 (2002) 1529 would formally hold in NESSs, it cannot be used to treat or predict XF discussed in refs. 2-17 and here.
20. I then becomes a nonlinear function of | (I) |, it is also called shot noise because the physics involved is the same as that in the other cases where T is constant or small.

24. e Re μ (ω 0;E = 0.06) is rejected at the 99.9% confidence level.
25. The derivation of the scaling law in refs. 9 and 11 is rigorous in the macroscopic regime if shot noise is dominant. However, similarly to other works, refs. 9 and 11 did not show that shot noise is indeed dominant in macroscopic conductors.
