Searching on the original article I noticed that they was token from the wrong column (it is possible it is a copy/paste error).

Attached you can find the interested table.

Dear Michele,

Thank you so much for reporting this mistake. I just updated the 5 attachment cross sections retrieved from the same table.

With kind regards,

Sergey
