What are the reservation rules?
For detail click on this link to get all the detail about rules of reservation - http://www.indianrail.gov.in/reservation_Rules.html
Can I book a ticket from for any destination from any station in India?
Yes, you can. In fact, you can book your ticket for any train on the Indian Railways network, from any originating station to any destination* at any of the Computerized Reservation Centre’s, across the country. With the networking of New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Secunderabad and Chennai Passenger Reservation Systems, you can now book your onward and return journey tickets from any computerized Reservation Centre nearest to you – not just from major railway stations. This networking makes reservation of tickets faster and simpler.
* Reservations can be made subject to distance restrictions and availability of quotas.
How many days in advance can I reserve my ticket?
You can reserve your ticket 60 days in advance, excluding the date of journey at the train Originating station. At intermediate stations where the train arrives the following day, Reservation can be done 60 days in advance. In the case of some intercity day express trains, the advance reservation period is less.
How do I know the reservation status of my ticket?
The reservation status will be clearly indicated in your ticket. If your ticket is confirmed, your coach and berth numbers will be mentioned on your ticket in all classes other than First Class and AC First Class. For these, the word “Confirmed” will be printed alongside the class of travel. If your ticket is in RAC (Reservation against Cancellation)/Waitlisted status, the same will be mentioned on the ticket.
Can I board the train with a RAC ticket?
You can board the train with an RAC ticket. You will be provided with sitting accommodation initially and allotted a berth (in case of passengers not turning up) in the train.
How can I board a train in the reserved coach if I am not able to get a waitlisted ticket?
If you don’t have any ticket, you may approach the Train Superintendent/TTE after purchasing an unreserved ticket from the booking office. The TTE will allot the accommodation, subject to availability.
How do I find out the current status of my unconfirmed ticket?
You can contact the Enquiry Counters at your nearest Computerized Reservation Centre or call 139 from your mobile, landline phone to The Interactive Voice Response System, available at major stations. Remember to always quote the 10 digit PNR Number indicated on the upper left hand corner of your ticket, to find out the current status. The current status of your ticket can also be obtained from the following http://www.indianrail.gov.in/pnr_Enq.html
How does the Railway Automatic Telephone Enquiry System work?
The railway telephone enquiry system is automated telephone enquiry system, which gives you details of accommodation availability and the current status of your tickets. Dial 139 from any mobile, landline phone of any network to get detail.

All about train ticket and berth status

All about train ticket and berth status

The advance booking for indian train ticket opens 60 days before the date of journey. Tickets can be booked both offline at Passenger Reservation System (PRS) or online using irctc website. Ticket booked online can be an e-ticket ( which is a print-out / sms) or an i-ticket wherein the PRS ticket is couriered to the passenger.
All the tickets issued have a unique 10-digit PNR (Passenger Name Record) which you should quote for any correspondence regarding your ticket / journey. The ticket also contains all the other journey details like train number, journey date, travel class, origin, destination, ticket status, berth details for confirmed tickets, passenger details etc. Maximum of six passengers can travel through one ticket. But just having a ticket does not guarantee that your journey is confirmed. It all depends on the ticket status. All the passengers in a ticket are assigned a ticket status which can be waiting (WL), RAC (a half berth), or confirmed (full berth). These are explained below in detail:
Waiting List (WL): If the passenger status is marked as WL followed by a number then the passenger has a waitlisted status. This can get confirm only if the passengers who have booked before you for the same journey cancel their ticket. For example if the status is GNWL 4 / WL 3 , then this means that you have a waiting list of 3 (the latter number) and your ticket will get confirmed only if 3 passengers who have booked before you for the same journey happen to cancel their journey. Similarly, GNWL/AVAILABLE means that current status of your ticket is CONFIRMED because some passengers who booked before you have cancelled their tickets. This status also gives some insight into the current ticket cancellation trends for this journey. For more on this, visit Trainman's trend analysis. In case the passenger status is waitlisted even after the chart preparation, then the passenger is not allotted any berth. If all the passengers on an e-ticket have waitlisted status after chart preparation, then the ticket gets automatically cancelled and the amount is refunded back to the user’s account. In this case, the passengers should NOT board the train. Waiting list can be of various types:

GNWL: General Waiting List (GNWL) waitlisted tickets are issued when the passenger begins his/her journey at the originating station of a route or stations close to the originating station. This is most common type of waiting list and has got the highest chances of confirmation.

RLWL: Remote Location Waiting List (RLWL) means ticket is issued for intermediate stations (between the originating and terminating stations) because usually these are the most important towns or cities on that particular route. This type of tickets will be given a separate priority and confirmations will depend on the cancellations of a destination confirmed ticket. For this type of ticket there are less chances of confirmation.

PQWL: A Pooled Quota Waiting List (PQWL) is shared by several small stations. Pooled Quotas normally operate only from the originating station of a route, and there is only one Pooled Quota for the entire run. The Pooled Quota is generally allotted for passengers travelling from the originating station to a station short of the terminating station, or from an intermediate station to the terminating station, or between two intermediate stations.

RLGN: Remote Location General Waiting List (RLGN) is issued when a user books a ticket where WL quota is RLWL. This means after ticket booking RLWL gets named as RLGN.

RSWL: Roadside Station Waiting List (RSWL) is allotted when berths or seats are booked by the originating station for journeys up to the road-side station and distance restrictions may not apply. This waiting list has also very less chances of confirmation.

RQWL: If a ticket is to be booked from an intermediate station to another intermediate station, and if it is not covered by the general quota or by the remote location quotas or pooled quota, the request for the ticket may go into a Request Waiting List (RQWL).

CKWL: For tatkal tickets, the waiting list issued is CKWL. If CKWL ticket goes up, it directly gets confirmed and doesn’t go through RAC status unlike GNWL. During chart preparation, general waiting list (GNWL) is preferred over tatkal waiting list (CKWL) therefore tatkal waitlisted tickets are less likely to get confirmed. Follow these tatkal booking tips to get a confirmed tatkal ticket.

If you have booked a waiting ticket or you are deciding whether to book a ticket where current status is waiting, then check your chances of confirmation i.e. ticket will get confirmed or not.
Reservation Against Cancellation (RAC): If a user has been issued an RAC ticket, then most likely his ticket will get confirmed by the time of chart preparation and he will get a berth. In case the ticket remains RAC even after chart preparation (if the coach number is preceded by R i.e. RB1, 31 means RAC seat no 31 in coach B1), then user is allotted a half berth (seat) i.e. two persons having RAC ticket status are allotted one side-lower berth. The TTE is obligated to allot berths which are cancelled after chart preparation to these RAC passengers.
Confirmed (CNF): In this case the passenger gets a full berth for the journey. In case of first AC (1A), the passenger may not get berth details even for confirmed ticket when ticket is issued. This is because the berth allotment for this class is done manually by the TTE on chart preparation.

Notification about e-mails offering online registration for Aadhaar

UNIQUE IDENTIFICATION AUTHORITY OF INDIA PLANNING COMMISSION, GOVERNMENT OF INDIA

It has come to our notice that certain agencies are circulating e-mails offering online registration for Aadhaar. These e-mails also suggest residents who have already received Aadhaar need to re-enrol. The UIDAI would like to clarify for the benefit of general public the following points:

Enrollment for Aadhaar is done at designated Aadhaar enrolment centres only. The resident needs to visit only these enrolment centres. The UIDAI does not currently offer online enrollment.
The list of enrolment centres can be seen online at Where To Enroll
Appointment for Aadhaar enrolment may be obtained online at the following link https://appointments.uidai.gov.in/ However, for actual enrolment process, physical presence of the resident is a must.
There is no last date for enrolment. Residents can enroll anytime as per their convenience at the designated centres. Enrolment for Aadhaar is a continuous process with no last date.
Sharing of bank related details is voluntary and not mandatory. In case a resident wishes to open a new bank account linked to resident's Aadhaar number or link an existing bank account with Aadhaar, then they may provide the relevant information on the enrolment form at the time of enrolment.
Resident's data shared with UIDAI while enrolling is fully safe and it is not shared with anybody without resident's consent.
The residents who have already received Aadhaar or enrolled for Aadhaar need not enroll again unless specifically advised in writing by the UIDAI.

Some useful tips and tricks in LaTeX

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 07:26:00 +0000

Some useful tips and tricks in LaTeX.

Here are some useful tips and tricks in making your LaTeX document look like you want it to. I've collected these mainly from comp.text.tex, but some are from other sources. Note that the authors' e-mail addresses are protected with a XYZZY that must be removed.

If you don't find the answer to your problem here, the UK TeX Users Group maintains a TeX FAQ. And if you're looking for general information about distributions and packages, you might want to search in the UK TeX archive. Anyway, this is my own collected list:

Equations, math mode

Figures

Fonts

Page or text layout

Headers and footers

Chapters, sections and references

Tables

BibTeX

Suppress trailing period (.) after title

Miscellaneous

Literature

If you've got a problem, the solution is probably described in one of these books.

How to make $x^i_j$ different from $x_j^i$

Source: Mike Piff <M.Piff@XYZZYshef.ac.uk>

Discussion:

In some cases, it might be better to use $X^j\vphantom{X}_i$ and $X_i\vphantom{X}^j$ , respectively, so the subscript and superscript will both know about the height and depth of the preceding character. For an X, it may not make a big difference, but in other cases it might.

MP:

Surely, as I mentioned in a separate, detached thread, it is more logical to use

$X_i^{\phantom{i}j}$ and $X^j_{\phantom{j}i}$?

Are there any known bugs in this? (As for \vphantom?)

A wider hat than \widehat

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

How do I get a wider hat (and tilde) than \widehat and \widetilde?

A:

If you use the amsfonts package (and the ams fonts) you get a wider wide hat, but it is still not very wide. Alternatively (As you would have known if you were a member of UKTeX as it was described in the last Baskerville) The rather nice yhmath package of Yannis Haralambous provides much bigger wide hats tildes and similar widgets.

Aligning operators in a system of equations

Source: David Kastrup <dak@XYZZYmailhost.neuroinformatik.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>

Q:

What is the preferred way for aligning the operators in a system of equations? I have tried various LaTeX and AMSTex environments such as eqnarray and align but I can't find a good way of aligning systems of equations (other than on the = sign) when coefficients are absent.

A:

Use the alignat environment with empty spacing between "equation sets", namely, && instead of just & to separate alignment points.

Binominal sign without AMSTeX

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

As a matter of fact, I try to avoid plain TeX commands in LaTeX; but I had to use \choose for binomial coefficients.

What is the LaTeX recommended command (if any :-) to use instead of {a \choose b} ?

N.B.: I do NOT want to \usepackage{amstex} just to define \binom (Companion, page 229).

A:

The recommended way is to go

\def\binom#1#2{{#1\choose#2}}

and then use \binom{a}{b}

oops! I meant to say of course

\providecommand{\binom}[2]{{#1\choose#2}}

As David Kastrup has pointed out earlier in this thread at a package level LaTeX programmers do need to use TeX primitives. However the important thing is *documents* there one should try to keep a consistent and clean syntax.

Troubles using the epsfig package

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

It seems that eps files are a bit easier to get in and are more easily scaled with the graphicx package rather than with the standard package. As for syntax which worked, here are a couple of variations:

...
\usepackage{epsfig}
....

A:

The epsfig package really is not recommended for new documents. It is there to give some kind of compatibility with the past, and with the LaTeX Companion book which was printed before the graphics package was finished.

Using \usepackage{graphics} or \includepackage{graphicx} will provide an interface that is better documented and better tested.

Norwegian letters in gnuplot plots

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

[description of trouble transferring Norwegian letters from gnuplot to LaTeX]
PS: I have tried the supposedly failproof {\aa} for å. Still no reaction.

A:

Well å is supposed to turn itself into \aa, so both of these are equally `supposedly failproof'

The problem is in fact your preamble, [...], or rather a combination of your preamble and the stuff that gnupot added.

Your preamble says \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} which tells LaTeX you are using T1 encoded fonts (and in particular tells LaTeX where to find \aa).

Unfortunately the autogenerated code you showed had

\font\gnuplot=cmr10 at 10pt
\gnuplot

which is a horrible TeX primitive font load, which slips into the old TeX encoding without informing LaTeX of anything....

So solutions are to either just remove that all together, or to put \fontencoding{OT1}\selectfont before the start of the gnuplot stuff to tell LaTeX that you are using OT1 encoding at that point. The inputenc based latin1 encoding should work unchanged with either the T1 or OT1 font encoding. (As you are in Norway, in Iceland there is the problem that the OT1 encoding misses thorn and eth.)

PS
I think you should report this as a bug to the maintainers of gnuplot.

Placing figures HERE!

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

I want to stop my figures and tables from floating and in th past I have used Here.sty, but for some reason it is giving me an error with latex2e. Does anyone know if this useful style file has been revamped per the latex2e conventions. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

A:

I went off the idea of here.sty. It always was better really to set the float placement parameters in a way such that the floats can be set, rather than using the sledgehammer approach the here.sty used to disable the entire mechanism.

So I got the ctan archives to delete here.sty (even the old version that worked with 2.09) rather than do the update to 2e.

LaTeX now has a ! possibility and [!ht] probably does what you want and has the big advantage of guaranteeing that floats stay in the right order.

However if you are really keen on the [H] for HERE! from here.sty it made its way into float.sty which was updated for the current LaTeX, so you can use that. Look on ctan; `quote site index float' should find it. Float package has some other nice features so you may want it even if you don't use [H].

Framing a Postscript file

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

I have used the lines below to include and frame a postscript image in my latex2e document. The result, however, is the image overlayed on the top left corner of the box. In other words, the image does not get framed properly. Can somebody give me an insight?

\fbox{\centerline{\includegraphics[angle=90,width=5.0in,
height=3.0in]{xcon1.ps}}}

A:

The construction \fbox{\centerline{{..}} is wrong (but not the cause of your problem) \centerline make a TeX box the full width of the line, \fbox makes a box that is wider than that by 2 times (\fboxrule + \fboxsep) so the whole thing is wider than the textwidth and so bound to make an overfull box that sticks out on the right.

The way to do make a full width frame with stuff centred in it is to go

\noindent\framebox[\textwidth]{....}

If the image is not staying inside the box it means that the bounding box in the original file is wrong, which is a *bug* in the software that produced the PS file. You can give an alternative bounding box by using the bb=1 2 3 4 key. What numbers you should use instead of 1 2 3 4 depend on the file you have. There exists software to calculate this, or just print out your file xcon1.ps and measure the bottom left and top right coordinates in inches, and multiply by 72 to get these coordinates in points.

Centering of too wide figure

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYklopfer.zdv.uni-mainz.de>

Q:

I am using the graphicx package for including Figs:

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \begin{center}
    \leavevmode

    \includegraphics[width=15cm]{somefig.eps}
    
    \caption{Somecaption}
    \label{fig:somefig}
  \end{center}
\end{figure}

However, the Fig is slightly broader and doesn't fit into the default margins. It is aligned with the left margin. Is there a way of placing it in the center (without changing the text margins) ?

A:

> \begin{figure}[htbp]
>   \begin{center}
>     \leavevmode
> 
>     \includegraphics[width=15cm]{somefig.eps}

don't do that!

you ised to need \leavevmode in fromt of the old \psfig command from the psfig package due to a bug in its LaTeX support, but even there, it should be *directly* in front of the command, not with a blank line between.

As you have it you have a `white' paragraph before the figure. The simple rule is. Don't use \leavevmode in LaTeX documents, it should never be needed.

To answer your question, make a list environment that sets the margins appropriately, eg copy the quote environment, but change the signs so the margins are decreased not increased.

Too many unprocessed floats

Q:

I get the error message `too many unprocessed floats'. What should I do?

A:

LaTeX can only handle 18(?) floats before deciding how and where to print them. There are at least two solutions. First, you can enter some text between your floats. If that isn't an option, let LaTeX process it's floats by forcing a new page with \clearpage.

Is there an easy way to install new fonts

Source: tim@XYZZYmaths.tcd.ie (Timothy Murphy)

Q:

I was wondering if some kind soul could let me know the *simplest* way to actually install a new font for LaTeX under unix. I can find lots of (presumably) nice fonts on the CTAN sites, but seemingly no concise instructions on how to install them. I would imagine that I have to put them in some directory, which is pointed to by one or more envirnonment variables, and then TeX should call Metafont when needed. Or is there more to it than this?

A:

It depends on what version of TeX/LaTeX you are using, and also the format in which the fonts are given.

Assuming that the fonts are in *.mf format, then all you probably need to do is to create the appropriate .tfm file(s) and leave it/them in an appropriate place, eg where other .tfm files are. Thus if your font is foo.mf you might say

% mf "\mode=cx;mag=1;input foo"

This should create foo.tfm and foo.*gf . You can ignore the latter. Now put foo.tfm in the same directory as other .tfm files.

LaTeX only needs the .tfm files, but when you come to use dvips or xdvi the PK files will be required. These are usually made automagically by running the script MakeTeXPK, so you need do nothing.

One last point. Some systems keep a "database", probably called ls-R, to speed up looking for fonts, etc. If yours does you may need to run some program to update "ls-R".

Q:

Could anybody tell me how to type in LaTeX a calligraphic capital L, the one used to designate L_k function spaces (\mathcal{L} is not "calligraphic" enough...)

Ralph Smith's rsfs fonts are very popular. There is a package mathrsfs.sty to use them at the CTANs.

\documentclass{artilce}
\usepackage{mathrsfs}
...
\[

Of course you need the rsfs fonts too, also available at the CTANs eg

\marginpar without considering item as float

Source: David Carlisle <carlisle@XYZZYma.man.ac.uk>

Q:

What I want to do is to define a command like \marginpar that does the job but that does not consider its items as floats. It should directly put the item in the margin. I don't care if two items fall onto each other, because I can solve that by hand.

A:

You need to use \vadjust (LaTeX purists will tell you at \vadjust is a TeX primitive not a LaTeX command, but tell them it's OK to use primitives as long as they are not called \over)

A simple version is

\newcommand{\mymarginpar}[1]{%
\vadjust{\smash{\llap{\parbox[t]{\marginparwidth}{#1}\kern\marginparsep}}}}

Double line spacing

Source: Alain Kessi <alain.kessi@XYZZYpsi.ch>

Q:

Hi! The LaTeX manual has succeeded in completely confusing me. I'd like to make a double-spaced document (because my profs want it that way), and the manual mentions that I should use the \baselinestretch command. How? It's not very clear, but then i am only marginally experienced! Any help on this would be much much appreciated. Thanks!

A:

You can use

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5} % or 2, or whatever

If this is in your preamble, then it applies to the entire document (also the captions and footnotes). If you want just part of your document double-spaced, then you'd better use the setspace package or, if you insist on using \baselinestretch, you need to follow it by a \normalsize command to update all the variables that depend on \baselinestretch.

Source: Alain Kessi <alain.kessi@XYZZYpsi.ch>

Q:

What's the easiest way to change the line-spacing globally in a TeX document? Also, what's the easiest way to do this from a certain point on?

A:

The LaTeX Companion tells you to use

\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.66}\normalsize

The figure 1.66 (and not 2) should give double spacing. The size changing command is necessary for the \baselinestretch change to take effect.

Have a look also at the setspace package, available on CTAN (ftp.cdrom.com). If you don't want captions and footnotes double spaced, this may be the way to go.

I wish to have smaller text in tables

Use the fancyhdr and lastpage packages

\usepackage{fancyhdr,lastpage}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\lhead{Economics 309\\Spring 1997}
\rhead{H. Farber\\Page \thepage~of \pageref{Lastpage}}

That's it. Depending on your document, a \thispagestyle{fancy} may also be needed for the first page.

Suppressing page breaks

Q:

I have the following code in a document I am writing.

 
These are:\nopagebreak 
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|}

Where the \nopagebreak is I am getting a page break. How can I suppress it?

A:

\nopagebreak does not suppress the page breaks that are deliberately inserted around environments like {center}. You have three options:

Use {centering} rather than {center} which inserts no extra space and does not add a page break point.

Use \centerline{ } rather than \begin{center}...\end{center} with similar non-spacing.

Put \begin{samepage}...\end{samepage} around the whole mess.

Different numbering style in chapter and figure/table

Source: asnd@XYZZYreg.triumf.ca (Donald Arseneau)

Q:

My thesis must have chapter numbers which occur in the text like so:
....as in Chapter~IV, we see that...
And yet still have figures, tables, equations, and everything else still be numbered in arabic, like so: Figure 4.3.

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}

But then I noticed that the change occurs for Figures, Tables, Equations, and everything which, of course, makes sense, but is not a satisfactory solution to the problem.

A:

You are just about there. The problem is that tha table, figure, and section numbering are defined in terms of \thechapter, so you automatically get the same style of numbering:

\thefigure =  \thechapter.\arabic{figure}

Now you don't want the same style of numbering, so you can specify the style explicitly, different from \thechapter:

\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}}
\renewcommand{\thesection}{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{section}}
\renewcommand{\thetable}{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{table}}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{chapter}.\arabic{figure}}

Prefix appendix with "appendix"

Source: asnd@XYZZYreg.triumf.ca (Donald Arseneau)

Q:

I prefer an appendix heading to be like

A:

Assuming you don't have subsections in the appendix:

\appendix
\renewcommand\thesection{Appendix \Alph{section}}

which puts "Appendix" also in all the \ref commands, or

\appendix
\makeatletter
\def\@seccntformat#1{Appendix\ \csname the#1\endcsname\quad}
\makeatother

Both of these put Appendix before subsection numbers also, like Appendix A.2.

For subsections numbered without a name:

\appendix
\makeatletter
\def\@seccntformat#1{\csname Pref@#1\endcsname \csname the#1\endcsname\quad}
\def\Pref@section{Appendix~}
\makeatother

(better would be s sty or cls file that defined \appendix to do this.)

How to set up 8 points text in a table

Source: piet@XYZZYcs.ruu.nl (Piet van Oostrum)

Q:

I am trying to latex an 8-pt file (a 5-page table of data), but it insists on coming out as 10pt. I use the art8 and xarticle options, but they don't seem to work. It appears to call art10.sty and art8.sty for some reason, and to use art10? Can anyone help me figure out what I am doing wrong? Various relevant info is listed below.

A:

xarticle and art8 are probably not compatible with a modern LaTex. On the other hand if you only want to change the fontsize you can do so with the \fontsize command. If you have your table insize a float (table environment) you must do this after the \begin{table}

Rotating tables

A:

Do you mean rotate.sty?

Q:

\setbox1=\hbox{
\begin{table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{c|c}[hbt]

A:

(about the use of [hbt]): is this meant to be the optional parameter for the table environment? It may help if you start with reading the LaTeX doc. Besides that if you leave out the p you may tempt LaTeX to do some nasty things.

Q:

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
}

I get an error. Any help is greatly appreciated!

A:

You can't use a table environment in anything else.

With the rotate package you can do the following:

\newsavebox{\rotbox}

\begin{table}[hbtp]
\sbox{\rotbox}{
\begin{tabular}{c|c}
  a & b \\
\end{tabular}}
\sbox{\rotbox}{%
\begin{minipage}{\wd\rotbox}
\usebox{\rotbox}
\caption{Test}
\end{minipage}}
\rotate[l]{\usebox{\rotbox}}
\end{table}

The \wd\rotbox as the width of the minipage is only useful if the table is wide enough, but I suppose if it wasn't there would be no reason to rotate it.

A:

Both within LaTeX's \twocolumn and within the multicols environment defined by the multicol package (often preferrable to \twocolumn, since it balances the columns on the last page and lets you change between two- and one-column modes without starting a new page), you can insert full-width floats by using the starred form of the float environments: figure* and table*.

[English useage] Correct punctuations with abbreviations

Source: real-address-in-sig@XYZZYastrid.u-net.com (Rebecca and Rowland)

Q:

Typographical conventions are not only dependent on the language and the regions, but also on individual publishing house. For example, Oxford adds a full point after abbreviations like Mr/Dr while Cambridge doesn't. (IMHO, when an abbreviation comes after a letter, a full point is put there, when it occurs betweeen letters, an apostrophe is put there!!).

A:

The Oxford guide to English usage says this of abbreviations:

It is usual to indicate an abbreviation by placing a point (full stop) after it, e.g.

H. G. Wells, five miles S. (= south), B.Litt., Kt., Sun. (= Sunday), Jan. (=J anuary), p. 7 (= page 7).

However, no point in used:

With a sequence of capitals alone, e.g. BBC... (and not, of course, with acronyms, e.g. Aslef, Naafi).
With the numerical abbreviations 1st, 2nd, etc.
C, F (of temperature), chemical symbols, and measures of length, weight, time, etc.
Dr, Revd, Mr, Mrs, Mme, Mlle, St, Hants, Northants, p (= penny or pence)
In words that are colloquial abbreviations, e.g. co-op, decaf, demi, recap, trad, vac.

LaTeX Font Sizes

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 12 Dec 2014 06:30:00 +0000

Changing the font size in LaTeX

Posted on 29. August 2012 22 Comments

Changing the font size in LaTeX can be done on two levels, either affecting the whole document or parts/elements of it. Using a different font size on a global level will affect all normal-sized text as well as the size of headings, footnotes, etc. By changing the font size locally, however, a single word, a few lines of text, a large table or a heading throughout the document may be modified.

Changing the font size on a document-wide level

The standard classes, article, report and book support 3 different font sizes, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt (by default 10pt). The font size is set through the optional argument, e.g.:

\documentclass[12pt]{report}

In most cases, the available font sizes for the standard classes are sufficient.

Other font sizes
Should you require a different font size for your document, use the extsizes package. It allows for the following font sizes: 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt.
The documentclass names are slightly different from the standard classes:

%Article

\documentclass[9pt]{extarticle}

%Report

\documentclass[14pt]{extreport}

The KOMA-script and memoir class
The KOMA-script and memoir classes are more flexible when it comes to font sizes. Please see the documentation for more details.

Changing the font size locally

LaTeX knows several font size modifier-commands (from biggest to smallest):

\Huge

\huge

\LARGE

\Large

\large

\normalsize (default)

\small

\footnotesize

\scriptsize

\tiny

A table of the exact font sizes in points can be found on wikibooks.
A good rule of thumb is don’t use too many different sizes and don’t make things too small/big.
There are two possible ways to use these font size modifier commands, inline or as environment:

% inline

{\Large This is some large text\par}

% environment

\begin{footnotesize}

...

\end{footnotesize}

The \par at the end of the inline example adjusts baselineskip, the minimum space between the bottom of two successive lines. See the example in Rob’s comment below.

A few more options
The moresize package adds two more to the list above, \HUGE and \ssmall. The latter fills the gap between \scriptsize and \tiny.
While using \HUGE, LaTeX displays a warning saying the font size is not available for the standard font and that it was replaced by the next smaller (\Huge). When using another font type, such as the Adobe Times Roman equivalent available in the PSNFSS package (see example below), however, you can benefit from that font size.

\documentclass[11pt]{report}

\usepackage{mathptmx}

\usepackage[11pt]{moresize}

...

{\HUGE A huge text}

{\ssmall Can you still read this ``ssmall'' text?}

Note: The figure is scaled and therefore does not show the actual font size. It illustrates the difference between the font sizes.

Still not enough?

Here is alternative, more flexible approach. The anyfontsize package scales the next bigger/smaller font size available to whatever size you like.
The two arguments to \fontsize are the actual font size and the size of the baseline-skip. The baseline-skip should be set to roughly 1.2x the font size.

\fontsize{size}{baselineskip}

The following example shows font size 50pt/5pt and compares them with \Huge and \tiny.

\documentclass[11pt]{report}

\usepackage{mathptmx}

\usepackage{anyfontsize}

\usepackage{t1enc}

...

{\fontsize{50}{60}\selectfont Foo}{\fontsize{5}{6}\selectfont bar!}

{\Huge Foo}{\tiny bar!}

That’s more like it! Again, this only works with a non-standard font type. And again, it does not show the actual font size. Try it with LaTeX!

Very interesting post, but I think you are missing something: Every once in a while if you change font sizes, the line height is not adjusted – resulting in large space between two lines. Maybe you could comment on that as well in this post? It would fit nicely…

Sure!

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage[english]{babel}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

% Normalsize text

\blindtext

% Scriptsize text with normalsize line spacing

{\scriptsize

\blindtext}

% Scriptsize text with scriptsize line spacing

{\scriptsize

\blindtext

}

% \par does the trick as well

{\scriptsize

\blindtext

\par}

\end{document}

Cool, thanks Rob!
I wasn’t aware of that issue. Will change it in the post.

Hi Tom, How I can change the font type in LaTeX for parts/elements of a document?
Thanks Humberto Munoz

  I found the answers to a similar question on SX pretty good.
  Hope it helps,

The relsize package might also be worth mentioning in this context.

The line height is assigned at the end of the paragraph.
So perhaps the solution for your doubt is to use

{\tiny Foo foo foo ... foo \par}

or

{\Huge Foo foo foo ... foo \par}

Thanks a lot for this article and especially for the hint to use \par to adjust line spacing. Could you please add a short explanation on *why* this fixes the spacing?

  Hi Smufos,
  Thanks for your question! The command \par ends the paragraph, that’s for sure. Now why \par does the trick, I’m not entirely sure. Apparently, TeX reads the whole paragraph first for optimal space adjustment between words. And manually ending the paragraph seems to also adjust \baselineskip when the font size is changed, whereas standard paragraph ending (blank line) does not. “The TeXbook” by Donald E. Knuth would be the right place to look for an answer :-).
  Cheers, Tom.

Thanks for the article, but how can one adjust font size of all equations globally? I mean a global math size which differs from global text font size?
II seems ridiculous to change the math font size in big projects manually!

  Hi Homa,
  Interesting question, thanks! You want to use the command \DeclareMathSizes as explained in the answer to this question.
  Hope it helps,

Hi, I’m dealing with a monospace type 1 font that is not part of CTAN, I used the fontinst instructions and they work well but it is a little too big when used inline with another font.
I noticed some fonts have a scale option that can be passed to their usepackage command that corrects this issue but I have no clue how to go about adjusting my .sty for that.
This is the extent of my lucimono.sty file:

\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}

\ProvidesPackage{lucimono}[2007/01/31 v.0.3 lucimono (Lucida Mono) package]

\RequirePackage[T1]{fontenc}

\RequirePackage{textcomp}

\renewcommand*{\ttdefault}{2lm}

\endinput

and it has worked well for years when used with lucida bright (I don’t like the monospace font that comes with lucida bright – I think it’s Lucida Typewriter, different than Lucida Mono) but when I use it with Times – it just is a little too big.
Any clue on where I need to look to find out how to add a scale option to my lucimono.sty file?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your question. I’m not an expert on fonts really. However, what I read while trying to better understand your problem is that people recommend using luximono instead, which supports scaling through an optional parameter (see code below). You can download and install the luximono font as described here. In case you really need to use lucimono fonts, take a look at the luximono style file and how the scaling is done.

\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage[scaled=0.87]{luximono}

\renewcommand*\familydefault{\ttdefault}

\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{textcomp}

\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}

\blindtext

{

\fontencoding{T1}\fontfamily{cmr}\selectfont

\blindtext

}

\end{document}

Best, Tom

I want to write my Ph. D. Thesis in Gulliver font of latex. What should be the document class and commands for the font?

  Hi Abhik,
  Thanks for this interesting question! You can find an informative discussion on the Gulliver font here. Briefly, the Gulliver font is proprietary and no similar free font exists. In case using this particular font for your thesis is a university requirement, they should have a license and be able to tell you how to install it on your system. Otherwise, you might want to take a look at the LaTeX font catalogue and pick another font you like. Sorry for the “bad” news.
  Cheers, Tom

LaTeX Math Symbols

Prepared by L. Kocbach, on the basis of this document (origin: David Carlisle, Manchester University)

File A.tex contains all necessary code
This file is prepared by running
latex A.tex
and cutting the pictures out of the resulting preview. Relevant parts of the latex code are reproduced under each of the pictures.
Some of the symbols have an explanatory text. This text is found in the latex code, mostly stating that they are parts of some spacial setup and cannot be used in standard LaTeX. Each of the figures also has a link to itself.

This article will provide a short list of commonly used LaTeX symbols.

Operators

Command	Command	Command
\pm	\mp	\times
\div	\cdot	\ast
\star	\dagger	\ddagger
\amalg	\cap	\cup
\uplus	\sqcap	\sqcup
\vee	\wedge	\oplus
\ominus	\otimes	\circ
\bullet	\diamond	\lhd
\rhd	\unlhd	\unrhd
\oslash	\odot	\bigcirc
\triangleleft	\Diamond	\bigtriangleup
\bigtriangledown	\Box	\triangleright
\setminus	\wr	\sqrt{x}
x^{\circ}

Relations

Command	Command	Command
\le	\ge	\neq
\sim	\ll	\gg
\doteq	\simeq	\subset
\supset	\approx	\asymp
\subseteq	\supseteq	\cong
\smile	\sqsubset	\sqsupset
\equiv	\frown	\sqsubseteq
\sqsupseteq	\propto	\bowtie
\in	\ni	\prec
\succ	\vdash	\dashv
\preceq	\succeq	\models
\perp	\parallel	\\|
\mid

Negations of many of these relations can be formed by just putting \not before the symbol, or by slipping an n between the \ and the word. Here are a few examples, plus a few other negations; it works for many of the others as well.

Command	Command	Command
\nmid	\nleq	\ngeq
\nsim	\ncong	\nparallel
\not<	\not>	\not=
\not\le	\not\ge	\not\sim
\not\approx	\not\cong	\not\equiv
\not\parallel	\nless	\ngtr
\lneq	\gneq	\lnsim
\lneqq	\gneqq

To use other relations not listed here, such as =, >, and <, in LaTeX, you may just use the symbols on your keyboard.

Greek Letters

Lowercase Letters
Command	Command	Command	Command
\alpha	\beta	\gamma	\delta
\epsilon	\varepsilon	\zeta	\eta
\theta	\vartheta	\iota	\kappa
\lambda	\mu	\nu	\xi
\pi	\varpi	\rho	\varrho
\sigma	\varsigma	\tau	\upsilon
\phi	\varphi	\chi	\psi
\omega

Capital Letters
Command	Command	Command	Command
\Gamma	\Delta	\Theta	\Lambda

Headline text

Arrows

Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command
	\gets		\to
	\leftarrow		\Leftarrow
	\rightarrow		\Rightarrow
	\leftrightarrow		\Leftrightarrow
	\mapsto		\hookleftarrow
	\leftharpoonup		\leftharpoondown
	\rightleftharpoons		\longleftarrow
	\Longleftarrow		\longrightarrow
	\Longrightarrow		\longleftrightarrow
	\Longleftrightarrow		\longmapsto
	\hookrightarrow		\rightharpoonup

	\uparrow		\Uparrow
	\downarrow		\Downarrow
	\updownarrow		\Updownarrow
	\nearrow		\searrow
	\swarrow		\nwarrow

(For those of you who hate typing long strings of letters, \iff and \implies can be used in place of \Longleftrightarrow and \Longrightarrow respectively.)

Dots

Accents

Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command

Command	Command	Command
\hat{x}	\check{x}	\dot{x}
\breve{x}	\acute{x}	\ddot{x}
\grave{x}	\tilde{x}	\mathring{x}
\bar{x}	\vec{x}

When applying accents to i and j, you can use \imath and \jmath to keep the dots from interfering with the accents:

Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command
	\vec{\jmath}		\tilde{\imath}

\tilde and \hat have wide versions that allow you to accent an expression:

Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command
	\widehat{3+x}		\widetilde{abc}

Others

Command	Command	Command
\infty	\triangle	\angle
\aleph	\hbar	\imath
\jmath	\ell	\wp
\Re	\Im	\mho
\prime	\emptyset	\nabla
\surd	\partial	\top
\bot	\vdash	\dashv
\forall	\exists	\neg
\flat	\natural	\sharp
\backslash	\Box	\Diamond
\clubsuit	\diamondsuit	\heartsuit
\spadesuit	\Join	\blacksquare
\S	\P	\copyright
\pounds	\overarc{ABC}(it works)	\underarc{XYZ}(it works)

Command Symbols

Some symbols are used in commands so they need to be treated in a special way.

Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command
	\textdollar		\&		\%		\#
	\_		\{		\}		\backslash

(Warning: Using \$ for will result in . This is a bug as far as we know. Depending on the version of LaTex this is not always a problem.)

European Language Symbols

Command	Command	Command	Command
{\oe}	{\ae}	{\aa}	{\o}
{\OE}	{\AE}	{\AA}	{\O}
{\l}	{\ss}	!`

Bracketing Symbols

In mathematics, sometimes we need to enclose expressions in brackets or braces or parentheses. Some of these work just as you'd imagine in LaTeX; type ( and ) for parentheses, [ and ] for brackets, and | and | for absolute value. However, other symbols have special commands:

Command	Command	Command
\{	\}	\\|
\backslash	\lfloor	\rfloor
\lceil	\rceil	\langle
\rangle

You might notice that if you use any of these to typeset an expression that is vertically large, like

(\frac{a}{x} )^2

the parentheses don't come out the right size:

If we put \left and \right before the relevant parentheses, we get a prettier expression:

\left(\frac{a}{x} \right)^2

gives

\left and \right can also be used to resize the following symbols:

Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command	Symbol	Command
	\uparrow		\downarrow		\updownarrow
	\Uparrow		\Downarrow		\Updownarrow

Multi-Size Symbols

Some symbols render differently in inline math mode and in display mode. Display mode occurs when you use \[...\] or $$...$$, or environments like \begin{equation}...\end{equation}, \begin{align}...\end{align}. Read more in the commands section of the guide about how symbols which take arguments above and below the symbols, such as a summation symbol, behave in the two modes.

In each of the following, the two images show the symbol in display mode, then in inline mode.

Command	Command	Command
\sum	\int	\oint
\prod	\coprod	\bigcap
\bigcup	\bigsqcup	\bigvee
\bigwedge	\bigodot	\bigotimes
\bigoplus	\biguplus

Examples

x^y is the same as x^{y}, producing .
x_y is the same as x_{y}, producing .
However, x^10 is not the same as x^{10}. The former produces instead of .

No Aadhaar? You can still avail gas subsidy

No Aadhaar? You can still avail gas subsidy

TNN | Jan 22, 2014, 12.26AM IST

inShare

There is confusion out there in the Aadhaar-based Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG (DBTL).

BANGALORE: Neena Jose, a homemaker from Baiyappanahalli, was perplexed when the cooking gas delivery boy told her that Rs 407 will be credited to her Aadhaar-linked bank account after three days and that her bank account already has Rs 435. She had paid the market price of Rs 1,267 for the cylinder. But she had no idea that money was credited in her account as she was not notified, she says.

There is confusion out there in the Aadhaar-based Direct Benefit Transfer for LPG (DBTL). While some consumers are getting their token advance before their refills are delivered, others are waiting endlessly. However, oil companies and gas agencies maintain cash is being transferred directly to consumers' bank accounts. This is for those who have produced their Aadhaar credentials from December 1, 2013 in Bangalore.

But the authorities swear that it is not mandatory to have Aadhaar to avail the subsidy. Bangalore district is among 34 cities which have been included for DBTL. It was made mandatory in Mysore and Tumkur before the Supreme Court passed an interim order in the LPG-Aadhaar link.

If you have Aadhaar card...

* If you have Aadhaar card and have linked it to your LPG connection, you need to link your bank account with Aadhaar.

* After this, when you book your first refill, the gas company identifies you through your Aadhaar credentials and transfers Rs 435 as a token one time advance to identify you as a DBTL consumer.

* This amount remains in your bank account until you surrender the connection.

* The rest of the subsidy is credited to your account in six to 10 days after verifying with your Aadhaar and bank account.

* From the time you book your second refill to the ninth refill, you pay as per the market price of the cooking gas from your pocket. However you will get the entire subsidy amount in one go. The subsidy is transferred to your bank account in full after six to 10 days

* Thereafter, from the 10th refill onwards, you pay as per the market price without any subsidy.

If you do not have Aadhaar...

* If you do not have Aadhaar but you have a gas connection, you will not be refused a refill.

* You pay only the subsidized amount to the delivery boy.

* If you don't have Aadhaar and you want a gas connection at subsidized rate, you will have to furnish your ration card or a valid identity proof and address proof with the distributing agency.

* The first nine refills will be delivered at subsidized rate and thereafter, will be charged as per market price of cooking gas cylinder.

(Note: Though the oil minister has announced hiking the number of subsidized gas cylinders to 12, it awaits cabinet clearance.)

Payment time varies, don't panic

"We have not made Aadhaar mandatory in Bangalore. We have not refused LPG to anybody not having Aadhaar, till date. We insist consumers to furnish Aadhaar credentials if they have one, to facilitate the subsidy through DBTL. The payment is done through National Payment Corporation of India and DBTL which has tied up with State Bank of India. The payment is done within six to 10 days and sometimes, three days. When people don't get the refund/subsidy immediately, they tend to panic. But there is no need."

Abhijit De, chief area manager, Indane, IOCL

Link one bank account to Aadhaar, LPG

"There is absolutely no confusion between companies and distributors. When we get complaints on reimbursement, we go back to data seeded with our system. Problems arise when a person links the LPG connection with one bank account and Aadhaar with another bank account. People are not checking advertisements which are clear enough. Consumers who don't have Aadhaar are put on separate billing process by distributors. Until you produce an Aadhaar number to the distributing agency, the software with the agency will not show 'scheme change to DBTL'. Normally there are no errors as this is a nationwide software provided by oil companies."

Sathyan N, All India LPG distributors' federation (Karnataka circle)

Oil cos only following advisory

"The case regarding Aadhaar linkage to DBTL is still pending in Supreme Court and the next hearing is scheduled for January 28. The apex court has asked state governments to submit their versions on the case. As for the submission for Aadhaar for LPG subsidy, oil companies are following an advisory kind of method wherein they are asking customers to submit their Aadhaar numbers."

Ashok Lenin, deputy director (Bangalore regional office), UIDAI

From March 10, LPG consumers across the State will pay the subsidised cost price of Rs. 441 per cylinder

Great news on the gas-Aadhaar front. From March 10 onwards, domestic LPG consumers across the State will pay just the subsidised cost price of Rs. 441 per cylinder without depending on the Aadhaar card link up to the bank accounts for reimbursement of the remaining amount.

Clear directives

Clear directives de-linking the gas subsidy from Aadhaar card and bank accounts have reached the gas authorities here and distributors are being asked to start implementing the Aadhaar-less LPG scheme from Monday next onwards.

Those who have already booked for a cylinder and getting it before March 10 will, however, have to pay the non-subsidised price of Rs. 1,200.

Subsidy issue

The rest of the subsidised amount would be later reimbursed into individual bank accounts.

Officials said that they would supply gas cylinders at non-subsidised prices till Saturday, March 8 before reverting to the subsidised rates.

“We have received guidelines to start implementing the Aadhar less scheme on Wednesday evening. We are contacting distributors across the State and HPCL distributors have already confirmed that they will implement the new guidelines from Monday,” said State LPG Gas Co-ordinator, Madhukar Ingole.

one-month delay

Authorities said that almost all gas distributors would start selling cylinders at Rs. 441 by Monday.

“There will be no delivery of gas cylinders on Sunday, March 9. From Monday, a fresh start will be made,” Mr. Ingole said. It was towards January end that the Centre had decided to do away with the much criticised Aadhaar-based direct bank transfer scheme. But, it took a month for guidelines on implementation to reach authorities here.

Uncertainty ends

After the announcement in New Delhi, there was utter confusion as consumers complained that distributors kept selling LPG gas at Rs.1200 a cylinder.

Distributors on their part had maintained there was no communiqué on implementation of Aadhaar-less scheme due to which cylinders were sold at non-subsidy rate.

Cylinders

Consumers will be eligible to avail 12 subsidised cylinders between April 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. For the present year, the Oil Ministry officials have given two cylinders for the months of February and March.

“Consumers who have already booked nine cylinders can book two more cylinders by March 31, 2014 at the subsidised price,” Mr. Ingole added.

The idea of targeting the subsidies to only the needy and deserving is a good concept. But the way it has been handled in the current case is an example of how even good things can be messed up by mishandling and vested interests.

So many had to endure so much of pain and inconvenience, which has finally come to no avail. Is it not necessary to fix the responsibility for this fiasco? Or is it again a decision taken considering the ensuing elections in mind?

There is so much of confusion and overlap between Aadhaar and NPR that it is necessary for the Government to come out with a clear-cut policy guideline. We cannot afford wasteful expenditure, which we are forced to incur, all because of lack of imagination and foresight in the powers that be.

Common man is confused as to why Mr. Nandan Nilekani is planning to contest on a congress ticket leaving the Aadhaar Programme in the lurch!

What is the difference between Science and Engineering?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 21 Nov 2014 04:45:00 +0000

From-- http://www.uoguelph.ca/engineering/what-difference-between-science-and-engineering we've:

Generally, Science is the study of the physical world, while Engineering applies scientific knowledge to design processes, structures or equipment. Both Engineers and Scientists will have a strong knowledge of science, mathematics and technology, but Engineering students will learn to apply these principles to designing creative solutions to Engineering challenges.

=====================================================================

From--https://helix.northwestern.edu/blog/2013/12/what-difference-between-science-and-engineering by Karl Putz Dec 11, 2013

My apple didn't fall far from the tree, but it ended up on the wrong side of the fence. My family is filled with chemists. My mother has a BS in Chemistry, while my father and stepfather both have PhDs in Chemistry. My step-grandfather is an emeritus professor of Chemistry at Northwestern. I, uh, liked physics and math in high school, so I became… a chemical engineer. Instant black sheep status.
I still sit at the kids' table for Thanksgiving (it's more fun there anyways!). Chemists and chemical engineers remind me of siblings; they're so very similar, but their differences make them fight like cats and dogs at times. This does beg the question: What's the difference between scientists and engineers?
It seems that the way it used to be defined is that scientists did fundamental work that was fairly far removed from an application. For example, maybe they figured out a new way to make a molecule (or a new molecule to make). Yay! Unfortunately, they could only make a gram or two in the lab, which was never terribly relevant to industrial scales (often requiring millions of tons per year). Thus, a chemical engineer would come along and tell the scientists, "It's great that you did that, but we can't scale this process up. Figure out a different way to do it that we can actually use." Thus was born great animosity.
So, envision a line that stretches from fundamental research to applied research. On this line, fundamental research represents really, really basic research, like CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) Higg's Boson search stuff. Applied research is somebody running a machine in a factory that makes products sold to consumers. So, in the past there was some line drawn in the sand between applications and fundamental studies, and engineers stayed on one side and scientists stayed on other (see figure below).

I think a lot of that has changed now, especially in the academic research world. There are many professors in science fields (e.g. chemistry) who spin off companies from their research, and engineering professors who couldn't care less about end-use applications.
In light of this, I've redefined science and engineering (how nice of me). Start with the line from fundamental research to applied research that we drew earlier. But, let's erase the "line in the sand" division between scientists and engineers (see figure below).

So, let's think about somebody at CERN who is trying to fix one of the magnets that accelerates particles. I'd call him an engineer. I'm not sure what his title is, and for me, it doesn't much matter. He's trying to make something happen. On the other side, let's take a look at a researcher working in a plant that makes teddy bears. He's studying the fluid mechanics of how the stuffing blows into the body of the bear. He's trying to learn something. I'd call him a scientist.
Through these two examples, I'd say that you can have very applied scientists and very fundamental engineers. So if fundamental and applied no longer define scientists and engineers, how do we define them? I suggest the following method. If a person is asking, "why does this happen?" they are a scientist. Thus, no matter where on the spectrum they stand, they are looking toward fundamental issues. If a person is asking, "How do I make this work?" they are an engineer, and are looking toward the applied end. Therefore, your mindset in doing work determines whether you are a scientist or an engineer, not whether you are applied or fundamental.
For what it's worth, by this definition I'm much more of a scientist than an engineer as I love to understand why things happen, but am not terribly driven by end-use applications.

Science vs Engineering?

Science is concerned with understanding fundamental laws of nature and the behaviour of materials and living things.
Engineering involves the application of science and technology to create useful products and services for the whole community, within economic, environmental and resource constraints.
Scientists discover different ways to generate and use electricity.
Engineers develop principles into practical components used to build power stations and enable the users of electricity to improve the quality of people’s lives.
A scientist may investigate the basic properties of various rock and soil types.
An engineer uses this information to derive engineering properties that are needed to design structures (such as building foundations, retaining walls and tunnels) and to examine the stability of natural and man-made slopes (such as those in dams).

From the article: What Is the Difference Between a Scientist and an Engineer?

Some people say there is no difference between a scientist and an engineer, while other people think the two careers are totally separate from each other. Scientists and engineers typically have strong opinions about what they do, which makes sense, since it involves discovering, inventing, and improving pretty much everything, right? How would you describe the difference between a scientist and an engineer?

The Difference

Scientists are the ones who create the theories, engineers are the ones who implement them. They compliment each other, and often work together, the scientists telling the engineers what to make and the engineers telling the scientists the constraints that said thing to be made doesn't meet. They are indeed different, but they work very close together.
—Guest The Walker

Not VS, but AND

Scientists ask what happens and why in the natural world, while engineers use the answers scientists find to create new inventions and ideas not in the natural world. Both are equally important, as without scientists engineers would not create, and without engineers the research scientists do would be wasted. They go hand in hand.
—Guest ashley

It is not VS but AND

There is hardly any difference between the two. In the end it is all mathematics and physics.
—Guest Logical

Science vs Engineering

Science is about knowledge and engineering about invention.
—Guest Aburo Leusttas

Computer Scientist & Software Engineer

Science is a lot of high level theory and engineering is implementation and optimization. Often a Computer Scientist will come up with a plan that a Soft Engineer have to modify because the theory is not realistic enough to be in production. Engineers deal with math, efficiency and optimization while Scientist deal with "what is possible". A Scientist would be happy spending a million dollar creating a trinket worth 10 dollars as long as it's good science. An engineer don't have that luxury.
—Guest Ying

Can you tell I do English Lit?

Engineering is, in a way, more of a science than science itself is. There is something integrally artistic about searching for knowledge simply for knowledge's sake, as a scientist does, and something slightly less so about the functional, practical, minimalist themes behind most engineering. Science is more romantic, in a way, a never-ending search, engineering limited to goals, profit margins and physical means.
—Guest Michael

Scientist View

I am a scientist who works daily with engineers. I'm generally treated as one of them and often perform the same duties. The main difference is that a scientist focuses on the unknown while the engineer focuses on the "known". We actually complement well when the engineers can overcome their ego.
—Guest Nate

they are the same

i think there is no difference between a scientist and an engineer because both work for nature and humanity
—Guest aqeel

Scientist vs Engineer

As we can see from the list of the Noble Prize in Physics, we can already tell who inhabits that area. Scientists are the ones who starts the process, and their work are sometimes theoretical in manner, but really exciting both mathematically and mystically. Engineers doesn't really need to go that far to serve their purpose. I seldomly see an engineer who knows the strong force.
—Guest muon

THE Difference

Engineers trained for Using tools, where Scientists are trained for Making them. Engineers are Hard Workers, Where Scientists are free Workers. Engineers Spend most of there time to looking at a solution where Scientist spend their time looking at the Problem. Engineers always treats the decease where scientist treats the root of the deceased. Engineers are narrow minded and scientist are broad minded.
—Guest Supun

They are cousines !

Scientists develop theories and work to verify them, Engineers search in these theories to "optimize" things in real life. For instance, scientist may research and find out some properties of a material, engineers look for how to utilize these properties in optimal manner while considering efficiency, cost, and other aspects of interests. There is an overlap between science and engineering. In fact, you may find an Engineer who "develop theories" and a Scientists who "optimize".
—Guest Motasem

Science Vs. Engineering

Scientists, Engineers (and yes, managers) are all after the same thing! Science explores the phenomena of nature and attempts to find the laws that govern them; Engeering attempts to use the laws of nature (already known) to replicate them in situations leading to usable end results; Management provides the logical frame work (What and why -- the strategy and when and how [- the operations) for our efforts through science and engineering! Hence every professional is a scientist, engineer and manager (with different proportions, depending on their job assignment or career choice). Then what is technology? --- Technology is an integrated outcome of sceince, engineering and management pertaining to the phenomena of choice. This Nuclear Technology is the intergation of S/E/M pertaining to nuclear fission or fusion. Automotive technology is a collection of S/E/M efforts pertaining to automobiles and hence include I.C. Engine technology, Steering and Control technology, etc.
—Guest Dr. K. Subramanian

The Honest Truth

Scientists get PhDs; Engineers get jobs I guess my response must be between 50 and 1000 characters so maybe this random sentence will accomplish that.
—Guest TheWanderer

EveryOne else writing cliches

Engineers and scientists do the same jobs. Engineers only learn a particular field in great depth. For example, a physicist will know maxwells laws, and basic circuit theory; but an electrical engineer will have studied next to nothing but electrical phenomena for the same time. Engineering also crosses the traditional boundaries of science- chemical engineers study the physics of chemical reactions on large scales. Both jobs are problem solving jobs. Both involve design testing and innovation. Both can be research jobs involving the study of new phenomena

Science and Engineering: vive la Différence

This essay was motivated by a question from an engineering colleague. It would be presumptuous to say “friend,” as scientist and engineers are in a state of “friendly” rivalry, however, not to the extent as with arts. I once saw a sign in an engineering department hallway that read: Friends do not let friends study arts. Be that as it may, my colleague’s question was why scientists do not show the same order in all their work as they show in writing papers. That question I will attempt to answer in this essay.
Engineering is far older than science, being perhaps the second oldest profession, dating back at least to the building of the pyramids (Imhotep from the 27^th century BCE is the oldest named engineer) and Stonehenge and probably back to when the first club was engineered. Stonehenge is amazing as it was probably built without the documentation that is the hallmark of modern engineering practice. Unfortunately, that means we do not know what the initial requirements[1] were and this has led to much futile speculation as to its purpose.
Science and engineering are sibling disciplines, frequently mentioned together and have much in common. The main similarity is that they both deal with the observable universe and are judged by their ability to make correct predictions regarding its behaviour. For example, that the Higgs boson will be found at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) or that the building will not collapse in an earthquake. Secondarily they use similar techniques, placing high importance on analytic reasoning, to the extent that Asperger’s syndrome is sometimes called the engineer’s disease. The relation between Asperger’s syndrome and engineers or scientists may be an urban myth but it does indicate the relation of extreme analytic thought to both science and engineering. The solution to problems in both relies on the same problem solving skills, analytic thinking and mathematics. Do not let anyone tell you that either does not require a high degree of intellectual activity.
Science and engineering rely on each other. Behind every engineering project is a great deal of science, from the basic understanding of Newtonian mechanics in the building of a bridge to the advanced materials science in the construction of a cell phone. Actually, the cell phone is a good example of all the science needed: it depends on Newtonian mechanics (the construction of the cell phone towers), quantum mechanics (the operation of the transistors), classical electromagnetism i.e. Maxwell’s equations (the propagation of the signal from the tower to the cell phone), materials science (almost all the cell phone itself), and general and special relativity (the GPS timing that is necessary in some cell phone technologies).
Equally, science is beholden to engineering. From simple things like the buildings that house scientific equipment to complicated things like the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Making a building may seem simple but, as I see with the new ARIEL building at TRIUMF, nothing is simple and even something as basic as a laboratory building relies on engineering expertise. The ATLAS detector is another story. Its size and complexity are a marvel of engineering virtuosity. Back to TRIUMF, the IEEE has recognized the TRIUMF cyclotron, commissioned in 1974 and the main driver for much of TRIUMF’s science program, as an Engineering Milestone. Even the slide rule I used back in ancient history as an undergraduate[2] was an engineering achievement.
Despite the close relationship between science and engineering the two are different. The difference can be summarized in this statement: “In engineering you do not start a project unless you know the answer while in science you do not start a project if you know the answer.” Engineering is based on everything being predictable; you do not start building a bridge unless you know you can complete it. In science, the purpose of a project is to answer a question to which the answer is currently unknown. For example, if the properties of the Higgs boson were known, it would not have been necessary to build the LHC. Good engineering practice is based on order but at the center of science is chaos. We are exploring the unknown; great discoveries can come from serendipity. In science, something not working as expected can lead to the next big breakthrough. In engineering, something not working as expected can lead to the bridge collapsing. Advances in science are frequently due to creativity, not following rules.
This difference in perspective leads to very different cultures in the two disciplines. The engineer is much more concerned with process and following procedure. The scientist with following up his most recent hunch—after all, it could lead to a Nobel Prize. Engineering versus science: order versus creative chaos. This is clearly an oversimplification as there is no clean separation between engineering and science, but it is a good indication of the divergence between the two mindsets. Thus, although engineering and science are closely related and indeed intertwined, the two, in their heart of hearts, are very different; engineering uses science in order to build and science uses engineering in order to explore.

Overview

NIMBioS provides an opportunity for postdoctoral scholarship at the interface between mathematics and biological science that builds upon the experiences gained through the many successful postdoctoral fellows who have been in residence at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville over the past decades. Postdoctoral scholars propose synthetic projects that require an amalgam of mathematical and biological approaches, and are expected to include explicit opportunities to expand the scholars previous education. Projects should not require the collection of additional empirical data, but may involve many aspects (collating, formulating data bases, developing models) of synthesizing existing data. Applications are welcome from those with a range of both biological and mathematical prior experience, with highest priority given to those with explicit plans to develop their ability to effectively carry on research across these fields.

Postdoctoral applications are reviewed two times per year and the selected researchers are offered positions at NIMBioS where they conduct research that is mostly self-directed. While NIMBioS encourages its Postdoctoral Fellows to collaborate with established faculty locally and globally, to participate in Working Groups and Investigative Workshops and to interact with visiting scholars, the NIMBioS Postdoctoral positions are expected to be independent researchers. Given the breadth of backgrounds needed to be successful interdisciplinary researchers, NIMBioS will assign two mentors to each Postdoctoral Fellow, with one mentor having more biological experience and the other having more mathematical/computational experience. These mentors are expected to assist the Fellow to broaden their experience, and provide research suggestions, not to direct the Fellows research. Thus, applications which do not have a clearly defined set of research objectives are unlikely to be successful. While it is appropriate for applicants to identify particular local researchers whom they suggest as appropriate mentors, including those who may be most appropriate to assist in broadening the applicants prior experience, this is not necessary.

Postdoctoral Fellowships are for two years (assuming satisfactory progress toward research goals in year one). Under appropriate circumstances applicants may request periods shorter than two years, and in special circumstances a Fellow may request an extension beyond two years. NIMBioS Postdoctoral Fellows are encouraged to participate in grant proposal development workshops offered through UT and Fellows are permitted to serve as a Principal Investigator on grant proposals submitted through NIMBioS.

Outreach Opportunities

NIMBioS will have in place a variety of opportunities for Postdoctoral Fellows to participate in outreach and education opportunities, or to create new ones. These will include opportunities to collaborate with graduate students based at NIMBioS, assist in mentoring participants in the Research Experience for Undergraduates program, assist in developing educational programs at Minority Serving Institutions, develop new quantitative components for the Biology-in-the-Box program, and participate in outreach programs in collaboration with interpreters at Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Fellows who so wish may take on the responsibility for teaching a formal undergraduate course, particularly if this experience will assist them in meeting their career goals. All Fellows are expected to participate in an outreach or education activity of some kind during their tenure at NIMBioS.

Call for Postdoctoral Fellowship Applications

NIMBioS Postdoctoral Fellows are chosen based upon indications that the applicant's research plans are consistent with the mission of NIMBioS, the applicant has the demonstrated ability to carry out the proposed research, and the opportunities provided through NIMBioS will enhance the capacity for the research to be completed in an efficient and timely manner. Fellows are also supported in order to enhance the diversity of the cadre of researchers who are able to effectively address research at the interface between math and biology, and thus a successful applicant will include a plan that indicates how NIMBioS will expand their abilities in this regard. The research questions to be addressed by a Fellow may be either fundamental, applied or both, and may be focused around a particular biological topic, or one from mathematics that is driven by biological insight. We are particularly interested in requests to support research that integrates diverse fields, requires synthesis at multiple scales, and/or makes use of or requires development of new mathematical/computational approaches. In addition to the research responsibilities associated with the proposed project, each Fellow will be expected to collaborate in teams with other Fellows, faculty, staff and graduate students, and to participate in an outreach activity.

Support for a Fellow includes an annual stipend of approximately $51,000, full University of Tennessee employee fringe benefits including retirement and health care plans, and an annual travel allowance of $3,000 for attendance at professional meetings or to meet collaborators. If you have a spouse/partner with appropriate background to be associated with a university academic department, NIMBioS will provide a limited cost-match to the department to encourage an appointment in the unit for your spouse/partner.

Development of new experimental or observational data is outside the scope of activities for NIMBioS Fellows.

Tips for Postdoctoral Fellowship Applicants

Postdoctoral Fellowship applications are evaluated based upon a number of criteria. Below are some suggestions on how to structure a successful application.

1. The proposed research project should address an interesting and important biological question. Your application will be read by Advisory Board members who may not be experts in the biological area of the proposal, so an application should clearly elucidate the questions to be addressed and the relevance of these to major issues in biology. A Background section in the request should make it clear that you are aware of prior work on the questions being addressed, and an Objectives section should point out the main hypotheses for the project and how these relate to prior work.

2. The request should be explicit about the importance of mathematical efforts that need to be carried out to address the objectives of the project. A Methods section should identify previous mathematical work on the topic and point out how this will either be elaborated or applied in new contexts to address the project objectives. Any associated computational challenges should be identified along with a plan for meeting these. A description of the data needs of the project should be included along with a description of how these data will be obtained.

3. An Expected Results section should identify the projected products from your proposed efforts, including a outline of possible journal articles to be produced, software that will be developed, and any educational materials that are expected to arise. If appropriate, you should describe how the results will contribute to national needs in either fundamental or applied biology.

4. If the project is related to your prior research, for example from your dissertation, then the project description should elaborate how the proposed effort differs from your previous work and requires the facilities and expertise available through NIMBioS to be successful. If the project differs significantly from your previous research, the description should identify your capacity for expanding your expertise to be successful in carrying out the project.

5. Throughout you should emphasize why NIMBioS is the appropriate venue to both carry out the proposed research project and to meet your career objectives. Be explicit about any new skills or expertise you wish to develop and how the opportunities available through NIMBioS will assist you in meeting your goals.

6. Your recommenders should clarify in their letters why your experience is appropriate to the project you propose, and your competence to carry out independent research. Thus you should share your project request with your reference writers so that they may address these issues in their letters.

7. If there are mentors at the Univ. of Tennessee or Oak Ridge National Laboratory who are well suited to provide advice to you on the proposed project, please do identify them, but it is not necessary to contact them in advance. Mentors are not directing your research but assist as appropriate in the scientific aspects of the project and in providing career guidance. If there are particular researchers who are not based in the Knoxville area who you would like to collaborate with during your fellowship and suggest as potential additional mentors, do describe the proposed interactions with these individuals. Keep in mind that some funds are provided for travel for Fellows, but that these are limited, so that you should plan on mostly at-distance interactions with potential mentors based elsewhere.

What is interesting about the Private Universities in India is that amongst the Top 10 institutions, nine belong to the Deemed Varsity category and four are venerated Engineering colleges. In other words, the autonomy these institutions have gained on account of their status has done wonders to their performance, a fact highlighted by Dr. G. Vishwanathan, Chancellor of the VIT University, this year’s Top Private University in India.

The listing has also the representation of medical school domain and speciality institution like UPES which is slowly morphing into a multidisciplinary university.
