Abstract
These instructions provide you with guidelines for preparing your “article” for the
Second Iran Membrane Conference. The abstract should state briefly the purpose
of the research, the principal results and major conclusions and should be between
150-200 words. An abstract is often presented separately from the article, so it
must be able to stand alone. For this reason, References and footnotes should be
avoided.

Introduction
This document is a template for Microsoft Word versions 2013 or later. The text should be in
single-column and single-spaced format in A4 paper. The paper length should be 5 pages for Oral
and 3-5 pages for poster (including tables and figures). Graphs and tables should be clearly
enough embedded in the text and be center justified. Your paper should be consist of Abstract,
Introduction, Result and discussion, Conclusion and References similar to following instruction.

Instructions
2.1 Margin
The pull-down style menu is at the right side of the Home Toolbar at the top of your Word
The Second Iran Membrane Conference

window. Highlight a section that you want to designate with a certain style, and then select the
appropriate name on the style menu. The style will adjust your fonts and line spacing. Do not
change the font sizes or line spacing to squeeze more text into a limited number of pages. Use
italics for emphasis; do not underline.
2.2 Type-style and fonts
Times New Roman is specified. If it is not available on your word processor, please use the
font closest in appearance to Times New Roman.
TITLE should be in Times New Roman 18-point, boldface type. Capitalize the first letter of
nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate
conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such words). Leave 1 line Space after
the title.
AUTHOR NAME(s) should be in Times New Roman 18-point, boldface type. Please specified
corresponding author with *. Corresponding author address are to be centered beneath the author
name(s) and printed in Times New Roman 10-point, italic type.
ABSTRACT should be in Times New Roman 12-point.
MAIN TEXT is to be in a single-column format. Type the main text in 12-point Times New
Roman, single-spaced. Do NOT use double-spacing. Make sure your text is fully justified. Please
do not place any additional blank lines between paragraphs.

Figures and Tables
Because the conference will not do the final formatting of your papers, you need to place
figures and tables in the paper accordingly.
It should be noted that all your tables & figures must be put in center & embedded in the text.
Don’t forget to put the captions of figures under & tables over them. All of them should be
numbered. See the following examples:

Units
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are strongly encouraged.). For
example, write “15 Kg/cm2.” An exception is when English units are used as identifiers in trade,
such as “3½ in disk drive.” Avoid combining SI and CGS units. This often leads to confusion
because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the
units for each quantity in an equation. Use the center dot to separate compound units, e.g.,
“Kg·m2.”
5
Math and equations
If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the Math Type add-on
(http://www.mathtype.com) for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New | Microsoft
Equation or Math Type Equation). “Float over text” should not be selected.
All of them should be numbered consecutively in parentheses flush with the right margin, like
the format of the example (Times New Roman 12 pt.).
(1)
𝑃𝑉 = 𝑛𝑅𝑇
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or
immediately following. Refer to “Eq.(1),” not “(1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of
a sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”
6
Results and Discussions
Results should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the
work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid
extensive citations and discussion of published literature (Times New Roman 12pt.).

Conclusion
A conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate the abstract as the
conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications
and extensions.
Acknowledgment
Sponsor and financial support acknowledgments are placed in this section.
References
Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the text [1]. In sentences, refer
simply to the reference number, as in [2]. Do not use “Ref. [2]” or “reference [2]” except at the
