kawan-kawn, saya saat ini sedang mengirim aplikasi saya ke chevening, dengan alamat email: chevening@britishcouncil.or.id , tpi email yang saya kirim selalu failured. padhal ini hari terakhir penerimaaan berkas aplikasi.saya sudah cek alamat emailnya dan benar. lagi british council libur hari sabtu ini, jadi tidak bisa konfirm langsung k mereka. apa yang harus saya lakukan?
trims,
/////////////// MODERATOR’S NOTE /////////////// Kalo boleh tau, apa isi pesan failure message yang diberikan oleh mail servernya?
Sending failure bisa terjadi karena beberapa sebab a.l. salah pengetikan alamat, mailbox tujuan yang sudah penuh, atau memang server mail tujuannya sedang down, dsb.
Saya juga coba mengirimkan email ke alamat tersebut, dan tampaknya no problem. Jika memang sebelumnya ada problem, barangkali sifatnya temporer dan sekarang sudah clear. Barangkali bisa dicoba kembali pengiriman emailnya.
Alternatifnya, jika lewat email masih gagal terus, barangkali dengan mengirimkan berkas2 aplikasi lewat pos (misalnya lewat kantor pos besar yang buka 24 jam kalau ada) karena menurut http://www.chevening.or.id/application.html berkas pengiriman lewat pos ini paling tidak memiliki ‘Postal Stamp dated 30 September 2006′.
Good luck,

PhD Student “Tracers take the tube” Technische Universiteit Eindhoven Department of Applied Physics Eindhoven, (Noord-Brabant), 40 hours per week Technische Universiteit Eindhoven
Job description —————————— The PhD project concerns an experimental study, with substantial theoretical and numerical aspects, focused on the understanding of particle advection in 3D time-periodic viscous flows. For this purpose a high-resolution 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry method (3D-PTV), employing a four-camera set-up and dedicated software (developed at ETH, Zurich), will be adapted and used for highly-accurate measurement of particle paths, particle displacements and velocity field. These experimental data will enable computation of the 3D flow map and the associated deformation tensor. This flow map and deformation tensor, in turn, will enable identification of the coherent structures (including the small-scale tubes mentioned above) that make up the topology and determine the particle advection. Furthermore, the 3D flow map will admit long-term particle tracking by which the quantitative effect of Resonance-Induced Merger upon the particle advection can be determined. The experimental study thus will include laboratory experiments and sophisticated numerical data-processing.
Requirements —————————— Required education/skills:University Graduate We are looking for an enthusiastic physicist, mechanical engineer or applied mathematician with an affinity to fluid dynamics, flow-measurement techniques, and numerical simulations.

PhD position (trainee research assistant) Focused web search The Universiteit van Amsterdam Amsterdam, (The Netherlands), 38 hours per week The Universiteit van Amsterdam
Job description —————————— The ILLC seeks a versatile, highly motivated PhD candidate to work on focused web search. This fully funded position is part of the EfFoRT (Effective Focused Retrieval Techniques) project. EfFoRT is a joint research undertaking of the University of Amsterdam and the University of Twente, and is funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).
Tasks The EfFoRT project will develop an approach for combining multiple representations of web information in a common framework based on statistical language models. In this framework, it will be possible to, for example, derive models of the actual language use of web pages to distinguish between arts, business, entertainment, education, etc. Similarly, it will be possible to derive models of the structure of web pages to distinguish between blogs, FAQs, personal web pages, cultural heritage pages, etc. The techniques to be developed will have to be robust to all kinds of errors, ranging from imperfect information extraction techniques to imprecise queries formulated by the average web search engine user. An important aspect of any new technique in a web setting is that they have to scale up to terabyte-sized collections. EfFoRT will develop so-called parsimonious models to derive compact representation and to handle dependencies between representations of the data.
