Hi,&nbsp;Nagatomi:<br /><br /><br />I have uploaded your edited document, and I hope that you find the suggestions helpful. If you have any questions, please send a message to me via Editor World.<br /><br />Needless to say, I made more changes&nbsp;than necessary, but you can easily accept or reject any change using track changes. &nbsp;Although I was careful not to change the content, please proofread your edited document carefully. This is a very interesting&nbsp;thesis and, given China's importance, hard to believe that it hasn't been thoroughly examined. I would say that you're working on something quite original.&nbsp;<br /><br />Best wishes - George (TypeRighter)<br />I am usually available for editing between 6:00 am and 10:30 pm (EST). If my status says 'unavailable', you can still reach me via Editor World.
