Dear All,
The following copy paste of my email is regarding Ph.D. Scholarship on offer by RGU. If you have any queries contact the university directly on the email address contained there. I will be away for whole of next week and will be glad to answer any queries on my return (16th April 10).
Good luck.

PhD Studentships Available
by Miki Y Sun - Tuesday, 6 April 2010, 06:14 PM
PhD Studentships (Reference IDEAS)
Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
Closing Date: 23rd April 2010
Applications are invited from excellent candidates for PhD studentships in the IDEAS Research Institute at The Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. A list of suggested PhD projects can be found at http://www.comp.rgu.ac.uk/docs/info/research/ideas phd.htm We will also consider applications for other projects that are aligned with the research themes in IDEAS.
Candidates for the studentship must have a high quality Honours Degree (preferably a First Class) or a Masters qualification (or equivalent) in a relevant discipline. Each studentship provides full university fees for UK/EU applicants and a tax-free maintenance allowance of £13,290 per annum for 3 years. Additional fee support may be available to students who are not UK/EU residents and who would normally be required to pay the full overseas postgraduate fee. The studentship starts on 1 October 2010.
Applications should include a completed application form (available from http://www.rgu.ac.uk/researchdegrees/applicants/page.cfm?pge=26828), a detailed CV, two academic references, plus other required documents, and be emailed to researchdegrees@rgu.ac.uk or posted to the Research Degrees Office, the Robert Gordon University, Schoolhill, Aberdeen AB10 1FR, quoting reference IDEAS.

An Integrated Refurbishment model for Hospitals
The refurbishment market has been growing greatly in response to the huge existing building stock in the UK which will need to be dealt with robustly to meet the Government CO2 targets in the next decade. Given the current economic downturn and the pressure to reduce public funding, these objectives have to be met in a cost effective way. There is however, no standard approach to select and manage refurbishment options based on economic, environmental and social criteria throughout a building life cycle. These arguments are especially true in the complex environment of healthcare, in which the desire to reduce variation of design for economic reasons has to be balanced against the widely differing needed of several user groups. This PhD project aims to develop an integrated model for the selection and management of hospital refurbishment options.

Decommissioning Options Optimisation [DECOM-OPT2] Tool
This project offers the ability to assess the technical and financial impact of decommissioning of offshore infrastructures. Provided HLV technology, severing techniques, regulatory and stakeholders’ requirements, safety and environmental impacts, future liability, salvage value, etc are appropriately evaluated, it is possible to determine an optimal decommissioning option for offshore facilities. The major progress to be made in this project is the development of a smart decommissioning option optimisation (DECOM-OPT2) tool which given specific platform information, will automatically generate cost breakdown and determine the decommissioning estimates for the platform. The tool should be very versatile in assessing and comparing decommissioning options in order to determine the best available option based on the specific input variables. The research work will require collaboration with offshore platform operators for decommissioning data.

Improving the reliability & quality of power-supply for a power system with Fuel Cells integrated into it as renewable energy driven-distributed generators
Environmental pressures to reduce CO2 emission has led to exploitation of electricity generation from renewable energy sources (RES), such as wind, solar, tidal etc. It has been advocated that 46% of global electricity would be from RES by 2050. A possible solution for resolving the intermittent nature of wind power, as an RES, is by adopting fuel cells (FCs) based-plants as Distributed Generators (DGs). FC-based DGs can be used to store the excess electricity generated by wind when wind power production is high and then convert it back to electricity when wind production is low. DGs cause a number of problems to the grid including changes of power flow, power quality, voltage control, and protection coordination. The aim of this research is to improve the reliability and quality of power-supply and optimize the performance of electrical network to which FC-based DGs are embedded. This involves extensive analysis of the network in the presence of FC-based DGs.

A Numerical, Analytical and Experimental Study of Fracture-Matrix Flow Partitioning in Fracture Reservoir
In fractured reservoir, there is a high tendency for flowing fluid to partition into fracture and matrix flows depending on the hydraulic and lithological properties of the two sub systems. Flow partitioning in this type of reservoir is complex and its understanding is still limited. However the understanding of this phenomenon is very crucial for the design, optimisation and implementation of production related operations such as enhanced oil recovery, water injection and chemical placement in such reservoirs. One of the several factors responsible for the complexity inherent in flow partitioning and which make its understanding difficult is the effect of the in-situ stress regime. This work will seek to employ both numerical and analytical modelling techniques; and laboratory experimental methods to study the effects of stress regime and other factors such as flow regime and intrinsic fracture characteristics on the magnitude and pattern of flow partitioning in fractured reservoirs. The work will also seek to develop a stress-coupled model or simulator for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of flow partitioning in fractured reservoirs.
