...Graduate School Writing a research proposal for a PhD or MPhil application: A guide for potential students Some Schools and Departments may require you to write an outline research proposal and submit this with your application to study for a PhD or MPhil. The content and structure of the proposal will inevitably vary depending on the discipline area and the nature of the project you wish to pursue. In some cases you may be provided with some guidance in terms of what information should be included in the proposal and, if this is the case, you should read this carefully and follow it. However, where this is not the case, the general guidance, and suggested headings, provided here should help you to structure and present your ideas clearly in your proposal. Your overall aim is to produce a research proposal that is clear and coherent in every respect. You should therefore avoid the use of overly long sentences and of technical jargon. It is important that the proposed research is realistic and feasible so that the outcomes can be achieved within the scale of a typical research degree programme, which is typically three years full-time for a PhD (or two years for an MPhil). Although you should write the proposal yourself, it is best if you discuss its contents with your proposed supervisor before you submit it. Your research question For most projects there is usually one main question that you would like to address, which can sometimes be broken down into several sub-questions...

...Writing a successful PhD Proposal General notes It is assumed that the proposal will be presented in typescript, with minimal typographical errors, and written in an appropriately mature and grammatical style. The following is a suggestion as to the information that will be required by CLS to make a decision on your proposal; you do not have to follow this exact format. Note that if applying for studentships or to other funding bodies, pay attention to the relevant rules and guidelines for submitting such an application, which take priority over these general guidelines. When writing your proposal, bear in mind that the proposal is what we judge your application on, assuming your qualifications are appropriate. It therefore needs to identify the subject matter of the proposed research clearly. This enables us not only to judge the quality and originality of the proposed work but allows us to identify whether we have the resources to support you and whether an appropriate supervisor is available. There is no set length for a proposal, but do remember that you need to give us enough information to judge your proposal, but without becoming unnecessarily wordy or repetitive. As a general guideline, a proposal will usually be at least 2,000 words long, plus references and bibliography. When identifying a topic keep in mind the requirements for a PhD. You need to think about how your study will demonstrate originality; it is not enough simply to reproduce existing knowledge. There...

Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company employs 30,000 people around the globe. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company has nine locations across the United States and several international offices around the world. Fort Worth, Texas, Marietta, Georgia, Palmdale, California, San Antonio, Texas, Greenville, South Carolina, Pinellas Park, Florida, Meridian, Mississippi, Johnstown, Pennsylvania and Clarksburg, West Virginia are the nine locations across the United States.

The rayon felt must be 7-inches thick, so that NASA ARC may carbonize it, which will result in a 3-inch thick carbon felt. For TPS applications, NASA requires thicknesses of greater than 3-inches for the thermal protection of flight vehicles. Carbon felt is the precursor for conformable ablators, currently under investigation at NASA ARC, which offer many advantages over rigid ablators for large heat shields. Commercially available carbon felts are currently manufactured in thicknesses of 1-inchor less. NASA intends to procure the rayon felt on a sole source basis from American Felt & Filter Company, Inc.

...Nurse to Patient Ratio 1 Safe Nurse to Patient Staffing Ratios A Qualitative Summary Introduction to Nursing Research Grand Canyon University Nurse to Patient Ratio 2 Abstract The healthcare industry stands in the face of many changes, one of which is the forecasted shortages of registered nurses in acute care settings. Unless action is taken and resolutions are not put in place evidence shows that this problem will only worsen in the coming years. Left unaddressed this shortage deprives the acute care patient of quality care, overburdens current staffing and detracts from the facilities overall performance. A further complication to the already strained workforce is the predicted retirement of the “ baby boomer” generation, which is forecast to increase the patient care needs at a rate that cannot be met by the current staffing levels. According to the “United States Registered Nurse report Card” issued by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (2012) this shortage is predicted to spread across the United States through 2030. Nurse to Patient Ratio 3 Summary A quantitative approach to understanding this problem is the most appropriate choice to gather information such as low morale, increasing workload, high attrition levels and difficulty hiring replacement staff. The previously mentioned problems need to be understood...
