43. If we examine energy loss by radiation in stars, a simple method such as reduction of all the velocities should be more suitable to mimic the energy loss. However, we employ the nonadiabatic wall to mimic energy loss by reflecting walls for certain nonequilibrium processes. This is because we examine the influence of the nonadiabatic wall on dynamical evolutions of the system especially on thermodynamic properties such as the incidence of negative specific heat.
44. To mimic an inelastic wall and to decrease a variation in total angular momentum, a method which reduces only the radial component of the reflected velocity would be better than the present method. However, we employ the present method, since the present method can sufficiently mimic energy loss by nonadiabatic walls.

49. Although this result should be predictable qualitatively, the influence of the nonadiabatic wall is clearly demonstrated quantitatively in the present study.

51. If a particle does not exist in the innermost shell, the value in the innermost shell is 0. In fact, the smallest volume of the innermost shell should cause a high incidence of a 0 value, when the density is low. Consequently, the shell-averaged value for the innermost shell includes large fluctuations or errors through our average operation. Similar things should arise in the outermost shell. Therefore, we do not discuss the shell-averaged values in the innermost and outermost shells, since these results are misleading.
