noblealuu:


Please how can I create a new career path in the Agricultural field, specifically Animal science?

I studied Medical Lab science in my first degree in South-South Nigeria.

Just discovered I got passion for animals although I graduated over five years ago. A Dr in FUNAAB is of the opinion that I won't be given a PGD in "Animal Production and Health" (Pig Production) my priority.

Please any heads up?

If that's the case sir. I would suggest you take up a part time study, in this field for a B (agric)... Because your initial study area seems far from the subject area, many schools if not all will not accept you for pgd...

Or better still search through schools within Nigeria or outside which has flexible requirements to absorb you in for a Bsc programme.. Or probably masters programme..( check up university of manitoba)
#shalom.

I want to know is there any disadvantage in applying to only one school?

Most US schools doesn't require masters for PhD

Thanks is it neccesary to take GRE(since Ielts is commonly waved for Nigerians).

How can one pick the the "test" to write between GMAT and GRE?

There are major mistakes that can ruin your interview even if you get admitted into Harvard.

Lack of confidence...smiling brings confidence.
I was nervous too..but I smiled from the beginning of the process till the end..that boosted my confidence.

Not looking into the consular's face.

Speaking in an inaudible tone

Not answering the exact questions asked

Other factors are based on the individual's specific case.

FILL YOUR DS160 YOURSELF
FILL YOUR DS160 YOURSELF
DON'T LIE IN THE FORM...BE SINCERE
Focus on your interview... Don't listen to bloody stories
Don't let the guys at the gate disturb u at all..No matter what they say, don't listen to them.

Sorry, to ask. How were you able to get a direct PhD funding using just your Bsc.....?

470 days ago, I started this thread.

We are grateful to God for the strength , wisdom and knowledge he has given all contributors; Lives that have been positively impacted and success stories we've gotten so far - from securing admission offers to visa approvals to people securing well paid jobs in Ireland.

Our appreciation goes to the CREATOR of all things and beings - GOD almighty and everyone who has shared their fears, concerns , skepticism and success stories with us. Together, we've kept Travel agents on their feets and toes.

During the last meeting with the Irish embassy in Abuja, I met severally agents who intactly recognised the name 'ICAS'; basically, most of you have gone back to them to request for discounts the agents didn't disclose initially or required documents for visa application.

It's still a learning curve for us @ ICaS-Nigeria and everyone as well and we can't wait to be of more positive impact in #2019.

So let's do more in #2019.

Happy new year Guys and Ladies!

@ICas. What schools in ireland, can you recommend for agric/food science related courses? And the chances of getting job after studies....

My Recent 2019 Publication: The use of porous magnetic resins for phenol recovery for medical uses

Here, porous magnetic resins were synthesized via a simple co-precipitation technique and applied for recovery of two types of phenolics. Natural phenolic compounds play an important role in cancer prevention and treatment. Phenolic compounds from medicinal herbs and dietary plants include phenolic acids, flavonoids, tannins, etc and are responsible for their chemopreventive properties (e.g., antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, or antimutagenic and anti-inflammatory effects).

Work published in the International Journal of Biological Macromolecules and SCI journal of Q1 and impact factor of 3.909.

Kudos prof... Continue to good works!More exlpoits

wip7:


The charges may not be for regular publication may be open access format of the journal...May I know name of the journal you want ?

Also, take note ALL springer NATURE journals are open access hence they charge. This is different from SPRINGER JOURNALS with subscription based journals!

If you can’t find in springer, please visit Elservier journals or tell me area you want to publish I can suggest reputable free journals for you!

The name of the journal is Journal of Animal Science And Biotecnology..

I want to publish on the Area of meat product &processing!

wip7:


Nice research area. Kindly enhance your skills in statistical optimization and polymeric/inorganic synthesis (very important).

You may focus on:

1. Biopreservative synthesis for minced meat

2. Synthesis of edible polymeric materials as active food packaging for meat products

3. Fabrication of nanofluids/particles as antimicrobial coatings for meat packages

Thanks alot prof. I will contact you via your e-mail for some personal questions i have. Thanks oncr again.

How to Find Reputable Journals from respected and Standard Publishing Houses


In continuation of Steps to Publishing in a Reputable Journal posted in some pages back, I like to show the young scholars how to find reputable journals.

Again, for any journals, the authors must first check that the Journals have the following metrics:

1. Must be peer-reviewed Journal

2. Belong to either of these: SCI/SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, Institute for Scientific Information/Web of Science (ISI/WOS), Medical citation index (MCI), Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) (this is very new).

3. Must have verified impact factor or cite score

Below are how to find journals from reputable publisher like Springer. First follow the steps by typing the web address, then write few words in your title and select the subject area. Bunch of journals and their information including acceptance rate, impacta factor, journal name details will be shown to you. Then you can read the aim and scope to see if it fits your research or visit some pages back where I have explained what to do.

To be continued!

Hello prof wip 7. I searched a journal according to procedures you highlighted from springer....but unfortunately they ask charges for publication. What could be wrong?

I am so glad to have found this thread. I have been motivated by the profs and Dr's in the house.. You guys have stirred up the research interests in me.

B.Agric Animal Science (completed)
Msc and PhD(in-view)

Skills : I am an intermediate-level user of SPSS,SAS.

Research areas: Animal products and/or meat science!

Any advice for me? prof @wip7

Hi House,

I received my admission letter to UBc for a thesis based masters last week.
My supervisor said I will get a letter from the dean saying

The annual stipend for a BIMB MSc student is $17,500. Funding for the stipend is typically provided through teaching assistantships (TA; about $12,592) in the Department of Chemistry, research assistantships (RA; at least $4,908) from My supervisor and graduate awards administered through the College of Graduate Studies. Each year you will be able to apply for a TA position. To apply for a TA position, submit your Curriculum Vitae and a letter of interest outlining any previous teaching experience to chemistry.okanagan@ubc.ca. You are also eligible for the Graduate Deans Entrance Scholarship of $5,000.



Can I use this letter for my visa application and will I still need to show a proof of $10000 and tuition fee(8605)

Will I have to get accepted for the teaching assistantship first or it doesn’t matter.

Also, if Yes, I’m required to provide proof,like how much is needed as the account balance (using solely an uncle as sponsor)


Thanks

I sent you a private message pls reply

Hi People, great job you are doing in here.

Please I have a couple of questions,

1. I have my attested medical certificate from Nigeria, hoping to fly into the UAE next week for Emirates ID and residence visa, please would I need to undergo another medical exam in the UAE?

2. Do I need to have the minimum 1000 USD required at the POE? Kindly note that my sponsor is going to take care of all expenses (flight, accommodation, feeding etc.)

Thank you.

I sent you a DM pls reply.
