V. CONCLUSIONS(SIZE 10 & BOLD)

The version of this template is V2. Most of the formatting instructions in this document have been compiled
by Causal Productions from the IJSMS LaTeX style files. Causal Productions offers both A4 templates and US
Letter templates for LaTeX and Microsoft Word. The LaTeX templates depend on the official IJSMS tran.cls
and IJSMS tran.bst files, whereas the Microsoft Word templates are self-contained. Causal Productions has
used its best efforts to ensure that the templates have the same appearance.
Causal Productions permits the distribution and revision of these templates on the condition that Causal
Productions is credited in the revised template as follows: “original version of this template was provided by
courtesy of Causal Productions (www.causalproductions.com)”.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT (SIZE 10 & BOLD)
