1. Introduction
This document presents instructions for preparing camera-ready abstract for Qualify Examination (QE) of Green Asia program. The set of instructions is given in the style and format to be used by the authors. The abstracts will be printed and bound in the abstracts book on the day of QE.
A three-page camera-ready abstract must be sent to GA office by e-mail () until 12:00, 25th August, 2015 as a “MS-word” or “pdf” document.
2. General Instructions
2.1. Contents
The abstracts should contain three researches in different laboratories (laboratory rotation). Each research should be written about one page with a concise description of the objectives of studies, method of approach, significant results and conclusions.
2.2.Page Format
Prepared abstracts must be camera-ready and in 3 pages. Use A4 size paper. Set the top and bottom margin to 25 mm, and the left and right margins to 20 mm.
Text must be typed clearly in English. At the center top of the first page, the title of the paper, author name and affiliationshould be given.
The main text should be typed single-spaced in the two columns. Place a blank line between the sections. Section and subsection headings, if any, should be bold and italic, respectively.Sections should be numbered as shown in this document. Justify the column at both the right and the left.
2.3. Figures and Tables
Figure captions should be placed below the figures; table captions above the tables. Arabic numerals should be used for figures like Fig. 1, and Roman numerals for tables like Table I.
2.4. Equations
Equations, if any, should appear on a separate line from the text with a blank space above and below. The equation number should appear in parentheses flush with the right margin, as shown below for eq. (1).
y = mx+c. (1)
