Manuscripts must be in good English, clearly written and proofread. Manuscripts should be typed single-sided, with double-spacing
and margins of at least one inch on
all sides. Pages should be numbered consecutively and the manuscript should contain the following elements:
- Title Page. The first
page should include the title of the article, the complete names and institutional affiliations of all authors. As separate items,
list the complete name and address of the corresponding author and provide a short title to be used as a running head (not to
exceed 50 characters). Authors should continue to show the original date of receipt (as indicated by the Editor) on the title
page of revised manuscripts.
- Abstract. Each article should be prefaced by a brief abstract (less than 200 words).
Text. The text should be organized clearly and headings and subheadings should be indicated. All mathematical symbols and Greek
letters must be identified clearly. You should avoid long formulae in every way possible. Subscripts and superscripts should be set off clearly and a zero should precede all decimal points.
Principal equations should be displayed on separate lines and the following sequence of parentheses should be used: )]}. Equation numbers
should be given in parentheses at the right-hand margin.
Illustrations. Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos,
photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digitals files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and
should follow these guidelines:
- 300 dpi or higher

Color illustrations will be considered for publication; however, the author will be required to bear the full cost involved in their
printing and publication. The charge for the first page with color is $900.00. The next three pages with color are $450.00 each.
A custom quote will be provided for color art totaling more than 4 journal pages. Good-quality color prints or files should be provided
in their final size. The publisher has the right to refuse publication of color prints deemed unacceptable.

MS Word submission: Tables and figures should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should
