Also provide a running title of less than 45 characters and spaces, which will appear on alternate pages in the journal. List Key Words that best code the contents of the article for indexing purposes. The abstract appears on the next page. The text proper begins on the following page and ends with a citation of acknowledgments, whenever appropriate. References, tabular material, figure captions, and footnotes follow. Tables and figures are numbered in order of their appearance with Arabic numerals and each should have a brief descriptive title. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively with superior Arabic numerals.

Mathematical Notation. Use typewritten letters, numbers, and symbols whenever possible. Identify boldface, script letters, etc. at their first occurrence. Distinguish between one and the letter “l” and between zero and the letter “O” whenever confusion might result.

References. Citation in the text is by names(s) of author(s), followed by year of publication in parentheses. For references authored by more than two contributors use first author's name and et al. For multiple citation in the same year use a, b, c after year of publication. The reference list should be typed alphabetically according to the following style.
