1. Introduction
In preparing a manuscript, authors are solely responsible for the quality and appearance of the
final product. Please follow these guidelines carefully and accurately. If any questions or
special problems arise, feel free to contact the organiser.
2. Specific instructions
Text should be typed at single spacing in Times New Roman or similar typeface,
12 point and fully justified. Plain white A4 paper should be used with margins of

reader is familiar with specific national institutions or corporations. Acronyms should be
translated in full into English..
2.2 Format
2.2.1 Title
The title should emphasise the objective of the paper. Avoid excessive length. The title should
be in 14 point bold, centred on the width of the opening page and spaced 30 mm from the top
of the page. All words except for short connectives should have a capital initial.
2.2.2 Authors
Names of authors should be centred on the second line below the title. The name(s) should be
shown as first name, middle initial, and last name or first initial, middle name, and last name,
as preferred. Only the first letter of names should be capitalised.

If there is more than one author, separate the authors by organisation and address:
Please include e-mail address for all authors and include telephone, telefax for principal
author only. Departments, Affiliations, Cities and Countries should be translated in full into
English, e.g., Radiography Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, University of Lyon, Lyon,
France.
2.2.3 Abstract
The abstract begins on the third line below the authors' names and addresses, as described
above. The abstract should be typed in 10 point and its length in the range of 100 to 150
words. It should mention the techniques used without going into methodological detail and
summarize the most important results. Please do not include any citations in the abstract.
Avoid specialist abbreviations.
2.2.4 Keywords
Keywords should be written in the line below the abstract and should be in lower case (apart
from abbreviations or proper names). Keywords have to be separated by comma. Keywords
shall not include brand names. Keywords to be abbreviated should be given in full, followed
by the acronym or abbreviation in parentheses, e.g., time of flight diffraction (TOFD).
2.2.5 Body
The body of the paper should open with an introduction, which is a brief assessment of prior
work by others, and an explanation of how the paper contributes to the field. The introduction
should briefly describe the extent of the study and techniques employed. The introduction part
of the body should not contain information on results obtained.
After the introduction, the main body of the paper is presented. It is here that the primary
information contained in the paper is located. The author is free to select the format best
suited to the paper. Sections may cover such topics as previous work, experimental methods,
theory, results, discussion, etc. The author should present material succinctly, eliminating
details readily available from other sources.
2.3 Acronyms and abbreviations
Terms to be abbreviated should be given in full the first time they appear, followed by the
acronym or abbreviation in parentheses. Subsequently, the acronym is used. Acronyms should
be used prudently; an excessive number should be avoided.
Please type as much of the mathematical material as possible, with particular care in spacing
and alignment, vertical as well as horizontal. Displayed equations or displayed chemical
formulae (ie, those on their own line) should be in italics and centred with one line of space
above and below. Break multi-line equations before a relation or operation sign, and align the
sign to the right of the equals sign in the first line. Leave one space on each side of a relation
or operation sign. Equation numbers should be typed in parentheses at the right margin using
Arabic numbers. Symbols appearing in the text should be in italics.
Figures should be numbered and captioned, and should be included at appropriate positions
within the text. Leave one line gap above and below figures and tables and do not put text to
the side of them. Captions should be centred on the page. Lettering on line drawings should
be large enough to be clearly legible. If photos are to be included, these should be pasted on
the page in the appropriate position. Please avoid to high resolution photos since these will
increase the file size unnecessary.
2.6 Tables
Tables must be cited in the text and should be included as close to the point of reference as
possible, but tables should not continue from one page to the next unless a table begins at the
beginning of a page (ie, a multi-page table). The table caption, in bold, should always be
centred with the table number above the table. Arabic numbers should be used for table
numbers.
Item Specifications
Table caption defined The table caption, in bold, should always be
centred with the table number above the table.
Arabic numbers should be used for table
numbers. Do not end the table caption with a
full stop.
Table contents Preferred type font is Times New Roman 11
point. Line spacing should be single space with
one additional line of space between paragraphs.
3. Conclusions
Following the body of the report the author should present, in narrative format, conclusions
drawn from the paper. The conclusions should be based on the discussion in the body of the
paper. In addition, it may be valuable to demonstrate the value of the work to the profession.
The conclusions should be written for the general reader. Specific detailed information is
better confined to the body of the paper.
