Main Text:

Time New Roman, 11 points, regular, single line spacing

Time New Roman, 12 points, regular, 1.5 line spacing

Units and Equations

Use SI units only. Equations should be typed using MS Equation Editor. In the text equation
should be referred to as Eq.(1). Align left each equation and allow single line spacing above
and below, as:
cos _ + cos _ = 2 cos __ + __ cos __ __

Tables, Figures and Photographs

Briefly and descriptively title each table and caption each figure (Time New Roman, 11
points, regular). Place table title above the table and figure caption below the figure. Each
table and figure should be referred to in the text (e.g., Fig. 1, Table 1); and placed in the order
referred to and as close as possible to the first reference in the text. Allow single spacing
between the table or figure and the adjacent text, and no space between the table title and
table (or figure caption and the figure). Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively
with single Arabic numerals.
