Hi Tyler,

       I appreciate your clarification on the dielectric asymptotic
parameter.
       But for DRISM, isn't the bridge function calculated through the
chain sum definition of \chi according to Eq.(28) of Perkyns and
Pettitt (JCP,97:7656)?
If it is, then it should be the same for whatever the closure you choose.
