Note : Please do not use local font such as Chinese, Russian, Japanese etc. in the text or figures as readers who do not have them on the computer will be unable to read the file.

TEXT

Clear differentiation should be made between the headings of sections, subsections. etc. All Sectional Headings should be in capital letters and on a separate line. Sub-headings should be in title case and again on a separate line. Authors are requested to submit their papers using SI units.

Figures should be appropriately sized so that they fit within the column. Only special cases, it may be formatted in single column mode. Figures should be placed within the text as close to their mention as possible. All figures and illustrations should be in black and white. Authors should avoid colour images or photographs, as they will not be reproduced well in prints. On graphs, show only the coordinate axes, or at most the major grid lines, to preclude a dense hard-to-read effect.
