not being submitted elsewhere.

•  Manuscripts should be submitted in electronic format in Microsoft Word

(.doc), on 3.5" disk or CD-ROM, which must be checked with up-to-date

virus scanner. Manuscripts may also be submitted via this e-mail:

•  Abstracts (in Arabic or English), are to be approximately 100-200 words,

which should comprise a clear and concise summary of the text and

conclusions of the paper.

•  Computer illustration, including photographs (which must be kept to a

minimum), charts and diagrams, must be submitted in high resolution

should accompany the manuscript but should not be inserted in the text.

•  Illustrations are to be referred to as "Figures" and should be numbered

consecutively in the order in which they are referred to in the text. They

should be designed to go across a single or double column width of the

page. Brief captions should be provided to make the figures as

informative as possible.

•  All hand line drawings should be made with black drawing on white

paper (preferably tracing paper). The authors' last name should be

written in the margins (or on back) for identifications.

•  Non-computer photographs should be glossy prints. The authors last

the page in capital letters. Headings of the text, first lower rank should

For headings of second lower rank, underline and place a dash after the

headings, and follow with text on the same line.

•  All references should be grouped at the end of the paper, under the

heading REFERENCES, either alphabetically or numbered in the order

they appear in the text. For a given author referred to more than once,
