The authors of glr027, Chen Hou, Kendra Bolt, and Aviv Bergman, apologize for an error in the June 2011 issue of the Journal:
A constant term is missing in the Integral 
in Appendix III. The correct result of the integral is:
 |
where 
is a function of time t, 
, and μ = m0/M. The third term, 
, which is a constant, was missing.
The second term, [Exp (−At)], decreases exponentially with time and can therefore be negligible, as stated in Appendix III of the original text.
The third term, 
, does not change with time, and should be included in the result of the integral. However, this term negligibly affects the mass-specific net damage at age T, D(T) in Eq. 4, the master equation of the model. Using the parameters listed in Table 1, the damage due to this term, labeled as Δ below, only contributes 0.9% to the overall damage D(T):
