I want a simple and effective study to find solutions to a problem for which there is no solution. I will include two studies for which we did not find a solution, and I want you to search for solutions that are not available on Google or in other studies, meaning they are rare. I want details for this study with a chart.
1.Standardized Project Management Documentation“
Lack of standardized project management documentations (e.g. Unified templates) leading to inefficiencies and difficulty to consolidate information.
2.H2S in Flares“
What?
Deploying technology to remove H2S before flaring
Why?
Smaller carbon footprint of OQ E&P, environmental compliance, protecting local community
Future impact/value:
Avoidance of environmental penalties
“Iron in Feedstock“
What?
3.We are excited to announce an open Fintech challenge inviting innovative proposals for financial solutions aimed at addressing key challenges faced at both the entity and customer levels. Whether you have an idea that can streamline financial operations, enhance customer experiences, or solve specific financial problems, we want to hear from you. This is your opportunity to showcase your creativity and impact the financial landscape with your solutions, be it through cutting-edge technology, new service models, or unique financial products. Join us in revolutionizing the way we approach financial issues and contribute to a brighter, more efficient financial future.
Online detection of presence of iron in feedstock going into RPI plant
Why?
Presence of iron in feedstock leads to major disruptions to the refinery’s operations and significant cost.
I have attached chart that more clear to do same for all case study 1,2,3. With details and analysis with solutions. Remember,I don’t want the answers from Google or book ,I need as rare not implemented anywhere.

along with the 3 videos i attached watch the following video tutorial:

After you have watched the tutorials, please complete the following tasks. Post your responses to this discussion thread.
Let us assume you work for a financial services company that is considering using ChatGPT to write email communication with its customers. 
Your supervisor has asked you to conduct research on the use of ChatGPT in the workplace in general and on its use for customer correspondence.
The instructions you have been given by your supervisor are quite broad. But let us assume that this is the directive you have been given.
For this reason, you will conduct a very general search on the use of ChatGPT in the workplace. You are not quite sure how to focus the topic, but you know that you would like to pursue this general topic and focus it later.
Using the strategies discussed in library video tutorial #1, search on some terms and find four articles on this topic. Your search can be quite broad at this stage. Try to use some search phrases that require that you use quotation marks, as the video demonstrates. Please write the topic on which you searched and the search terms you used to search on it. In addition, please write titles of the four articles and the journals in which they appeared. You don’t have to cite anything in APA format, or anything of that nature. Just post the titles and the journal names.
Then, applying the tips in library video tutorial #2, focus your search from question #2 by using the SU-subject terms option from the drop-down menu for one of the rows. -How many search results do you find after limiting the search by using SU-subject terms?
Using the strategies discussed in library video tutorial #2, conduct a new search on a phrase related to your major or to a workplace topic of interest to you. As the video demonstrates, make sure to use quotation marks around the phrase you search on.
-What phrase(s) did you search on?
-How many search results do you get?
Using the strategies discussed in library video tutorial on the use of the asterisk, conduct the same search, but this time use one of your terms and place an asterisk next to a form of the term in order to search on all forms of that term.
-What term did you search on with the asterisk?
-How many search results do you get?
Finally, using the strategies mentioned in library video tutorial #3, locate the subject guide (formerly called the research guide) for your major. If you have not declared a major yet, please select one that interests you. Peruse the research guide for that major. Describe to the rest of the class in a few sentences any interesting resources you discovered.

a formal thesis proposal shall be prepared in accordance with the standards of the academic discipline. The formal proposal must provide a clear and lucid description of a question or problem and a proposed method of answering the question or solving the problem. Capstone thesis faculty must approve the proposal before students move on to the next stage of the process. The proposal should explain the question or problem to be investigated and convince the thesis professor that the question or problem merits investigation. It should show that the student has read the relevant and recent literature on the subject and it should contain a list of academically appropriate resources consulted during the preliminary stages of research.
In general, the thesis proposal should include background information related to the research topic, purpose of the research, methodology, and analytic procedures to be used. Proposal drafting is considered a learning process and helps students avoid oversights and possible mistakes. For further guidance on what the thesis should contain, see the Homeland Security Program Exit Overview and the End of Program Assessment Manual).
