23. Formal Technical Report Abstract State briefly the purpose of the investigation Describe briefly how the results are obtained Give all required results in a concise and quantitative format if possible. Use words, no tables, figures and equations Normally no more than 250 words.

24. Formal Technical Report Nomenclature Completely lists the symbols that appear in your report, their definition and unit in a professional and consistent format. Refer to a published paper.

25. Formal Technical Report Introduction Include information on the subject of the investigation and its importance in industry Cite the references; Describe clearly the objectives of the lab.

26. Formal Technical Report Literature review or theory Provide sufficient theoretical background to the particular experiments Develop the equations or models to correlate your experimental data. detailed derivation placed in Appendix Describe how to obtain the model parameters and predict the particular system Cite the references

27. Formal Technical Report Apparatus and Experimental Procedures Specify the main apparatuses used make, model and use Describe the procedures Highlight important experimental conditions Give the names of quality of the materials. Make sure other people can repeat your work and obtain the same results if they follow your description.

28. Formal Technical Report Results and Discussions Present the significant experiment results required in the Lab Manual in words and graphs. State the data treatment processes and the outcomes. Discuss the results of experiments and model simulations or predictions. Compare your results with that in literatures if available. Logically discuss and lead to conclusions.

29. Attention Consistent format Conformity of units Figures or Tables in the body of text –Titles of figures, axes, and tables –Briefly state the experimental conditions –Experimental data: represented by unique symbol for each group of data in figures –Modeling curves: different lines with legends –Show model significance when fitting models

30. Figure 1. Modeling the effect of IS on Cr uptakes error bar: 95% confidence interval

31. Formal Technical Report Conclusions and Recommendations Conclusions should be summarized following the discussions. Lists your suggestions on how we can improve the labs.
