Manuscript Body
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2 ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing. The body of all manuscripts should include the following sections:
1.0    Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
2.0    Material and methods
This section should be sufficiently detailed to allow the work to be reproduced by an independent researcher. Methods that are already published should be summarized and referenced. If the method is extracted directly from an already published work, it should be inscribed in a quotation marks and the source should be cited. Any modifications to existing methods should also be described.
3.0    Theory/calculation (Optional)
A Theory section should be an extension of the background to the article already layout in the Introduction and therefore, lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
4.0    Results and Discussion
Discussion should elaborate the significance of the results of the work, and not repetition of them. However, extensive citations and discussion of published literature should be avoided except where necessary

The main conclusions of the study should be short with itemized points in roman numerals.
