Abstracts must be typed in two columns (10 mm between columns), each fitting inside the margins fully justified. For all text we recommend 10-point Times New Roman typeface. Double space between paragraph.

The margins of this template except the middle margin are 20 mm.

Position the title on the top of the first page so that it is centered. For the title we recommend 14-point Times New Roman typeface. Title should be in boldface letters, followed by the authors names and their affiliations as above. The corresponding author must indicate the e-mail address.

For all headings Arabic numbers must be used, justified with the left-hand margin of the column. For subheadings, we recommend 10-point Times New Roman typeface boldface and italic.

List and number all bibliographical references at the end of the paper. When referring to them in the text, place the reference number in square brackets [1] as presented below.

2.1. Illustrations

The figures can be both in color and in black and white. Scanned images should have at least a 300 dpi resolution. A figure wider than a single column should not be reduced to fit; use two columns instead, preferably at the bottom of the page. Refer to figures as Figure in the text and number them consecutively as presented below. Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Centre captions preferably directly below the figure being described. The caption should be in 10-point Times New Roman typeface with italic letters.

2.2. Tables

A table wider than a single column should not be reduced to fit; use two columns instead, preferably at the bottom of the page. Centre table captions above the table as presented below.
