Hi Cyndi: &nbsp;This is an interesting paper; I did have quite a few questions about details and some of the terms, but they should be easy enough for you to answer. Some of the questions that and comments that I had are the result of my "thinking out loud" as I read, and I left them in just because they might occur to your readers too. &nbsp;You don't need to answer them, but they might be something to think about when you make the final revisions. Your concluding sentence is quite good,and I would suggest making it the topic sentence of the final paragraph and fleshing it out instead of ending with it. &nbsp;Your target journal requires the use of author first name, so if you can use that instead of the first initial, please do.<br />Thanks for sending.
