Note for future - if a paper doesn't provide enough details for you to
consider reproducing the work, then you should contact the corresponding
author and ask for them. Reputable people will be happy to share more
details, and often even their topology files. If you get no satisfaction,
then (eventually) the editor will retract the paper...
