Application for 2009 Japanese Government (MONBUKAGAKUSHO:MEXT) Scholarship (Embassy Nominated Students)

noreply@blogger.com (onlinereviewman) — Sat, 23 Aug 2008 07:57:00 +0000

	1. Preliminary Screening

		To apply for this Scholarship, you must first pass a preliminary screening that is conducted by the Japanese Embassy. For further information about this, see "5.SELECTION AND NOTIFICATION" in the guidelines for Monbukagakusho scholarship applicants. [English] http://www.mext.go.jp/a_menu/koutou/ryugaku/boshu/08031213/002.pdf [Japanese] http://www.mext.go.jp/a_menu/koutou/ryugaku/boshu/08031213/001.pdf

		2. Request for Letter of Acceptance

		The candidates who pass the preliminary screening must submit (1) the copy of the same set of documents as those submitted to the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General, and (2) a certificate of the preliminary selection issued by the Japanese Embassy/Consulate General, together with the following (3) Information Form, to the Keio University International Center no late than August 31. Information Form Address: Keio University International Center 2-15-45 Mita, Minato-ku Tokyo 108-8345 JAPAN As the application documents will NOT be returned, make sure you retain a copy for your records. Those who are interested in Graduate School of Science and Technology will send documents to the address below. Address: Keio University International Center Yagami Office Faculty of Science and Technology Yagami Campus 3-14-1 Hiyoshi, Kohoku-ku, Yokohama 223-8522 JAPAN Faculty Profile Links: To complete the Information Form, you can access information about Keio faculty through this website. http://www.ic.keio.ac.jp/en/study/mext/facultyprofile.html Tips for searching for a supervisor: While you are free to contact potential supervisors directly regarding their research fields, it is often better to consult with your university advisor and seek an introduction through her or him to a Keio professor that is best suited to your research interests. Alternatively, you may also find it helpful to review academic journals and other resources open to the public in order to find a potential Keio supervisor. International Center would not introduce any professors to you. English Based Courses: Please note that Keio University only has an English based course at the Graduate Schools of Science and Technology, Media and Governance, and Media Design. The applicant who seeks to obtain a degree at the Graduate Schools other than these Graduate Schools is required to have a native level Japanese knowledge, since the entrance examination and all the courses are in Japanese. Although the MEXT provides a 6-month language training period, this will not be enough to prepare for the entrance examination if you are a Japanese beginner.

		3. Notification

		After screening your documents, the International Center contact the faculty based on "Information Form" to issue a letter of acceptance. This acceptance letter will be sent to the address provided in your Information Form. Please note that Keio University does not guarantee that a letter of acceptance will be sent to every applicant. In the event an acceptance letter cannot be issued, the International Center will inform the applicant through the email address provided in the Information Form.

		4. University Placement

		Finally, it is the Monbukagakusho, a Japanese government agency, that determines university placement. Neither the applicant nor Keio University has authority to make this decision or influence its outcome. Additionally, a Letter of Acceptance does not, of itself, guarantee an assignment to Keio University.

Adaptive music is defined as computer-generated music that can be influenced, consciously or unconsciously, by the audience or individual listener. Adaptive music is a type of interactive music where interaction does not place specific demands on the part of the user in regard to expertise or training. Adaptive music is a quickly expanding field, which is gaining increased application in computer games, web design, net art and experience design.

Research will be conducted within the framework of The Danish Institute of Electronic Music (DIEM) at the Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus in collaboration with The Department of Computer Science and the Institute for Information and Media Sciences (IMV) at the University of Aarhus.

The project will explore how adaptive musical processes can be used to induce critical reflection as well as creative involvement on the part of the listener.

This will be achieved by

1. examining, charting, describing and analyzing existing forms of adaptive music

2. establishing criteria for functional design in adaptive musical systems

3. creating new forms of adaptive music through case studies within the established design criteria

4. evaluating case studies in light of research in interaction and interface design

Research will be based upon theories and methods in the areas of human computer interaction and interface design and upon an empirical research approach derived from case studies. Case studies will be supplemented with the investigation of listener/user evaluation of functionality and artistic quality in adaptive music.

The PhD position will be given to a qualified applicant with a relevant education and degree with a background in interactive music, programming and digital audio.

The PhD scholar will be enrolled as a PhD student at the Faculty of Humanities, University of Aarhus, with the aim of completing a PhD degree at the Institute of Information and Media Studies, University of Aarhus. The PhD scholar will be affiliated with the postgraduate programmes of study ICT, Communication, Media Studies and Journalism.

PhD Studentship - Ocean Modelling for Marine Renewable Energy

noreply@blogger.com (onlinereviewman) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:18:00 +0000

The Marine Institute and the School of Earth Ocean and Environmental Science at the University of Plymouth have secured joint funding from Great Western Research and industrial partners for a study on the application of regional ocean modelling for planning and environmental impact assessment purposes for tidal stream energy generation. This study presents an exciting opportunity to apply leading edge research in coastal oceanography to the development of marine renewable energy and to work closely with industrial partners which are actively involved in device development, marine energy generation, and renewable energy planning and permitting.

Project description The next step in the development of commercially viable tidal stream energy technology is the realization of deployments of arrays of devices. This step will require tools for proper resource assessment as well as determination of the potential environmental impacts due to these arrays. This project will develop a tool for performing such activities through the adaptation of a coastal ocean modelling system for the task. This tool shall be able to account for real world conditions such as complex bathymetry, free surface and bottom boundary layers, flow stratification and time varying flow conditions. The developed product shall be applied to a real world scenario during the course of the project.

Complete project details can be found at http://www.greatwesternresearch.ac.uk/formproj.php?sessionId=&action=Details&id=351

We are looking for an MSc or BSc graduate in a relevant discipline such as oceanography, engineering, or marine or environmental sciences, with a keen interest in numerical modelling and the development of marine renewable energy. You will be a member of the Coastal Processes Research Group www.coastalprocesses.org in Plymouth but will work closely with collaborators from a companion project based at the University of Bristol and the industrial partners in Bristol. Desirable skills include familiarity with coastal ocean modelling, coastal oceanography, and/or hydraulic engineering and high computer literacy as well as familiarity with common programming languages. Training will be provided as required.

The preferred starting date for the studentship will be 1 July 2008.

The studentship is for three years and the student will receive a stipend of £12940 per annum and tuition fees (approximately £3250 pa).

The studentship will only fully fund those applicants who are eligible for Home/EU fees with appropriate qualification.

Applicants eligible for overseas fees would have to cover the difference (approximately £5625) between the Home/EU tuition fee and the tuition fee for an overseas student.

Applicants should send a CV, a statement of interest and contact details of two academic references to Mrs Ann Treeby, Science Research Admin Assistant, University of Plymouth, A504, Portland Square, Drake Circus, Plymouth, PL4 8AA or by email to ann.treeby@plymouth.ac.uk

Interviews are planned for two weeks after the closing date.
