We have discovered a mistake in our original derivation related to the definition of the apparent conductivity due to orientation averaging. Equation (23) needs to be corrected to

{\tilde{χ}}^{(s)} = \frac{《 χ^{(s)} T^{(s)} 》}{《 T^{(s)} 》}

(23)

and the similar adjustment needs to be made in the two-dimensional case:

{\tilde{χ}}^{(s)} = \frac{{《 χ^{(s)} T^{(s)} 》}_{2 D}}{{《 T^{(s)} 》}_{2 D}}

(38)

Finally, Equation (39) and the corresponding text becomes: ”…, define a certain indicator of the real microstructure k_corr, e.g. as a ratio of the modified and original partial temperature gradient concentration factors

k_{corr} = \frac{{\tilde{T}}_{cir}^{(1)}}{T_{cir}^{(1)}}

(39)

now determined for circular inclusions.”

We apologize to readers for any inconvenience.
