The Master Thesis of Mosh\'e Flato

The genesis and impact of the M.Sc. thesis by Mosh\'e Flato is analysed. In this connection, the fruitful passage of Mosh\'e in Lyon, capitale mondiale de la gastronomie, is evoked. Finally, some basic elements for a model in crystal- field theory are given as a important step on the way opened by Mosh\'e.Comment: 10 pages, Tex file. Contributed paper submitted for the proceedings of the `Conf\'erence Mosh\'e Flato 1999' held in Dijon (France), 5 - 8 September 1999. The proceedings will be published by Kluwer Academic Publishers in the series `Mathematical Physics Studies', eds. G. Dito and D. Sternheimer, founded by the late Professor Mosh\'e Flat

Master Thesis in Informatics. Guidelines

A master-thesis means that students must demonstrate that they can formulate a research question. Furthermore they must design and conduct an investigation. The investigation and the findings from it must be reported according to standards and guidelines for academic and/or scholarly reports. There must be a chain of evidence starting with the research question and ending with the conclusions. In a master-thesis (as any other academic report) there must be a research question. Literature, theories and previous investigations, which are appropriate and relevant for the research question, must be presented and reviewed. Based on literature and theories the relevant ones must be chosen, based on an assessment of the theories, which must result in a research (investigation) model. Methods to be used in conducting the investigation should be based on a motivated selection, which must be presented and argued in the master thesis. It is important to present the literature and theories that have been used. There must be a connection with previous research and literature. So a master-thesis must have references, and references must be written according to the applicable guidelines. The contents and layout of a master-thesis are essential to present and mediate the investigation and findings of the thesis in a solid and readable way. The chain of evidence must be clear through the whole master-thesis. Teaching consists of a series of lectures, supervision and seminars. The seminars are intended to provide support during the process of conducting an investigation and writing a master-thesis. The process is concluded with pre-seminars and final seminars, where the master-thesis is presented and discussed, as well as assessed. During these seminars student-teams must review the master-theses of other student-teams

The Master\u27s Written Thesis

91 pages : illus. ; 26 cm; 2nd Edition. This guide to thesis development is best used in discussion and negotiation with your Graduate Program Director and other thesis advisors. It may also be used as part of a workshop structure to explore in conversation with others the ideas and possibilities most appropriate to your own work. – Anne West, from the Introduction. This remarkable handbook is a navigational instrument offered to assist each graduate student through the development of an independent, distinctive process of writing about—and with—one’s work. – Patricia C. Phillips, from the introduction. The first edition of this handbook was produced in 1996, under the supervision of Graduate Dean Christina Bertoni. It was written to address the needs of graduate students preparing their written thesis and with the greatest concern for reducing thesis anxiety. Two reprints followed. With this second edition we have taken this guide through a vigorous and enthusiastic overhaul. The amplification of this guide parallels the scope of graduate study at RISD, which has enlarged considerably since our first effort over a decade ago. We hope that the results of this effort will be discussed in the context of departmental workshops and as such will strongly support graduates in achieving their personal and academic goals. – Anne West, from the acknowledgments.

Research activities in the first two cycles of European Biosystems engineering university studies - Situation in the Netherlands

Wageningen University has implemented the bachelor – master model by 2003. The biosystems related programmes of Wageningen University are the BSc Agrotechnology and the MSc Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering. The bachelor programme has a size of 180 credits and the master programme a size of 120 credits. Both 1st and 2nd cycle programmes have a strong focus on research. A thesis is part of both programmes; the size is 12 credits for the bachelor thesis (to be increased to 24 by 2010) and 36 for the master thesis. An important difference between the bachelor and the master thesis is the level of independence. The bachelor thesis work is more structured than the master thesis work. Most of the thesis work is related to ongoing research projects. In the bachelor programme there are several courses that confront students with research and in which they learn research and academic skills. In this way the students gradually learn what research is and how to do it. In the master programme there are only a few courses related to the research skills; the students that start with the master are supposed to posses these skills. The BSc degree is not considered as an end point but is a pivot point for choosing a master. Therefore there are no research positions for persons having only BSc degree. Research positions in industry require at least a MSc degree but the trend is that more and more a PhD is required. Senior research positions within the research organizations require in most cased a PhD and within the university it is a basic requirement

Harry Potter and the Master Thesis

This thesis was made to explore the possibility of incorporating movie adaptions of novels into the English Second Language classrooms to facilitate learning. The following research question for this thesis was then formed: "How can a teacher work with movie adaptions as texts in the ESL-classroom?”. To answer this question, I chose a qualitative research approach, document analysis. I would analyze documents for research on the subject and didactical textbooks to create a lesson plan that would work for a typical 8th grade English class in Norwegian schools. The documents analyzed were peer reviewed works from other academics as well as didactical theory, and these sources were chosen to create a solid foundation to build the lesson plan on. This research resulted in a lesson plan that would take about five weeks to complete in a classroom. The lessons include tasks that allow for level differentiation, teamwork, and development of the basic skills in the current curriculum (LK20). The planning process was influenced by the backwards planning model and the didactical relationship model, which both brought order and structure to the planning process resulting in a thoroughly planned lesson plan

Sumol+Compal : equity research master thesis

The purpose of this dissertation is to evaluate Sumol+Compal equity value at the end of 2016. In this sense a detailed analysis on the company financials and industry sector was done, followed by a DCF and Multiples valuation. The DCF resulted in a share price of 1.01€, that represents a downside of 48.5% when compared to the value of the homologous period, 1.96€. The multiples valuation resulted in a share price of 1.55€, 20.9% below the close price of the year 2015. After an extensive sensitivity analysis, the final outcome was defined, Sumol+Compal share price, at the end of 2016, will be around 1.18€. This value represents a downside of 39.8% when compared to value recorded at the end of the previous year and 10.9% regarding September, 27th, 2016 (most recent information). At this date Sumol+Compal share price was at 1.33€, therefore the outcome of this dissertation is a Sell recommendation.O objetivo desta dissertação é calcular o valor do capital próprio da Sumol +Compal no final do ano de 2016.
