Technical Notes.
TECHNICAL NOTES are short manuscripts describing new developments or important results of a preliminary nature. These Notes cannot exceed 6 manuscript pages and 3 figures; a page of text may be substituted for a figure and vice versa. After informal review by the editors, they may
be published within a few months of the date of receipt. Style requirements are the same as for regular contributions (see inside back cover).
