**Abstract**

This paper presents the requirements for preparing a MEDSI2002 Workshop
final manuscript for publication.

**Keywords:** Vibration Damping, Damping Pads, Viscoelastic, Storage
Ring

1.  **Submission of papers**

Each author should submit all of the source files (text and figures),
the postscript file, and a hard copy version of the paper.

1.  **Manuscripts**

Authors are advised to use one of the MEDSI2002 templates. These are
available for MS Word 97 and MS Word2000 for U.S. letter size and A4
size paper. The maximum number of pages is eight (8).

1.  *General Layout*

These instructions are a typical implementation of the requirements.
Manuscripts should be prepared for one side of the paper and have:

-   Either A4 (21.0 cm 29.7 cm: 8.27 in 11.69 in) or U.S. letter size
    (21.6 cm 27.9 cm; 8.5 in 11.0 in) paper.

-   Single-spaced text in one column 6 in (15.2 cm) wide by 9 in
    (22.9 cm) high.

-   The text is located within the margins specified in Table 1 to
    facilitate electronic processing of the postscript file.

The layout of the text on the page is illustrated in Fig. 1.

Fig.1: Layout of papers.

1.  *Fonts*

We are requesting that you use only Times (in bold or italic) and Symbol
fonts from the standard postscript set of fonts.

1.  *Title and Author List*

The title should use 16-point bold letters and be centered on the page
in upper and lower case letters. The names of the authors should be in
14-point upper/lower case letters. The organizations/affiliations and
mailing addresses, as well as the telephone and fax numbers and e-mail
addresses of the first authors at each organization should be grouped by
affiliation and listed in 8-point italic, upper/lower case letters.

1.  *Section Headings*

Section headings should be numbered, use 12-point bold upper/lower case
letters, and be left-justified. All section headings should appear
directly above the sections text---there should never be a page break
between a heading and the following paragraph.

1.  *Subsection Headings*

Subsection headings should be numbered (e.g., 2.1 General Layout), use
12-point italic letters and be left-justified. Subsection headings
should appear directly above the text---there should never be a column
break between a subheading and the following paragraph.

1.  *Paragraph Text*

Paragraphs should use 12-point font and be justified (touch each side)
of the margin. The beginning of each paragraph should be indented
approximately 0.5 in (12.7 mm). The last line of a paragraph should not
be printed by itself at the beginning of a page (widow) nor should the
first line of a paragraph be printed by itself at the end of a page
(orphan).

1.  *Figures, Tables and Equations*

Place figures and tables as close to the text where they're mentioned as
possible. Lettering in figures and tables should be large enough to
reproduce clearly. Please use the approved fonts whenever possible.

All figures and tables must be given sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.)
and have captions (12-point font) placed below figures and above tables
being described.

Text should not be obscured by figures. For more information on working
with figures in Microsoft Word (including how to insert them in the most
efficient manner), see the Microsoft Word help files.

If a displayed equation needs a number, place it flush with the right
margin of the column (see Eq. 1). Units should be written in the roman
font, not the italic font.

1.  *References*

All bibliographical and web references should be numbered and listed at
the end of the paper in a section called "References." When referring to
a reference in the text, place the corresponding reference number in
square brackets \[1-3\].

1.  *Footnotes*

Footnotes on the title and author lines may be used for
acknowledgements, affiliations, etc. A nonnumeric sequence of characters
(\*, ^\#^, ^†^,^‡^) should be used. All other notes should be included
in the reference section and use the normal numeric sequencing. [DO
NOT]{.underline} use Word's footnote or endnote features to insert
footnotes or references.

1.  *Acronyms*

Acronyms should be defined the first time they appear.

1.  **Page Numbers**

**DO NOT include any page numbers.** They will be added when the final
proceedings are produced.

1.  **Templates**

Templates and examples can be retrieved through Web browsers like
Netscape and Internet Explorer by loading to disk. See your local
documentation for details about how to do this.

Authors are required to use templates for the correct paper size and are
advised to use the template corresponding to the correct version of
Word. Do not transport the document across different platforms, e.g.,
Mac↔PC.

1.  **Checklist for Preparing Your Manuscript**

-   Use only Times (bold or italic) and Symbol fonts for text---12-point
    minimum.

-   Figures should be in Times (bold or italic) and Symbol fonts when
    possible---8-point minimum.

-   Check that the postscript file prints correctly.

-   Check that there are no page numbers.

-   Check that the margins are correct on the printed version. There may
    be differences of ±1 mm on the margins from one printer to another.

-   Check the size of the postscript file---an average size should be
    about 100-300 kbytes. If the file size is over 300 kbytes, please
    try to make it smaller.
