Authors of selected publications will be asked to supply an electronic version of their paper.

• All graphics muct be supplied in black and white or greyscale. Graphic files must be in Postscript (PS), EPS, or Adobe Illustrator. Graphs from PowerPoint and Excel files, including the data, may also be acceptable, but should problems arise, the author will be responsible for providing files in one of the other formats given above. It is best to remove figures from Word files.

• Tables should be supplied as text and not figures (if tables are highly formatted, they should be sent as tab-delimited text files). Tables supplied as TeX/Latex are also acceptable.

• All files should be the final version -- they should include acknowledgements (if any) and up-to-date addresses, and the text files and figures should be identical in content to the pdf or hard copy.
