Check files for extraneous information. Edit out any figure captions or
e-mail headers. The only data in the file should be the figure itself.
Colour figures can be printed only if the costs are covered by the
author (250.00 for first colour figure, 200.00 for every following
colour figure).
Submit color files at 300 dpi TIFF, PS, or EPS format. If selecting a
file mode, use CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) or RGB (Red,
Green, Blue).
If, together with your accepted article, you submit usable colour
figures then Elsevier will ensure, at no additional charge that these
figures will appear in colour on the web (e.g., ScienceDirect and other
sites) regardless of whether or not these illustrations are reproduced
on colour in the printed version.

Every illustration should have a caption, listed on a separate sheet.
Tables should be prepared so that they can be printed in one column or
full page width (see above). Tables should bear consecutive numbers.
Please add headings immediately above the tables.
Literature references should appear in the text as consecutive numbers
between angular brackets, e.g. [3], they should be listed in full at the
end of the article.

In order to facilitate speedy and correct publication, please send us the
final form of your manuscript, carefully typed and ready for printing.
Only printers errors may be corrected in the proofs.
Later alterations would have to be published at the end of the article
under the heading Postscript at proof stage. Please take special care
with the writing of formulae. There should be clear distinctions between
0 (zero) and o, O (letter o); between 1 (figure one), I (absolute value
stroke), and l (letter l); also between n and u, and small k and capital K.
Please indicate clearly the positional height of all symbols so that powers
and indices can be recognized correctly.
All formula symbols will be set in sloping type (italics), except for those
denoting functions (sin, exp. etc), or units (cm, J. etc.), and abbreviations
(max., etc). Any further exceptions should be marked in the text. Vectors
will always be set in half bold type instead of arrows above them.
