Evidence from the paper

'values that are significantly different from the second-order Birch-Murnaghan fit (K0S = 231 GPa, K' fixed to 4) that Guignot et al. [2007] applied to their data'; 'for postperovskite we assume the value of V0 = 162.2 Å3 given by Guignot et al. [2007]'; 'requiring an assumption of K' = 4'
