The equations provided with references in the text are numbered by Arabic numerals and put in parenthesis. The numbers are right aligned.
The values in equations are interpreted in separate lines. The logic of the formulas’ values explanation is required to be similar to the logic of numbers in the formula. In case the right side is evaluated by fraction, the variables are defined firstly for the formula numerator and secondly for the denominator. Total number of symbols in the index has to be minimal.

Numbers (size 11) are put near the coordinate axis, zero is written once.

The details of figures are numerated in Arabic numerals (font 11) beginning with number 1, no gaps, no duplication or clockwise, or horizontally from left to right, or vertically from top to bottom.

Lettering in figures should be replaced by letters notations (front 11), and the curves – by digits (front 11), which are explained in the figure lettering. All figures must have letterings which align in the centre. Figure lettering (front 11) is not allowed to group with pictures.

All tables should have titles. The numeration title of the table (front 11, italic) aligned on the right side of the table, topic table title (front 11, bold) – in the centre.

All references should be numbered as a list and preferably have DOI (ISBN or URL if a reference does not have DOI).

In the bibliography, which is created in the order of references, it is necessary to specify the authors, full title of the book, city of publication, publisher, tome ( number, edition), year of publication, total number of pages, for articles – initial and final pages.
