under study. Materials and methods should include relevant details on
the nature of material, experimental design and the statistical methods
used. However, results and discussion should preferably be combined to
avoid repetition. If in case, the author feels inconvenient to do so,
he/she can give a separate heading. The discussion should briefly
attempt at relating author's result (s) to other work on the subject and
give authors conclusions. Numerical results should be shown in the
