Tables Tables should each be presented on a separate page, portrait (not landscape) orientation, and upright on the page, not sideways. Tables have a short, one-line title in bold text. Upright roman (not bold or italic) type of the same size as the rest of the text is used. The body of the table should not contain horizontal or vertical rules; these will be added when necessary after the paper has been accepted for publication. |

Figures
Figures should be presented in the order in which they are mentioned in the text. Wherever possible, figures should be submitted in their desired final size, to fit the width of a single column of text, i.e. 84 mm wide, or where it is necessary they should be 176 mm in maximum width. The final size of the printed figure cannot exceed 250 × 200 mm including legends
Figure legends
Figure legends should be listed one after the other, as part of the text document, separate from the figure files. Please do not write a legend below each figure.
Each figure legend should begin with a brief title for the whole figure and continue with a short description of each panel and the symbols used. For contributions with methods sections, legends should not contain any details of methods, or exceed 100 words (fewer than 500 words in total for the whole paper). In contributions without methods sections, legends should be fewer than 300 words.
All error bars must be defined in the figure legend.The audience for the Journal is wide. Authors may consider the inclusion of supplementary material, which will not be part of the main article, but provide background information for non-specialists to aid understanding of the article.
