MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION

Please prepare your manuscript for the proceedings of the symposium in Microsoft Word format.

If you are not a user of Word, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is also acceptable.

If you cannot prepare either file format, please contact us immediately.

All manuscripts should be supplied by e-mail to proceedings@memro.org or on a Windows formatted diskette or CD-ROM by mail.

1. The maximum number of characters is 10,000 (exclusive space characters). Tables, figures, and photographs are acceptable, their maximum number is 5.
2. Each manuscript should be preceded by a title section showing the exact title and the name(s) of the author(s) including the affiliations and e-mail address. The text should be separated into two, three, or more numbered major sections (which can include several subsections).
