INSTRUCTION TO THE
AUTHORS

Original research
papers connecting various fields of science and technology, both basic and
applied, are accepted if found suitable by the peer reviewers and the Editorial
Board. It is presumed that the articles submitted for publication to the
Journal have not been previously published nor under active consideration in
any other journal. This must be certified by the corresponding author of the
articles.

Manuscripts of
