Hello all,

The matlab download is almost done....now I need to learn to use it!

Can anybody recommend any books on Matlab? I know there are lot's on the market, however I prefer to go with recommendations. Alternatively, are there any 'free' online books?

I look forward to your guidance.

I would be most grateful if some kind soul could locate this articles for me. I can request them through an inter-library loan, but this takes several weeks and I need the articles to help progress.

Fingers crossed and thanks in advance

Hello all, Does anyone know of any 'shut up and write' groups (or similar) in Hertfordshire (UK). Alternatively, is there a website that collates this info. I have tried the usual searches but no luck.

I am not based at a university so starting one is tricky!

Thanks, Milo

Great, thanks Moonblue! Much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

Would anyone like to be super helpful and locate this paper for me please. I don't have access to this journal, which is a real shame as its got loads of great stuff. I plan to speak to the library today! anyway, here is the reference if you can help then it would be smashing!

DeOreo, WB (1996). "Flow trace analysis to assess water use". Journal - American Water Works Association (0003-150X), 88 (1), p. 79.

If you can, PM me and i'll send my email address.

Cheers,

This is very timely as I have been considering buying an ipad. Would anyone like to sell me the benefits of this shiny toy. I need to justify it to my wife as to why I MUST have this cool looking toy and how it will transform me into an amazing researcher-assume there is an app for that?

I guess I should also hear the negatives as well...

Take care all,

Ok, so rather than choose one or another is there any possibility of combining your psychology work with the fitness industry. As sports become more and more scientific the psychology angle must become more relevant. I am guessing that have not researched sports psychology but what if you continue with the PhD, get that done and then move into the Fitness work.

Given you are only 28, you have plenty of time to do everything you want. Having a PhD is much more likely to allow you to work in the interesting bits of sports. There are lot's of personal trainers with easy to get qualifications, but perhaps there are less with more advanced qualifications.

Take time off, try to look at the big picture. Let's face, you'l probably be working for another 30-40 years so a year or 3 here and there probably does not make to much difference.

What ever you decide will the right choice, what's the worst that can happen?

Thanks Lee.

If you are on twitter, there is a phd chat organised by @NSRiazat/phdchat every Week. It is a really interesting twitter conservation and covers a broad range of PhD topics. Worth checking out!

Not quite what I am trying to though!

Hello,

I'm looking to start-up a PhD/EngD writing group in Hertforshire, UK. If you are interested send me a PM. The objective is to meet-up on a regular basis to encourage, support and get some writing done!

If anyone else has tried to set this type of group up, words of wisdom are most welcome.

Thanks,

Milo

Hi Pam,

Hi all,

I need/have to write an assignment on Law (as part of my EngD course requirements) , and this is far outside my engineering background. Does anybody have some good sources of 'how to write an MSc law assignment' which talks about referencing, structure and type of language to use. I know it's a basic question but a recommended 'how to' guide is what I need to start this work!

Any help is much appreciated,

Milo

Dear Great people of the postgradforum (creep, creep..)

Would anybody be so kind as to locate and send me the following article, it would seem the limited UK subscription service does not extend this far:(.

Thankyou in hope,
