ABSTRACTS:
Abstracts should be single-spaced in Times New Roman 10-point font, aligned on both margins, with each side margin 1 inch (8.5″ x 11″, the standard U.S. letter setting). Files must be readable in Microsoft Word. The abstract must use metric units. No indentations should be used for paragraphs, and a blank line should divide paragraphs. The following information and format should precede the abstract:

The abstract text box is limited to 250 words and should not include footnotes, tables, figures, maps, bibliographic references, or acknowledgments. Abstracts should be a summary of conclusions and results, not a statement of what topics the presentation will cover.
