Questions related to Universities
Recently someone was applying for a faculty position at a university and was asked to upload three of of his reprinted publications, which was strange to him.
I am looking for a doctor from a French university specializing in entomology or ecology at least.
I am writing to express my strong desire to pursue a Ph.D. in number theory. I am incredibly passionate about this field and feel a deep connection to the study of numbers. I am reaching out to you with a humble request for assistance. I currently lack the necessary resources and guidance to embark on this academic journey. If you could provide me with any help, I would be immensely grateful. Your support would mean the world to me and enable me to pursue my dreams in number theory.
Thank you so much for considering my request. I eagerly await your response. Please help me in PhD admission in university …my studies are m.phile math bzu

Hi everybody
I recently graduated with Msc. in Computer Engineering. I am searching for a Ph.D. position at universities in Canada.
Is there a quick way to find a supervisor with a specific research interest in Canada?
For example, I want to find some supervisors in "could computing" research interests who are teaching at the University of McGill, you know searching all supervisor's research interests individually is quite a bit time taking.
Thank you for any help in advance.
I have developed a strategic action plan for establishing an onlin university and I am willing to work with a committee to introduce same to the higher education authorities of any country that wants to establish an online campus. If anyone is interested please whatsapp me at 18687651159 or email russelljfoote@yahoo.com

Thank you in anticipation of your help.
Dear Research Gate experts
We as the reserach department of a medium size Berlin University
have to report monthly on the publication activities of our 35 faculty members
Most of us already have a Research Gate Account - an we plan to encourage everyone to establish an own account
While I can see my own stats - by month - in detail in my RG Profile
Ich can find the Profiles my faculty collegueas by name but see some stats of them as well
However I have not found an option to export them (i.a. as .pdf or better .csv) in order to serve as base data for our monthly reporting.
Can anyone suggest a solution
how to digitalize our publication reporting based on reserach gate?
Thanks for suggestions

Hello Everyone,
I'm in the final year of my MPhil program in Education and I'm on the lookout for potential Ph.D. positions at universities in Canada. Specifically, I'm interested in the realm of "Educational Leadership and Management." I'm wondering if there's an efficient way to identify suitable supervisors at institutions like the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, or other Canadian universities, who share this specific research focus. Going through each supervisor's research individually is proving to be quite time-intensive. Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
I am in need to perform variable temperature NMR for my sample. Kindly let me know any universities which makes the services available for externals.
Thanks

Are the functional requirements of the existing SW reasonable?
Gathering Requirements is a big joke.
Note: We will devote this part to Functional Requirements. We will have a set of questions related to non-functional requirements later.
Currently Known:
Functional requirements are the primary way customers communicate their requirements to the project team (First). Applicable (functional) requirements help to keep the project team going in the right direction (Second). Unclear requirements lead to a poorly defined scope that creates many challenges from the beginning of the project (Third).
In requirements engineering (Fourth), requirements elicitation is the practice of researching and discovering the requirements of a system from users, customers, and other stakeholders (First). The procedure is also sometimes referred to as "requirement gathering." (Will be discussed in the current Definition of Functional Requirements and Solicitation Process following questions.)
Reference: Requirements Engineering A good practice guide, Ramos Rowel and Kurts Alfeche, John Wiley and Sons, 1997
Explanation:
First:
(1) "A customer communicates their requirements to the project team" Based on my experience and research for more than 40+ years as a practitioner, academic, and a leading authority in SWE worldwide.
(a) Users, Customers, Stakeholders, System Engineers, and Project teams of any software system DO NOT KNOW anything about the functional requirements of any software system.
(b) Users, Customers, Stakeholders, System Engineers, and Project teams are solution-oriented mental models by experience and practice.
(c) We need to distinguish the difference between System and Software. A unique system exists in domain knowledge, but the SW is the accurate engine in all designs and domain knowledge.
(d) Unfortunately:
(1) SWE Gangs where each gang pushes its agenda in different areas of SWE, creating confusion, pointless debates, poor research, and inadequate teaching and training programs among the SWE universities and communities.
Evidence:
+ In Parnas, David L. (1998), "Software Engineering Programs are not Computer Science Programs." Annals of Software Engineering 6:19-37, Page 19. Parnas said that software engineering is a form of engineering.
+ The Gang of Four Summarize SWE in "Design Patterns," Analysis Patterns," "Process Patterns," and others. Most of them are programmers and from different fields of knowledge.
+ I studied most SWE university programs and found tremendous in various aspects of SWE, and many instructors are (Lecturers) Programmers.
+ "A well-known: All the existing SWE Books have nothing to do with true SWE. Concerning all the authors of any book on SWE areas, they are identical in many ways, even in their major pitfalls and problems.
+ SWE Standards collecting dust has no value.
+ SWE is not a social science or social media.
and
(2) The majority of different disciplines, professional and academia, trivialize SWE:
Evidence:
+ In Knuth, Donald (1974), "Computer Programming is an Art." The Communications of ACM 17 (12) Transcript of 1974, Tuning Award Lecture, where Knuth needed to separate Art and Science in his lecture.
+ In Dijkstra, Edsger W. (1998 "On the Cruelty of really teaching computer science,'" EWD1036, Austin, December 1998.
He also said that SWE should be known as "The Doomed Discipline." He indicated why he used the term "Doomed" because it cannot even approach its goal of science, and its purpose is self-contradictory. Unfortunately, all the non-SWE professionals in Computer Science and Engineering adopt the same point of view.
+ In Edsger W. Dijkstra's (2004) "There is still a war going on," Transcript, Austin (December 1993).
Dijkstra rejected the idea of "SWE" until he died in 2002, arguing that those terms were poor analogies for the radical novelty of computer science. He also indicated that SWE is Miserable Science."
(3) "Requirements elicitation is the practice of researching and discovering the requirements of a system."
There are three bizarre notions in this statement:
a) "The Practice of Research and Discovery" – Wow
Practice: The existing solicitation or gathering requirements failed to Gather the valid SWE Requirements.
Research: The current solicitation doesn't have anything to do with research.
Discovery:?
b) "Requirements of a system" must change to Requirements of Software or Software Requirements
Second: "Applicable (functional) requirements help to keep the project team going in the right direction." True. The reality is that the functional requirements do not exist. Therefore all the software project teams need to go in a different direction.
Third: "Unclear functional requirements lead to a poorly defined scope that creates many challenges from the beginning of the project." True. Why?
+ The cancelations of many systems,
+ Maintenance nightmare,
+ Disappearance of Software
+ Short life spans of much existing software,
+ Failure of 98% of startups, and
+ Legacy systems (Billions of $s)
Fourth: "In requirements engineering."
+ There are no functional requirements and the avoidance of problem space.
+ There is nothing to engineer. I will address many questions related to Requirements engineering."

I'm learning Fibonacci Sequence in my University and I want to know how is it used for modern day technologies and businesses.
Would you clarify words vs. their Concepts?
Word vs. its Concepts (Masks or views of a word) -- Clarification
The word is the "Model," and its concepts are the "Views" of a word.
All that we do in our life are concepts that are different word masks of a word.
Seriously! YES
PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND. The word synonymous is a significant disastrous notion in our research in Fayad's Unified and Stable Linguistic Engineering (ULE) and Fayad's Unified Word Engineering (UWE).
Word versus Concepts (Masks or views of a word) is a significant volume of three Unified Word Engineering (UWE) volumes.
We are open to debates, discussions, collaborations, and participation in any events related to words and concepts in any field of knowledge.
You may find the word "concept' in most of my writing as a base of my publications to start breaking in the notion of "strong embedded use of concepts without thinking." We will update and rewrite our publication.
The Scenarios are unlimited.
Examples:
Words
(1) You don't know the unified word "Debate" and "Debate," as we know them as a concept, has different views, and all of them is not complete.
(2) You don't know the word "Human," which represents all of us, and the Human we understand as a concept has different views. All of them are horror, and it is not valid.
Field of knowledge: Software Engineering and Development
You don't know "Software Engineering and development (SWE)," which should be unified and stable because of all we do in SWE. The SWE, we know as concepts, have different, unlimited, bizarre views. In my 40 years of software engineering experience, I found out everyone (at any University where I worked, for example) knows SWE from all the Faculty, Chairs, Deans, VPs, Evaluators, Reviewers, and others; they don't even know their field of knowledge. Why? Because they know only the view of their field of knowledge, which needs to be completed and contaminated by their notion of knowledge. What I am telling you here caused me a lot of collective injustice. They are gruesome scenarios of the destruction of my career, life, family, freedom, and startups. I will cover all the views that happened to me personally and to my startups in my Documentary books on Collective Injustice.

How can we inspire academic confidence in university students?
I have a bachelor's degree in painting from a state university and I am studying a master's degree in art research. It has been some time since I started my research in this field due to my interest in the field of neuro-aesthetics and I have decided to continue my studies. But this possibility is not available in my country. I am looking for a way to enter a university in Europe through a friend. thank you.
Due to its diversity, this turns out to be a controversial issue, since in Cuban undergraduate training, this approach is applied in a general way, transferred the pedagogical management practices by objectives for the fulfillment of the social demands of the professional models.
However, the international trend of the results of its application in higher education, although they promote the fulfillment of purposes and objective aspirations, demonstrate an undeniable uniformity and triviality in educational purposes. There is also a stratification of teaching and learning that does not make it possible to take advantage of the potential of learning error and empirical knowledge for attention to diversity and educational inclusion, it results in homogenizing collective purposes and does not promote differentiating practical skills and abilities. , which simplifies the predictability of results in vocational training.
In addition, according to the demands of a university education, which must respond to an educational model that promotes socioeconomic development, the production of goods and services and the creation of a business economic culture, the conception of this model is not very adaptable to the acquisition of individual professional skills and the diversity of theoretical-practical contents, results of a pragmatic and technical society.
What has been said does not mean that the university bends to the demands of its environment, what it is about is that, from its role as a forerunner of development, it is capable of meeting and satisfying these demands, in a transformative way through the plans of study and its management; in such a way that graduates meet the expectations and needs of society.
That is why it is so important to assess the criteria of the professionals who work in the base link of the profession, in relation to this purpose.

Hello everyone!
I'm not a native speaker of English and Chat GPT (besides Grammarly) has been helping me immensely in correcting and improving my texts.
However, a professor told me that many universities and journals are reproving the use of Chat GPT. Considering many people do not have enough money to hire a person to correct texts and check grammar, why would be outrageous to use chat GPT?
What is your opinion?
---------------------------------
(In the text above I wrote using my knowledge. Now I'm gonna jot down the same text, but improved by Chat GPT:)
Hello everyone! I am not a native English speaker, and I must say that Chat GPT, along with Grammarly, has been tremendously helpful in correcting and enhancing my texts. However, I recently heard from a professor that many universities and journals are disapproving the use of Chat GPT. I find this rather puzzling because not everyone has the financial means to hire a person for text correction and grammar checks. In light of this, I wonder why it would be deemed inappropriate to use Chat GPT. I am curious to know your opinion on this matter.
80% of graduates do not work in the same field as their university specialization, according to some statistics in the USA. Hence, are university degrees, not to mention post-graduate degrees, useless?
Is it possible to open a researchgate account for one who doesn't have a university email address?
It seems that some universities are OK with one other propose two and some even ask for teams. What is the standard? What is good practise? What would you recommend?
Does continuing a doctorate in the same field and having in-depth field knowledge make a more effective contribution to the field and make the person more successful?
Or does it make a more effective contribution to the field and make the person more successful by doing a doctorate in another field close to his field and doing interdisciplinary studies?
And which one do you think is more advantageous in finding academic staff in universities?
Snobbery in the academics is alive and well it's doing harm.
Snobbery is a sense of superiority or exclusiveness, often expressed with condescending comments or actions that reject others. Snobbery is found throughout societies. Some people look down on those with less money or who live in a low-status suburb or who don’t speak with the right accent.
Snobbery in universities
You might imagine that universities would be free of snobbery, because everyone is involved in a quest for knowledge and scholars are supposed to make judgements about ideas, not about people. Anyone who has been around people in universities will soon hear plenty of stories to the contrary.
However, this type of snobbery has consequences beyond the immediate effects on people’s emotions. When teachers make belittling comments about students, it can cause some students to quit. Some junior scholars may even reject an academic career because of the patronising attitudes of senior figures.
CHALLENGING THE UNIVERSALITY OF
THE SPEED OF LIGHT AS A CONSTANT
Raphael Neelamkavil, Ph.D., Dr. phil.
We know that neither time nor space is an existent entity like physical existents. It is a measuremental reality (not an existent) behind all existent physical processes and experiences of existent physical processes simultaneously. The space and time behind all existent physical processes are in fact Extension and Change. their measurements are always by conventional scales and hence epistemic realities.
Can photonal velocity measured spatiotemporally as a constant like the constants of proportionality in physics? Can light be of constant velocity if no spatiotemporal constant of proportionality exists that makes it constant in all physical circumstances? Even the Planck constant is not genuine a proportionality in the strictest sense due to the insufficiency in universality of the units of mass, energy etc. in relation to quanta.
The reader will now surely ask what the meaning and implications of such a questioning would be! The constancy of the velocity of light is bound to experiments within this universe, that too within the phase of the universe where we live. Its universalization is merely a matter of experiments in our part and phase of the universe, and not of all parts and phases of the whole cosmos.
If the amount of matter-energy in the big bang (or even at the bang of a certain amount of matter-energy within a region of the universe) is, let us say, A, then the highest transportation speed would be fixed by the first propagations that arise from the big bang at issue.
That region of the cosmos or of our big bang universe as such has produced a maximal velocity at the start of its phase of expansion, and this limit cannot be overcome by any other propagation within that region of the cosmos or that universe. This is a very pragmatic fact, and not a theoretical limit of all propagations in the universe!
There can be another region of our big bang universe or another phase (say, another phase of expansion, or its contraction phase), where the amount of matter-energy directly available for work is less. The amount of energy here is, say, B – for causal reasons determined by the amount of matter-energy available for work, due to its exteriorizing some energy during the previous phases of evolution.
This can naturally result in the causal determination of the maximal photonal (or any other) velocity being limited to another amount. This is simply because of the difference of density due to the difference in the amount of matter-energy available within that universe or part-universe of the multiverse cosmos.
If not, we may admit at least that there will be speed values A, B, C, etc. in a finite number of times, and then there will be another level, determined by, say, speed values alpha, beta, gamma, etc., where the propagation velocity would be lower or higher.
This, in my opinion, is a solid argument to keep our minds open to accept the facts that (1) the speed of light need not be a constant for all regions of the universe or for all universes, (2) in this case some universes may have superluminal velocities, (3) these propagations will surely enter some universes other than the one/s in which they were produced, and (4) it is extremely difficult to detect them in our universe. But this need not mean non-existence of superluminal velocities.
Can we now say that there will be a general constant of proportionality between possible forms of source-independent (source-independent with respect to objects in their own universes) propagations? If this is imaginable, it can really be called a constant. But if there is a constant of proportionality between the various highest speed limits in each universe, this would have to mean that there are units of difference between the limits speeds of every two universes. But the existence of this sort of a proportionality constant is a matter merely of speculation.
How then can the this-worldly luminal velocity be a constant beyond our universe or our cluster of universes, where its velocity of propagation was determined fully causally by the available amount of density of matter-energy at the bang or start of whatever expansion there is in the local universe?
I have discussed this in two of my books (2014, 2018), the latter being a more generalized work than the earlier. I have also questioned the universality of the Lorentz Factor in the Special Theory of Relativity. The initial background of reasoning behind these arguments is the number of insights achieve from reading various books on the velocity of light during my school days, and developed in the course of decades.
I would be pleased to get open-minded reactions on this question.

I understand that my key weaknesses are not having published any papers and coming from a university with a not-so-high QS ranking. However, I'm unsure if my six years of relevant experience can make up for these shortcomings. I've been facing difficulties throughout my PhD application journey, so I'm hoping to post my CV and research proposal for kind-hearted friends to help guide me.
A brief description of RCE follows:
The Revista de Ciências Exatas (RCE) or Jounal of Exact Sciences in an exclusively electronic version, is a biannual publication of the stricto and lato sensu PostGraduate Program in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Taubaté (SP). It was created by means of meeting the demand for scientific production from Brazilian and international universities, aiming to encourage academic debate, dissemination, discussion, criticism and reference on the evolution and dynamics of Exact Sciences in its different dimensions within the scope of public activities. or private, focusing on Social, Environmental and Economic aspects for sustainable development.
RCE is a pluralist journal and publishes works that present original contributions, theoretical or empirical, related to the field of Exact Sciences to a postgraduate program in Engineering, values the development of interdisciplinary dialogue, opening spaces for contributions from other areas (health, engineering, architecture, psychology, history, environmental sciences) that interface with the journal's central project.
It is available for national and international collaborators and has a varied editorial board, distributed by several institutions and regions of Brazil and several other countries.
I am a student at Pacific Adventist University ( Papua New Guinea) who is working on a research project for my Masters degree. The title of my research project is Establishing the Relationship between Metacognition Awareness and the Academic Performance of Nursing Students at the University of Papua New Guinea.
I would like to use the tool with a modification to the answering options. To turn the Yes or No options to a 7-point Likert scale; 1 being very untrue of me and 7 being very true of me.

Channel encoding techniques, such as LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) codes, are used in digital communication systems to improve the reliability and efficiency of data transmission over noisy channels. LDPC codes are known for their excellent error correction capabilities and low encoding and decoding complexity. Let's dive deeper into LDPC codes and explore their key characteristics.
LDPC codes are linear block codes that are defined by sparse parity-check matrices. These matrices have a low density of non-zero elements, hence the name "Low-Density Parity-Check." The sparsity property allows for efficient encoding and decoding algorithms.
The encoding process in LDPC codes involves multiplying the input data vector with the parity-check matrix to obtain the encoded codeword. The parity-check matrix is typically constructed in such a way that it has a large girth, which means that there are no short cycles in the code graph. This property helps in achieving good error correction performance.
The decoding process in LDPC codes is typically performed using iterative algorithms, such as the belief propagation algorithm or the sum-product algorithm. These algorithms involve passing messages between the variable nodes (representing the received symbols) and the check nodes (representing the parity checks). The messages carry information about the reliability of the received symbols and are updated iteratively until a certain convergence criterion is met. LDPC decoding can achieve near-optimal performance, approaching the Shannon limit for reliable communication over noisy channels.
LDPC codes offer several advantages in digital communication:
- Excellent error correction performance: LDPC codes can achieve very low error rates, making them suitable for communication systems operating in challenging environments.
- Low encoding and decoding complexity: The sparsity of the parity-check matrix allows for efficient encoding and decoding algorithms, making LDPC codes computationally feasible for practical applications.
- Flexible code design: LDPC codes can be designed with different code rates and block lengths to suit specific communication requirements. This flexibility enables trade-offs between error correction capability and data rate.
- Compatibility with modern communication standards: LDPC codes are widely adopted in various communication standards, such as Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11n and later), 4G LTE, 5G NR, and DVB-S2.
Overall, LDPC codes are powerful channel encoding techniques that provide robust error correction for digital communication systems. Their excellent performance, low complexity, and compatibility with communication standards make them a popular choice in modern communication technologies.

Dear colleagues
I have a questionnaire that measured self-handicapping on a scale that ranges from 1 (SD) to 5 (SA). When I administered the questionnaire to a sample of about 300 first year university students, I noticed that a very high percentage of students choose only either 1 (SD) or 2( D) and that few of them choose (Neutral). Almost no student choose 4 (A) or 5 (SA). How this will affect my data? results? what is my best options to handle this problem?
Thank you
Since obviously in almost everywhere there are less market demand for unv-graduates in many branches why nations can't plan this reality logically and ruin the lives and hopes of millions of unv-graduates ?
(Toughest Jobs Season!10 Million+ College Students in 2023 are unemployed upon graduation)
