should not be placed between paragraphs of the same section.
However, a spacing of one line is required between the last
paragraph of a section and the heading of the following
section.
3.3 Section headings
The main headings will be Introduction, 1. Experimental, 2.
Results,
3.
Discussion,
Conclusions,
(Appendix),
(Acknowledgment), Nomenclature, Literature Cited. Leave a
blank line above and below each main heading. All headings
should be flushed to the left. The third level subdivision of
heading is acceptable. Fourth level or higher subdivision
should be avoided.
3.4 Equations, tables and figures etc.
i) Equations: Number equations in order with parentheses.
Cite as Eq. (1), Eqs. (3) and (5). Spell out “Equation” at
the beginning of a sentence. Equation should be flushed
left. And equation numbers should be enclosed in
parentheses and flushed right as in the following example.

Dv
 p   2  g
Dt
(1)
The size of the character in equations is almost the same as
that in the main text. Be sure that the symbols in the
equation have been defined before or just after the
equation.
ii) Figures and Tables: Include figures and tables in the most
appropriate places within the main text. Do not place them
on separate pages. Each figure and table must have a
caption. Cite as Figure 1, Figures 2 and 3, Table 1.

Fig. 2 Experimentally obtained mean diameter as function of
nondimensional time obtained by dividing by mean residence time:
rotational speed of impeller 300 rpm: mean residence time 20.0 min.
iii) Literature: Cite in the text as follows:
Carslaw and Jaeger1), Tan and Liou2), 3), or insert
superscript numbers at an appropriate place in a
sentence4).
iv) Units: The use of SI units is recommended.
Examples: k [W/(m·K)] or k [W·m–1·K–1], k = 0.58
W/(m·K) or k = 0.58 W·m–1·K–1.
v) Symbols: Normal main text should be written in Roman.
Quantifiers should be written in Italic, while simple symbols
should be written in Roman.
Ex) DAB [m2/s]
4. Submission of the revised contribution
After the review process, you may get referee's comments
requiring revision of the paper. In that case, you have to send
a reply paper to the comments, along with your revised paper
in PDF format. Revised paper should be written in such a way
that the revised parts are clear. If the revised parts are not
clear, the editor might demand resubmission.
5. Publication
After the paper is accepted for publication, you should send
the final version immediately to the Editorial Office. It
usually takes two weeks before the paper is published on the
web (early publication).You can make a minor revision during
early publication.
Nomenclature
List symbols in alphabetical order with their definition
and SI units. Greek letters, subscripts and superscripts should
follow Roman symbols.
References
Arrange in order of superscript numbers. Authors are
responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all
references. Authors should check all parts of each reference
listing against the original document. Important note for
authors citing articles written in Japanese. The Memoir
requests authors to use only romanized text in Journal articles.
If the cited work has an official English translation, authors
are requested to use that translation. However, if the cited
work does not have an official translation, authors are
requested to translate the information into English and
provide both English and romanized Japanese.
Citation of works in Japanese should be provided by authors
as follows:
For references that have an official English translation, the
English should be used directly. For references that do not
have an official English translation, authors are requested to
i) write the journal title in romanized text (e.g. Kagaku
Kogaku Ronbunshu), ii) for the case of books or patents,
translate the title into English and provide both English and
romanized Japanese, and iii) translate the article’s title into
English and include the phrase (in Japanese) just after the
title.
