Different techniques of writing scientific report

The different techniques of writing scientific report are-
(I).References:
Definition:
Reference is a list of the sources that a writer referred in the research work.
Characteristics:
  1. A reference can be used to support an argument.
  2. References are arranged alphabetically & numerically.
  3. References are those that are directly include in your actual text.
  4. References are those that have been referenced in your article or book.
(II).Bibliography:
Definition:
Bibliography is a list of the materials that a writer used during research work.
Characteristics:
  1. A bibliography may be comprehensive or selective.
  2. Long bibliographies may be published serially or in book form.
  3. A bibliography includes both in text citations & other sources, that are used to generated the idea.
  4. Also known as a list of works cited, a bibliography may appear at the end of a book or research paper.
(III).Abstract:
Definition:
Abstract is a brief summary of a research article, thesis & is often used to help the reader quickly ascertain the papers purpose.
Characteristics:
  1. State clearly the objectives of the study.
  2. Summarize the results.
  3. State the principal conclusions of the research.
  4. Concisely describe the method employed in gathering the data, processing & analysis.
(III).Keywords:
Definition:
Keywords are important words or concepts found in research question or thesis.
Characteristics:
  1. Keywords have a profound impact on search results.
  2. Retrieve more results than phrases or sentences.
  3. Keywords are basically an abbreviation of an abstract.
  4. About 4 to 10 words are used in the case of keywords.

Concentric zone theory

Theories of City Structure-Concentric Zone Theory Introduction: The Concentric or Zonal Theory of urban landuse was first proposed in 1923 by E.W. Burgess. He was a sociologist. The idea behind the concentric model is that the development of a city takes place outwards from its central area in a series of concentric circles to form zones.  Assumption:        i.           Cultural & social heterogeneity of the population.       ii.           Commercial-industrial base to the economy of the city.     iii.           Private ownership of property & economic competition for space.     iv.           Expanding area & population of the city.       v.    ...

Sources of Water Mass

Sub-surface water masses formation is more active in the North & South Atlantic & the South Pacific & moderately active in the North Pacific. The sub-surface water masses is not active in the Indian Ocean because of its location in the southern hemisphere. The following arte major source areas of the origin of subsurface water masses-                                            i.           Norwegian Sea Area,                                           ii.           Irminger ...

T-S Diagram

Definition: The diagram by which the salinity & temperature of the sea water are expressed is called T-S diagram. Prepared: T-S Diagram was prepared by Helland Harsenin (1916) with the objective to  determine the density of water at various depth. Characteristics: The Temperature ‘T’ & Salinity ‘S’ observed at the particular depth are represented by a single point in this diagram. The plotted points of T & S generally fall on a well defined curve, in which temperature & salinity decrease together. The density of water tends to increase with depth. In T-S Diagram, it may be observed that many combinations of temperature & salinity can yield the same density. In T-S Diagram, it may be observed that the density of water tends to increase with depth.  Diagrammatic Example: Significance: The T-S Diagram is a tool of great utility in Oceanography. The T-S Diagram is the way to visualize layering of water. The T-S Diagram helps in t...
