In a technical note authors may present preliminary results of work in


progress or extension/refinement of results already published; work on
subjects of limited interest to NT readers may also appear as a technical
note. A note may also summarize information presented fully elsewhere,
e.g., a lab report or the proceeding of a meeting.
