paper size. If you are using US letter-sized paper, please close
this file and download the file for “MSW_USltr_format”.  Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units
are encouraged.) English units may be used as
secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would
be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such
as “3.5-inch disk drive”.
 Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in
amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often
leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly
state the units for each quantity that you use in an
equation.

Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined The template is designed so that author affiliations are not
