The new Institute for Business Research being launched in Tauranga
The new Institute for Business Research at the University of Waikato is being launched in Tauranga on Friday December 3.

A lot of good business research information is not finding its way to the business community that can best make use of it, says institute director Stuart Locke.

The Waikato University Institute for Business Research is being created partly to encourage the Waikato and Bay of Plenty business communities to ask questions that dig into that intellectual property, says institute director Stuart Locke.

The average academic spends 40 percent of the time on research, 40 per cent teaching and 20 per cent on administration.

With the top management school in the country, Waikato University has some really good research sitting around not being used by the business community, says Stuart.

The IBR is also envisaged as an employment agency for PhD students looking for suitable research projects.

The intention is to attract the interest of businesses that have significant issues, and team them up with up to date research information. If existing research doesn’t apply, then new research can be undertaken.

“I think we are the first cab off the rank in terms of this sort of thing in New Zealand,” says Stuart, who works with the IBR’s Agribusiness Research Group.

The new Institute for Business Research is being launched at the University of Waikato on Thursday December 2 in Hamilton, and on Friday December 3 in Tauranga.

Keynote speaker at the openings is Professor David Hensher, the Founding Director of the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) and Professor of Management at the University of Sydney.

An authority on urban transport issue, David is the recipient of the 2009 IATBR Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition for his long-standing and exceptional contribution to the wider travel behaviour community. He’s a member of the Singapore Land Transport Authority International Advisory Panel, and is the author of 12 books.
David is a frequent commentator in Australian media, on the broader issues of private participation in infrastructure, especially toll roads, congestion charging and the role in urban areas of rail vs bus transport.

Scholarship Opportunities for Everyone

Scholarship Opportunities for Everyone

Looking to find money for college?
The well-prepared high school student will already know that there is a wealth of options to consider when you’re looking to find money for college. They’ll also know that paying for college isn’t an easy feat, and usually accomplished by exploring all of the resources available – scholarships, grants, tax credits, and student loans. The best strategies are to apply early for the best and most generous financial aid from a college, as often awards are given on a first come, first-served basis, and to apply often, as the more scholarships you strive for the more of a chance you’ll have to pay for school with the least amount of borrowing. )
You’re in luck. There are plenty of scholarship opportunities out there and we are more than happy to share them with you. The government, colleges, corporations, non-profit organizations, and private providers all offer a number of ways to help students pay for a college education. While many students believe they have no choice but to take out student loans for college, that is not the case. Students in need of scholarships can find plenty of them at our site. With more than 2.7 million scholarship and grant opportunities worth more than $19 billion, just about everyone is bound to find something. Why not take advantages of their offers by conducting a free college scholarship search?

There Are Scholarship Opportunities for Everyone
A commonly held belief is that college scholarships and grants are only available to the most active, most brilliant, and most talented of students, and that there are no scholarship opportunities for average students, or even above-average students who lack exceptional backgrounds or exceptional financial need. But not every scholarship award is tailored specifically to the valedictorian basketball star future beauty queen lawyers among us. We have scholarship opportunities in our database for students of all walks of life with all sorts of skill sets. Maybe writing essays is your thing? Our resources section contains extensive lists of essay scholarships. We also have scholarships for adult students, scholarships for minorities, and scholarships for women, as well as scholarship opportunities for business school, education majors, journalism students, and many others. Additionally, our database features an extensive array of local scholarships for all 50 states. Scholarships.com even offers our own $1,000 college scholarships to students pursuing a variety of common areas of study. And better still, by registering an account and completing a profile on Scholarships.com, you will have access to a list of scholarship opportunities tailored to your interests, abilities, and experiences just by conducting a free scholarship search.

Paid Services Don’t Pay Off
There is never a reason to pay for a scholarship search service when access to a large database of awards is readily available at no cost. Some students assume that paying to use a scholarship website will increase their probability of winning an award, or buy the line that scholarship opportunities may be going "unclaimed" in a special pay-per-view clearinghouse, but this is simply not true. In fact, a study by numerous colleges found that only 1 percent of students who used fee-based scholarship services actually won awards.

Search for Scholarship Opportunities
Students don’t need to look hard for scholarship opportunities—they just need to look. There are more than enough out there, and free information is readily available. Check out our " Resources" for additional scholarship and financial aid information, and begin saving for your education today.

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.

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.

This global partner program reflects PHD Technologies' core policy of ensuring that partners are an integral part of business growth and ongoing strategic evolution.

"Our partners are critical to our success and to the support of our growing customer base worldwide," said Igor Saulsky, EVP of Worldwide Sales for PHD Technologies. "We have introduced Channel Xpress to serve our partners and customers and look forward to welcoming new members into the program in 2009 and beyond."Channel Xpress is free to join and offers simple, success-based partner categories and discounts.

Channel Xpress partners have high praise for esXpress' product capabilities and the consequent implications for resellers. INX, a provider of virtual hosting services is one of PHD Technologies' top partners in North America. Larry Ellison, the Marketing Programs Manager at INX, stated that, "INX was testing many data replication solutions for our virtualized hosting service ... [esXpress'] unique Virtual Backup Appliance was just what we were looking for to keep with our philosophy of using virtual appliances whenever possible. esXpress provided superior performance and functionality for our customers and instantly became our standard for backing up virtual machines and replicating them offsite."

INX represents a typical PHD Technologies' partner, namely a reseller with regional and national reach, a solution-based sales approach, a best-of-breed technology suite and the desire to expand their virtual solution set with innovative new technologies.
