 93 Tables

94 Tables with captions are placed here in numerical order and not embedded in main body
95 of the paper. Captions are placed at the head of the Table using 12 pt, Times New
96 Roman, Bold. Tables should not use vertical lines or shading.

97 Figure Captions and Figures

98 A list of figure captions is placed here. [12 pt, Times New Roman, bold].

99 Images of figures are then placed following this list in numerical order and not embedded
100 in the main body of the paper. Do not include the figure number within the actual image.
101 Captions are placed below the figures.

102 Authors should bear in mind that figures may be reduced to fit the Journal page, and take
103 particular care to ensure that figure symbols, line types, and lettering can be resolved at
104 publication size (a minimum of 18-20 pt, Arial is recommended). Figures should be
105 prepared for either column placement or half/full page placement.Select figure layouts
106 that are square or portrait over landscape to enable placement within a single column
107 unless the figure contains sufficient detail that a half page landscape figure is appropriate.
108 Authors should check each figure for legibility when reduced to column width. Colour to
109 grayscale conversion should be done before submission to assure that the figure will print
110 clearly in greyscale. Solid fills should be used, not gradient or textured fills. It is
111 important to vary line types and symbols, as shades of gray/black are difficult to
112 distinguish. Colour figures require special arrangements with the Editor(s) as additional
113 charges will apply.

114 Figures should be provided in .eps or .tif format (minimum 300 dpi, preferably 600 dpi).
