• Paper Preparation

• 1. LaTeX Style File and MS Word Template
     For the convenience of LaTeX users, we provide a LaTeX style file (nolta2019.sty) which automatically formats the manuscript in accordance with the symposium requirements. A LaTeX sample file (nolta2019.tex) will show you how to use the style file. We also provide a Microsoft Word template (nolta2019.doc) and a sample paper in PDF format (nolta2019.pdf).
     nolta2019.sty (LaTeX style file)
     nolta2019.tex (LaTeX sample source file)
     nolta2019.doc (Microsoft Word template)
     nolta2019.pdf (Sample paper in PDF format)
     If you don't use these templates, please read the instructions below carefully and follow them as closely as possible in order to produce high-quality proceedings with common formatting for all papers.
  2. Paper Format
     Please prepare your paper in A4 format (210mm by 297mm). Set the top margin to 30mm with the exception of the first page which begins 35mm from the top edge. Set the bottom margin to 30mm and the left and right margin to 20mm. Text, figures, tables and references must be contained in a 170mm by 237mm area. All text must be in two-column format with 5mm column separation. The paper should not exceed four pages in length. Please do not put page numbers on your paper.
  3. Typesetting
     The text should be written with a font size of 10pt unless specified otherwise. Times New Roman font is recommended for consistency and readability both on screen and in print. Please do not use Asian fonts as this will make your manuscript unreadable for reviewers.
  4. Title, Authors and Affiliations
     The title of the paper appears on the first page, centered over both columns and is set in 14pt bold letters. The author names appear below the title in 12pt. The affiliations should be given below the author names in 10pt and contain full mailing address and email address.
  5. Abstract
     The paper should start with an abstract giving a short overview on the discussed matter and the presented results.
  6. Section Headings
     1. Typesetting
        Section and subsection headings should appear in 10pt bold face, while subsubsection headings in 10pt italic face. The first letter of each major word must be capitalized.
     2. Alignment
        All the headings should be aligned left.
     3. Numbering
        Section, subsection and subsubsection headings should be numbered with Arabic numerals.
  7. Equations
     Equations are centered and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in parentheses as follows:

     f ( x ) = x ² + ax + b (1)

  8. References
     A list of references should appear at the end of the paper. Number all references consecutively with Arabic numerals in square brackets as follows:

     [1] E.N.Lorenz, "Deterministic non-periodic flow," J. Atoms. Sci., vol.20, pp.130-141, 1963.

• Creating PDF files

• 1. Software
     As mentioned above, only electronic submission of papers in PDF format is accepted. There are several methods for creating PDF files: Adobe Distiller, PDFWriter, ps2pdf, dvipdfm, pdflatex, and so on. Generally Adobe Distiller provides higher quality output than others, and is therefore preferred.
  2. Embedding Fonts

     All fonts must be embedded into the PDF file of your paper including the following standard 14 fonts:

     Courier
     Courier, Italic
     Courier, Bold
     Courier, Bold Italic
     Arial MT
     Arial MT, Italic
     Arial MT, Bold
     Arial MT, Bold Italic
     Times New Roman PS MT
     Times New Roman PS MT, Italic
     Times New Roman PS MT, Bold
     Times New Roman PS MT, Bold Italic
     Symbol
     ZapfDingbats

     that come with Acrobat Reader, so that the file can be viewed correctly on any computer. The method of embedding fonts is different on various systems and PDF creation mechanisms; for example, in Adobe Distiller, choose Job Options and check Embed All Fonts. For authors using other software, please refer to your own help sources.

     Before submission, please make sure that all fonts are embedded into the PDF file you have created. To view the font information for a PDF, open the file in an Acrobat Reader, go to the File menu, select Document Info, and then Fonts. The Font Info dialog box displays font information. If Used Font column is set to Embedded or Embedded Subset, it means that the font is correctly embedded.

  3. File Protection
     Please do neither password protect nor encrypt your PDF file so that we can insert headings and page numbers.
