Yeah, an abstract is the summarized version of the literature review, methodology applied, results, trend and quantitative conclusions.

In your case, kindly supply them with 200-400 words if there is no word count:

The abstract can be structured in three parts:

1. The first part is the introduction section, give the background, the global and specific issues, and the hypothesis (about 3-4 sentences). This should take 40%.

2. The second part abstracts: the proposed/frequently used methodology for data gathering, give a brief overview of the proposed sampling/methods and techniques to use in gathering your data (about 2-4 sentences). This part should take 50% of the abstract.

3. The third part abstracts: the Proposed solution you intend to provide to the challenges/issues in the first part. This should take 10% of the abstract.

Best wishes!

Thanks very much Sir...

Good day prof Wip
.....Still on my interest on agro-based adsorption method of water treatment
Sir, what are the criterias to look at when choosing an adsorbent material for research, that is, How do we know that a particular material can be good adsorbent for water treatment (then to proposed it for a research), or might have the potential of adsorbing something.

Is there analysis or practical to carry out on the material to know.
Thank you.

Also I still can't access those materials, is saying error after download. Thanks

Adsorption is based on surface property, the affinity of the adsorbent towards the adsorbate, then both physical and chemical characters of the potential adsorbent are necessary.

For agro-waste, the catch is that it can be subjected to valorization (value-added) and also serves as an emerging research area called bio-economy (becoming popular in Western Europe now) and cost implication.

Apart from the low-cost of the agro-based adsorbent, the potential adsorbent must have a high surface area, well-developed porosity (for trapping pollutant), environmentally friendly, easy to process, have useful functional groups that may be attractive for selective adsorption of pollutant. Can be regenerated and can stand high reuse cycles. You have to characterize such potential adsorbent before you can know its physicochemical characters.

Meanwhile, you can visit ScienceDirect for various agro-based used for adsorption. Attached is one sample review you can always find many.

Good day all pls any M.sc student in uniport here ??

Hi Prof,

Unfortunately, i have several publications in these fake Indian journals. Is there a way to recall them? I am thinking of upgrading them to a standard one.

Thanks

wip7:


First, article publication in reputable journals goes through several stages which is beyond the power of the author and in most cases the editor. The longest stage is the peer reviewing stage which varies between 15 days to 5 months, revision stage, acceptance stage, proofing and production stage, online article publication stage. All reputable journals pass through these stages irrespective of the publishing house (Elsevier or springer or Taylor’s or Willey).

No fixed time or days and it is Daylight lie that it takes 6 months for Elsevier to get back to you. It maybe as short as 1 month or even longer than 10 months....no fixed days ....That’s how publication in reputable journals goes.

80% if my papers come from Elsevier, 15% from Springer and 5% from Taylor’s & Francis. From my experience I publish 1-4 months and in 2018 I published 12 papers, 2019 Target is 20 papers 65% reached while others under review.

I think your focus should be on the quality, significance, innovation and industrial applications of your publication. Only fake Indian journals and the likes publish in 10 days and such articles published in predatory and fake journals are strongly frowned upon and lowers the reputation of the authors/academic involve. All well ranked universities focus more in reputable and quality research output in well recognized journals irrespective of publication time.

Please don’t listen to excuses from failures ... such always give negative energy to everything they could not achieve ...

Best wishes

Thank you very much Prof. Will look into it
So grateful

Since you already published these research studies, you may have to let go and do more newer research to publish in reputable journals. You may wish to retract them if such journals allow that. Those Fake Indian journals usually bring down the profile of reputable academics.

However, when you have more from reputable journals it will swallow the fakes.

From my years of experience, I have been able to secure funding and various research collaboration due to my research output since every other organization will be interested to evaluate the applicant based on their profile.

Hi Prof

Please I need your assistance in getting journals on an Animal Science research work( basially growth in rabbit). I intend starting my PhD program in January 2020, but I need to get a research topic to work on. Thanks

wip7:


The publication must be reputable (must be SCI, SSCl, WOS).

Since in this particular case, we are talking about Turkey, only researchers with Turkish affiliation or where there articles carry Turkey as address are paid and funded.

I want clarification on something. I understand SCI is maintained by Clarivate Analytics and there is the SCI Expanded, which is accessible through Web of Science. Seeing that you did not put SCOPUS in the indexes above, does this means that publication indexed under SCOPUS are not considered?

I am trying to ascertain if universities in Turkey give credence to Web of Science than SCOPUS.

Yes, only articles published in journals indexed under SCI/SCI-e/SSCI/AHCI and found in WOS (web of science) are paid by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey.

However, some of the universities give some credence to SCOPUS-based journals. Majority of universities in developed nations rank it this way for now SCI=SCI-e=SSCI=AHCI=WOS....then SCOPUS.

Reason being that Scopus is a large interdisciplinary database from Elsevier, however, WOS is a collection of databases and covers more than SCOPUS, stricter in its citation sources (excludes non-reputable/unknown publishers sources for its citation).

This is nice and you have an awesome academic background. Actually, this will largely depend on your personal interest. If I were in your position, I would go for either of these areas:

1. Computer Fraud & Security (This will be useful in various real-life applications due to increasing threats by cybercriminals and allied criminals)

2. Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (This is very important practically and gaining worldwide usage)

3. Energy Storage Materials

4. Circuits design for biomedical and optical communication systems

5. Intelligent fault detection, fault analysis, diagnostics and monitoring

is there any external fully funded scholarship that can support ones phd in australia? got admission but cant do without scholarship

Hello, Prof.
Thanks for the good work. I can see you have come way back and it’s not easy responding to many questions but U have managed to do so.

To my question: I have a weird profile:
B.A. in History - 2009
Master of Business Administration (MBA)- 2014
MSc in Management - 2018
I really desire to do my PhD abroad, but getting a an affordable University and meeting the admissions requirements seems difficult due to my profile.

Mainly, I have interest in Organizational Behavior and Entrepreneurship. While I have seen that these two research focus seem to stand on its own at Master and PhD.

While I understand that it is a personal decision, I will like your expertise and wealth of wisdom in determining which area is the best to pursue in light of my Academic profile (background).

Anyone with advice can also weigh in on this pls. Thank you.

From my experience and considering research from developed nations and the demand and need in developing nations. I will suggest research focusing on Entrepreneurship. Bunch of research areas can be designed from Entrepreneurship looking at emerging markets, management aspects, energy, forecasting, merger, micro-geographical diversity etc. Both your Masters will be useful in that line.

Although, most of the universities would prefer your undergraduate to be in line if not you will be given foundational courses to allow you to blend and brush your background.

You can start doing research in your chosen area, collect data and publish in a good journal, this will aid you as you move into PhD program or while seeking admission.

My Recent Research Publication: Water Soluble Eco/bio-friendly Polymeric Materials for Antibacterial Activity

Here, my PhD student focused on designing various high-performance bio-friendly polymeric materials that will be useful for food packaging. We were able to modify the functionality and chemical structure of the polymeric materials to improve its solubility in water, hence improving its practical ability.

Results: We investigated 10 different bacterial species and The time-kill study revealed that 5 mg of our material exposed to the bacteria cells is sufficient to kill 99.9% of the bacteria within 24 h. The material is tested for food packaging, waterborne bacterial and textile effluents with relatively high performance.

Research Publication: The results of this PhD study have now been published in two Reputable SCI journals (Polymer bulletin and Pharmaceutical Sciences).

Researcher: PhD candidate (a lecturer sponsored by Nigerian govt)

Supervisor: Prof. WIP7

Research Location: Eastern Mediterranean University (EMU)

Hello prof, please I need your guidance, am thinking of writing a research proposal oil spill cleanup using low-cost materials as absorbent, but can't decide on d appropriate materials for the adsorbent, because they have to be hydrophobic and oleophilic in nature. Please sir,can you enlighten me on some of the choices available.... Thinking of modified chitosan.

Oily wastewaters are heterogeneous in nature, thus containing various types of oils, metals, surfactants from detergents, metals etc......The content/composition and concentration of oily wastewaters varies greatly between various industries. Therefore, to design effective treatment technology for oily wastewater, there are few points/parameters to be considered.

1. Type of treatment technology
2. Type/content of oily wastewater
3. The salinity of the oily wastewater
4. What will you use the treated water for will determine the degree of the treatment.
5. Weather system (is it iced water oil spill or ambient temperature (non-frozen) water)
6. Size of the oil droplets

In practical application, combine treatment technology will be effective for enhanced oil spill cleaning. The common effective combination is based on membrane filtration and adsorption technology. You have indicated the use of adsorption technology and your focus is on polymeric adsorbent (chitosan).

Chitosan has gained tremendous success when it comes to wastewater treatment due to its bio-friendly nature and modifiable functional groups. Commonly, we have oil droplets in the range of 10-50 μm which is suitable to be treated by adsorption technique, however, 50-150 μm will be suited for membrane filtration (majorly Forward osmosis) and beyond 150 μm will be suited for advanced oxidation processes.

In recent years, hybrid materials/adsorbents have received much interest owing to high adsorption efficiency, high surface area and strong affinity. You can modify the chitosan with functional agents to make it hydrophilic, considering the hydrophobic property of oil droplet. Hence, you may prepare grafted or modified chitosan considering the following, to modify or graft the chitosan:

1. dimethyl acryloyloxyethyl benzyl ammonium chloride
2. Silica
3. Polyacrylamide
4. Alginate
5. Catalytic metal oxides (CuO, Fe2O4, ZnO)
6. Zeolite (this is commonly used in oil industries)
7. layered double hydroxides composites (LDH)

My suggestion: Prepare LDH and modify chitosan with the LDH. Read about LDH and check the efficiency and properties. LDH/Chitosan adsorbent or membrane can be prepared and used in both the fixed-bed column treatment system or via batch adsorption. If you want to use in batch system, you can prepare LDH/chitosan beads which are easy to prepare.

Here is an example of modified chitosan with alginate for oily wastewater treatment.

Find here my work published on LDH:

Environmental Chemistry Letters 17 (2019), 487-494
Applied Catalysis B: Environmental 243 (2019) 243-252
