What is “Three Minute Thesis”?

 

Three Minute Thesis (3MT®) is a research communication competition developed by The University of Queensland. The exercise challenges PhD students to present a compelling oration on their thesis topic and its significance in just three minutes. 3MT develops academic, presentation, and research communication skills and supports the development of research students’ capacity to effectively explain their research in language appropriate to a non-specialist audience.

History:

The first 3MT was held at The University of Queensland in 2008 with 160 RHD students competing. Enthusiasm for the 3MT concept grew and its widespread implementation by universities has led to the development of an international competition. The Strong support for 3MT exists in Australia and New Zealand with 44 institutions coming together to participate in the 2013 Trans-Tasman 3MT Competition. The event also hosted special guests from Fiji and Hong Kong. The inaugural International U21 competition was also launched in 2013. The global reach of the competition can be seen by the extent of participation with universities in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Vietnam also hosting local 3MT events.

Eligibility:

Active PhD candidates who have successfully passed their first stage evaluation and have not graduated are eligible to participate in 3MT competitions at all levels, including the Trans-Tasman 3MT competition.

Rules

1. Only one (1) static PowerPoint slide is permitted (no slide transitions, animations or ‘movement’ of any description, the slide is to be displayed from the beginning of the oration).
2. No additional electronic media (e. g sound and video files) is permitted.
3. No additional props (e. g costumes, musical instruments, laboratory equipment) are permitted.
4. A presentation is limited to three minutes (maximum) and /presentations exceeding three minutes are disqualified.
5. A presentation is to be spoken words (e .g no poems, raps, songs).
6. A presentation is to commence from the stage.
7. The three minutes started as student commences via movement or speech.
8. The decision of the adjudicating panel is final.

Saudara,

 

PEMBUKAAN MARKET UCTC@UTMKL 2016 BERKONSEPKAN KOMUNITI KAMPUS LESTARI

Terdahulu, Market UCTC ini telah dilancarkan oleh Ketua Setiausaha, Kementerian Pendidikan Tinggi Malaysia iaitu Datuk Seri Zaini Ujang di Putrajaya pada 25 April 2015 lalu. Tujuan pelancaran tersebut adalah untuk menghimpunkan pelbagai produk-produk universiti, komuniti dan barangan NBOS My Best Buy. Sehubungan itu, pembukaan Market UCTC@UTMKL berkonsepkan Komuniti Kampus Lestari akan mula dibuka setiap JUMAAT minggu pertama dan ketiga setiap bulan mulai 1 April 2016bermula jam 11.00 pagi hingga 4.00 petang bertempat di TAPAK PARKIR, ANJUNG MENARA RAZAK. Market UCTC ini merupakan pasar jualan produk hasil inisiatif komuniti dalaman dan luaran universiti kepada masyarakat. Uniknya, Market UCTC@UTMKL ini akan menyokong polisi pelestarian di dalam kampus yang tidak menggunakan bekas polisterin dan beg plastik. Pengunjung juga sangat digalakkan membawa beg sendiri seperti Kempen Tiada Beg Plastik yang dibuat oleh Aeon, Giant dan Tesco pada setiap hari Sabtu.

Penganjuran Market UCTC ini memberi peluang kepada mahasiswa dan staf UTM sendiri selain kepada usahawan-usahawan kecil di sekitar Kuala Lumpur menangani peningkatan kos hidup yang semakin tinggi.  Inisiatif ini juga dapat memenuhi hasrat universiti untuk memupuk semangat entrepreneurial dan memasyarakatkan universiti dengan membuka pintu kampus kepada komuniti sekitar khususnya untuk membeli-belah pada harga ladang / pengeluar – tanpa orang tengah. Hasrat ini sekaligus dapat memenuhi kriteria National Blue Ocean Strategy (NBOS) serta KPI universiti bagi memberikan sumbangan berimpak tinggi kepada masyarakat.

Pusat Jaringan Komuniti dan Industri (CCIN) dengan kerjasama Unit Pengurusan Makmal Universiti (UPMU), UTM yang bertindak sebagai Penyelaras Market UCTC@UTMKL menjangkakan lebih 60 orang usahawan akan turut serta dalam program ini. Para peniaga akan ditempatkan secara kluster di mana pembahagian kluster barangan kering dan basah akan diasingkan bagi mewujudkan keseragaman.

Di antara barangan yang akan dijual di Market UCTC@UTMKL termasuklah makanan, pakaian, kraftangan, bahan bercetak, perabot, sayur-sayuran, buah-buahan dan sebagainya.  Kerjasama ini juga akan melibatkan pihak FAMA dan RTC.  Selain itu, persatuan-persatuan NGO juga dijangka akan turut serta dalam Market UCTC@UTMKL yang merupakan kombinasi konsep Bazar, Pasar Tani, Flea Market, Car Boot Sale dan Uptown yang begitu popular di negara kita.

Para peniaga diberikan promosi istimewa sewa tapak untuk tiga bulan pertama  pada kadar yang murah iaitu RM 30.00 sebulan. Warga UTM dan orang ramai dijemput hadir beramai-ramai bagi memeriahkan Market UCTC@UTMKL pada setiap Jumaat minggu pertama dan ketiga nanti. 100 orang pengunjung bertuah juga akan mendapat hadiah misteri daripada pihak penganjur.

Bersama-sama ini dilampirkan borang penyertaan kepada mahasiswa, staf, persatuan / kelab dalaman yang berminat untuk menyertai Market UCTC@UTMKL ini. Tarikh tutup pendaftaran adalah 25 Mac 2016 dan borang boleh dihantar ke Pusat Jaringan Komuniti dan Industri (CCIN) di Aras G, Bangunan PSZ, UTMKL.

Move over Tesla: the fastest street-legal EV is now a Corvette Z06

This article is taken from here.

When you think of fast electric vehicles, the Tesla Model S and its “Ludicrous Mode” probably come to mind, and rightly so. With the equivalent of 762 horsepower in the Model S P90D and a 0 to 60 mph time of just 2.8 seconds, few supercars could even match the electric sedan’s performance.

But what about top speed? That’s been a tough nut to crack for electric vehicle manufacturers because while instant torque helps an EV rocket off the line, all that “electric juice” runs thin as the runway gets longer. That’s where Genovation Cars comes in.

The EV tuner took a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 and turned it into the “Genovation eXtreme Electric,” or GXE for short. While testing the reborn ‘vette at the Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds/Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida, Genovation brought the sports car to a top speed of 186.8 mph. While even the regular Corvette can manage that feat these days, in the world of street-legal EVs, that figure is massive. In fact, it was nearly 10 mph quicker than the previous record holder at 177 mph.

Watch the video on Genovation’s Facebook Page.

The new record was certified by the International Mile Racing Association and the vehicle has earned the official title of, “Top Speed Street Legal Electric Car.”

The GXE capitalized on the Corvette Z06’s light body as a platform to incorporate an innovative electric powertrain good for over 700 hp and 600 pound-feet of torque. Genovation claims the prototype has a 50:50 weight distribution and a range of 130 miles during “normal driving operation.” I’m guessing drag racing doesn’t fall under that category.

“We are thrilled that the result of our development testing led to the setting of this record. Based on our experience so far, we believe the car to be extremely robust as we set the record on our first day of testing,” said Genovation CEO Andrew Saul. The company added that its work on the GXE isn’t finished and it expects the EV to reach higher levels of performance very soon.
