Text flow: To ease manuscript preparation, some general comments are described here. Paper should not exceed 16 pages in length, including figures and tables. Charts, photographs, graphs, diagrams and tables should be of good quality and sharp. All lettering, graph lines and points on graphs should be sufficiently large. Photos should be put into a text stream using a high resolution scanner. All illustrations should be provided in camera ready form and numbered consecutively. Tables should not duplicate results presented elsewhere in the manuscript, (e.g. in graphs). Equations and complex expressions should be carefully prepared.

Units: The SI system should be used for all scientific and laboratory data. If it is necessary to quote other units, these should be added in parentheses.

Reference: Only reference cited in the text should be listed in the reference section and should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript (list by sequence of appearance). The full reference should be given in a numerical list at the end of the paper. In the text, authors should refer to references by a number in square brackets on the line (e.g. Terdtoon et al [1]). Reference should be given as follows;
