INFORMATION FOR PRESENTING AUTHORS

AUTHOR INFO

Papers will be allowed approximately 20 minutes for invited papers and 15 for contributed under normal circumstances. Authors requiring more time need to contact the Conference Director, Dr. Mittal (Tel. 845-897-1654, Fax 845-897-2361, E-mail: klm@mstconf.com), to make appropriate arrangements. Facilities for using overhead transparencies and 35mm slides will be provided.

POWERPOINT

A digital projector will be available for those authors who want to present slides using POWERPOINT or similar computer generated presentation. It is assumed that the author will provide his or her own laptop or notebook computer to be hooked to the projector. MST will provide a computer supporting POWER POINT presentations for those who do not bring their own machine, however, a disk copy (1.42 Mb 3.5 inch or 100 Mb ZIP disk) must be provided 4 WEEKS in advance to Dr. Lacombe at the address below in order to insure software compatibility. Although we do not anticipate problems, we also strongly recommend that each author have a set of transparencies or 35mm slides as a backup in case of technical difficulties with the digital projector.

MANUSCRIPT

Please note that presenting authors should have a manuscript prepared for inclusion in the Proceedings Volume which will be edited by the Conference Director Dr. Mittal Editor Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology (JAST). The manuscript should be handed to Dr. Mittal at the time of the meeting. There is no hard limit on the number of pages allowed however the manuscript should not contain unnecessary redundancies. Authors should follow the style recommendations given on the back page of each issue of JAST. The main requirements are for the use of a 12 pitch font with double spacing. All figures and tables should be clearly labeled and careful attention given to the references to be sure they are correct. Please avoid referring to obscure publications which are not generally available in the scientific literature.
