Abstract These instructions give you basic guidelines
for preparing your journal quality paper for the
Conference Proceedings.
The Proceedings will be
published in a CD-ROM (color) and papers may also be
published later in print (B&W). CD-ROM Proceedings
will be available at the Conference. The normal length of
the paper must be kept to six (6) pages maximum.

Paragraph indent for body text is 5mm (0.25).

The Acknowledgments, References Appendix,
and Appendix Title, are centered. The Roman numerals
used to number the section headings are optional. If you
do use them, number Introduction, but not
Acknowledgment or References. See Table 1 for all
font point sizes

I. INTRODUCTION

G. Variables
Variables are in italics throughout the paper.

The Conference Proceedings will be published from

the copy prepared by each author as provided in your
original manuscript. Printed pages will be limited to those
of Conference Proceedings quality. Please follow the
instructions closely. Your manuscript will be reproduced
exactly as we receive it; please check and correct spelling
and grammar mistakes before uploading the final
manuscript. If errors are detected after the fact, you are
allowed a total of three uploads at the abstracts website.

H. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation
numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in
(1.1), (1.2), (2.1), (2.2), etc.. To make your equations
more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp
function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman
symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek
symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a
minus sign. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in
denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or
periods when they are part of a sentence, as in

II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. Paper Size
Prepare your paper in full-size format, on A4 size
(210mm by 297mm).

(1.1)

B. Margins
Top = 18mm (0.75), bottom = 25mm (1), side =
18mm (0.625).

a+b=c.

Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been

defined before the equation appears or immediately
following. Use (1.1), not Eq. (1.1) or equation
(1.1), except at the beginning of a sentence: Equation
(1.1) is

C. Pagination.

center in 12 pt. font. (Applies to both Word and PDF)

I.

Figures
Figures must occupy a single column, if possible, and
must be image inserted in place. The caption is under the
figure.
All reference to the figure use Fig. followed by the
figure number. Fig. is also used in the caption.

D. Columns
Two columns, 84mm (3.5) wide, separated by 6mm
(0.25), fully justified.
E. Font
Times New Roman. If other fonts are used for
specialty items, you must include font files with your
email. See Table 1 for type sizes.

J.

Tables
Tables must occupy a single column, if possible, and
must be printed in place. The name is above the table.

F. Style
Primary, first-level headings are centered, numbered
with Roman numerals (I., II., III., etc.)
Secondary Headings are flush left, numbered with
cap letters (A., B., etc.)
Tertiary headings are indented, numbered with Arabic
numbers followed by a right parenthesis.

Do not use poor quality photostats, Ozalids,

blueprints, hectographs, or photocopies. Maintain a firm,
even dark, sharp impression throughout copy. Shades of
blue, green, and brown do not reproduce effectively.

K. Figures and Tables

Place figures and tables at or near the top or bottom
of columns where possible. Large figures and tables may
span across both columns. Figure captions must be below
the figures; table captions must be above the tables.
Avoid placing figures and tables before their first mention
in the text. Use the abbreviation Fig. 1, even at the
beginning of a sentence.
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion.
Try to use words rather than symbols. As an example,
write the quantity Magnetization, or Magnetization,
M, not just M. Put units in parentheses. Do not label
axes only with units.
In the example, write
Magnetization (A/m) or Magnetization (A/m-1), not
just A/m. Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities
and units. For example, write Temperature (K), not
Temperature/K.
Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write
Magnetization (kA/m) or Magnetization (103 A/m).
Do not write Magnetization (A/m) x 1000 because the
reader would not know whether the top axis label in Fig. 1
meant 15 000 A/m. or 0.015 A/m. Figure labels must be
legible, about 8-point type.

A. Subheadings with Letters

Use two spaces after periods (full stops). Hyphenate
complex modifiers: zero-field-cooled magnetization.
Avoid dangling participles, such as, Using (1), the
potential was calculated. Write instead, The potential
was calculated using (1), or Using (1), we calculated the
potential.
Use a zero before decimal points: 0.25, not .25.
Use cm3, not cc. Do not mix complete spellings and
abbreviations of units: Wb2/m2 or webers per square
meter, not webers/m2. Spell units when they appear in
text: a few henries, not a few H. If your native
language is not English, try to get a native English
speaking colleague to proofread your paper.
B. Units
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI
units are encouraged.) English units may be used as
secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be
the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as
3.5-inch disk drive.
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current
in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often
leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state
the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.

L.

Photographs
Color or black and white photos must occupy a single
column, if possible, and images must be embedded. The
caption is under the photograph.
M. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they
are used in the text, even after they have been defined in
the abstract. Common abbreviations such as IEEE, SI,
MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do
not use abbreviations in the title unless they are
unavoidable.

C. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets
[1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2].
Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. Do not
use Ref. [3] or reference [3] except at the beginning of
a sentence: Reference [3] was the first
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place
the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it
was cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use
letters for table footnotes (see Table I).
IEEE
Transactions no longer use a journal prefix before the
volume number. For example, use IEEE Trans. Magn.,
vol. 25, not vol. MAG-25.
Give all authors names; do not use et al. unless
there are six authors or more. Papers that have not been
published, even if they have been submitted for
publication, must be cited as unpublished [4]. Papers
that have been accepted for publication must be cited as

III. HELPFUL HINTS

Maintain uniformity throughout paper. Produce for
maximum legibility. Type must be clear and crisp. The
CD will be produced in color, so we suggest that all
pictures be in color.

in press [5]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper
title, except for proper nouns and element symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please
give the English citation first, followed by the original
foreign-language citation [6].
IV. SOME COMMON MISTAKES
The word data is plural, not singular. The subscript
for the permeability of vacuum 0 is zero, not a lowercase
letter o. In American English, periods and commas are
within quotation marks, like this period. A parenthetical
statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of
the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is
punctuated within the parentheses.)
A graph within a graph is an inset, not an insert.
The word alternatively is preferred to the word
alternately (unless you really mean something that
alternates). Do not use the word essentially to mean
approximately or effectively. Be aware of the
different meanings of the homophones or homonyms,
affect and effect, complement and compliment,
discreet and discrete, principal and principle. Do
not confuse imply and infer, nor ensure and
insure. The prefix non is not a word; it must be
joined to the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen.
There is no period after the et in the Latin
abbreviation et al. The abbreviation i.e. means that
is, and the abbreviation e.g. means for example.
When using these abbreviations, they should be followed
by a comma, e.g., as used in this sentence. An excellent
style manual and source of information for science writers
is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The
preferred
spelling
of
the
word
acknowledgment in America is without an e after the
g. Try to avoid the stilted expression, One of us (R. B.
G.) thanks Instead, try R.B.G. thanks Put
sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on
the first page.
