These instructions give you basic guidelines for preparing
camera-ready papers for 4th KU-CMU Joint Symposium 2012
proceedings.
Please note that colored lines and photographs may not
reproduce well in the final printed form, as the proceedings will
be printed in black and white.

INTRODUCTIONYour goal is to simulate the usual appearance of one-page
abstracts in 4th KU-CMU Joint Symposium 2012
proceedings. For items not addressed in these instructions,please refer to the last issue of your conference’s proceedings
or your Publications chair.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms ofcolumns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns.
Large figures and tables may span across both columns.
Figure captions should be centered below the figures; tablecaptions should be centered above. Avoid placing figures
and tables before their first mention in the text. Use theabbreviation “Fig. 1,” even at the beginning of a sentence.
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Usewords rather than symbols.
For example, write“Magnetization,” or “Magnetization, M,” not just “M.” Putunits in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. Inthe example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization(A m1).” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities andunits.
For example, write “Temperature (K),” not“Temperature/K.”
Multipliers can be especially confusing.
Write“Magnetization (kA/m)” or “Magnetization (103 A/m).”Figure labels should be legible, about 10-point type.

The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” inAmerica is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid thestilted expression, “One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead,

Additional Instructions for Final Papers

Abstract-These instructions give you basic guidelines for
preparing camera-ready papers for 4th KU-CMU Joint
Symposium 2012 proceedings.
Please note that colored lines and photographs may not
reproduce well in the final printed form, as the proceedings will

INTRODUCTIONYour goal is to simulate the usual appearance of one-page
paper abstract in 4th KU-CMU Joint Symposium 2012
proceedings. For items not addressed in these instructions,please refer to the last issue of your conference’s proceedings
or your Publications chair.
A. Full-Sized Camera-Ready (CR) Copy
Prepare your CR paper in full-size format on A4 paper.
Type sizes and typefaces: Follow the type sizes specified inTable I. As an aid in gauging type size, 1 point is about 0.35mm. The size of the lowercase letter “j” will give the pointsize. Times New Roman is the preferred font.
2) A4 margins: top = 20mm, bottom = 20mm, side = 15mm.
The column width is 87mm. The space between the twocolumns is 6mm. Paragraph indentation is 3.5 mm.
Left- and right-justify your columns. Use tables andfigures to adjust column length. Use automatic hyphenationand check spelling. Digitize or paste down figures.

HELPFUL H INTS

A. Figures and Tables
Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms ofcolumns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns.
Large figures and tables may span across both columns.
Figure captions should be centered below the figures; tablecaptions should be centered above. Avoid placing figures
and tables before their first mention in the text. Use theabbreviation “Fig. 1,” even at the beginning of a sentence.

ItalicB. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1].
Punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to thereference number, as in [3]. Use “Ref. [3]” or Reference [3]”at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the first…”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place theactual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it wascited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use lettersfor table footnotes (see Table I). Give all authors’ names;use “et al.” if there are six authors or more. Papers that havenot been published, even if they have been submitted forpublication, should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers
that have been accepted for publication should be cited as “inpress” [5]. In a paper title, capitalize the first word and allother words except for conjunctions, prepositions less thanseven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give theEnglish citation, then the original foreign-language citation[6].
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they areused in the text, even if they have been defined in theabstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc,and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviationsin the title unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers inparentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To makeyour equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ),the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Romansymbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols.
Use an en dash (–) rather than a hyphen for a minus sign.
Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators.
Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they arepart of a sentence, as ina6

Subheadings with letters. Use two spaces after periods (fullstops). Hyphenate complex modifiers: “zero-field-cooledmagnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using(1), the potential was calculated.” Write instead, “Thepotential was calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), wecalculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use“cm3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings andabbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per square
meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in
text: “…a few henries,” not “…a few H.” If your native
language is not English, try to get a native English-speaking
colleague to proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
III.

UNITS

Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units areencouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units(in parentheses). An exception would be the use of English
units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current inamperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads toconfusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If
you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for eachquantity that you use in an equation.
IV.

SOME COMMON MISTAKESThe word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript forthe permeability of vacuum0 is zero, not a lowercase letter“o.” In American English, periods and commas are within
quotation marks, like “this period.”
A parentheticalstatement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of
the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence
is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within agraph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word alternatively ispreferred to the word “alternately” (unless you meansomething that alternates). Do not use the word “essentially”
to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Be aware of thedifferent meanings of the homophones “affect” and “effect,”“complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,”“principal” and “principle.” Do not confuse “imply” and“infer.” The prefix “non” is not a word; it should be joined
to the word it modifies, usually without a hyphen. There isno period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” Theabbreviation “i.e.” means “that is,” and the abbreviation“e.g.” means “for example.” An excellent style manual forscience writers is [7].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” inAmerica is without an “e” after the “g.” Try to avoid thestilted expression, “One of us (R. B. G.) thanks …” Instead,
try “R.B.G. thanks …”
