Instructions for the Preparation of Abstracts

1. The abstract should be typed single-spaced in English using Microsoft Word with 11-12 points "Times New Roman" font within a text box of 12 cm/4.7 inches (height) x 16 cm/6.2 inches (width). Create the text box from the toolbar menu "Insert" then click "Text box". Define the size of the text box using the toolbar menu "Format" then click "Text box" and "Size". When typing the abstract on A4-size page, the above dimensions are equivalent to creating a left and right margin of 3 cm/1.2 inches and a top and bottom margin of 2.5 cm/1 inch and 15.3 cm/6 inches, respectively.
2. The title of the abstract should be typed in bold capital. This is followed by the names of authors - with the family name capitalized and the given names in capital and small letters. The name of the presenting author should be underlined. Indicate the affiliation (department, institution, city, postal code and country) of the presenting author only. (Please refer to the sample abstract for a graphic presentation of the layout.)
3. The text must be arranged in the order of Objective, Methods, Results and Conclusions, with no indentation at the beginning of each paragraph.
4. Standard abbreviations are allowed and special ones must be defined when first introduced.
5. The abstract will be reproduced exactly as submitted and authors should check for typographic and spelling errors, and the use of symbols, subscripts, superscripts, etc before submission.
6. The abstract must be submitted electronically together with a copy of the "Abstract Submission Form" as an email attachment to the Congress Secretariat (huaxia2006@pctourshk.com). Hardcopy or fax copy of the abstract will not be accepted as a substitute for the electronic submission. Authors who wish to submit more than one abstract should fill out a separate "Abstract Submission Form" for each abstract. The presenting author will be notified within three days by the Congress Secretariat if the abstract is properly received. Authors who do not receive such confirmations should check with the Congress Secretariat.
7. Authors should indicate on the "Abstract Submission Form" their preference for oral, poster or either form of presentation. However, the Scientific Committee reserves the right to make the final decision.
8. Those presenting authors who wish to be considered for the "Young Investigator Awards" should indicate on the "Abstract Submission Form". The awards will be adjudicated by panels of international judges. The presenting author must be aged below 40, and give oral or poster presentation in English.
