The article is written in clear and Standard English. The reported research meets all applicable ethical standards and research integrity. The submitted manuscripts is screened for plagiarism during the editorial process, Units of Measurement should be presented simply and concisely using System International (SI) units.
Article structure
Subdivision - numbered sections: The article should be divided 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). Any subsection may be given a brief heading.

Keywords: Provide a maximum of 6 keywords, These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Introduction section: states the objectives of the work and provides an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of the results.
Experimental section: should contain sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference, only relevant modifications should be described.
Theory/calculation section: should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
Results and Discussion: should provide the significance of the results of the work. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
