Abstract— A required 50-100 word abstract starts on this line. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. Use 11 point Times New Roman here and single spacing

Keywords—nanoparticle, bacteria, silver, enviromental (maximum 6 key words)

I.  Introduction (Heading 1)

State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them.

II. Material and methods

Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications should be described.

Keep your text and graphic files separate until after the text has been formatted and styled. Do not use hard tabs, and limit use of hard returns to only one return at the end of a paragraph. Do not add any kind of pagination anywhere in the paper. Do not number text heads-the template will do that for you.

III.  RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Results should be clear and concise. This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.

A.  Abbreviations and Acronyms

Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page.

B.  Units

·  SI units are encouraged. English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch disk drive”.

·  Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.

C.  Equations

The equation is centered using a center tab stop. Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before or immediately following the equation. Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers, within parentheses, are to position flush right, as in (1), using a right tab stop. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in:

a + b = g (1)

After the text edit has been completed, the paper is ready for the template. Duplicate the template file by using the Save As command, and use the naming convention prescribed by your conference for the name of your paper. In this newly created file, highlight all of the contents and import your prepared text file. You are now ready to style your paper; use the scroll down window on the left of the MS Word Formatting toolbar.

D.  Figures and Tables

a)  Figure captions Ensure that each illustration has a caption.. Use the abbreviation “Fig. 1”, even at the beginning of a sentence. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and abbreviations used. Insert figures and tables after they are cited in the text. Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels.

a)  Tables . Please submit tables as editable text and not as images.Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Please avoid using vertical rules and shading in table cells

IV.  Conclusions

The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
