Accompanying The Routledge Doctoral Student’s Companion this book examines what it means to be a doctoral student in education and the social sciences, providing a guide for those supervising ...students. Exploring the key role and pedagogical challenges that face supervisors in students’ personal development, the contributors outline the research capabilities which are essential for confidence, quality and success in doctorate level research. Providing guidance about helpful resources and methodological support, the chapters:
frame important questions within the history of debates
act as a road map through international literatures
make suggestions for good practice
raise important questions and provide answers to key pedagogical issues
provide advice on enabling students’ scholarly careers and identities.
While there is no one solution to ideal supervision, this wide-ranging text offers resources that will help supervisors develop their own personal approach to supervision. Ideal for all supervisors whether assisting part-time of full-time students, it is also highly suitable for helping academics to support international students who confront Western doctoral traditions and academic cultures, helping both supervisor and student to understand why things are as they are.

A helpful, engaging guide to the revision of scholarly
writing by an editor and award-winning author
"Pamela Haag has been called 'the tenure whisperer' for
good reason. Any scholar who hopes to ...attract a wider audience of
readers will benefit from the brilliant, step-by-step guidance
shared here. It's pure gold for all aspiring nonfiction
writers."-Nancy MacLean, author of Democracy in Chains: The
Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for
America Writing and revision are two different
skills. Many scholar-writers have learned something about how to
write, but fewer know how to read and revise their own writing,
spot editorial issues, and transform a draft from passable to
great. Drawing on before and after examples from more than a decade
as a developmental editor of scholarly works, Pamela Haag tackles
the most common challenges of scholarly writing. This book is
packed with practical, user-friendly advice and is written with
warmth, humor, sympathy, and flair. With an inspiring passion for
natural language, Haag demonstrates how to reconcile clarity with
intellectual complexity. Designed to be an in-the-trenches desktop
reference, this indispensable resource can help scholars develop a
productive self-editing habit, advise their graduate and other
students on style, and, ultimately, get their work published and
praised.
This unique handbook provides a vivid multidisciplinary dimension through technological perspectives to present cutting-edge research in the field of natural coloration and finishing. The 20 chapters ...are divided in to four parts: substrates for coloration and finishing; renewable colorants and their applications; advanced materials and technologies for coloration and finishing; and sustainability.
The Handbooks of Applied Linguistics provide a state-of-the-art description of established and emerging areas of Applied Linguistics. Each volume gives an overview of the field, explains the most ...important traditions and their findings, identifies the gaps in current research, and gives perspectives for future directions.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is among the most important medical imaging techniques available today. There is an installed base of approximately 15,000 MRI scanners worldwide. Each of these ...scanners is capable of running many different "pulse sequences", which are governed by physics and engineering principles, and implemented by software programs that control the MRI hardware. To utilize an MRI scanner to the fullest extent, a conceptual understanding of its pulse sequences is crucial. This book offers a complete guide that can help the scientists, engineers, clinicians, and technologists in the field of MRI understand and better employ their scanner.
·Explains pulse sequences, their components, and the associated image reconstruction methods commonly used in MRI·Provides self-contained sections for individual techniques·Can be used as a quick reference guide or as a resource for deeper study·Includes both non-mathematical and mathematical descriptions ·Contains numerous figures, tables, references, and worked example problems
Designing and building structures that will withstand the unique challenges that exist in subsea operations is no easy task. As deepwater wells are drilled to greater depths, engineers are confronted ...with a new set of problems such as water depth, weather conditions, ocean currents, equipment reliability, and well accessibility, to name just a few. A definitive reference for engineers designing, analyzing and instilling offshore structures, this book provides an expert guide to the key processes, technologies and equipment that comprise contemporary offshore structures. Written in a clear and easy to understand language, the book is based on the authors 30 years of experience in the design, analysis and instillation of offshore structures. This book answers the above mentioned crucial questions as well as covers the entire spectrum of subjects in the discipline, from route selection and planning to design, construction, installation, materials and corrosion, inspection, welding, repair, risk assessment, and applicable design solutions. It yields a roadmap not only for the subsea engineer but also the project managers, estimators and regulatory personnel hoping to gain an appreciation of the overall issues and directed approaches to subsea engineering design solutions.
