Title: Proposal for Implementing Innovative Agricultural Technologies in Farming Operations: Investing in the Future for Increased Efficiency and Sustainability
Prepare a detailed outline of a proposal focusing on the specifics for each of the sections below. This structure leads to a “quality control” mindset, ensuring that all important areas that need to be included in a technical document have been.
The final document will include an abstract or executive summary that mirrors a workplace approach to quality called “Six Sigma.” In that approach, often used to identify projects that will streamline processes and create efficiency in an organization, a one-page document is used to briefly summarize the need/scope of a new six sigma project. In it, the big goal of the project is identified, along with objectives and what stakeholders will be involved in the project. In this way, a senior executive can quickly scan the “one page” slide (as the document is often a PowerPoint slide) before reading on to see detailed information about elements of the proposed project. The examples below provide an idea of what you are working towards in the final proposal.
Please follow these guidelines for Proposal draft.
Attached below is a Literature Review for my subject Investing In the Future: The Case for Innovative
Agricultural Technologies. , sources(use google scholar for any additional sources), and a example of the proposal.
Note: Remember to include the name of the intended target reader (Farmers)(decision maker/their organization) in the Cover page, and throughout the paper as appropriate. You won’t, of course, send the proposal to this person, but it’s important to keep their context/environment in mind as you write the paper and try to show that you are “contexualizing” the proposal for them.
Introduction – Provide a very brief outline of the problem (or opportunity) to establish the context (include decision maker’s name/organization within the document to provide this linkage/context).
Problem & Scope – Articulate the current situation highlighting inefficiencies, gaps in knowledge, ineffective processes, etc.
Objective (Specific Aims) – Give briefly and concisely the features an effective solution will have. This may also be considered the “plan” of the proposal.
Qualifications: This may be a short section that identifies who will manage the project. This might be you, the author, but usually it is an experienced person inside the company in an appropriate role (i.e., manager of x).
Solution – Provide the specific proposed resolution to the problem or research to be conducted along with supporting rationale.
Implementation/Methodology – Give details on how the research will be conducted or how the solution will be implemented (be thorough and detailed). Be sure to include metrics to monitor to determine if you solution is successful. This will include a budget/cost section and a task (timeline) section.
Conclusion – Summarize the problem and solution. Using a professional style, specifically state you are seeking approval for the resources to initiate the project. -

1. Scope
1.1.
2.
This test method covers and specifies a procedure for the concurrent measurement of both
the dynamic viscosity, and the density of liquid petroleum products and crude oils, both
transparent and opaque using constant temperature bath CANNON CT-1000HT. (ASTM,
2021)
Significance and Use
2.1 Many petroleum products, and some non-petroleum materials, are used as lubricants,
and the correct operation of the equipment depends upon the appropriate viscosity of the
liquid being used. In addition, the viscosity of many petroleum fuels is important for the
estimation of optimum storage, handling, and operational conditions. Thus, the accurate
determination of viscosity is essential to many product specifications.
2.2 Tracking viscosity is important when it comes to understanding conditions deep
underground. The viscosity of oil and gas can be highly variable, depending on environmental
temperature and pressure, as well as the molecular makeup of the raw material. Pressure and
temperature changes cause viscosity readings to fluctuate dramatically, and can be irreversible.
These characteristics must be controlled precisely through the sample extraction, handling, and
analysis for fluid integrity. The viscosity system must safely
provide accurate, repeatable, and timely information while using as little sample as possible.
3. Principle
3.1. Kinematic viscosity is measured by noting the time it takes oil to travel through the orifice of
a capillary under the force of gravity (Figure 1). The orifice of the kinematic viscometer tube
produces a fixed resistance to flow Different sized capillaries are available to support fluids of
varying viscosity.
3.2. This measured time is then multiplied by a constant (associated to the particular tube) to
calculate the kinematic viscosity (force of gravity). (ASTM, 2021)

4. Responsibility
4.1. Analysts are responsible to perform the test and follow the procedure to obtain quality results.
5. Procedure
5.1 Measurement
5.1.1 Start up the bath for a couple of hours to let the temperature reaches the set point.
5.1.2 While the bath is running, heat up the sample in the oven.
5.1.3 Pick out the right tube, depending on the nature of the sample, and make sure it is
thoroughly cleaned with Toluene followed by a drying solvent (acetone).
Non-Business Use
5.1.4 Transfer the sample into the tube till the first red line, and let it settle down for a few
minutes to adapt with bath’s temperature (As shown in the image below).
5.1.5 Using the thumb finger, press on the top part of the tube (big opening), till the
sample move past the curved part of the tube.
5.1.6 Once the sample reaches the first red line that is situated at the bottom side of the
tube, hit the stopwatch until the sample reaches the second redline. Then, stop the
stopwatch.

5.1.7 Go to the table of “Manual Viscosity Tube Factors”, and select the size of the tube
you have used during the analysis, you will find the “Tube Factor”, multiply it by the number of
seconds you have obtained in the stopwatch to calculate the final result.
Result (mm2/s) = Tube Factor (mm2/s2) × Time (s) (ASTM, 2021)
5.1.8 Repeat all the steps above in order to obtain a second reading. Two determinations of the
kinematic viscosity of the test material are required. Report the average of the two duplicated
kinematic viscosity results to four significant figures, together with test temperature.

Conclusion & Critique
This test requires a great deal patience and precision. Yet, it provides extremely reliable results.
Furthermore, the technician has to try several tubes that fit the type of sample especially if he
received an unknown sample from a new field or well in which he has little to no idea about the
site or sample specifications.
This is not the case with modern instruments that came out recently in the markets in various
shapes and sizes. Particularly, automated ones which is capable of producing multiple results in a
swift manner (Time is a valuable resource in the petroleum industry). Most importantly, obtained
figures are dependable and match the ones taken from the manual procedure.
Automatic analyzers have a high price tag, mainly that come with extra features such as built-in-
oven and auto sampling, only a handful of oil corporates could afford these machines.
Another drawback worth noting before bringing this article to an end is that petroleum laboratories
around the world run the risk of losing or breaking the viscometer tubes during cleaning or
relocation, etc. Those tubes are made of glass, high-priced, and takes an extended amount of time
to receive it from outside the kingdom. Worst of all, it contains a hazardous substance called
Mercury which would cause multiple health issues such as poisoning and acute lung injury. It is
highly recommended to switch to automated viscometer to promote safety across the lab area.

Class presentation
SITUATION 2 (WEDNESDAY MORNING)
Juan Needs to Break the News to All Employees That Work Hours WIll Be Reduced
Juan Hernandez sighed in frustration. He’d slept poorly last night because of anxiety. Today was going to be a long day. He had lots of bad news to pass around-to employees, suppliers, and customers. Juan had delivered bad ne many times before, but it never got easy.
Juan gathered most of the employees for a 30-minute meeting. He broke the news that the company was tempora suspending any overtime work and cutting back on shifts. Juan knew some of the workers lived from month to mor and that these new changes would hurt them. When the meeting ended, Juan thought the employees still had som questions. Also, not all employees were at work today, so Juan needed to send out an email to clarify the news he delivered in the meeting. He definitely wanted to get out more complete information right away.
Task
How can Juan write a message to employees informing them that they will have reduced work hours without excessively reducing employee morale and commitment.
I am specifically tasked with delivering the bad news in a “timely manner”. Please be sure to show sympathy and understanding which is why we believe it is important not wait a long time before delivering the news to the employees at Marble Home Makers. My presentation should last a maximum of 2 minutes.
The presentation is 5-10 minutes. We are a group of 5 and my presentation is expected to be about two minutes and I have to use a reference while delivering the bad news.

“Exploring Rhetorical Conventions in Health Care Management: A Comparative Analysis of Writing for General Public and Expert Audiences”
Assignment Overview
Track down two different articles about the same topic and use them to illustrate the rhetorical conventions of your discipline. One of the articles should be intended to be read by “the general public” (i.e., non-specialists)—for example, newspaper or magazine articles, or most websites. The second article should be written for an audience of experts in the field—this could include articles in professional trade journals, conference presentations, peer-reviewed scholarly research, or other appropriate sources.
When you have selected and read each article, identify and analyze how each one uses the rhetorical categories of Purpose, Audience, Tone, Genre, and Context. Use that analysis to explain how writing within your professional field is different from writing for the general public.
Note: You are not trying to summarize the text or respond to the author’s arguments. The content—what the articles are about—is not really important (although I do encourage you to choose a topic that is interesting to you personally!). Instead, your goal is to understand the authors’ rhetorical choices, and how those choices illustrate the ways people in your field “talk” to each other.
Rhetorical Situation
According to Swales, “discourse communities possess and utilize specific genres.” What he means is that different disciplines use specific kinds of texts for specific purposes, and professionals within the field have specific (although often unstated) expectations about how those texts should be crafted and presented. These conventions cover everything from whether to use first or third person, when to use active or passive voice, how to cite sources, and more. To communicate effectively with professionals in your field, you need to be aware of those expectations.
Purpose: Identify, analyze, and compare the rhetorical features of documents both within and outside your discipline to help your readers understand the writing conventions of the field.
Audience: Fellow UB students (or those in the general public) who participate in your discourse community and would benefit from your explanation of appropriate writing behaviors in the field.
Genre: Professional report (note that this varies depending on the discipline—an accountant, a lawyer, and a marketing consultant will have different ideas about what a report is supposed to look like; part of your job is to decide what is appropriate in your own DC)
