In multiple-line equations, the number should be given on the last line.

They will be inserted in the text nearest their first reference. Original indian ink drawings, glossy prints or laser printed hard copies are preferred. Please send one set of originals with copies. If the author requires the publisher to reduce the figures, ensure that the figures (including letterings and numbers) are large enough to be clearly seen after reduction, probably a 50% reduction. Photographs will be reproduced in black and white, so black and white originals are preferred. S SL 4m2 π Fig. 1. A schematic illustration of dissociative recombination. The direct mechanism, 4m 2 π is initiated when the molecular ion S L captures an electron with kinetic energy. Figures are to be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals. The caption must be placed below the figure, type preferably in 8 pt Times Roman. Use double spacing between a caption and the text that follows immediately. Previously published material must be accompanied by written permission from the author and publisher. 6. Tables Tables are to be numbered sequentially using Arabic numerals. Each should occupy a separate page and have the caption placed above, typed preferably in 8pt Times Roman and centred. Table 1. problem.

References References cited in the text should be placed within square brackets and state as [surname of author(s), year of publication], e.g., [Smith, 1964], [Smith and Thomas, 1964] and, with three or more authors, [Smith et al., 1964]. If the reference reads as part of the sentences, the square brackets enclose only the year of publication, e.g., According to Smith [1964],...
