CORRECTIONS TO PROOFS by bob jantzen October 15, 2005 [your list below is not in chronological order??? so I mixed up the corrections with the article section in my first version] In response to email: Subject: Re: translated Fermi papers for Fermi volume ready From: E H Chionh Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 14:18:00 +0800 Note: The WS Proceedings superscript Footnote style overlooks the fact that most authors forget to put footnotes after punctuation where they belong and to compensate the well know LaTeX style file overcite.sty should be incorporated into the proceedings macros (it automatically switches the order when punctuation is encountered after a footnote). This error occurs in some of the articles below. Similarly the Proceedings title macro forces the text in footnotes to the title to be all lowercase, removing necessary uppercase first letters. This latter problem is the easiest to be fixed. See corrections listed after each article title. ============================================================ 1.
