-          S2: the researchers last week sent for the second time to the journal their manuscript

-          S4: X is  a  new  feature  for  calculating  velocity. It is  particularly interesting for physicists.

-          S1: A  gradual  decline in  germinability  and  vigor of  the  resultant seedling, a higher sensitivity to stresses upon germination, and possibly a loss of the ability to germinate are recorded in the literature.

S3: There is  generally  a  gradual  decline in  germinability  and of  the resultant  seedling,  followed by  a  higher  sensitivity to  stress  upon germination, and possibly a loss of the ability to germinate.

-          S1: We  can associate  a  high   cost, higher   overheads, a significant increase in man-hours and several other problems with these values.
S2: We  can associate  a  high  cost  with  these  values,  along  with  higher overheads, a significant increase in man-hours   and   several   other problems.

-          S3: In the last few years there has been an increasing interest in 3D cellular phones.

-          S1: For this reason / It follows that / As a consequence / As a result, it is not a good idea to use the old system.
S2: The new system should be used. In  addition, it  should be integrated with all the data from the previous project.

-          S2: This is a paper particularly interesting for PhD students.
S5: We examined a patient, 30 years old, to investigate whether…
