The numerator of the fraction inside the logarithm was missing an overall minus sign, and incorrectly read:   1234567890():,;   N ð1  ηÞ  η Q Φη;N  Qtwist ¼ max 0; log2 ð1 þ N Þð1  ηÞ The correct form of Equation (40) is:     η  N ð1  ηÞ Q Φη;N  Qtwist ¼ max 0; log2 ð1 þ N Þð1  ηÞ This error has been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
