11- Electronic Figure Submission

• Supply all figures electronically, pointing to which program used. Black and white graphic with no shading All figures are to be numbered using Arabic numerals with "Fig." and the figure number, e.g., Fig.1.eps, Figure parts should be denoted by lowercase letters (a, b, c, etc.). Do not use faint lines and points must be clear. : Photographs have Halftones should have a minimum resolution of 300 dpi. If any magnification is used in the photographs; indicate this by using scale bars within the figures themselves. Each image must be uploaded separately and should be "JEPG or TIF" type. Figure caption describing accurately what the figure depicts. Figures should be submitted within the body of the text. Only if the file size of the manuscript causes problems in uploading it, the large figures should be submitted separately from the text.

13- Equations
