The programme provides a firm grounding  in advanced quantitative methods, taught within an applied social science  framework. The programme is designed to be accessible to non-statisticians yet  more focussed than most of the existing Masters courses in social research  methods. The MSc course offers relevant and marketable skills for a career in  research and is recognised for PhD training by the Economic and Social Research  Council (ESRC). Modules are taught with an emphasis on hands-on training in the  application of methods and software. The programme is available full-time over  one year or part-time over two years.  Scholarships that will cover the fees of up to three  excellent full time (Home/EU) students or of one excellent full time overseas  student are currently available. In the case of exceptional applicants, in  addition to the fees, and subject to funds being available, we will consider  offering a bursary towards living expenses. The fees for full time Home/EU  students are £3,500 and for full time overseas students £11,300.  Both Home/EU and overseas students are eligible for  these scholarships. The scholarships will be awarded on the basis of academic  excellence and potential, which will be judged based on academic qualifications  and performance and prior experience in social research methods and/or  statistics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The deadline for applications is Wednesday 31st  March.&lt;br /&gt;Everyone applying for a full time place in the MSc programme by March  31st 2010 will automatically be considered for these scholarships. Successful  applicants will be notified by May 14. When applying, please submit with your  application, a CV, an analytic transcript of your degree and two academic  reference letters.

Very simple. To feed on blood. But, human blood makes mosquitoes wild. This is really interesting secret. But it is no longer a mystery. Scientists have found why it is so. Yes, American scientists have identified that it is because of a kind of pheromone - nonanal. The only other organism to secret this substance are birds. But at least I have never seen mosquiotes feeding on birds, may be mosquiotoes can not reach birds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, this discovery, will certainly lead in the long run effective programs in controlling deadly epidemic diseases like Malaria. The next logical step now is to understand the sensory mechanism in mosquitoes that is responsible for recognising the nonanal, with the help of technologies like Scanning Electron Microscopy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the contrary, medicines can be discovered targeting to reduce the level of nonanl secretion be human or diulte its concentration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, you can read the findings in the following link&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nsf.gov/discoveries/disc_summ.jsp?cntn_id=116286&amp;amp;WT.mc_id=USNSF_1"&gt;Why Human Blood Drives Mosquitoes Wild&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5978186691065281726-2121392578969222668?l=bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com/feeds/2121392578969222668/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com/2010/02/secret-of-mosquito-attraction-towards.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5978186691065281726/posts/default/2121392578969222668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5978186691065281726/posts/default/2121392578969222668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com/2010/02/secret-of-mosquito-attraction-towards.html' title='Secret of mosquito attraction towards human unearthed'/><author><name>Bikramjit Sinha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15666040297067452277</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/Se8W0Y5gR1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/X5kn9zA5YWE/S220/B+(17)+-+Copy.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978186691065281726.post-8556311645347199966</id><published>2010-02-15T00:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-17T00:02:36.328-08:00</updated><title type='text'>SHILLONG: The Pine City</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Shillong, commonly known as the 'Scotland of the East' is very close to heart.

The first is Shillong in the north eastern part of India and the other is England. There are reasons behind my desire. The first one was due to its natural beauty and the second one is for its intellectual power.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortunately, I got an assignment to work in Shillong for few years. And I suggest, if you are a nature lover, a lover of cleanliness, you should visit Shillong and its adjoining areas at least once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the appealing attractions as I experienced them are:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="color: lime;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The&amp;nbsp; water falls in and around Cherrapunjee - the ex-wettest place in the world&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kMAEIljLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/AjGcqk6vz_o/s1600-h/100_1258.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kMAEIljLI/AAAAAAAAAAw/AjGcqk6vz_o/s320/100_1258.jpg" width="240" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: lime; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The lush green surroundings across the state&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kMcMBVi5I/AAAAAAAAAA4/r5wwjG079QE/s1600-h/DSC01443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kMcMBVi5I/AAAAAAAAAA4/r5wwjG079QE/s400/DSC01443.JPG" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: lime; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Neat and clean and well-maintained roads&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kMsR7E8mI/AAAAAAAAABA/YOT2xQRBf4I/s1600-h/100_1231.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kMsR7E8mI/AAAAAAAAABA/YOT2xQRBf4I/s400/100_1231.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: lime; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: magenta;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Must see cave interiors near Cherrapunjee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kNBPJEVBI/AAAAAAAAABI/SOl_FCxcCsU/s1600-h/100_1282.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/S3kNBPJEVBI/AAAAAAAAABI/SOl_FCxcCsU/s400/100_1282.jpg" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;I have traveled&amp;nbsp; almost across the state during my 5 years stay.

He looked at it, then wrote something on the edge and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it, for sh e was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Finally she looked, and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She read these words ... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;"Paid in full with one glass of milk" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Tears of joy flooded her eyes as her happy heart prayed: "Thank You, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;God, that Your love has spread broad through human hearts and hands." &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #38761d;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;There's a saying which goes something like this: Bread cast on the waters comes back to you.

The globe is getting wormer day by day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But there are some twists which has created a sort of confusion among the general people. For instance, emails stolen by hackers from leading climate change research centres accuse scietists of manipulating data and the phenomenon of climate change is being exagerrated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Add to this irony,a picture story that appeared in the Times of India yesterday reports one Janardan Negi, a distinguished theoretical geophysicist from India claims that the globe is infact cooling in contrary to the common belief of the occurence of global worming.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, the question is which opinion to believe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, the debate over authenticity of climate change data specially the melting of the Himalayan glacier seems to have geared up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever may be the case with the data. But it is sure that something is wrong which is evident from the frequent occurrence of disasters. So, I feel, it is the responsibly all and one concerned to do their bit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will be posting in my views about the steps that needs to be taken to reduce the burden on earth, creating less pressure on it or at the most allowing the earth as much time as possible to replenish its resources.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5978186691065281726-7348239845942886435?l=bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com/feeds/7348239845942886435/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com/2010/01/global-worming-what-is-real.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5978186691065281726/posts/default/7348239845942886435'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5978186691065281726/posts/default/7348239845942886435'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bikramjitsinha.blogspot.com/2010/01/global-worming-what-is-real.html' title='Global Warming: What is real?'/><author><name>Bikramjit Sinha</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15666040297067452277</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_VAZPUTUdFq0/Se8W0Y5gR1I/AAAAAAAAAAM/X5kn9zA5YWE/S220/B+(17)+-+Copy.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978186691065281726.post-4219241416545814053</id><published>2009-04-22T06:18:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-01-30T00:06:57.199-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Informal Innovation'/><title type='text'>Formalising Informal Innovations</title><content type='html'>I am currently working on approaches in formalising informal innovations.
