Font and line spacing:         imes New Roman; single space

  Title:                                   Capital letters, size 14, bold, centered at one column

  Authors Names:                 Size 10, centered at one column, two lines interval from title above

  Authors affiliation:              Size 10, centered at one column, two lines interval from text below

  Main Text:                          Size 12, full justification at one column, 6 pt space after paragraph, no indentation

  Headings:                          Capital letters, size 12, bold, one line interval from text above

  Legends (Figs & Tables):     Size 10

References:                          References to cited literature should be identified in the text with author(s) name(s) and year of publication (ex: Mascarenhas, 1997).  Full citations should be grouped at the end of the paper and in alphabetical order of first author’s name. Always give inclusive page numbers for references to journal articles and a page range for books.  Each reference must be cited in the text.
