Yours sincerely Arthur Gilmour, Chief Editor, JAM EDITOR'S COMMENTS TO AUTHORS Dear author, First of all congratulation on the recent birth of your son. I have carefully considered your response to the reviewers and the revised manuscript and I am happy to see that you have managed to implement the suggested changes. I believe the manuscript can be published once the minor corrections indicated in the attached file are implemented thus I recommend an 'Accept subject to minor revision' decision on this revised manuscript. Thank you and I am looking forward to hearing from you in the near future. Kind regards REFEREE COMMENTS TO AUTHORS (Comments in attachment form should be accessed from your corresponding author centre) Reviewer 1 Comments: The revised version addresses the comments raised by the reviewers on the original manuscript. However, there are a few minor (mainly grammatical errors) corrections that need to be implemented (highlighted in yellow or underlined and comments inserted in the attached file). 接下就是小修改，就是语法错误，其实编辑都帮你改好了，只是要作者本人录入。
