equations, illustrations, figures and tables. The body of the text should be prepared
using Times New Roman font. The text shall have both the left and right margins
justified.

parenthesis. Author should use Microsoft Equation (Insert | Object | Create New |
Microsoft Equation).

The equation must be separated by one blank line and as Equation (1) below.


Fxfl cos   Fyfl sin   Fxfr cos   Fyfr sin   Fxrl  Fxrr  m Vx  V y  Z s  (1)

Where:

Fxfl cos  = cosine wave

This text is separated from the equation by one line spacing.

Cychild 1  (1  a)Cxchild  aCychild (2)

Where a represents random number in the range of 0 and 1.

4.0 UNIT

SI units must be used throughout the manuscript.

5.0 TABLES

Tables must be numbered consecutively along with a brief title. The number of the
table should be cited in the text before presenting the tables. Vertical rules should
