This document provides guidance on describing processes. It discusses that a process description focuses on a series of actions. These actions can involve a human performer taking a conspicuous role or not. The description should include an introduction answering what, who, why, key steps, and purpose. It also discusses organizing the steps and details within each step. Stylistically, the active voice is generally best unless the performer is inconspicuous. Overall descriptions aim to help readers understand and visualize the process through clear explanations of each step in order.

Who could ever think of manufacturing metals and other materials like wood and plastic without the lathe machine? Since the lathe machine is an important tool used in the machining process, which is an integral process in the manufacturing technology, it is just fitting to learn about it.
Machining is one of the most important material removal methods in the technology of manufacturing. It is basically a collection of material working processes that involves other processes such as drilling, shaping, sawing, planning, reaming, and grinding among others. Machining is practically a part of the manufacture of all metals and other materials such as plastics, and wood as well. An important machine that is useful in machining is the lathe machine.
A lathe machine is generally used in metalworking, metal spinning, woodturning, and glassworking. The various operations that it can perform include the following: sanding, cutting, knurling, drilling, and deforming of tools that are employed in creating objects which have symmetry about the axis of rotation. Some of the most common products of the lathe machine are crankshafts, camshafts, table legs, bowls, and candlestick holders.
The first lathe machine that was ever developed was the two-person lathe machine which was designed by the Egyptians in about 1300 BC. Primarily, there are two things that are achieved in this lathe machine set-up. The first is the turning of the wood working piece manually by a rope; and the second is the cutting of shapes in the wood by the use of a sharp tool. As civilizations progressed, there have been constant modifications and improvements over the original two-person lathe machine, most importantly on the production of the rotary motion.
The production of the rotary motion therefore evolved according to the following procedures: the Egyptians manual turning by hand; the Romans addition of a turning bow; the introduction of the pedal in the Middle Ages; the use of the steam engines during the Industrial Revolution; the employment of individual electric motors in the 19th and mid 20th centuries; and the latest of which is the adaption of numerically controlled mechanisms in controlling the lathe machine.
For the lathe machine to function and perform its operations, various important parts are integrated together. These essentials parts make up the lathe machine.

Part 2: Methodology and Evaluation Plan
A brief introduction to part 2 and what will be addressed.
Methodology
Program Description
State the importance of the program and what your program will (a paragraph or two). .
Research Design
This research design will be quantitative OR qualitatitve …..state the type of quantitative design that will be used (survey, experimental) or the qualitative design (open ended questions, case study, etc.). State the reason for the design chosen and briefly how it will be used. Use sources here to define the type of design and how it will be used (a full paragraph).
Human Subjects
The participant population will consist of ….are they children, adults? How old are they? What is the requirement? (i.e. must be homeless women with children). (a full paragraph).
Study Validity and Reliability
State what validity is and which one you are using (use resources) and how validity will be used in your program (a full paragraph). Use resources in this section to define validity and reliability and the type you will use.
Do the same for reliability (a full paragraph).
Assumptions and Limitations
First identify the assumptions of the research and program. You can make assumptions about the length of time that participants will be treated, assume what will be applied to the participants (therapies or training or any service that you are providing). You can make assumptions about how these services are provided and the purpose of them. There are also assumptions you can make about the research design you are using (at least a full paragraph).
Limitations are anything that limits the research for the program. There can be limitations for the length of time, the place, getting participants to return or remain in the study. There are also limitations to the type of research design (at least a full paragraph).
Again, use resources here to define some of the assumptions or limitations.

MEAL planMain idea Topic sentence stating the focus of th.docxARIV4
MEAL plan
Main idea: Topic sentence stating the focus of the
paragraph (no citation).
Evidence: Paraphrase from source(s) to support the
topic sentence.
Analysis: Explanation and evaluation of the evidence
cited and its relevance in the student’s own words.
Lead out: Wrap-up for the paragraph, leading the
reader to transition to the next paragraph (and the
next point/topic sentence).
MEAL plan: Example I
Researchers have studied the effectiveness of a
variety of leadership theories in different
contexts. Transformational leadership has been
shown to be more effective than transactional
leadership (Bass & Riggio, 2012). Supervision, a
form of transactional leadership, is a also
successful leadership practice (Kai, 2012).
Executives from Citibank and Target to local mom-
and-pop hardware stores use transformational
leadership in their executive models (B. Rye,
personal communication, May 1, 2010). Both the
leadership style and the organizational context
can affect which leadership style is the best
choice for each organization.
MEAL plan: Example II
Supervision, one practice in transactional
leadership theory, is effective for small
business owners. The form of reward and
punishment associated with this practice
increases employee retention rates (Duffy,
2011). Improved retention not only contributes
to an efficient workplace, but it promotes local
commercial stability and cultural unity (Smith,
2012). Other management styles that are
informed by transactional theory can also
benefit communities.
Literature Review
1. A literature review is a research paper about your topic. Using at least eight (8)
professional (subject matter expert) and/or scholarly references.
2. This section is three to four pages long using a themed (topic sections) presentation
approach with as much detail as possible.
3. Depending on your topic, specific examples or literary support may be difficult to find. In
cases where there is little current research, describe how this was handled.
a. You may need to use a surrogate (somewhat related) topic in order to complete
the literature review. For example, improving the ‘needs assessment’ process in
organization XYZ may not yield research results, so you will need to generalize
the topic. Generalizing the topic could may require examining research on the
value of need assessments, the processes associated with needs assessment, or
how to a conduct needs assessment.
The literature review section/paper must include:
4. Provide a concise synopsis of the current literature that establishes the relevance of the
problem.
5. Describe studies related to the constructs of interest and chosen methodology and
methods that are consistent with the scope of the study.
6. Describe ways researchers in the discipline have approached the problem and the
strengths and weakness inherent in their approaches.
7. Justify from the literature the rationale for sel ...

By Dr. Vinod Kumar Kanvaria
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
3. PROCESS
is a series of actions, and
fundamentally the description of a
process is the description of action.
The action may be either one of two
types. One type is that in which
attention is focused on the
performance of a human being, or
possibly a group of human beings.
4. A simple example is filing a
work piece by hand; in a
description of this process,
emphasis would fall naturally
upon the human skills required.
The other type involves
action in which a human
operator either is not directly
concerned at all, or
inconspicuous. An instance is
the functioning of a contactor.
5. In describing almost any process,
regardless of types there are problems
that usually arises and these are:
1.) Adaptation of the
description to the reader
2.) Overall organization
3.) Use of illustrations
6. As in the description of a mechanism, if the
reader wishes to use the description as a
practical guide, it becomes necessary for
the writer to give careful attention to every
detail.
If the reader is interested only in acquiring a
general knowledge of the principles involved
and has no intention of trying to perform the
process or to direct its performance, the
writer should avoid many of the details and
emphasize the broad outlines of the
process.
7. The fundamental organization of a
process description is simple,
consisting merely of an introduction
followed by a description of each step
in the process in the order in which
they occur.
But this simplicity is usually marred by
the necessity of discussing the
equipment and the materials used.
8. One is to lump it all together in a
section near the beginning;
the other is to introduce each
piece of equipment and each bit of
material as it happens to come up
in the explanation of the steps in
the process.
9. The advantage of confining the description of
equipment and materials to a single section
near the beginning is that such discussion
does not then interrupt the steps in the action
itself.
This method is usually practical if the
equipment and materials are not numerous.
If they happen to be so numerous or so
complex that the reader might have difficulty in
remembering them, the other method of taking
them up as they appear in the process is
preferable. The second method is by far the
more common.
10. Introduction
Equipment and Materials
Step-by-step description of the action
Conclusion (if necessary)
11. In the description wherein the operator takes a
conspicuous part, still the description is divided into;
introduction, step-by-step description, and conclusion.
The Introduction
The introduction of the description of a
process is a comprehensive answer to the
question, “What are you doing?” An
answer to the question can be given by
answering still other questions, principally
the following:
12. It is not always necessary to answer all
six questions, and it is not necessary
to answer them in the order in which
they happen to be listed. It will be
helpful to consider each question in
turn to get some notion of what is
needed to be done.
13. Early in the report readers must be told
enough about what the process is, so that,
they can grasp the general idea. The way in
which this explanation is given depends
upon how much the readers are presumed
to know about the process, as well as upon
the nature of the process itself.
“What is this process?” is simply a
problem of definition, and therefore the
use of comparison and of generalized
description is often particularly helpful.
14. Very often the statement about
who performs the process will
appear as a natural or necessary
element in some other part of the
introduction. Often no statement is
required.
15. It is absolutely necessary that the reader
know why the process is performed – what
its purpose is.
Sometimes simply explaining what the
process is, or defining it, makes the purpose
clear.
However, the purpose of a process may not
be clear from a statement of what it is or
how it is performed. Then it is necessary to
be quite explicit in stating its complete
purpose.
16. The listing of the chief steps in the process is an
important part of the introduction. It is important
because it helps the reader understand the process
before the details of its execution are presented.
Even more important is its function in telling the
reader what to expect in the material that follows. It is
a transitional device. It prepares the reader for what
lies ahead.
The list of steps may appear as a formal list, with a
number or letter standing beside each step. If this
method seems too mechanical, the steps may be
stated in ordinary sentence form, with or without
numbers or letters. The steps should be discussed in
the order in which they are listed.
17. The latter question calls for a specific
statement of purpose – the purpose of
including the description of this process in
the report of which it is a part. In other
words, readers will want to know why you
are asking them to take time to read your
description of the process. Be careful to
keep in mind the distinction between the
purpose you have in writing about it. These
are very different matters.
18. ORGANIZATION
With the possible exception of the
discussion of equipment and materials, the
introduction to a description is followed
directly by a description of the chief steps in
the process. Two problems appear in
organizing the description of the chief steps.
One is how to organize the steps; the other
is how to organize the material within each
individual step.
19. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTION
In describing the action, the writer must say
everything the readers need to know to
understand, perhaps even to visualize the process.
The omission of a slight detail may be enough
to spoil everything. Care should be taken not only
in connection with the details of what is done, but
also of how it is done.
The content of the description of a process is
governed by the reader’s need to comprehend
every step in the action.
20. Style
A discussion in style in the description of
a mechanism however would focus on the
problem of choice of the mood and voice of
the predicate, and of the noun or pronoun
used as a subject.
A good many possibilities exist, but three
are of special importance: the active voice
and indicative mood, the passive voice and
indicative mood, and the active voice and
imperative mood.
21. The next step is the application of the
solder to the joint. This step requires the
use of only the heated iron (or copper),
and a length of the rosin-core solder. The
solderer takes the iron in one hand and
the solderer in the other, and holds the
iron steadily against the wire joint for a
moment to heat the wire. Then he or she
presses the solder lightly against the
joint, letting enough of it melt and flow
over the wire to form a coating about the
entire joint.
22. The next step is the application of the
solder to the joint. This step requires
the use of only the heated iron, and a
length of the rosin-core solder. The
iron is held steadily against the wire
joint for a moment to heat the wire.
Then the solder is pressed lightly
against the joint until enough of it has
melted and flowed over the wire to
form a coating about the entire joint.
23. The next step is the application of the
solder to the joint. This step requires
the use of only the heated iron, and a
length of the resin-core solder. Take
the iron in one hand and the solder in
the other, and hold the iron steadily
against the wire joint for a moment to
heat the wire. Now press the solder
lightly against the joint. Let enough of
it melt and flow over the wire to form a
coating about the entire joint.
24. 1. The solderer holds the iron.
The process being described is one
that is performed by one person.
2. The iron is held.
The description is intended as
general information rather than as a
guide for immediate action.
3. Hold the iron.
The description is directed to
readers who know little about the
process.
All in all, the
three forms
(active
indicative,
passive
indicative, and
active
imperative) are
by far the most
useful. These
remarks refer
only to the type
of process in
which there is a
CONSPICUOUS
operator.
25. 1. Fixing the chief steps in mind (listing
them again might help)
2. Recalling special points about
equipment or materials
3. Analyzing the advantages and
disadvantages of the process.
4. Noting how this process is related to
the other processes, or other work that is
being done, or reported on
26. The next is the process in which the human
agent is less conspicuous.
Such processes may be of great magnitude.
They are distinguished by the fact that little
emphasis falls directly upon the performance of
a human being or beings.
How does a transformer works? An answer to
this question would be the description of a
process; but in that description there would be
little need to mention the quality of the
performance of the operator.
27. 1. Emphasis is altogether on the action – on what
happens – and not on the operator and how the
operator performs certain actions.
2. The presentation is usually (not always) in the
indicative, the passive indicative, or a combination
of the two. The imperative mood never appears.
3. The terms “equipment” and “material” take on a
somewhat different meaning and significance.
28. The three points just mentioned about the
process in which the performer is not
conspicuous rests on the same principles as
in the first process wherein the operator is
conspicuous.
The main difference is that in the process
wherein the operator is inconspicuous the
imperative mood is never used obviously,
because the emphasis falls on the action
and not on the performer, that is why the
term “materials and equipments” takes a
different meaning because it is now the
performer of the action.
