 Titles should be simple and concise. Begin the first word with a capital letter; thereafter capitalize only proper or trade names and chemical symbols. (font size - 14, bold)

B. Author(s) name(s)

Upper case letters only for the initials and the first letter of the family name. (font size - 12, bold). Type* symbol at the end of the family name of the principal author. Type1,2,3 etc in superscripts at the end of the family names of multiple authors, if any.

C. Author(s) affiliation(s)

Write the names and postal addresses of all institutions in full. (font size - 12, normal). Use1,2,3 etc in superscripts if relevant.

D. Abstract

The abstract should be less than 250 words and be completely self-contained. (font size - 12, normal). However, the total length of the abstract, including the name and addresses, should be limited to a single page.

Preparation of the full paper:

     Follow the above instructions for sections A, B and C.

D. Abstract

The abstract should be less than 250 words and be completely self-contained. (font size - 11, normal).

E. Main body of the paper

The body of the paper (text and math font size - 12, normal) should be divided into sections with the use of section headings and subheadings. The total length of the paper, including diagrams and tables, should be a maximum of five pages.

1. PRINCIPAL HEADING

Left-justified heading, all capital letters, preceded by a Roman numeral and a period. (font size - 12, bold).

      1.1 First Subheading

  Left-justified heading capitalize only the first letter of each word. Use 1.1, 1.2 etc to number subheadings (font size - 12, bold).

1.1.1 Second subheading

Left-justified heading, capitalize only first letter of first word. Use 1.1.1, 1.1.2 etc to number second subheadings (font size - 12, bold).

2. Reference, figure, and table numbering

In the body of the paper all references, figures, and tables must be cited consecutively in numerical order. Tables and Figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, etc.) Use (a), (b), (c), etc., to label the parts of figures. (font size - 11, normal)

3. Equation numbering

Equations that are important, long, complex, or referenced later in the paper are set off from the text (displayed) and may be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers within parentheses (1), (2), (3), etc. These numbers are placed to the extreme right of the equation.

F. Acknowledgements

The acknowledgement section follows the main body of the paper. One paragraph is suggested, with acknowledgement of financial support listed at the end. A principal heading is used for this section, but the section is not numbered.
