Abstract: A single paragraph of about 250 words maximum. For research articles, abstracts should give a pertinent overview of the work. We strongly encourage authors to use the following style of structured abstracts, but without headings: Background: Place the question addressed in a broad context and highlight the purpose of the study; Methods: Briefly describe the main methods or treatments applied; Results: Summarize the article's main findings; and Conclusion: Indicate the main conclusions or interpretations. The abstract should be an objective representation of the article, it must not contain results which are not presented and substantiated in the main text and should not exaggerate the main conclusion. (Style 1.8 Abstract)

Keywords: keyword 1; keyword 2; keyword 3. List three to ten pertinent keywords specific to the article; yet reasonably common within the subject discipline. For keyword selection, when possible, please choose terms present on the MeSH website or the AGROVOC Multilingual Thesaurus available at: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/ and

How to Use This Template

The template details the sections that can be used in a manuscript. Sections that are not mandatory are listed as such. The section titles given are for Articles. Review papers have a more flexible structure. Manuscript must have a maximum of 15 pages including all article elements as figures, tables, and references. Longer manuscripts will be immediately rejected. Please try to use the Styles Galery above to format your manuscript as indicated in this template Please remove these paragraphs.

INTRODUCTION (Style 2.1 Section)

The introduction should briefly place the study in a broad context and highlight why it is important. It should define the purpose of the work and its significance. The current state of the research field should be reviewed carefully, and key publications cited. Please highlight controversial and diverging hypotheses when necessary. Finally, briefly mention the main aim of the work. References should be numbered in order of appearance and indicated by a numeral or numerals in square brackets, e.g., [1] or [2,3], or [4–6]. See the end of the document for further details on references. (Style 2.2 Text)

MATERIAL AND METHODS (Style 2.1 Section)

Material and Methods should be described with sufficient details to allow others to replicate and build on published results. Please note that publication of your manuscript implicates that you must make all materials, data, computer code, and protocols associated with the publication available to readers. Please disclose at the submission stage any restrictions on the availability of materials or information in cover letter. New methods and protocols should be described in detail while well-established methods can be briefly described and appropriately cited. This section may be divided by subheadings as reported below. (Style 2.2 Text)

RESULTS (Style 2.1 Section)

This section may be also divided by subheadings. It should provide a concise and accurate description of the experimental results, their interpretation as well as the experimental conclusion that can be drawn. (Style 2.2 Text)

Subsection (Style 2.3 Subsection)

Figures, Tables and Schemes

Put all figures tables and schemes in their correct place in the text All figures and tables should be cited in the main text as Figure 1, Table 1, etc.

Table 1. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. Tables cannot be attached as an image. Please pay attention to the formatting of the table. It should be as per the example below. For more information, please read the norms. (Style 2.6 Table Capition)

    1 Tables may have a footer. (Style 2.8 Table Footer)

Figure 1. This is a figure, schemes follow the same formatting. If there are multiple panels, they should be listed as:                (a) Description of what is contained in the first panel; (b) Description of what is contained in the second panel. Figures should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. Images should have a minimum resolution of 600 dpi. Readable fonts. A caption on a single line should be centered. (Style 2.6 Figure Capition)

Tables that are too large for portrait pages should be placed on a separate page in the sequence they appear in the text, in landscape mode, as in the example page below.

Use this page if you need to use landscape mode tables. If not please delete this page

Table 2. This is a table in landscape mode. Tables should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. Tables cannot be attached as an image. Please pay attention to the formatting of the table. It should be as per the example below. For more information, please read the norms. (Style 2.6 Table Capition)

  1 Tables may have a footer. (Style 2.8 Table Footer)

Formatting of Mathematical Components

This is an example of an equation: (Style 2.2 Text)

the text following an equation need not be a new paragraph. Please punctuate equations as regular text. (Style 2.2 Text)

Theorem-type environments (including propositions, lemmas, corollaries, etc.) can be formatted as follows:

Theorem 1. Example text of a theorem. Theorems, propositions, lemmas, etc. should be numbered sequentially (i.e., Proposition 2 follows Theorem 1). Examples or Remarks use the same formatting, but should be numbered separately, so a document may contain Theorem 1, Remark 1 and Example 1. (Style 3.1 Theorem)

The text continues here. Proofs must be formatted as follows: (Style 2.2 Text)

Proof of Theorem 1. Text of the proof. Note that the phrase ‘of Theorem 1’ is optional if it is clear which theorem is being referred to. Always finish a proof with the following symbol. (Style 3.2 Proof)
