What factors do you think make them excellent project reports write.pdfbermanbeancolungak45
What factors do you think make them excellent project reports? write in your own words
Solution
1) Structure - A good report has a proper style and structure. Most businesses prefer the top-
down approach that entails stating the main point or the gist of the point first and then
reinforcing or substantiating the point made.
2) Substance - The report needs to cover the details of the project comprehensively, including all
the big risks and issues that affect the project and solutions for the same.
3) Table of Contents - Large reports, usually more than four pages\' length or containing many
subsections, need to include a table of contents. Incorporation of a table of contents provides a
“top down” gist of the report, allowing the reader to orient himself or read selectively from the
report.
4) Content Heavy Table - Content heavy titles support the “top-down” approach with the title
being the main point and the text that follows the explanation of the point. The best headings
makes the text that follows superfluous.
5) Language and Style - A critical aspect of good project report writing is the use of simple and
easy-to-understand language free from spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes. Even minor
spelling and punctuation mistakes can change the entire meaning of sentences and highlight the
project promoters in poor light.
6) Lists, Tables, Figures, and Graphs - Such items highlight key points of emphasis, remove
clutter, and make the report structure easy to read and visually appealing.
Bulleted lists find use to highlight to-do items or specific actions. Figures, graphs, and tables
make for powerful tools to present ideas, make comparisons, or summarize points in a way that
captures and retains interest. Including all such information in descriptive sentences make the
project report too lengthy and cumbersome
7) Appendices - Lengthy project reports require an appendix to place technical details,
background material such as experts from previous studies, lists of supporting programs, raw
data, derivative and analytical expressions, and similar material. Inclusion of such items along
with the main text interrupts the flow nd makes it difficult for the reader who wants to make a
quick initial reading and go into the details at a later stage.
8) References and Citations
A references section becomes mandatory if the report contains results from books or articles. The
best practice is to cite sources in the main text, such as (Harvey, 1999), and provide the full
citation in the references section. Adherence to standard style guidelines such as the APA Style,
MLA Style, Chicago Style, or Harvard Style lends additional credibility to the project report.
9) Proofreading - Pople ignore is proofreading the project report before submission. This is a
mistake! Proofreading can capture inadvertent errors that are simple to correct but costly if not
caught.
10) Appearance - Another factor that many people ignore is ensuring the tidiness and appearan.
The document provides guidelines for writing abstracts and outlines of research papers. It explains that an abstract is a short summary of the main topics and findings of a research paper.

It also has sections for students to take notes on how traits of a target audience like age, education, and interests affect publication design. The goal is to analyze how design choices communicate information based on the needs of the audience.
This document discusses important principles for effective business publications, including design, audience, and purpose. It notes that publications must grab attention, present information attractively and concisely. Key design principles are balance, proximity, alignment, repetition, contrast and white space. Understanding the target audience's age, education, interests and groups helps appeal to them. Publications' purposes include providing contact information, advertising events/products, and informing groups through newsletters.
A database report is used to organize, group, and summarize data from one or more database tables or queries. Reports allow data to be presented attractively with custom formatting and graphics. They offer advantages like grouping data from multiple tables, performing calculations, and adding headers while allowing the report to be saved, updated, and printed in different orientations. Reports contain sections like page headers, group headers, report headers, details, group footers, and page footers to display things like column headings, grouped data fields, titles, summarized data, and page numbers.
The document discusses database queries, forms, and reports used in business. It explains how a query relates four tables to find out which products were ordered by each customer. The query uses fields from the Orders, Purchase Orders, and Grocery Products tables. A relationship between common fields is required for a subform to communicate with the main form. The query results are then displayed on a Customers form that uses a subform to show order details for each store.
This document discusses database queries, which extract information from one or more tables using filters and selection criteria. Queries can be saved and reused, unlike filters which are one-time tools. The document outlines comparison operators like equal to, less than, and greater than that are used to build queries, as well as conditional operators like AND and OR. Forms and reports are also mentioned as other database objects that can be created using tables.
Forms are database objects used for data entry and retrieval. They provide a user-friendly interface that can include menus, instructions, and graphics. Forms are commonly used for tasks like online reservations, entering contact information, and electronic card catalogs. They allow for faster searching and data entry while making information easy to read and understand, and allow censoring of certain data fields. Common elements of forms include graphics, data from database records, calculations, controls to define data use, descriptive text, and subforms embedded in the main form.
The document discusses database tables, which are the fundamental building blocks of databases. It defines key concepts like records, fields, and entries. A record contains all the data fields for one item, like a customer. A field is a single piece of data like a name. An entry is the actual data in a field, like "John Doe". The document provides examples of database tables and their structure, with rows representing records and columns representing fields.
- Database tables can be linked together through relationships that connect common fields, called primary keys, between tables. This allows data to be stored separately but managed and retrieved collectively.
- A relationship links data between individual tables and increases the usefulness of a database. A primary key uniquely identifies each record in a table and is used to link tables together through relationships.
- Junction tables are used to join primary keys from multiple tables and allow those tables to share information through a many-to-many relationship.
Data types and field properties format data in database tables. Data types define the type of data in a field, such as number or text. Field properties define how the data is formatted, like limiting text fields to a certain number of characters. Setting the proper data types and field properties allows data to be sorted, searched, and used in calculations correctly. Common data types include text, number, date/time, and currency. Field properties include field size, format, and input masks to control how data is entered.
The document discusses charts and graphs used in business, including their components and purposes. It explains that charts visually represent spreadsheet data in a way that highlights trends and relationships. Charts contain elements like data series, titles, axes, labels, legends and more. Examples of using charts include representing sales trends, expenses, and stock prices. The document identifies key chart components and their functions.
This document discusses six common types of charts used in business: column chart, stacked bar chart, line chart, XY scatter plot, pie chart, and exploded pie chart. It defines each chart and provides examples to illustrate the type of data each chart is best suited to display. The column chart compares groups of data. The stacked bar chart shows the contribution of parts to a whole. The line chart indicates trends over time. The XY scatter plot shows correlations between two variables. The pie chart displays the percentage of parts in a whole. The exploded pie chart emphasizes portions of a pie chart.
This document discusses copyright law and fair use guidelines for educators. It provides examples of common copyright scenarios teachers may encounter and analyzes whether each scenario constitutes a copyright violation. The key points are:
- Copyright law is intended to protect the rights of creators while also allowing limited use of copyrighted works under the fair use doctrine for purposes like education.
- Fair use analysis considers the purpose and character of the use, nature of the work, amount used, and effect on the market. Non-profit educational use and small portions are more likely to be considered fair use.
- Using copyrighted images, text, music or videos without permission in presentations, publications or online is generally a violation unless it meets fair use thresholds. Permission

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

1. Software Applications for Business Notes
I. Introduction to Formatting, Alignment, and Page Setup
A. Font formatting – appearance, size, and attributes of text. The format chosen
for font is important for communication purposes
1. Bold – used to emphasize a specific word
2. Italics –used to indicate book titles and other published works
3. Underline – used to indicate links to web pages and should be reserved
for that purpose in most cases
4. The accent symbol, such as in the word résumé is used to indicate
emphasis during pronunciation
5. Style – a format tool used to apply global font formats to text
6. Subscripts and superscripts – used respectively in chemical definitions,
such as H2O, and for footnotes or reference purposes, such as in
1
Webster’s Dicitonary
7. Small caps may be used to format titles or headings in a document
8. A serif font is one that has small attributes at the tips of each letter, often
used in the body of a letter or report
9. A sans serif font does not include the attributes at the tips of each letter,
commonly used in title texts
B. Paragraph formatting–arrangement of text within paragraphs on a page
Properly and uniformly formatted paragraphs are also important for
communication purposes
1. Indents – used to indicate a new paragraph and offset long quotes
2. Line spacing can be set for single, one and a half lines, double, or triple
3. Borders and shading are used together or separately to emphasize a
specific textual element in a document
4. Bullets/numbers are used to list items
a. Use bullets when the items are nonsequential
b. Use numbers for procedural lists that must be accomplished in a
specific order
5. A hanging indent is most often used in reference materials
• The first line of a hanging indent begins at the left margin and all
remaining lines of the paragraph are indented five spaces from the left
margin
6. Endnotes/footnotes – used to add reference and commentary
information to textual content
a. Endnotes are source references that are placed on a Notes page
at the end of a document. Within the document, each reference is
indicated by a superscripted number or symbol
b. Footnotes are source references that are placed at the bottom
(foot) of the same page and are indicated by a superscripted
number or symbol within the document
2. Software Applications for Business Notes
7. Cut and paste is a tool used in paragraph formatting that allows the user
to move text from one location to another
8. Paragraph headings are keyed in bold and followed by a period at the
beginning of a paragraph to give the reader a quick idea about the
content of the paragraph
9. Tabs are used to align and organize data into groups and subgroups
a. A left justified tab allows text to be aligned on the left margin
b. A right justified tab allows text to be aligned at the right margin
c. A dot leader tab places a series of periods between two sets of
tabs or a tab and a margin
10. Tables – used to arrange text in columns and rows and are helpful in
presenting, organizing, and clarifying information
C. Page formatting – arrangement of text on a page. The arrangement of text on a
page is the culmination of text and paragraph formatting that presents the final
picture and communicates a message to a reader
1. Margin – the amount of white space around the sides of a document
2. Page orientation –landscape (wider than tall) or portrait (taller than wide)
3. Headers and footers add global information to a document, such as
page numbers and document titles
4. Page breaks may be manual or automatic and are used to manage the
content on a page
a. A soft page break occurs automatically through the word wrap
feature of the word processing software and text is simply
continued to the next page when the space on the previous page
is exhausted
b. A hard page break is performed manually when a new page is
needed for a break or change in content
5. Columns are used to format text for documents such as newspapers and
newsletters
