Abstracts should be carefully prepared, in final form, with no grammatical, typographical, or factual errors. The abstract text section is limited to 250 words. Each new paragraph should be spaced and left-aligned. All letters in the title should be capitalized and in bold. The authors name should follow on a separate line. List first names followed by family names and separate each author with a comma. Underline the presenting author. In cases of multiple authors with different affiliations, use superscript numbers to distinguish between research organizations.
