The authors make a valiant effort at extracting additional information about the properties of aerosol from measurements with optical particle counters (OPC), in particular the PCASP and the FSSP-300. In the end, the results are convincing and they have done a very nice job of constraining the uncertainties. The style of writing, however, is at times obtuse and difficult to understand. Examples...

This paper studies a new coordination game, the Language Game, of a large but finite population. The population is partitioned into two groups of identical agents. Each player shares a common two-action strategy set and interacts pairwise with everyone else. Both symmetric profiles are pareto-efficient strict equilibria, but the groups rank them differently. The profile where successful coordin...

Considerable attention has been paid in the CA literature to the glossing practices through which participants in conversation formulate who they are, what they are talking about, where the things they are talking about are located, and so forth. There are, of course, gestural glossing practices as well. For any concept or category presented gesturally, however, there is a range of possibilitie...

The current study investigated the effects of L1 and L2 glosses on L2 vocabulary retention in incidental and intentional settings. To this end, 100 intermediate Iranian female learners of English as a foreign language at Soroosh High School were given a pre-test to make sure that they do not have any prior knowledge of the target words. Reading passages with three different glossing conditions ...

 L. 4-5 p.9995: To be precise, in [Deshler et al., 2003, cited in the paper], the authors mention the value of 150 nm as smallest particle size measured by optical particle counters (OPC) at Laramie. However, these authors also measure condensation nuclei (radius ≤ 0.01 μm) by growing particle with sizes down to 0.01 μm in the sample stream.  L. 5-6 p.9995: “sensitive to nature of the particl...
