EXERCISE 5-5 Examine the following Forewords and Introductions from technical articles and reports. Each is missing an overt statement of one of the conflicting terms Stating Problems 107 of its problem statement. See if you can identify or easily reconstruct both the A and B terms of each problem statement. A Subject: Vacuum Filter Sludge Cake: Accuracy of Present Production Data Foreword: Slowdowns and necessary repairs have occurred in the incineration area of the Sewage Treatment Plant, costing $2 million last year alone. These problems may have occurred because of inaccurate data on the amount of sludge cake being produced and delivered to individual furnaces. Thus, Dennis Moore, the Chief Project Engineer, requested that I investigate our data on sludge cake production and suggest improvements in monitoring it if those are necessary. The purpose of this report is to document the unreliability of our present monitoring technique and to recommend a better one. B The Search for Life on Mars Is there life on Mars? The question is an interesting and legitimate scientific one, quite unrelated to the fact that generations of science fiction writers have populated Mars with creatures of their imagination. Of all the extraterrestrial bodies in the solar system, Mars is the one most like the earth, and it is by far the most plausible habitat for extraterrestrial life in the solar system. For that reason a major objective of the Viking mission to Mars was to search for evidences of life.?
