Discussion

Nam eget condimentum sapien, eu eleifend est. Mauris interdum a metus eget scelerisque. Phasellus fringilla sapien id ante cursus, eget posuere orci posuere. Cras at nulla nec orci vulputate facilisis. Proin pellentesque semper pulvinar. Proin fermentum semper massa, eu hendrerit dui vestibulum vel.

Tables

The use of tables within the text should be in a separate line. Each table should be numbered in the caption. And should be referenced with proper link (Table 1). The table text should be set to 10 points font size, with the headings in bold.

Flexural Strength (psi)	Electric Conductivity (S/cm)	Specific Weight (g/cm3)
>1730	80	1,27
<1200	50	0,65

Table 1: Table captions should always be positioned bellow the table and set to 10 points font size, centered and inset 2,0 cm from the right and left margins

Figures

Figures must be numbered and its caption should be placed bellow the image and set to a font size of 10 points. And should be referenced with proper link (Figure 1). Authors are responsible for the quality of the figures inserted but we strongly advise to use images that have quality enough for printing purposes (at least 300 dpi). Please avoid the use of shading and be reasonable with the size of text and width of lines, the figure must be clearly legible, thus contrast should be as pronounced as possible.

Figure 1: Figure captions should always be positioned bellow the figure and set to 10 points font size, centered and inset 2,0 cm from the right and left margins

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources. As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table or extract from the text of another source.

Formulas

The use of formulas within the text should be in a separate line and centered, referenced with proper link (Formula 1). Displayed expressions must be numbered in the caption, which should be set in the same line as the formula, enclosed in parentheses and right margined.

Citations

When citing authors should use the author-date system, which means including in the text and between curved brackets, the last name of the authors and the date – example (Smith 2005). The complete reference should be listed at the end of the document using the Chicago Manual of Style. Instructions and examples of references can be found at http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org. Authors can use tools like EndNote or Mendeley to support this process.
