Why this differs from similar rows?

Adiabatic bulk modulus computed using the Voigt bound (KSV) from the global elastic-moduli fit; sibling row instead reports the Reuss bound (KSR), giving a slightly different value.

Evidence from the paper

we calculate the pressure dependence of the adiabatic bulk modulus, K_S0 = 257.1(6) GPa, K'_S0 = 3.71(4), and of the shear modulus, G_0 = 175.6(2) GPa, G'_0 = 1.86(1). Table 2: KSV Order 3, M0 (GPa) 257.1(6), M0' 3.71(4), M0'' (GPa−1) −0.014, P range 0–78.8 GPa.
