The abstract should include a concise statement of objectives and a summary of important results. A good abstract should have only one paragraph, typed in single column. Moreover, it must be placed and fitted in the first page of a manuscript.

1. Introduction (Times New Roman # 14, Bold)

(Times New Roman # 12)
2. Style and Format
2.1 General
Manuscripts are typed single space except for headings. Font type should mimic Times New Roman #12 (shown here). Full justification is recommended. Please do not use any endnotes or footnotes. A page numbers is prohibited.
Type your manuscripts on A4 (21 cm x 29.7 cm) sheets. The manuscripts must also be typed in the correct two-column width as shown in this paper. The sheet should be divided into a two-column width of 81 mm with a space between columns of 6 mm (a total width of 168 mm). This permits side margin of 21 mm each. The top and bottom margins should be 29 mm.
2.2 Title Block
The title should appear in upper and lower case without underlining, centered across columns. Type the author’s name and affiliation also in upper and lower case letters centered under the title. In case of multi-authorship, group the authors and identify each author by superscript numbers corresponding to the organization which should be grouped below authors. The asterisk should be marked as the superscript after a corresponding author’s name, while the presenter’s name should be underlined.
2.3 Headings and Subheadings
Headings and subheadings are in upper and lower case bold letter without underlining, if applicable. They should be typed in Time New Roman size 12, bold. They should appear with sequential numbers, left-hand justified in the column. A blank line should be used to separate paragraphs when each section is finished.
2.4 Equations
Equations are to be numbered consecutively throughout the text. The equation number should be placed in parenthesis and flushed with the right-hand margin of the column. Italic alphabets are recommended for equation parameters.
A+b-c (1)
Leave a blank line before and after equations. A long equation should appear across the columns by interrupting the opposite column with column-termination and column-initiation bars.
2.5 Citations
Citations within the text must be based on APA style. For example;
