The University of Mumbai awarded PhD degrees to 2,904 candidates in the last decade. This means the varsity gave out more than a doctorate a day, if one discounts the holidays.
While numbers tell one side of the story, the quality of research work is a concern for university authorities. Old-time faculty and research guides said just about 2% of the work done by PhD fellows makes it to international peer-reviewed journals.
"Like water finds its own level, every researcher finds his own journal," quipped a research guide, recalling the discussion he has with faculty each time they discuss the poor quality of PhD theses being churned out of the university portals.
Candidates spend years in the pursuit of a PhD, later producing nothing of relevance, said a former vice-chancellor. Mysteriously, almost every Indian university has at least five theses that analyze the functioning of a co-operative bank in a particular district. "As if a co-operative bank in Jalgaon is going to be very different from the one in Jalaun," he added.
Rajpal Hande, head of the board of colleges and university development, said, "The quality of PhD theses produced by institutions across the world is a matter of concern. Quality research is being conducted only in some pockets of the world. In India too, the quality of our research is something we need to immediately address."
He felt the University Grants Commission's decision to conduct an entrance exam is the first step in ensuring that the right kind of students get in.
But there is another thought too. Abhay Pethe, head of the economics department, said if quality issues need to be addressed, authorities should be stringent about the output.
"Allow flexibility at the input stage. But put a filter at the output level. There is another peculiarity about Mumbai—a large number of students who enrol for PhD in social sciences do so years after completing their master's. There ought to be some consideration for them.

Eden Theological Seminary has created the Dr. Enoch Hammond Oglesby Endowed Scholarship to honor the contributions of the scholarship's namesake.
Eden Theological Seminary has created the Dr. Enoch Hammond Oglesby Endowed Scholarship to honor the contributions of the scholarship's namesake.
Oglesby has been a prominent theologian for decades. Having earned his doctorate from Boston University, Oglesby began his teaching at Eden in 1978, where he served on its faculty for almost 30 years.
Oglesby, a member of the African-American clergy community, has been instrumental in providing guidance to many theologians and pastors serving the African-American communities around the world. Oglesby has published more than 10 books and has been a keynote speaker at various conferences and events.
"I'm just so delighted that after a great deal of hard work and persistence, the first endowed scholarship in Eden's over 160-year history, created specifically to support our African American students, has been initiated," said the Rev. Dr. David Greenhaw, Eden's president. "Dr. Oglesby has meant so much to the Eden community — and the entire African-American community — that it's only fitting this scholarship be in his name."
Oglesby grew up in Earle, Ark., on a cotton farm. He followed his belief that education should be accessible to all and he worked to follow his call to higher education, which ultimately led him to Boston University.
Eden Theological Seminary, a seminary of the United Church of Christ, educates women and men for ministry, and is located at 475 E. Lockwood Ave. in Webster Groves.

Phd & Research Courses on offer worldwide
Phd & Research Courses on offer worldwide....
Postgraduate study in countries such as the UK or the USA is intensive, so the courses are of relatively short duration. This is a significant advantage for many students and their employers, since it means that the maximum professional advantage is coupled with the minimum time away from work.
Independent study, strong research base
Research study, whether at Masters or Doctoral level, involves individual supervision by a faculty member who has an interest in the topic.
This emphasis on personal guidance and independent study is a key characteristic feature of research degrees in countries such as Britain and America - and is one of the reasons postgraduates possess the kind of high-level skills suited to careers in business, applied research and higher education.
Which course?
Research degrees are awarded to students who have completed a period of original research and submitted a thesis for examination.
A research degree – and especially a PhD – is the ultimate opportunity for students who want to pursue their own specialist interests.
Research is extremely stimulating and exciting as it involves producing something that is original. The student is the expert in that subject and will gradually come to know as much as his or her supervisor!
The PhD is a research programme normally extending over three or more years, usually culminating a dissertation or thesis of 70,000 – 100,000 words.
The thesis must present original findings that are, in principle, publishable. In some subjects such as art, however, the thesis may be replaced by an original major work. And in social sciences, several published articles may be accepted in place of a single long thesis.
A Ph.D. offers the following opportunities to international students:
to produce an original piece of research, which may mean an important boost to the student’s career
to become one of the world’s leading experts in a particular field
to receive a sound training in research methodology and practice – especially important for those intending to pursue an academic career
All of the above are widely recognised as advantages of a Ph.D., especially in the higher education world.
New types of doctoral programmes have been developed in recent years aimed at experienced professionals in industry or professionals such as education, engineering and clinical pyschology.
Research programmes can vary from one to three years or more, depending on the nature of the programme.
Not only is there a wide choice of courses, there is also a wide variety of different ways in which they can be studied. For instance, you can study your course in your home country by distance learning, or study modular courses where you study one part of a course at a time – and when you choose to study them.
What to expect
Students undertaking a research degree initiate and develop their topic under the supervision of one or two academics. To be successful, research students must demonstrate intellectual independence. They will be expected to work on their own to a large extent but will meet their supervisor(s) at least every few weeks.
Learning costs less in the UK
Postgraduate degrees in the UK can be completed in a shorter time than those in many other countries, as courses are more intensive.
This makes the cost of achieving a postgraduate qualification in the UK considerably less than elsewhere. You only have to pay fees for one year and you only have to live away from home for one year.
So though annual costs may look higher in the UK than elsewhere, the overall cost is lower. This is even more true if you can find a course that is based in one of the less expensive parts of the UK.
There are a number of scholarships available to students planning to study a postgraduate course in the UK. These include British Chevening Scholarships and those that are available through the British Council Fellowship Programme and the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP). Details of these and other scholarship schemes can be obtained from your local British Council office.
All international students staying in the UK for more than six months are guaranteed free hospital treatment plus reduced dentists’ and opticians’ fees through the UK National Health Service. Doing away with the need to include health insurance in your budget.
How do I find out more?
To find out more about postgraduate courses in the UK click your mouse on www.educationuk.org
This will give you access to information on the range of courses available in the UK.

Professor Anne Habiby, Co-founder and Director, AllWorld, introduced the organisation and spoke about how India Fast Growth 25 was started. She said that the 25 companies created about 7,000 jobs since their establishment and these firms are expected to grow by 50 percent or more in the next six months.

Scholarship Guidelines need?
Guiding principle your Scholarship ,,,
Basic Scholarship Guidelines
These days it seems you can find just about anything on the internet, including college scholarship money. Since the advent of the World Wide Web, free information has become steadily more accessible and plentiful and we have made it a point to provide as much accurate scholarship information as possible, including basic scholarship guidelines we hope will keep you on the road to free money for college, working daily to make our database the most accurate, complete scholarship database on the internet. We do this with the help of scholarship providers and visitors to Scholarships.com. So many people have been willing to take a few minutes to let us know what they like best about our site and, sometimes more importantly, what could be improved and this has made all the difference in the information we are able to offer and the free scholarship search we provide. Below are a few basic steps you can follow if you use our site and would like to help us to continue to improve it.
If you are someone who is using Scholarships.com to find money for college, be sure to review your results thoroughly before contacting us with suggestions and then, if you have questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
1.Read Summaries.
Be sure to read the award summaries for each scholarship in your search results before you contact the provider. Also, you might want to sort the results by due date, as you might like to know which ones are due right away so you can go after those first. This is a particularly effective strategy if you are getting a later start searching for money, as there are fewer opportunities as the year wears on.
2.Relevance
At times, you might be wondering why you are seeing a particular scholarship listed among your search results. If this is the case, just glance at the upper left side of the award page. You will see your profile and, just below that, a list of criteria by which you were matched with this particular scholarship award. If you see a criterion you feel is inaccurate or ambiguous, please let us know and we will look into it.
3.A Little Help?
Scholarships.com’s free college scholarship search and financial aid information is the product of many years of refinement and effort, aided by participation on the part of scholarship providers and searchers alike. If you have a problem, let us know. If you love our site, don’t be shy, either. We love all forms of feedback and take great pride in the fact that we are constantly improving with the help of those who benefit most from our service. Knowing what we are doing right and on what we might improve are the keys to our continued growth and success.
4.Be Specific.
Please be sure to give us particulars when emailing us with any and all comments or suggestions. If your comment or question concerns a particular award, give us the Scholarship ID Number and articulate what the problem is. We will investigate and, if appropriate, make the appropriate changes. If you get an error message, let us know what page you were on when you got the error (taken straight from the URL bar at the top of your browser window- i.e. http://www.scholarships.com/main.aspx). Copy and paste the text from the error you have received into the body of your email. It is very rare that this sort of thing happens, but if it does, this will help us correct the problem much more quickly.
5.Suggest Away. We’re Listening.
Nobody can work and continue to improve in a vacuum. We have, over the years, received a lot of email that has helped us shape the site you see today at Scholarships.com. We take this type of correspondence very seriously and make every effort to implement any and all reasonable suggestions. It may take weeks or even months, depending upon the suggestion or request, but if we see the merit in it and/or get enough requests for it, it will get done.
These are just a few ways I think we can continue to improve the service we provide. It is perfectly natural and more than understandable to become frustrated with the process of paying for your (or finding a way to pay for your child’s) post-secondary education. However, you have to find a way to count to ten and convince yourself that it is not insurmountable- that you can and will do it. And if we are able to help you accomplish this goal don’t hesitate to let us know how we have and/or can best help you to help yourself.

Online Degrees:If you have been contemplating on taking one of the online degrees no matter if it is a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, an MBA
If you have been contemplating on taking one of the online degrees no matter if it is a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree, an MBA, a PHD or just a certificate course in a certain field of your interest, you can get money to fund it. Almost all online colleges provide you with financial help. There are many an online college that can provide you with an online degree in just about every field whether it is engineering, computer science, biology, teaching, law, accounting, interior design, nursing, education, business, marketing and whatever else you can think of.
A lot of people try to make use of government money to get online degrees whether they are affiliated to a regular college or university or whether it is an online college that they are attending. Degrees online are becoming extremely popular nowadays as more and more people are finding out that they can attend online colleges in order to get an online degree at their own pace without any pressure especially when they are working at the same time. They can complete the online course in as much time as is convenient to them depending on the time that they can spare.
Government financial aid is pretty easy to obtain. Aid can come in the form of grants as well as loans which could be education loans as well. If you apply for a government loan you might be lucky to get a grant or you might get a loan. The best way to find out whether you can get financial help for you online degree is to get in touch with the online college and find out whether they are accredited and if so whether they have tie-ups with financial help programs via the government or otherwise. A lot of people who have completed their online degrees have done so by using financial aid only. A lot of online colleges also have their own plans for payment without getting financial aid from the government. Only make sure they are accredited to the Department of Education in that region.
You can also get scholarship from charitable institutions. Online courses and programs are very much accepted by employers today and some of them will even pay their employees to get some of these online degrees. If you are already having a job, speak to your boss and see if he will bear part or all of the cost of your tuition, classes or courses. If the courses online that you will be taking are related to your job, then chances are he will sponsor your online degree.
If in any case you need money to take the courses online and get yourself an online degree, you can make an attempt and get yourself a scholarship or grant or at least a loan. Often it means going the extra mile but then it is well worth it. So don’t say that you don’t have enough money for the online degrees and stay put; make an attempt to find a financial aid.
Start by checking all the online degrees: http://www.courses.com available here! You are sure to find at least one online degree: http://www.courses.com to suit your requirement.

Top students awarded PhD scholarships to Cambridge
Three New Zealand university students have been awarded scholarships from the Rutherford Foundation to undertake their PhDs at the University of Cambridge in England.
Two of the scholarships are funded jointly by the Rutherford Foundation and the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust, with the third also supported by the Cavendish Laboratory. This laboratory is where Lord Ernest Rutherford conducted his ground-breaking physics research
The successful scholarship recipients are Julian Peat and Naomi White, both from the University of Otago, and Yvette Perrott from the University of Auckland.
The scholarships cover all course and college fees at the University of Cambridge, annual return airfares to New Zealand and a yearly allowance.
The Rutherford Foundation, which awards the scholarships, is a trust set up by the Royal Society of New Zealand to provide support to emerging New Zealand scientists.
The Foundation’s chairperson Margaret Brimble says it aspires to retain New Zealand’s outstanding young scientists in New Zealand.
“It is hoped that these bright young scientists will eventually return to New Zealand to continue their quest for knowledge, thus contributing to New Zealand’s economic growth.”
Whilst at Cambridge University Julian Peat will be studying ribonucleic acid (RNA) which is the building block of genetic material. He is particularly interested in working out how RNA acts and interacts with cell components, with a view to using this information to drive therapeutic advances.
Naomi White aims to study the improvement of social and communication skills in children with autism using musical intervention programmes. She has a background in psychology and psychopathology with strong musical interests.
Yvette Perrott has an interest in astronomy and astrophysics and will be hosted by the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge. She has experience in gravitational microlensing, a technique used to discover planets around distant stars, their sizes and relative distances. In addition to astrophysics, she is interested in relativity and quantum physics and has a strong track record in languages.
ENDS

Background information
The Royal Society of New Zealand established the Rutherford Foundation to provide funding for PhD education, postdoctoral research and early career development in science.
The Foundation is named after Ernest Rutherford who, in 1894, was awarded an 1851 Exhibition Scholarship that allowed him to travel overseas to carry out research in physics. He chose to attend the University of Cambridge which had just begun to accept research students from overseas.
The Rutherford Foundation provides support to those demonstrating a passion for science and technology and the potential to excel in a research environment. It offers two PhD scholarships funded jointly with the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust and a third supported by the Cavendish Laboratory (in physics).
Permission to name the Foundation after Lord Rutherford was generously given by his great granddaughter Mary Fowler, Professor of Earth Sciences at the University of London.
His Excellency The Hon Anand Satyanand, Governor-General of New Zealand, lends his mana to the

Constraint Reasoning
Machine Learning and Perception
Online Services and Advertising
Programming, Principles, and Tools
Systems and Networking
Application Process
The 2009 application deadline has passed. No additional proposals will be accepted for this year.
Applications are accepted only through a student’s institution, such as from the PhD supervisor or a departmental secretary. We do not accept applications from students directly.
Applications should contain the following:
An online Web form that includes contact details of supervisor(s) and possible reviewers. Ideally, one of the suggested reviewers should be from Microsoft Research. If no suitable Microsoft researcher can be identified, it may mean that the proposed research project is too far from our areas of interest.
A project proposal of maximum four (4) A4 pages in 10-point font, including references.Accepted formats: plain text or Microsoft Office Word only.
The research project proposal should address the following points:
Evidence that the research supervisor would be suitable to supervise of a PhD student for the proposed research project.This may include a short list of recent and relevant publications of the supervisor.
Evidence that the department or laboratory offers a suitable environment for research in the proposed area.
Basis for the research (motivations and brief state-of-the-art, including key references).
Hypothesis under investigation and main aims.
Research strategy with significant milestones if identified.
Methods of research (for example, main techniques, experiments, and trials).
Details of any collaboration with other departments/research bodies.
Expected outcomes (for example, software tools).
Applications must be complete and received by the announced deadline to be considered. Proposals received after this deadline will not be considered.
Country-Specific Application Guidelines
GermanyIn Germany, some PhD scholarships are offered to some students of the International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science and the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. For other institutions, please follow the instructions on this page.
United KingdomIn the United Kingdom, we are able to offer co-funding with the UK Research Councils through the Dorothy Hodgkin Postgraduate Awards (DHPA). Interested applicants simply need to tick the appropriate box on the application form. The DHPA FAQ explains the benefits of this programme.
Selection Process
Applications are on a competitive basis and we anticipate a high level of demand for scholarships (the average selection rate has been around 20 percent over the last 5 years). Following receipt of such applications, each is carefully reviewed by researchers from universities and from Microsoft Research and the best proposals are selected. For reference, you may consult the evaluation form sent to reviewers.
After a ranking based on the ‘marks’ of the reviewers (when the number of reviews permit it), a short list of applications is drawn and are then ranked manually per research area by Microsoft Researchers using all the information provided to us by the expert reviewers as well as additional information such as the relevance of the research to our particular interests, the interest of one of our researchers to get involved in the project, and so on. The rankings from each research areas are then combined, trying to keep a good balance between each area.
Decisions are made solely at the discretion of Microsoft Research and all decisions are final.
Supervisors have up to one year (from the date of notification) to propose the best and most suitable student possible to carry out the proposed research project.
The student, who can be of any nationality, should not have started his or her PhD before September 2009.
After a student is identified, we request a CV and two strong letters of recommendation (in English and preferably not from the supervisor) from professors familiar with the student’s work and we may decide to interview the student by telephone.
The terms of the agreement between the institution of the successful applicant and Microsoft Research have been developed over the course of the last few years with input from numerous research organisations around Europe to ensure that they are appropriate and equitable.See: Terms and conditions of the sponsorship ........

Prepare for a scholarship interview?but how?.........
Recommendation #4: Follow the guidelines of the interview and make sure to give the interviewer time to ask his or her questions. Interview committees usually explain the schedule or plan for the interview at the start of the process. Give the committee members time to describe the schedule even if you think you know what it is. Usually the process is that interviewees are asked a few standard questions followed by more thought-provoking ones and then are provided with an opportunity to ask a question at the end. In short, you will have a chance to talk. Nonetheless, since there are time limits on interviews, it means that you should not memorize a speech. In fact it is best to avoid memorized speeches and presenting them without pause. Skilled interviewers will recognize these quickly and many will not be impressed. Stick to sharing general thoughts and utilizing discourse skills that you have practiced in your preparation sessions.
Recommendation #5: Answer the questions with full, thoughtful answers. Donors who fund scholarship programs want diversity. They want people who represent many different opinions and backgrounds, and who can explain how they fit those concepts of diversity. Answering either “yes or no” or with brief, one-sentence response doesn’t give the interview panel or committee much information to work with. It doesn’t help you draw an interesting personal profile of yourself or achieve a successful interview.
Recommendation #6: Finally, be yourself and don’t worry about the results. Try to see the interview as a learning experience and an opportunity to meet new people. Being able to think about varying questions posed by different people will help you in your future. Think positively about your experience. If you don’t succeed this time, there may be other opportunities in the future. Try and prepare again. Farouk Al Salihi, a U.S. Department of State PLUS scholarship grantee and now a master’s degree candidate at the London School of Economics writes, “Be confident, do not lie, relax, and go to the interview keeping in mind that if you ‘blow’ it, it will not be the end of the world—nor the end of you either.”

IITs strategise for more PhD scholars
Efforts include joint MTech and PhD degrees and streamlining policies so that thesis papers are cleared within two months
With research becoming a clear focus area at all Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and with the 20-30 per cent growth in sponsored research, the premier technology institutes are now targeting a 10-30 per cent increase in PhD scholars.
Globally, China produces the maximum number of research scholars per year. It is widely recognised that there will be substantially more PhD engineers and scientists in China in 2010 than in the United States, as China produces three times the number of engineers per year. Smalley, a nobel prize-winning scientist from Rice University, recently concluded that by 2010, 90 per cent of all PhD physical scientists and engineers in the world will be Asians living in Asia, and among Asian PhD engineers and scientists, most will be produced by China.
India, therefore, is in a hurry to catch up. IIT-Kharagpur (IIT-KGP), for instance, awarded 212 PhDs this year, of which nearly 70 per cent had studied engineering. Last year, the institute had awarded 167 PhDs.
“We want at least 30 per cent of our students to be research scholars, double of what it is right now. We are making several enticements for that, like joint MTech and PhD degrees and streamlining policies so that thesis papers are cleared within two months instead of one year which is usually the norm,” said Damodar Acharya, director of IIT-KGP.
The institute has also introduced joint degree programmes with other reputed universities in India and abroad. A student admitted to such joint degree programmes has to spend upto two years in the partnering university and would have a joint guide. Through this programme, the institute aims at producing high quality faculty who will have exposure to at least two different environments.
The institute from its own fund supports written airfare up to two visits of the students to the partnering university. The local expenses of the student are taken care of by the partnering university.
At IIT-Bombay, 140 PhDs graduated in 2007, 200 in 2008 and around 175 in 2009. "We are incubating our PhD students using their intellectual properties. This should encourage students and make them feel more secure about their research findings," said Rangan Banerjee, dean of research and development at IIT Bombay.
At IIT Madras, from 2006 to 2009 there has been a 50 per cent increase in PhD intake. Currently the institute has around 1100 PhD scholars, informed Job Kurian, dean of sponsored research at IIT Madras. IIT Madras aims to have a 1:1 ratio between research scholars and undergraduates, from 1:5 ratio currently, said Kurian.
IIT-Delhi has seen a 23 per cent increase in the number of PhD degrees given out this year. A total number of 181 PhD degrees was awarded as compared to 147 last year. "This is a phenomenal achievement and is contrary to belief that we are very poor on research output," said M Balakrishnan, dean of post-graduate studies at IIT-Delhi.
IIT Bhubaneswar, one of the newest IITs in India, is encouraging faculty to join the institute with their own research scholars. M Chakraborty, director of IIT Bhubaneswar, said that the institute is also making provision for upto Rs 5 lakh research grant to a faculty. This would help them to invest in necessary infrastructure they require to carry out their research, like softwares, hardwares, books and journals, etc.
Student researchers get a grant of Rs 15,000 per month. International exposure for faculty and student researchers and presenting their research papers at international conferences is another priority area for IIT Bhubaneswar.
IIT Gandhinagar (IIT-G), another new IIT, has also started focusing on establishing the institute as a preferred destination for research students by initiating quality research activities on the campus.
The institute, which was established in 2008, has just received its second batch of undergraduate students, but is already working on lines of creating a centre for research.
Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal had recently said the country's premier Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) must focus on quality research and act as a catalyst to boost technical education in India.
"This is not only necessary for the economic growth of the country but also for the IITs to make the transition as creator of knowledge. Without a large base of well educated undergraduates in the country it is difficult to imagine any significant growth in research output from these institutions," Sibal said.

Opportunity for a PhD Studentship in Characterisation of parameters to identify Partial Discharge in voids in power cables – vented and unvented.
Applications are invited for a full-time PhD research Studentship within the School of Engineering and Computing.
Applications are invited for a full-time PhD research Studentship within the School of Engineering and Computing. The studentship is for a period of three years, subject to satisfactory progress and provides payment of tuition fees at the UK/EU rate plus an annual stipend of £13,900 [please note that students from outside the EU are required to pay the difference between International and EU fees, this would amount to £6,100 per annum]. The successful candidate is expected to undertake up to 6 hours of academic support activity per week.
Project Description
The High Voltage and Insulation Diagnostics Group at Glasgow Caledonian University is involved in both basic research programmes and industrially sponsored projects. The main focus of the research work of the HVIDG is identifying the precursors of failure mechanisms in insulation materials. The reason for this focus is to allow asset managers to prevent loss of power to customers; the ability to do this is still not fully successfully developed. One important precursor is Partial Discharge (PD) activity, which results when high levels of electrical stress exist upon poor insulation. Signals which are propagated from the PD can, in some cases, be related to the conditions at and around the fault.
PD results from faults in power insulation systems and exacerbates failure. This project aims to measure and identify the difference in characteristics of PD to quantify the physical conditions in the insulating material. This has been identified as being of vital importance to the power industry at a number of major international seminars and conferences and also by industry itself. The ability to identify specific signal characteristics, such as frequency of discharge and magnitude of discharge, and relate that to the known physical constraints at the fault site would aid asset managers with assessment of the physical degradation of the insulation.
The main objective of the project is to identify and interpret insulation condition through correlation of electrical signals generated in the fault. The initial stages of the programme will be directed towards construction of two forms of fault which are known to occur in solid insulation materials. The differences in response of these fault types when subjected to electrical stressing will be the main focus of the work. This project is applicable to current and future power plant.
The work in this programme, whilst fundamental in content, is complementary to that of an EPSRC funded project currently ongoing at Glasgow Caledonian University. The outcomes of this course of study will be used to inform and enhance the funded work programme and the student would be supported in their endeavours by others working in this area.
The project objectives are as follows:
To construct specific fault geometries in a range of polymeric or resinous materials;
To stress the faulted solid insulation samples under typical stresses found in electrical power plant;
To identify electrical and chemical markers in stressed samples;
To correlate the signals and chemical changes which occur in the stressed regimes to the constraints present in the fault and to use these to provide signifiers to asset engineers.
We are looking for a highly motivated candidate with a good honours degree (minimum 2.1) or Masters in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline who will have good analytical and investigative skills and a positive attitude toward cross-disciplinary research and teamwork. The student would be expected, as part of their professional development, to present research findings at conferences and to industrial forums. For informal enquiries and further details of this project please contact Dr. Donald Hepburn by email at: dmhe@gcal.ac.uk.
