Footnotes: Please avoid footnotes whenever possible except for dedications and similar purposes. Equations have to be presented in the form desired for printing, with clearly distinguished sub- and superscripts, exponents and Greek letters.

Illustrations and Tables: Figure files should be saved in TIFF or EPS format (final resolution 300 dpi for halftones, 1000 dpi for line drawings). The ratio of the used font size to the size of the diagonal of the figure should be at least 0.02. For previously published illustrations a copy of permission is required. For reference to equations, illustrations and tables abbreviations as e. g. Eq. (1), Fig. 1, Tab. 1 should be used.
