Evidence from the paper

We fit third order Birch-Murnagham equations of state (EOS) to the computed pressure-volume relations (Table 1). Table 1, MgSiO3 pv: V0 = 40.78(38.53) Å^3/3 O atoms, K0 = 232(271) GPa, K' = 3.86(3.74); LDA value with GGA in parentheses. Our calculations are static, i.e. include no temperature effect.
