No.3 • (Original) Neither conventional models nor previous literature (address, addresses) the backpropagation delay problem in this structure. • (Revised) Neither conventional models nor previous literature addresses the backpropagation delay problem in this structure.
No.4 • (Original) Unknown variables or time significantly (influence, influences) the product quality when the machine parts are in close proximity to each other. • (Revised) Unknown variables or time significantly influences the product quality when the machine parts are in close proximity to each other.
[Note 2.12] • Avoid wordiness by saying near instead of in close proximity to.
No.5 • (Original) The number of theoretical investigations on bubble/liquid displacement in a tube (is, are) increasing. • (Revised) The number of theoretical investigations on bubble/liquid displacement in a tube is increasing.

[Note 2.13] • Depending on the sentence’s context, significantly, markedly, and substantially can be used as alternatives to much and greatly when the Chinese meaning is 很多.

[Note 2.14] • Depending on the sentence’s context, critical, crucial, essential, pertinent, relevant, significant and vital can be used as alternatives to important when the Chinese meaning is 重要.

No.11 • (Original) Melt temperature accompanied by mold temperature in all cases (impact, impacts) skin melt thickness. • (Revised) Melt temperature accompanied by mold temperature in all cases impacts skin melt thickness.
[Note 2.15] • Avoid wordiness by saying always instead of in all cases.
