hi, I previously sent a message to you to check my answers to your comments, but have not heard from you. I need to get this revision done soon due to the due date. If you happen to skip through, please make sure to check all of my answers to your comments and let me know soon after you see my message.<br /><br />Below is a copy of what I sent to you yesterday.<br /><br />
<p>Q&amp;A:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>1. Comment 8: Do you mean "the way in which siloxane was mixed..." ??</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: Yes, I meant it like what you said. Then can I write it as follows?<br /><br />--&gt; &nbsp;Interestingly, the way in which siloxane was mixed also influenced removal and mobility of ZnO NPs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>2. Comment 13: Is this a caption? It seems to be out of place here.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: Yes. You&rsquo;re correct. So in this case is the following sentence is fine? When you read, was there anything awkward meaning?</p>
<p>--&gt; Effect of porous media (beach sand) on the removal and release kinetics of the nano-metal oxides under various environmental parameters</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>3. Comment 14: One session of 3 weeks each year? Or 3 sessions of 1 week duration each year?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Answer</strong>: I meant &ldquo;One session of 3 weeks each year&rdquo; so total two sessions for two years.</p>
<p>So then, is the following sentence correct to say what I meant?</p>
<p>--&gt; The PI plans to have one session of 3-week summer per year (for 2 years) for teacher on-site research.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>4. Comment 15: I believe this is your first mention of a lab tour, so you probably need to explain it here or earlier - is a tour of your lab going to be offered to policy makers and manufacturers?</p>
<p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Answer: </strong>yes, so then, is it fine writing it as follows?</p>
<p>--&gt; We will conduct survey from workshops held at the end of the public lecture, workshop, lab tour of the policy-maker and manufacturer. <strong>A tour of the PI&rsquo;s laboratory is going to be offered to policy makers and manufacturers</strong>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>5. Comment 16: Suggest you clarify meaning of "potential applications." Do you mean application to graduate school, for example?</p>
<p><strong>Answer: </strong>No, I meant nanotechnology application, so in this case, can I write it as follows?</p>
<p>--&gt; Motivation of individuals to learn more in this field for minimizing environmental impacts in nanotechnology applications</p>
