COMMENTS:

Served as an optimization variable in GRI-Mech 1.1, 1.2, and 2.1 releases. As a result of optimization round 1.1, the preexponential factor was increase by 1.81. In optimization rounds 1.2 and 2.1 the rate coefficient was returned to the original value.

Served as an optimization variable in GRI-Mech 3.0 release and was changed by a factor of 1.37.
