Examples of due process in the following topics:

  • The Right to Due Process

    • Due process rights provides legal protections while a citizen is charged by the courts and other legal procedures.
    • At a basic level, procedural due process is essentially based on the concept of fundamental fairness.
    • The term substantive due process (SDP) is commonly used in two ways: first to identify a particular line of case law, and second to signify a particular attitude toward judicial review under the Due Process Clause.
    • The term substantive due process began to take form in 1930s legal casebooks as a categorical distinction of selected due process cases, and by 1950 had been mentioned twice in Supreme Court opinions.
    • Summarize the protections afforded by the Due Process Clauses of the 5th and 14th Amendments
  • Valuing the Target and Setting the Price

    • To prepare an appropriate bid for a target company, the buyer has to accurately value the target company through the due diligence process.
    • This valuation process is referred to as due diligence.
    • The due diligence process framework can be divided into nine distinct areas:
    • In business transactions, the due diligence process varies for different types of companies.
    • It is essential that the concepts of valuations (shareholder value analysis) be linked into a due diligence process.
  • Transcytosis

    • Transcytosis is a process by which molecules are transported into the capillaries.
    • Due to the function of transcytosis as a process that transports macromolecules across cells, it can be a convenient mechanism by which pathogens can invade a tissue.
    • These examples illustrate that transcytosis is vital to the process of pathogenesis for a variety of infectious agents.
  • Potential external relationship obstacles

    • Some countries have not achieved the desired benefits from outsourcing, because they have not realized the expected cost reductions anticipated from outsourcing their business processes to a third party.
    • Losing control over the outsourced process is not uncommon.
    • Additionally, problems and issues may emerge due to the integration of services and systems provided by the vendor.
    • Problems within the networked organization usually arise due to the failure in identifying all stakeholders and network partners.
    • Therefore, when choosing a supplier or a partner in the networked organization, having similar goals, missions, and similar ways of performing the business processes are vital for the success of the relationship.
  • Lasers

    • A laser is a device that emits monochromatic light through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of photons.
    • It does so through a process of optical amplification based on the stimulated emission of photons.
    • As the incident photon passes by, the rate of transitions of the excited atom can be significantly enhanced beyond that due to spontaneous emission.
    • This "induced" decay process is called stimulated emission.
    • Identify process that generates laser emission and the defining characteristics of laser light
  • Reconciling Cash Accounts and Bank Statements

    • This can be due to a few reasons.
    • The differences could also be due to mistakes, either by the bank or in the company's books.
    • The differences could also be due to something more troublesome, such as theft.
    • This process is important because it ensures that any differences are due to the timing of payments and not because of a mistake or theft.
    • There may be some cases where the process reveals a legitimate transaction that was not recorded in the books.
  • The Communication Process

    • Organizations must keep in mind the internal and external factors that influence audience perception during the communications process.
    • People play different roles – friend, parent, boss, client, customer, or employee – depending on the exchange during the communications process.
    • Thus, we input and perceive advertising messages – a television commercial or a salesperson's pitch – using this process of perception.
    • Some people may process the humor in a company advertisement more quickly than others due to factors such as age or culture.
    • The communications process involves two or more persons exchanging words or symbols.
  • Quality Control and Assurance

    • QA includes managing the quality of raw materials, assemblies, products, components, services related to production, management processes, production processes, and inspection processes.
    • The critical takeaway here is that QA equates to process observations.
    • Due to the high degree of vendor dependency, many corporations find their manufacturing processes are conducted outside of their organization.
    • This can lead to difficulties in maintaining process quality.
    • Many processes, such as assembly lines, help ensure quality assurance and control by streamlining the production process.
  • Chemical Composition of Urine

    • Urine is a liquid by-product of the body secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination and excreted through the urethra.
    • Urea is essentially a processed form of ammonia, which is non-toxic to mammals, unlike ammonia, which can be highly toxic.
    • It is processed from ammonia and carbon dioxide in the liver.
    • Proteinuria- protein content in urine, often due to leaky or damaged glomeruli.
    • Oliguria- abnormally small amount of urine, often due to shock or kidney damage.
  • Modeling

    • Two processes are responsible for all three-dimensional art: (1) the additive process, in which material is built up to create form, and (2) the subtractive process, where form is created by removing material from an existing mass, such as a chunk of stone, wood or clay.
    • Additive and subtractive processes are not mutually exclusive; it is not uncommon for three-dimensional art to make use of both processes.
    • Modeling clays vary greatly in material composition and production processes.
    • After the modeling process has taken place, these clays are baked at very high temperatures in a process known as 'firing' to create ceramics such as terra cotta, earthenware, stoneware and porcelain.
    • Papier-mâché has a long history as a sculpting material due to its relatively simple composition.
