  • The title of the paper should be followed by the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s). E-mail address(es) should be inserted in the footnote.

    Each manuscript should contain a preferably formula-free abstract with the heading "Abstract" following the affiliation(s).
  • The abstract should not exceed 150 words.
