presented in the manuscript, in 3rd person. Abstract should be

Text

Sufficient details must be given to enable the interdisciplinary
audience of the journal to understand the considered
problem and the methods. This includes a brief explanation of basic concepts, abbreviations and symbols, and, if available, a
reference to a standard textbook. The problem of interest should be
described clearly and explicitly. Methods which are of some
general character should be emphasized. New methods or
theoretical results should be given with an appropriate reasoning
or derivation. Applications of methods are welcome. Appropriate
real data, simulation or numerical results should be given to illustrate
the main results. If possible, use standard headings: Introduction,
Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. The headings should be placed on separate lines and written in capitals with no underlining. Avoid unnecessary
subheadings. In the text do not underline words, do not use letters in
bold type.

Page Numbering

Pages in the manuscript should be numbered in Arabic numerals starting with the cover page.
