ABSTRACT

These instructions are written in a form that satisfies all of the formatting requirements for the author manuscript. Please use them as a template in preparing the manuscript. Authors must take special care to follow these instruction concerning margins. The basic instructions are simple such as manuscript shall be formatted for an A4 size paper, the top margin shall be 2.5cm, the bottom, left and right margins shall be 2.0cm, the text shall have both the left and right margins justified. A nonmathematical abstract, not exceeding 250 words, is required for all manuscripts. It should be an abbreviated, accurate presentation of the contents of the manuscript It should contain sufficient information to contents of the manuscript. Do not cite references in the abstract.

Keywords: The author should provide a list of three to five key words that clearly describe the subject matter of the paper. Keywords should be separated by commas.

1. INTRODUCTION

The manuscript should be organized in the following order: Title of the paper, Authors' names and affiliation, Abstract, Key Words, Introduction, Body of the paper (in sequential headings), Conclusion, Acknowledgements (where applicable), References, and Appendices (where applicable). The title is centered on the page and is capitalized and set in boldface (font size 12 pt). It should adequately describe the content of the paper. An abbreviated title of less than 60 characters (including spaces) should also be suggested. The author's name(s) follows the title and is also centered on the page (font size 10 pt). A blank line is required between the title and the author's name (s). Last names should be spelled out in full and succeeded by name (s). The author's affiliation, complete mailing address and e-mail address only for corresponding author (all in font size 10 pt) are provided immediately below the authors’ name. Maximum number of pages should not exceed 6.

The manuscript must be typed single spacing. Use extra line spacing between equations, illustrations, figures and tables. The body of the text should be prepared using Times New Roman. The font size used for preparation of the manuscript must be 10 points. The first paragraph following a heading should not be indented. The Harvard System of references is to be used. In the body of the text a manuscript is to be referred to by the author’s surname with the year of publication in parentheses (Rahman et al., 2008). References should be listed together at the end of the manuscript in alphabetical order by author’s surname. List of references indent 12.7 mm from the second line of each reference. Personal communications and unpublished data are not acceptable as a reference.

2. METHODOLOGY

2.1 Heading

Section headings should be typed / aligned to the left on the page and in capital letters only. The type, fonts and style (Times New Roman 10 point, bold) are respectively. Do not underline section headings. The headings should be numbered.

2.2Subheading

Subheadings should be positioned at the left margin in a bold; font is same size as the main text with single line spacing above and below. The first letter of each word in the subheading should be capitalized subheading should be capitalized.

3. RESULT AND DISCUSSION

3.1Equations and Mathematical Expression

Equation numbers should appear in parentheses and be numbered consecutively. All equation numbers must appear on the right-hand side of the equation and should be referred to within the text. Two different types of styles can be used for equations and mathematical expressions. They are: in-line style, and display style.In-line equations/expressions are embedded in paragraphs of the text. For example, F=ma. In-line equations should not be numbered. Equations in display format are separated from the paragraphs of text. They should be flushed to the centered of the column,

F = ma(1)

Fractional powers should be used instead of root signs. A slash(/) should be used instead of a horizontal line for fractions, whenever possible; for example, use 2/3 for two-thirds. Refer to equations in the text as Eq.(1) or, if at the beginning of sentence, as Equation (1). Vectors should be typed boldface. Do not use arrows, wavy-line underscoring, etc.

3.2Figures and Tables

Figures (diagrams and photographs) should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers. They should be placed in the text soon after the point where they are referenced. Figures should be centered in a column and should have a figure caption placed underneath. Captions should be centered in the column, in the format Figure 1 and are in upper and lower case letters.

Figure 1 Comparison between experimental results and predicted results.

When referring to a figure in the body of the text, the abbreviation Figure is used. Illustrations must be submitted in digital format, with a good resolution. Table captions appear centered above the table. When referring to a table in the text, Table with the proper number is used. Captions should be centered in the column, in the format Table 1 and are in upper and lower case letters. Tables are numbered consecutively and independently of any figures. All figures and tables must be incorporated into the text (in Portrait orientation).

3.3Units

The use of SI unit is strongly recommended and mixed units are to be avoided.

4. CONCLUSION

A conclusion section must be included and should indicate clearly the advantages, limitations and possible applications of the paper. Conclusion should have answered all the objective of the study and extracted from results and discussion.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

An acknowledgement section may be presented after the conclusion, if desired. Individuals or units other than authors who were of direct help in the work could be acknowledged by a brief statement following the text.
