Good morning everyone, plz what does it mean "( [b]The resulting slurry is aged at 60 ºC over night )"

(2) Also how do I weigh 50mmol of NAOH, what I mean is how many grams of NAOH am I going to weigh

It means the mixture in paste-like is left over night probably 24 hrs under at a set temperature of 60 degrees.



(2) Also how do I weigh 50mmol of NAOH, what I mean is how many grams of NAOH am I going to weigh

You cannot weigh [b]mole
. Convert the mmol (milimol) to grams. This is most basic chemistry.

Mole = mass/molar mass.

Mass = mole * molar mass ……..(eq)

calculate the molar of NaOH
Convert millimole to mole

Put all in that equation to get the mass you will weigh.

Good Morning and happy Sunday great Researchers. Pls I'm in dire need of finance to purchase my Msc form to UNN. I'm currently a new corp member but have not been paid for last month. This is not a joke that's why I posted this with my real account.
The form price is #26,700 and it's been open for sometime now, I fear it may end soon. Pls help me, I'll send prove if I'm requested to
Any amount will go a long way

Hello, Pedro

It's surely nice to see that you desire to pursue your postgraduate studies.

On a lighter note, I should add that you need your NYSC discharge certificate to apply for an MSc programme in Nigeria. This means you may not be able to proceed with your plan until you have completed your mandatory service year and your certificate issued by the body.

You may consider to apply at a time when you may be able to attach your discharge certificate as a supporting document to your application.


I hope this helps.



Best regards.

Wow, I actually reconsidered when I asked around, it seems this ongoing form sale is for October batch, unfortunately I will still be serving. I'll try when I'm rounding up my service.

Hello,
Go to google scholar, type the word (say for example 'adsorption of heavy metals'). Download not less than 25 journal(mostly last 5 years and at least ten review inclusive). Take your time to read each with a dictionary and search the meaning of each word. By the time you done, you self go know watin you want to ask. Hope it helps.

On the other hand I have questions to ask here but let me finish my findings first.

Yea, this thread helped my especially @Prof Wip journals during my seminar. Downloaded and studied not less than 115 journals. Was so rigorous but at least I made an A. And my grades significantly improved from probation I passed. Thanks all for you contributions. Currently on thesis. So stressful coupled with Nigerian factors - strike, etc.

Now, to my question. How 'good' is Indian educational sector. Got an offer for a PhD, but the visa laws (best to my findings online), students are not allowed to work. And it seems the unemployment rates is similar to Nigeria. The school offers 50% scholarship (amounting to $2500 p.a) and a teaching assistantship (about $200/m). By my calculations, also I might need about $4000 for feeding and housing.
How, feasible is it to work in India and pay for studies even if I managed to pay for the first academic year. Also I asked the Admission Officer, she said no other cost. I kept wondering if the research project is also covered in their tuition.

I don't know much about the Indian educational system especially for foreigners,but one thing is 'universal': The scholarship covers the research project (50% as stated in your submission above).

You are not allowed to work in India. It is illegal to do so. As a matter of fact, you will need to be submitting your Statement of Account (6 months) each time you are renewing your Research Visa or Residence Permit. The sole aim of this is to track the inflow of money into your account. Your sure bet is to find a fully funded scholarship that covers all your expenses (monthly stipend inclusive). One of such scholarships (ICCR Scholarship) closed in March or so. And some Nigerians are already getting offers.


The school offers 50% scholarship (amounting to $2500 p.a) and a teaching assistantship (about $200/m)- You can avail this opportunity only, since it is a part of your admission package. Outside this, you cannot work elsewhere without running into trouble.

Food is very cheap in India, however, accommodation is somehow on the high side. If you are willing to cook your own food by yourself, 8-10k rupees is more than enough monthly. For the accommodation, you might be paying between 5 to 8k rupees (for university's hostel) depending on your location.

In general, the educational sector in India is slightly above that of Nigeria. This still depends on you university involved and your Research Supervisor. Some supervisors will make you to publish your work in predatory journals! (check where your potential supervisor is publishing for a better choice). Their NITs and IITs are generally good. However, getting an offer there for Indians is even difficult let alone foreigners. Although some Nigerians/Africans are there but there number is insignificant.

"universal"- speaking from a Nigerian perspective, once you pay school fees. You still still fund your research project/thesis. That's my focus. Despite the Admission Officer saying no more payments, I don't take people's words 100℅ (based on my experience and others), except proven otherwise! I don't want to start and get stuck up (I cant come and be begging in a foreign land oh). Thanks for your reply.

Six months statement of account for residency permit - while in India or Nigeria? Predatory journals after @Wip7 admonitions! Nah, that would definitely be an issue. If I may ask, why would someone (a supervisor, in this case) want to publish in such a journal? Yea, their NITs and IIT are dam good, that's my target fa.

Re: Thread For PHD Students by semmyk(m): 11:35am On Jun 28, 2022
On face value, 10 Scopus, 3 SSCI/IBSS doesn't look too bad for postdocs, generally speaking.
A research concept or aligning with one, might be the differentiator.

Regarding papers, the higher you go, the more the 'impact' counts, beyond the listing; obviously outright predatory are out of the eqn.
I tend to look at journal info in Scimago. You can also compliment with Clarivate JCR.

For biz, ABS AJG (UK and globally) or ABDC (Pacific) should be reference points.
PS: your Small business and Strategy tilts towards biz.
If you list your SSCI/IBSS and Scopus, we might be able to feedback (you can just list the journals without the citations)
