office and home contact information (addresses, phone and FAX numbers, electronic-mail
addresses) and the date of submission. Cover pages for the remaining four
copies should contain only the title of the article and the date of submission.
Separate sections should be created for acknowledgments, references, author
biography and other relevant information.

submitted on high-density, 3.5-inch diskettes. Macintosh-formatted disks
are preferred, but both IBM- and Macintosh- compatible formatting is accepted.

appear at the end of the article and be camera-ready.

a black-and-white photograph (one for each author) for publication should
