Indicate references by sequential numbers in square brackets, e.g., [1], [2-3], and give their bibliographic information as a list at the end of the manuscript. 

2. FIGURES, TABLES AND EQUATIONS
2.1. Figures and tables (Second level heading: 11 pt, boldface)
	Figures and tables are to be numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals and are to be referred to in the text as Fig. 1, Figs. 2 and 3, Figs. 3(a) to 3(d), Table 2, Tables 3 and 4, etc. They must be placed at appropriate places and should have a self-explanatory caption, which is to placed below the figure, or above the table.

Micrographs in figures must have a scale within themselves.

2.2. Symbols and equations
	Mathematical elements are to follow academic conventions: variables in Italic (pV = RT), lowercase Greek symbols too, but common function names and derivative symbols not (2d sin = n, J = D dc/dx), vectors in upright boldface, and matrices in upright, plain style of a sans serif font such as Helvetica or Arial (J =  D c). Uppercase Greek letters should always appear in upright form (, ). 
	Displayed equations are to be centred, with a blank line both above and below, and accompanied by the equation number in parenthesis placed in the same line, right flush: 

		(1)

Equations are to be referred to as, e.g., Eq. 1, Eqs. 2 and 3, in the text. All equations should be numbered, even if it is not quoted in the text. Use the same font, the same size and the same style for a particular symbol in equations as in the text. 
	Note that Greek lowercase symbols used for phase labels, e.g, , , , are not mathematical elements and thus are not to be slanted.
