Abstract

Insert your text here (times new roman, 10, Italic). An abstract of about 150 -300 words should be included and be as informative as possible, avoiding any experimental details or detailed values presentation. The abstract should not contain tables, figures, references, and sentences of the introduction. The abstract should briefly state the purpose of the research, the principal results and major conclusions. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.

 

Keywords: A maximum of 5 meaningful keywords separated by a comma should be listed, preferably in alphabetical order, avoiding abbreviations and using keywords of a maximum of three words. Please use American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, ‘and’, ‘of’). Be sparing with abbreviations: only abbreviations firmly established in the field may be eligible. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.

 

  1. Introduction

Insert your introduction here (times new roman, 10). Introduction is the state the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results. Manuscripts should be divided into sections (and subsections by headingsI, II, III: times new roman, 10, G, and subheadings A, B, C: times new roman, 10, G.

Footnotes to the text are to be avoided. In the text, sections, tables, figures, and equations are to be referred as abbreviated Sect. x, Tab. x, Fig. x, and Eq. (x), respectively.

Please use italic symbols for variables and constants (e.g., p, V, n, R, T), bold Latin symbols for vectors and matrices, and roman type for mathematical expressions (e.g., log, ln, tan, exp). Please do not use one variable for different definitions.

Symbols used to represent variables, constants, quantities, properties, etc. must be defined in the text at their first occurrence. Please use exponents and not slashes within units, e.g., g L–1h–1. Only SI quantities and units are to be used. If data with non-SI units have to be reported, they should be put in parentheses behind the corresponding data with SI units. In addition, a list of all symbols and abbreviations used must be compiled at the end of the text under the heading “Symbols used”.

Use the equation editor (Microsoft Equation Editor 3.0 or Math type 6.0) for equations and have to be numerated in ascending order with Arabic numerals in parentheses.

Figures: Either incorporate the figures into the text or indicate their place in the text. Figures should be clear and the lettering legible and proportional to the size of the figure so that reduction is possible if necessary. Figures will appear in color online and in the final PDF once the paper has been accepted.

 

  1. 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.

 

  • Theoretical package

A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.

 

  1. Results and discussion

Results should be clear and concise.

Discussion 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.

 

  1. 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.

 

  1. Abbreviations

Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.

 

  1. Acknowledgment:

Acknowledgments of financial support, advice, or other kinds of assistance should be made at the end of the paper under the heading “Acknowledgment”. Please do not use any abbreviation!

 

  1. Nomenclature and units

Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI.

  1. Math formula

Please submit math equations as editable text and not as images. Present simple formulae in line with normal text where possible and use the solidus (/) instead of a horizontal line for small fractional terms, e.g., X/Y. In principle, variables are to be presented in italics. Powers of e are often more conveniently denoted by exp. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).

 

Figures, photos, illustrations, and graphs should be referred to in the text as figures and numbered consecutively throughout the paper by Arabic numerals.

Figures should be sent as TIF, JPG, GIF or EPS files with highest resolution possible (at least 300 dpi).

 

Figure Legends: The figure legend (beginning with, e.g., “Figure 5. Title”, times new roman, 8) must explain in detail the contents of the figure and – as the figure itself – must be comprehensible without reference to the text.

 

Tables: Tables should be cited in numerical order in the text using Arabic numbers. The table headings should be as follows: Table 1, 2, 3. Title (times new roman, 8). Each table should have a descriptive title.

 

List of symbols: A list of symbols is required if equations are used.

 

References: References must be identified by Arabic numerals (e.g. 1, 2 etc.), numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text (between square brackets[ ]) and listed at the end of paper.
