Education for business and the professions

Research Studentships

You will join our established team in the policy research center, initially for two years

but with a possible extension to three. We are offering salaries of £5, 000 per annum,

and you will be required to register for the award of MPhil or PhD.

We have three Studentships to offer, and in addition to holding a good first degree or

master’s qualification, your interests should cover one or more of these areas:

Applied economics, industrial policy, government-business relationships; small

business promotion; local economic policy; regional policy; business history; local

governance; labour market analysis.

To apply, you should submit your CV and a covering letter, outlining your research

interests, to Dr. Royce Turner

Policy Research Centre Sheffield Business School

Sheffield Hallam University Unit 7

The Science Park Howard Street

Sheffield SI 2LX

Closing date is 19 March 2005

Task 4. 38. Read the text below to find the answers to the following questions:

DEGREE REQUIREMENTS AT MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (MIT)

  1. What degrees are conferred by MIT?

  2. How long should one do research to get the Master’s degree (Engineer’s degree, Doctor’s degree)?

  3. Where are theses prepared? Is residence obligatory?

  4. Compare the time necessary and the requirements to the thesis prepared for obtain­ing Master’s degree, Engineer’s degree and Doctor’s degree at MIT.

  5. What are the language proficiency requirements at MIT?

  6. Where are PhD and ScD awarded?

Graduate students may pursue work leading to any of the following degrees:

Doctor of Philisophy, PhD

Doctor of Science, ScD

Engineer’s Degree (in engineering departments only)

Master of Science, MSc, SM

Master of Architecture, MArch

Master in City Planning, MCP

Students’ reseach work

147

The Master’s degree requires ,a minimum of one academic year of study, the Engineer’s degree - two years and the Doctotr’s degree - three or more years beyond a baccaulaureate in the same field. For the S.M. the minimum is one academic term, for the Engineer’s it is two academic terms and for the Doctorate it is four academic terms. All degree requirements include completion of an acceptable thesis prepared in residence unless special permission is granted for the part of the thesis work to be done elsewhere.

In the School of Engineering students may be awarded an Engineer’s degree. This program provides a higher level of professional competence than it is required by the program leading to the Master’s degree but with less emphasis on creative research than it is expected in a doctoral program.

A Doctor’s degree requires original research of high grade and satisfactory completion of an approved program of advanced study. The degrees of Ph.D. and Sc.D. are awarded interchangeably by all departments in the Schools of Engineering and Science (except biology) and in the fields of architecture, biology, economics, linguistics, management, operations research, philosophy, political science, urban studies and planning. Admission to MIT for the Master’s degree does not necessarily imply an automatic commitment by MIT beyond that level of study.

A few departments require that the Doctoral candidate take a “minor” program outside the principal field. Language requirements vary and some departments require a thorough knowledge of one relevant foreign language or reading knowledge of two.

All students Whose first language is not English will be required to take the English Evaluation Test (EET) which is given during the week prior to Registration Day. The EET test is a diagnostic test (unlike the TOEFL which is an achievement test). The purpose of the test is to help students identify their strengths and weaknesses in written and oral English. Scores below 575 may result in the withdrawing of the visa documentation for a candidate found admissible.

Task 4. 39. One of the practical skills a researcher needs while presenting the results of his/her investigation (submitting an article to a scientific journal, for example) is the skill of writing an abstract of his/her article correctly. Get acquainted with the abstracts presented below and pay attention to the phrases in italics that are characteristic of article abstracts. Translate them.

A Methodology of fitting and validating metamodels in simulation

Abstract. This expository paper discusses the relationships among metamodels, simu­lation models and problem entities. A metamodel or response surface is an approxi­mation of the input/output function implied by the underlying simulation model. There are several types of metamodel: linear regression, splines, neural networks etc. This paper distinguishes between fitting and validating a metamodel. Metamodels may have different goals: (i) understanding; (ii) prediction; (iii) optimization; (iv) verification and

validation. For this metamodeling, a process with thirteen steps is proposed. Classic design of experiments (DOE) is summarized, including standard measures of fit such as the R-square coefficient and cross-validation measures. This DOE is extended to sequential or stagewise DOE Several validation criteria, measures and estimators are discussed. Metamodels in general are covered, along with a procedure for developing linear regression (including polynomial) metamodels.

Cryptanalytic Attacks on Pseudorandom Number Generators (PRINGs)

Abstract. In this paper we discuss PRNGs: the mechanisms used for real-world secure systems to generate cryptographic keys, initialization vectors, “random” notices and other notices assumed to be random. We argue that PRNGs are their own unique type of cryptographic primitive and should be analyzed as such. We propose a model for PRNGs, discuss possible attacks against this model and demonstrate the applicability of the model (and our attacks) to four real-world PRNGs. We close with a discussion of lessons learned about PRNG design and use, and a few open questions.

Task 4.40. Translate the following text into English working in groups or pairs and use the information in making up an abstract of a specialist article assigned to you (your group) by the teacher.
