Language in abstract and paper

American English is to be used throughout. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the `spell-check’ and `grammar-check’ functions of your word processor. Authors who feel their English language paper may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or spelling errors to conform to proper scientific English are encouraged to seek professional service for this purpose. Abstracts and papers which do not conform to the above requirements will not be considered for publication in the journal listed.
