2. Writing Successful
Conference Abstracts
 1) Model your abstract on examples from the
discipline. Find examples of abstracts from your
particular discipline and model your writing on
that example.
 2) Check requirements: abstract length, content
(“Call for Papers”), submission material (bio,
cover page, institutional affiliation, whether or not
to submit by email…)

3. Abstracts should contain the
following information:
* Notice that this paragraph is written as an abstract.
Despite the fact that an abstract is quite brief, it must do almost as
much work as the multi-page paper that follows it. This means that it
should in most cases include the following sections.
• Motivation
• Problem statement
• Methodology
• Results
• Implications

4. All abstracts include:
 1. The full citation of the source preceding the
abstract.
 2. The most important information first.
 3. The same level of language found in the
original, including technical language.
 4. Key words and phrases that quickly
identify the content and focus of the work.
 5. Clear, concise, and powerful language.

5. How not to write a abstract:
 1. Do not refer extensively to other
works.
 2. Do not add information not
contained in the original work.
 3. Do not define terms.

6. Writing an Abstract
(1) Descriptive abstracts
 background
 purpose
 particular interest/focus of paper
 overview of contents (not always included)
(2) Informative abstracts
 background
 aim or purpose of research
 method used
 findings/ results
 conclusion

7. EXAMPLES
Cassava starch separation
background :
The production of cassava starch in
Colombia comes mainly from the
northem region of the cauca department
in small agricultural industries know as
“rallanderias”, in which the setting of the
slurry accurs in channels. Due to the
fact that the setting process determines
the capacity of the starch industry.

8. Aim or purpose of research
evaluate the process of sedimentation in
rectangular channels.
Method used
Two main components were evaluated:
determination of the change in the
concentration of the slurry entering the
setting zone and determination of the
particle size distribution in the setting
zone.

9. Results
In relation to the affluent of the clannels,
it was found that concentration of the
slurry during strainer operation was
between 0.1 to 6% most of the time; the
setting of discrete particles, for wich the
stokes law may be applied
predominate.

10. Conclusion
During the setting process, the flow
varied between 0,82 to 1,44 l/s with a
predominance of laminar flow and a
hydraulic retention time greater than
150 minutes.

11. Sexual risk in adolescents
depending on the age of sexual
debut
Background
During adolescence and young adulthood
are maintained the first intimate relations
ships and the period starts exposure to
sexually transmited infections (stis). The
age of first intercourse has decreased
considerably in recent decades, standing
before 18 years many countries (wellings
et al, 2006).

12. Aim or porpuse of research
Analyze sexual risk by age of sexual
debut.
Methods
Sexual practices and methods of protection
are analyzed depending on the age of
sexual debut among Spanish adolescents
who are sexually experienced (N = 351).
The mean age was 15.9 years (SD = .75,
range: 14-18). Three groups were formed
according to the age of sexual debut
reported: early sexual debut (earlier than
15 years), average (15 years) and late
(later than 15 years).

13. resulds
The early sexual debut group reported further
mutual masturbation, vaginal intercourse and
oral sex with a higher number of sexual partners
than the rest. Condom use at first intercourse,
percentage of use and consistent condom use
was significantly lower in the early sexual debut
group compared to the others. Sexual debut
before 15 years old was associated with
increased risk of sexual infections, deficit in
condom use and increased sexual exposure.
conclusion
The findings of this study suggest that the age
of sexual debut has implications for the sexual
health in young people.
