Tables
Tables used in manuscripts should be designed properly. They should be typed single-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively and supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory. Details of the methods used in the experiments should be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text. MS Excel files should not be embedded as objects. If the submission is in PDF format, the author is requested to retain a copy in .doc format also to aid in completion of process successfully.
Figures
The preferred file formats for photographic images are .doc and JPEG. If you have created images with separate components on different layers, please send us the Adobe Photoshop files. All images must be at optimal resolutions. Image files must be cropped as close to the actual image as possible.
Numerals
Arabic numerals must be used to label the figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Each legend must contain title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.
Equations
If equations cannot be encoded in MathML, submit them in TIFF or EPS format as discrete files. Each file should contain data for only one equation.
Additional Information
Discrete items of the Supplementary Information should be submitted in a new file and must be explained properly.
e-Prints
Electronic prints (PDF) will be sent as an e-mail attachment to the corresponding author. They are considered to be the final version of the manuscript.
