Obviously a ploy by females to make it seem they don't take over men's lives completely after state approved civil unions...

Out of my Tower from now till 9th July. On the family visits..

On vacations, will return at the end of the month.

Sadly wiki must remains locked in that time, until it will be moved. Now I runned out of time, not just virtually.

Wow. Been a while since I was last here. Getting a PhD sure takes time and energy...

Kalah · Unread postby **Kalah** » 16 Jul 2012, 19:34

It does indeed. That's why I couldn't be bothered.

Finished?

Gaidal Cain · Unread postby **Gaidal Cain** » 17 Jul 2012, 06:25

Yup. And the four years before have been good. I've friends who are working a lot more for theirs. It was just the last months that were tough.

The first guess was quite good. Nuclear engineering. Or more specifically: Neutronics in reactors with propagating perturbations.

I want a link to that paper when it's finished. 4 publications, yes?

Gaidal Cain · Unread postby **Gaidal Cain** » 23 Jul 2012, 07:59

Here you go. And there is six included publications.

Looks fairly impressive. I'll have a closer look later; I'm interested in the differences between MSRs and other systems.

Show off.

EDIT: Also, why does it say Doctor of Philosophy? Well at least now i know where the Ph. comes from...

Kalah · Unread postby **Kalah** » 26 Jul 2012, 20:46

Dr. philos (Ph.D) is one of the four doctorates in the classic university disciplines. The others are Dr. theol. (theology), Dr. juris (law) og Dr. med. (medicine). So even physics, chemistry and the like are fitted into the "philosophical" degree.

You do it that way in Sweden too, I presume, GC?

Not really. I'm actually a "Doctor of technology", but that title doesn't really exist in English, so it's translated to PhD.

Pol · Unread postby **Pol** » 30 Jul 2012, 22:13

I'm back. Turned the blueberries into the tasty jam and will try to address the wiki transfer in these hot and busy times.

So your people at least do use common sense...
