Do you cite sources in the conclusion paragraph?
No, the conclusion paragraph is intended to provide a summary of the main points discussed in the paper and restate the thesis statement. It is not necessary to cite sources in the conclusion paragraph as it is a conclusion based on the information and analysis presented in the body of the paper.
Special about the first line in paragraph?
The first line of a paragraph is important because it sets the tone and topic for the rest of the paragraph. It should grab the reader's attention and provide a clear focus for the content that follows. A strong first line can draw the reader in and entice them to continue reading.
Discuss the concept of Karhussen Locve expansion?
Concept of Karhunen-Loève expansion :
Karhunen-Loève theorem : In the theory of stochastic processes, the Karhunen-Loève theorem (named after Kari Karhunen and Michel Loève) is a representation of a stochastic process as an infinite linear combination of orthogonal functions, analogous to a Fourier series representation of a function on a bounded interval. In contrast to a Fourier series where the coefficients are real numbers and the expansion basis consists of sinusoidal functions (that is, sine and cosine functions), the coefficients in the Karhunen-Loève theorem are random variables and the expansion basis depends on the process. In fact, the orthogonal basis functions used in this representation are determined by the covariance function of the process. If we regard a stochastic process as a random function F, that is, one in which the random value is a function on an interval [a, b], then this theorem can be considered as a random orthonormal expansion of F.
In the case of a centered stochastic process {Xt}t [a, b] (where centered means that the expectations E(Xt) are defined and equal to 0 for all t) satisfying a technical continuity condition, admits a decomposition
Xt =∞∑k=1Zkek(t).
where Zk are pairwise uncorrelated random variables and the functions ek are continuous real-valued functions on [a, b] which are pairwise orthogonal in L2[a, b]. The general case of a process which is not centered can be represented by expanding the expectation function (which is a non-random function) in the basis ek .
Moreover, if the process is Gaussian, then the random variables Zk are Gaussian and stochastically independent. This result generalizes the Karhunen-Loève transform. An important example of a centered real stochastic process on [0,1] is the Wiener process and the Karhunen-Loève theorem can be used to provide a canonical orthogonal representation for it. In this case the expansion consists of sinusoidal functions.
The above expansion into uncorrelated random variables is also known as the Karhunen-Loève expansion or Karhunen-Loève decomposition. The empirical version (i.e., with the coefficients computed from a sample) is known as Proper orthogonal decomposition or Principal component analysis.
What should be included in a Motion to Deconsolidate?
I don't know what district you live in, or whether your particular district prefers one form over another. You can check with your local bankruptcy clerk and see if they have a form for Motions to Deconsolidate they prefer. One of the forms for deconsildation I have seen in Indiana says this: UNITED STATES BANKRUPTCY COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF INDIANA INDIANAPOLIS DIVISION In re: ) ) JOHN & JANE DOE, ) CASE NO. 05-12345-BHL-13) ) Debtors. ) MOTION TO DECONSOLIDATE BANKRUPTCY CASE Come Now the Debtors, pro se, and move to deconsolidate the above-captioned bankruptcy case into two separate bankruptcy cases, and in support hereof now state: 1. That Debtors are getting divorced. 2. That Debtor John Doe desires to convert to Chapter 7, but Debtor Jane Doe wants to remain in Chapter 13, so the instant case needs to be deconsolidated so that Debtor John Doe may then file his Notice of Conversion to Chapter 7. WHEREFORE, Debtors pray that the Court deconsolidate the above-captioned Chapter 13 case and for all other relief as may be just and proper in the premises. Respectfully submitted, ______________________ John Doe, Debtor _______________________ Jane Doe, Debtor The Court also charges a fee to deconsolidate that has to accompany the motion. Deconsolidation can cause complications in a case, so it is generally advisable to discuss it with an attorney who practices in your district prior to filing it (or have an attorney file it for you). Please be advised that nothing in this posting or in any other posting by me or my agent(s) should be construed as legal advice nor the formation of an attorney-client relationship. I am merely stating facts as I understand them, and I am not recommending any course of action or inaction to any person. It is advisable to consult an attorney in a face-to-face consultation prior to taking any action or inaction. I do not warrant the accuracy of any information herein.
What is an explicit paragraph?
Implicit means not actually stated. An implicit paragraph would be one where the author never actually writes out a formal topic or main idea sentence, but where he or she plainly gets the point across without every saying it. You can write implicit paragraphs only where the idea is so general or well known that almost everybody will get the idea just from reading, without it being stated in a separate sentence.
Some fables and folktales are good examples of implicit writing - they tell a story that, if you are familiar with the culture, clearly gives the reader a moral lesson without stating that lesson anywhere.
What kind of language should a description paragraph include?
Descriptive language that appeals to the senses
What are some transitions for a concluding paragraph?
Everyone seems to feel that he was born an expert in the judgement of artistic work. We do not feel this way about a hydraulic work, an electronic work, a legalistic work, or a mathematical, logical, or psychological work. For these, we call upon the experts. They have studied long and hard. We respect them for this. We do not, however, respect the long, hard study of the artist. We feel no shame, moreover, for this lack of respect. I don't know anything about art, we say, but I know what I like. We forget, when we say this, that we share this knowledge with lower animals. Any sow, knowing what she likes, can gurgle an oozy grunt in a rain wallow. But can a sow make it rain?
For these,and,however,moreover,we say,but:these are some of transitional devices that found in that paragraph.
How do you write introduction in geography?
The Greeks had two categories of knowledge: cosmography (the universe) and geography (the earth). The scholar Eratothenes introduced the term geography in 267 B.C.. He gave geography its early identity and its mission to explore, catalogue and map areas of the earth's surface. He calculated the circumference of the earth to within 7% of today's know distance and even predicted the differential heating of a round earth by the sun. The Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Chinese advanced the field of geography by documenting their worlds. Their findings and philosophies prevailed through the Dark Ages (500-1500 A.D.).
Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859) is considered the father of physical geography. He mapped and described the landscapes of Central and South America and parts of the U.S. and Russia.
Which of the following is a good way to create and develop strong and well developed paragraph?
Most paragraphs have a topic sentence, which is either the first or the last sentence. The other sentences in the paragraph support the idea of the topic sentence.
How can you use a cause-and-effect paragraph?
A cause and effect paragraph relates one or more cause to one or more effects.
So & so fell riding her bike. Effect: She skinned her knee. Her mother gave first aid.
So & so went to the doctor. Effect: She learned she had the flu. The doctor told her what to do.
You just went to the store looking for a certain type of food and you find that they just ran out. Effect 1: You buy something else for dinner. OR Effect 2: You wait till the next time they stock the food that you were looking for and eat something else today.
What are the four stages of paragraph writing?
you need a paragraph for the intro which is the attention grabber thesis statement (what the essay is going to be about) usually 5-10 sentences long then you have the three paragraphs for the body of the essay each paragraph would talk about you thesis that you put into your intro (my into is about money, fame, houses OK 1st body paragraph would be about money the second would be about fame the third would be about houses then you have your conclusion you the way you want to write it would be a summary of what you just wrote abut you don't want to copy the intro.
How do you start off a paragraph in a speech?
Good evening ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and we will get down to the matter at hand
How do you start a paragraph with eye catching words?
It's proven that words that are contriversial or shock inducing seem to get peoples attention more effectively than ordinary ones, this is due to the fact that they look back and double check that's really what they read before they reply or react negitively.
So in other words try to start your paragraph with something that sounds like or looks like penis, s*it, death, Osama Bin Laden, etc.
Anything dark or "Did that say what I think it said?" phrase causing.
Just nake sure it's actually another word or you might get in trouble from someone!
It got me an A+ I'll tell you that :D
I hope I helped and good luck!

What is topic sentence for saving money?
Good topic would be
1) The causes for the current economic situation
2) Government influence on the economy
3) Traditional/historical American economic trends
Hope these help.
Move the topic sentence if it will make it easy for the reader to follow what's going on. You need to be sure that the sentence is still supported by the other sentences, which now lead up to the topic instead of following it.
How can you describe spring in a paragraph?
You can talk about the types of animals, plant e.g daffodil's, tulips and blossom the different colour's weather as well e.g sunny, warm, scorching rainy, chilly, horrible, lovely, cold, ect ect.
So you can describe spring in a paragraph.

What sentence would be the topic sentence in a paragraph about a school athletic team?
how to change a soccer game technically.
How do you write a paragraph about the value of discipline in life?
This question has already been answered. It was originally merged with the correct answer, but has been taken out of the merge several times. Writing it over and over in slightly different forms is not going to get WikiAnswers to write you a paragraph to copy.

What purpose does a topic sentence serve?
Tells your reader what your main point is; all the other sentences exist to prove that main point through details/examples and your concluding analysis of those details (most writers do a poor job with the last part: analysis--either simply "telling" the reader that his/her evidence proves the main point made in the topic sentence, or skipping this part all together).
How do you know when a new paragraph begins?
The sentence is indented. (A few spaces over from the left)
So, I'm just writing to show what it looks like. Usually a paragraph has a few sentences in it, at least, organized around the same idea.
But when you want to make a new paragraph, you do it like that. The rest of the sentences in this paragraph will go all the way to the left, but not that first sentence.
So this answer has three paragraphs in it.
What is the connection between sentences and paragraphs?
so the paragraphs make sense and that the paragraphs link from one to another
What is a good topic sentence for a paper on your name?
Have you ever wondered where your name came from?
What kind of paragraph begins with a dot or other symbol?
an ? paragraph is a paragraph that begins with a dot or other symbol
How do you repair a fragment sentence?
Read your sentence out loud-- only what you wrote. Is it a complete sentence? Or, is the other half in the next sentence? Does the sentence have a subject and verb (actor and action)? Stop after each period-- if you have to ask "What then?" or "So what?" or "because what" after a period, you might have a sentence fragment.
Example:
Fragment: First sentence - He was going because. (because what?)
Fragment: Second sentence: He bought tickets.
Full sentence put together: He was going because he bought tickets.
