The first page consists of two parts:(a) Front matters : single column (title, author(s),affiliation(s), contact address(es), E-mail address(es), abstract, key words)．The e-mail address of the corresponding author is mandatory.
E-mail address should be indicated in a separate,independent line.
(b) Main text in double columns.
The journal name, volume and issue numbers andthe date of issue should be aligned right in the top
margin. Page numbers are to be put in the bottom
margins of the manuscript. Some word processing
softwares do not allow texts in both single and double
columns to be put together in one file, and thus, create
two separate files for the title page.
