An asterisk should be used to indicate the corresponding author. Indicate e-mail address telephone and fax number of each author.
Abstract. It must be a single paragraph that should state briefly the purpose of the research, cite in a very succinct way the methodology used, summarizes the main results and indicate the main conclusions of the study. It should not contain references. Also, non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if necessary, they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
Key Words. These words should be very concrete and with a well-defined content. They should be carefully chosen and should not repeat the title of manuscript. Key words, not more than 6, should be given immediately after the abstract.
Introduction. Introduction should be very brief and must be focused and describe the background of the object of the study. It must include the significance of the study and a clear statement of the objectives of the study. The purpose of the study should be mentioned at the end of this section. Only essential references should be cited.
Material (or Subjects) and Methods. This section should describe the experimental procedures in sufficient detail to allow other scientists to repeat the experiments. Statistical methods used to summarize data and test hypotheses and the level of significance used for hypothesis testing should be provided.
Results and Discussion. The section should provide data that are clearly and simply stated. The results should be presented logically and concisely, with the help of only essential tables, graphs and histograms or photographs. Repetition of the data in text and tables should be avoided. The main purpose of the discussion is to comment on the significance of the results and to place them in the context of relevant published data. The Discussion should be strictly limited on findings in the manuscript, should be concise containing only discussion that is necessary for interpretation of findings.
Acknowledgments. Any collaboration and all persons who have contributed in the data and conclusions should be concisely included. Also, any other information regarding research funding etc. should be included. It must be a single paragraph immediately following the discussion.
References. They must be ordered alphabetically by the first author surname and numbered the entries consecutively. The references should be cited in the text by their list number in the squared brackets. All references cited in the text, should be verified in the References section and vice versa, and well indexed (authors, year, title, magazine, volume, pages, etc.). Journal name should be abbreviated in accordance with the form approved by the ISI Web of Science.
Only articles that are published or in press should be included in this section. Works submitted for publication but not yet accepted, abstracts, personal communications, unpublished data and web addresses must be cited within the text in parentheses.
The style used for common types of references is as follows:

Table and figures
Do not repetitiously show the same data in both a table and a figure. Tables should be created using the table function. The tables and the figures should have a concise title, should be sufficiently clear and simple, in order to be comprehensible without having to refer to the text. Place caption to the first row of the tables. Tables and figures should be numbered using consecutively Arabic numbers and referred to in the text by number. Additional information should be given as a footnote on the table or figure. Place footnotes to the last row of the tables and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Table and figure legends should follow the main text, each on a separate page. Possibly, the tables must be the sufficiently short, in order to avoid dividing them. All table columns should have a clear heading.
Authors may use photographs, schemes, diagrams, line graphs and bar charts to illustrate their findings. The figures and their lettering should be clear and easy to read i.e. no labels should be too large or too small. Figures must be submitted in gray scale. Graphs must be two dimensional, displaying labels and units.
Positively reviewed abstracts will be published in the Conference’s Proceeding to be published by the AUT and Molise University. A copy will be distributed to all registered participants at the Conference.
