   Table 1  A descriptive title should be placed above the table.

   Sample	Velocity, v (m/s)	Density, D (kg/m3)
   Sample A	17.9	1480
   Sample B	16.5	1674

   Special Signs. for example , α γ μ Ω () ≥  ±  should always be written in with the fonts Times New Roman or Arial, especially also in the figures and tables.

   Macros. Do not use any macros for the figures and tables. 

   Language. All text, figures and tables must be in English.

   Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...) also should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough space so that the capt­ion will not be confused with the text. The caption should be self-contained and placed below the figure. Generally, only original drawings or photographic reproductions are acceptable. Only very good photocopies are acceptable. Utmost care must be taken to insert the figures in correct alignment with the text. Half-tone pictures should be in the form of glossy prints. If possible, please include your figures as graphic images in the electronic version. 

   Color figures are welcome for the online version of the journal.

   Equations. Equations (refer with: Eq. 1, Eq. 2, ...) should be indented 5 mm (0.2"). There should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations have to be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text. Equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number. The use of Microsoft Equation is allowed.

   c² = a² + b².                                             (1)
