FORMAT AND SIZE: The dimensions of the abstract must not exceed 17 cm wide x 16 cm deep, including the title, authors, and institutional addresses. To achieve this using A4 paper, set all margins to 2 cm. This will allow inclusion of the contact information detailed below. The font to be used throughout is 11 point Times New Roman.

Include a carriage return after the last author but do not add a blank line after the names. Do not include a full stop after the last name.
INSTITUTIONS: The Institutions should be typed in lower case and should be left aligned, not justified. Use superscript numbers to link authors to institutions if there is more than one institution.

A single blank line should follow the institutions. Do not include a full stop after the last institution.

Use the headings Aims:, Methods:, Results:, and Conclusions: typed in bold (including the colon), where applicable. Do not include a carriage return after the headings.
