%---Content of Paper Abstract-----------------------
\begin{paper}

\begin{piersabstract}
The abstract should summarize the approach and the article's major contributions,
emphasizing the importance and significance of the results. The
abstract should not contain literature citations, or allusions to
the illustrations. Define all nonstandard symbols and abbreviations.
Use running text only and avoid equations. Do not include tables,
figures, and footnotes.
\end{piersabstract}

%---Content of Paper Text-----------------------
The main body of the article should start with an {\bf introductory
paragraph}, in which presents a brief review of past contributions
relevant to this article with proper cited reference to be listed in
the reference section at the end of the article. Equations, figures,
tables and references should follow a sequential numerical scheme in
order to ensure a logical development of subject matter.

\medskip

For {\bf equations},
\begin{equation}
\nabla \times \overline E(\overline r,t)=-\frac{\partial \overline
B(\overline r,t)}{\partial t}
\label{eq1}
\end{equation}

\medskip

{\bf Figures and Tables}: Give each figure and table a separate
concise caption. It begins with Figure or Table, followed by the
appropriate Arabic numeral and period. The maximum width of figure
or table may not exceed 17 cm. Make symbols, line thickness, and
lettering in proper scale in relation to the overall figure size.
For best publishing quality, we recommend the EPS format for
figures. {\it If paper is submitted in PDF format, for high quality
of figures, please also submit the original figure files.}

\medskip

{\bf Acknowledgements}, if any, including all funding information,
should be gathered into a brief statement at the end.
