Pulsing Addition to Modulated Electro-Hyperthermia

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Comments and Suggestions for Authors

1. “the effects of heating were initially neglected” - line 3. Please cite some effects that were initially neglected.

2. The affirmation on line 36 should be referenced.

3. Remove the dot after the name "Figure 9" - line 251

4. In Figure 8, the labels A, B, and C should be referenced in the legend without the dot. For example, (A.) should be (a). The same is true for other Figures.

6. The equations 1 and 2 are confusing. Please find a better way to display such equations and the meaning of each term. Maybe you can enumerate each one...

7. Lines 281, 282, 283, and 284 have different text styles and sizes. Please check them according to the author's guidelines. Also, all the formatation of the text should be carefully checked.

8. line 297 - what is the meaning of 41C° ? It should be 41 °C?? Please check and put all the units in the S.I.

9. A high percentage (19%) of the text matches with other works of literature. Please check and rewrite it. It shouldn't be more than 3%.
