3.1. Rationale for the Research Method

(in boldface, capitalized headline style, beginning at the left margin)

second-level subheading

3.4.1. Local Approximations

(7) Page Numbers Pages before the Introduction (Acknowledgement, Abstract, Table of

Contents, List of Tables, Figures and List of Abbreviations, etc.) are

numbered with lower case Roman numerals (e.g. i, ii, iii, iv). Starting with the

first page of the introduction, number pages with Arabic numeralsconsecutively through to the last page of the thesis, including any appendices.

Place page numbers at the top center of each page.

(8) Style Spelling: Use the British English for spelling throughout the whole text.


5/23

Units and Measures : Units and Measures may be either British orAmerican or Metric or International System of Units ( SI ). SI unit is more

preferable whichever system the author chooses should be used

consistently throughout the text. It is not necessary to place an Imperial

conversion in parentheses after other systems of units as in: The depth of the bore hole was 3.4m (11ft. 2 in.)

Numbers : Do not begin a sentence with a number. A number must bewritten in words if it begins a sentence. If this is not practical or

awkward, rephrase the sentence so it does not begin with a number.

Example:

Incorrect Correct

4 trials were run Four trials were run

42 trials were run Forty-two trials were run

It is commonly accepted style to write numbers less than ten digits in words .

Example:

Incorrect Correct

A total of 4 trials were A total of four trials were

run over a 6 day period. run over a six day Period.

Incorrect Correct

In a test given 6 months later, In a test given six months later,

14 children made no error; 14 children made no errors;

64 made 1 to 2 errors; 64 made one to two errors;

97 made 3 to 4 errors. 97 made three to four errors;

(9) Tables, Figures and Equations: Tables, figures and equations should be

placed into the text as close as possible to their first mention in the text.

Tables, figures and equations should be given the Arabic numbers to indicate

the chapter and sequence in the text. Each table or figure must be given a title.

Example:

Table 5.6. Smokers and Nonsmokers, by Age

Figure 3.4. Block Diagram of Fern Lake

Place the table number at the upper left margin of the table; add a period and

a dash and continue with the title, giving the first and all succeeding full lines

the full width of the table and centering the last, shorter line. The title may be

capitalized headline style.


6/23


7/23

Numbered equations should be displayed either by centering on the line

below the text or with a standard indentation from the left margin. The

equation number is usually placed so it is flush with the right margin. It is not

necessary to bracket equation numbers as in Equation (3.2).

Example:If A i and B i can be written as in Equations 3.2 and 3.3, model response can be

expressed as:

Y i (t) = F o / K i [A i Sin (bt)+ B i Cos (bt)] (3.4)

Abbreviations : The international standard of abbreviations should be used

throughout the text. The author who must form new abbreviations for the

purposes of a paper should place them in a list of abbreviations. When

abbreviating the names of organizations or specific terms, write the full name or

term the first time it is used, followed by the abbreviation in parentheses.

Example:

Some household used electricity and most households used liquefied

petroleum gas (LPG) in all urban areas. There were a relatively smaller

number of households in Chengmai using LPG. The use of periods may be omitted especially in uppercase abbreviations.

In the example above, there are no periods in the abbreviation LPG. However it is still common practice to use after lowercase abbreviations

(e.g., Fig., etc., Eqn., vs., no., Co., Corp., Ltd.). Scholarly degrees and professional and honorary designations can be

abbreviated by the use of internal periods (e.g., B.A., B.S., M.B.A., M.A.,

M.A.Sc., M.I.Sc., M.Sc., M.S., Ph.D.) The names of government agencies, associations, organizations and other

groups are often abbreviated, even in text, preferably after one spelled-out

use. Such abbreviations are set in uppercase with no periods:

MRTV NATO OPEC UN UNESCO YMCA ASEAN

Within the text, spell out the names of countries, states, provinces,territories, bodies of water, mountains and the like. In lists, tabular matter,

notes, bibliographies, and indexes, the abbreviations may be used. Spell out and do not capitalize (unless in a heading or at the beginning of a

sentence) the words except in cases when such a term is following

abbreviations should be used.


8/23

In the text, do not abbreviate ordinary words such as approximately and

versus. Do not use the ampersand & in place of and. Do not use a slash / in

place of and or or. An abbreviation should begin with a capital when it

is the first word of a note and wherever the usual rules for capitalization

apply.

(j) The Reference Matter

(1) References

The reference section is a list of all works the author has cited or referred to,

in the text.(2) Bibliography

The bibliography is a list of works the author read or consulted but did not

cite directly in the text.

Note:

The title of the book or journal is capitalized headline style and italicized. The title of the article is capitalized headline style and italicized. References are listed by year of publication in descending order followed

by first author in alphabetical order. The name of the website is underlined. For works having more than three authors, use the names of the first

author followed by et al.. See Appendix for the sample sheet of references.

(i) Books

[name of author (s), edito r(s) or the organization responsible for the book or

document ], [full title including subtitle if any, title of series if any and

volume number in the series, volume number or total number of volumes in

a multi-volume work ], [edition if not the original ], [publishers name if

(iii) Authors Name Not Known

Example 8: Smaller fleets can use average values to compute the expected

output per time unit, however the figures do not reveal the

whole picture of the operation since the production can be

limited by either the loading function or hauling function[84Ano].

(k) Appendices

Appendices may contain tables too detailed for text presentation, a large

group of illustrations, technical notes on method, schedules and forms used in

collecting materials, case studies too long to be put into the text, and

sometime figures or other illustrative materials.

Materials of different categories should be placed in separate appendices.Where there is more than one appendix, each should be given a number or a

letter e.g. (APPENDIX 1, APPENDIX 2, etc.). or (APPENDIX A,

APPENDIX B, etc.). The Generic heading and the title of an appendix are

both centered, in uppercase and in bold face .
