All papers must be sent in Word format. Papers should be formatted with single columns and should be single-spaced, 10.5 point Times New Roman font. Also, do not change the margins as they have been set in the template: Top-2.54 cm, Right-2.54 cm, Bottom-2.54 cm, Left-2.54 cm. Text should be justified. Do not add any headings or footers to your document. Papers must be provided in Microsoft Word (.doc) format and cannot be larger than 25 MB each.

2 Body

The text should contain Methods, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion sections

2.1 Figures and photographs

Figures should be numbered and should have a caption which should always be positioned under the figures. The final sentence of a caption should end without a period. Line drawings should have a resolution of at least 1200 dpi. For digital halftones 300 dpi is usually sufficient. If you cannot provide your figures electronically, paste originals into the manuscript and center them between the margins. Every single figure (except a photograph) is often reduced to 5 cm (High)×7 cm (Width). The final thickness of a line in a figure usually lies within the range 0.15-0.20 mm. When preparing the figures, authors should pay attention to the widths of lines and similar details, as some (e.g. dotted or thin lines) may disappear after reduction. Particular attention should be paid to line strengths in graphics prepared in vector formats. The Fig. 1 is an example.

Fig. 1 This shows a figure consisting of different types of lines. The last sentence of a figure caption should generally end without a period

2.2 Tables

Headings should be capitalized the first word and should, with the exception of the title, be aligned to the left. Words joined by a hyphen are subject to a special rule. If the first word can stand alone, the second word should be capitalized. The font sizes are given in Table 1.

Displayed equations or formulas are centered and set on a separate line. Displayed expressions should be numbered for reference. The numbers should be consecutive within the contribution, with numbers enclosed in parentheses and set on the right margin. For example, x + y = z (1)
