conductivity behavior
--------------------------------

Figure \[fig:II\_vs\_s\] presents the dependencies of the critical values of the filling ratio, $p_c$(a) and number density, $n_c$ (b), versus the order parameter, $s$, at different values of $m$. These values of $p_c$ and $n_c$ in the longitudinal direction (filled symbols) always exceeded those in the transversal direction (open symbols) and the rate of growth of these with increase of order parameter $s$. Moreover, an increase of $m$ resulted in a decrease of $p_c$ and an increase in $n_c$.

The correlations between critical values of the filling ratio, $p_c$, and number density, $n_c$, presented in Fig. \[fig:II\_pc\_vs\_nc\] evidence the quite different behavior of completely ordered
