An abstract of 50--250 words should beincluded with all manuscripts and follow the title page on a separatesheet. When a word processor is used in preparing the manuscript ahard copy output according to the above style must be submitted.Headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper (e.g.Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion) should beclearly indicated. Detailed mathematical discussions should be placedin an appendix. Units of measurement, abbreviations and symbolsshould follow the International System of Units (SI). Equationsshould be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals in parentheseson the right-hand side of the page. Special symbols should beidentified in the margin. In word-processing manuscripts, useappropriate typeface. It will be assumed that letters in displayedequations are to be set in italic type unless marked otherwise. Allletter symbols in the text must be marked if they are to be italic orboldface.
Tables and figures
Tables should be given short informative titles and should benumbered consecutively in arabic numerals. Figures in a form suitablefor reproduction should be submitted separately from the text asoriginal reproducible drawings, or as high-contrast sharp unmountedphotographs on glossy paper. Lettering on figures should beproportional to the size of the figure to ensure legibility afterreduction. The following should be indicated lightly in soft pencilon the back of each figure: (1) the top of the figure by an arrow,(2) the author and the figure number. All figures and tables shouldbe cited consecutively in the text and a list of captions should beprovided at the end of the paper.
References and reference section
This section should be used only for references to previous work.Additional information, such as experimental details, etc., should beincorporated into the text. References should be numbered in sequenceand cited in the text. Technical reports, memos, unpublished or to bepublished articles should not be listed - only published work injournals or books should be cited as references. References shouldcontain full title and be listed at the end of the paper in thereference section in the numerical order they appear in the text.
References should be listed in the following style:
