The abstract body should not exceed 300 words and 28 should contain only one paragraph clearly representing objective, materials and 29 methods, results, and conclusions. 30 31 Key words: Keyword_1, Keyword_2, Keyword_3, Keyword_4, Keyword_5 32 2 33 34 35 INTRODUCTION Type introduction of your paper. Each manuscript should be organized in the order; title 36 page, abstract page, text, acknowledgments, references, figure captions, figures, and tables. 37 The entire manuscript should be typewritten on A4 size with double spacing using Times New 38 Roman of 12 point font. Do not right-justify type. Margins should be 2.5 cm at the top, sides 39 and foot of each page. Each page should be numbered at the center of the bottom starting with 40 the title page. 41 42 MATERIALS AND METHODS. 43 Materials and methods text of your paper goes here. Authors should be as concise as 44 possible in experimental descriptions. 45 46 RESULTS 47 The resulted data should be well presented by the form of schemes, figures, 48 graphs, tables, reactions and equations. These items should be numbered clearly. 49 References are cited in the text by the name of the author and the year of 50 publication, e.g., Sato and Kizaki (1972). For references with more than two 51 authors, use ‘‘et al." as in White et al. (1992). Citations in parentheses must 52 include a comma, e.g. (White et al., 1992). Full references should be listed 53 alphabetically by author at the end of the paper in the form: surname of the 54 author followed by a comma and the initials, year of publication in parentheses, 55 full name of the journal, volume number, first and last page numbers. Use italic 56 for the full name of journals andbold for the volume numbers. 57 3 58 59 60 DISCUSSION Chapter The text should include: introduction, materials and methods, results, 61 discussion, and conclusions. Second-order headings should be in lowercase letters, 62 italicized, and placed at the left-hand margin of the page. Third-order headings 63 are italicized, placed at the beginning of the paragraph but without an indent, 64 and followed by a period. 65 66 67 68 CONCLUSIONS The conclusions section should come at the end of article, before the acknowledgements. 69 70 ACKNOWLEDGMENT 71 The acknowledgements come at the end of an article after the conclusions and 72 before the notes and references. 73 74 REFERENCES 75 Brindley, G.W.

Figures should be drawn on a white background in black ink. Lines, symbols, and letterings should be drawn enough to allow for proper reduction. Times New Roman and Helvetica, or equivalent typefaces, must be used for the lettering on the figures. In tables, Times New Roman typefaces should be used. Tables should be prepared in Microsoft Word (or Excel). Do not paste drawings or graphics into a Word file. All figures and tables are to be numbered using Arabic numerals (Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Table 1, Table 2, etc.), and should always be cited in the text as, e.g., Fig. 1, Figs 2 and 3, Table 1, Tables 2 and 3 or, if starting a sentence, Figure 1.
