This section should provide the reader with all the information necessary to repeat the work.

Statistical analysis of the data (where applicable) is mandatory, using appropriate methods, which must be cited.
The preferred organization of the full paper is as follows:
Title
Authors name and affiliation
Abstract
Introduction
Materials and Methods
Results or Results and Discussions (often preferred)
Discussions
Conclusion
Acknowledgments
References
Figures
Figures should be presented in the order as mentioned in the text and labeled in consecutive Arabic numerals [Fig. 1]. The final size of figures should be fitted within page margin. Figures should be placed into the text appropriately and with the position and wrap text, “In line with text”.
Figures with several parts should be in proportion, with consistently sized lettering so that the whole figure can be reduced by the same amount to the smallest size at which the essential details are visible.
The following resolutions are optimal: black & white line figures- 600 dpi; photographs- 300 dpi; screen dumps- leave as is. We encouraged preparing the figures as EPS or TIFF format; but you can also use high quality BMP or JPG format.
Tables
Tables should be typed in the text appropriately, numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals like Table 1, Table 2 etc. and fitted within page margin.
All lettering should be done using standard fonts, Times New Roman, Font size 10, normal.
Tables should be self-explanatory and include a brief descriptive title. Footnotes to tables indicated by lower-case superscript letters are acceptable, but they should not include extensive experimental detail. Do not fit the table in text as figure.
Unit
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units (SI units are strongly encouraged).
Equations
Number the equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses, as in
(1)
Refer to “Eq. (1)” except at the beginning of a sentence: like “Equation [1] is ... …”
