The string length — 14 cm, height — 20 cm, font colour — black, formula numbering — on the right side in brackets, all unitsare given in SI. Italics, bold italics, bold line also may be used. The author should avoid text layout using commands \break, \newline, etc. It should be remembered that the commands \cal and \over are outdated. Instead of them such commands like \mathcal and \frac may be used.

2.3. In the abstract you should avoid using formulae if possible. If it is necessary, you should use only the most simple formulae writable as a plain text, like letters or expression of the form “5 sin(x) = exp(2 x + 1)”. You must not make citations to the references from the bibliography.

2.4. Tables should be prepared using standard environment table. Figures should be included with LATEX2e tools. Besides, figures must be submitted to editorial board as separate files. Tables and figuresare numbered in Arabic numerals, continuous numbering. If the table is one, it’s not numbered. It’s possible to include names of the tables and captions under the figures. In that case all tables must have names and all figures — captures. Reference to the table (figure) is required.
