AbstractWe are grateful to Dr Etienne Kaelin for pointing out four typographic errors in the equations for this paper. These are as follows: The term xy in equation (1) should be replaced by: Equation (3) should be The first term of the unnumbered equation after equation (3) should be µy rather than µx. The correct version of equation (4) is The numerical results of this paper as shown in the various tables are not affected by these errors because correct versions of the equations were used in their calculation. Dr Kaelin has offered to make available an Excel spreadsheet that will carry out the calculations for the method described in this paper. It is available to interested readers by contacting him at Etienne.Kaelin@pmintl.com.
