[edit] My honours thesis

This message is not being automatically archived

Well the title was "Permutation Codes, Frequency Permutation Arrays and Constant Composition Codes for Powerline Communications". Call it high level would be wrong I think, since it was only an undergrad thesis. As per honours thesis instructions at my university, it's geared toward 4th year mathematics students who haven't taken any courses in coding theory, and so there's a good introduction to the topic. I graduated June this year. Currently looking for work. Here's a pdf of the thesis http://rapidshare.com/files/59765051/honoursproject1.pdf.html . Hopefully it will be useful. (Bengl 14:53, 2 October 2007 (UTC))

If you do a section on constant weight codes, then pretty much all of it can be used. Other than that, I think the intro is quite useful as a general introduction. The section on application to powerlines would be more applicable to one of your other books. So if you think something should go somewhere, let me know and I'll go ahead and insert it, so that my name shows up in the edit history ;). (Bengl 15:21, 2 October 2007 (UTC))

Cool, I'll probably get to that some time tomorrow. Also, I had a similar paper on Reed-Solomon codes, but i can't find it. (Bengl 15:32, 2 October 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Watching books

This message will be archived normally

Is there a way to automatically watch all chapters in a book? I just started a new one (Training the Search and Rescue Dog) and want to watch as it expands.

Sorry to bug again, but you mentioned having links in the TOC to all pages in the book. So far, I've only been able to have the TOC link to the subheadings on the first page. I created some chapters, but these aren't listed in the TOC, which seems kinda backwards to me. Is there some documentation somewhere about getting chapters to show in the TOC?

[edit] Gre preparation merge

Hello Whiteknight, Sorry for the late response. Even I had been thinking about the Merge with the GRE book. But the thought we had was, we are going to cover information much more than just GRE, like TOEFL, application process, university selection process. Is it okay that we change the name of the book to something suitable at an later date?

[edit] RE: Glossary of terms

Hello,

I am a 78 yearold former programmer/analyst and I find I have been passed by in the field of computers. When I pick up a book to read or for instruction in the new systems I am constantly trying to figure out what is meant by some of the abbreviations and acronyms they use. It gets very confusing. Where can I get a book or list of these things as an aid to understanding what is written.

Thank you,

Ed Burdick

[edit] Thanks! (and a couple questions)

Thanks for the info about printable books and locking pages from edits. You are a lifesaver, and I really appreciate all your patience as we all try to ride the learning curve.

Last year, I thought about trying to be an admin, but I stopped short because I wondered how it would look for me to volunteer for a site I researched so much. Do you have any thoughts on that?

Finally, I was wondering if you'd be willing to post some more rating buttons in our third edition's [[Foundations of Education and Instructional Assessment/Edition 3/Assessment Table of Contents |Instructional Assessment section]]. We have posted the first one on A1.1.1, and this rating button is number 271. As a reminder, the complete rating button looks like this:

[edit] Deleting an inactive user (usurping)

Hi,
I am contributing mainly to the Hebrew Wikipedia and I merged my username on most wiki projects to User:Daniel1. I noticed that this user is taken on this project. However, it has almost made no contributions and the ones that have been made are very old. Would it be possible to delete / move this username so I can use my merged name on this project too?
Thanks,
Daniel.

[edit] Concurrent Engineering

Hello, White Knight

I appreciate your comment that "Concurrent Engineering" is coming along nicely.

I am a retired engineer back to college as an instructor, teaching from my background in product development.

This is my first experience with 21st century wiki collaboration, and I have yet to learn all the navigation tools that come with. Some of my students are keen and helpful, but not all. The justifiable mantra of "Do your own work, and earn your own grade!" is hard to throw off in the name of cooperation.

Further advice from you will be appreciated

Peter Burke

Sure, who knows what collaboration will arise?

Concurrent Engineering wikibook will be undergoing many deliberate changes over the next three weeks.

What is the approval process?

What does Xania have to do with it?

[edit] signpost story

Hi Andrew! I saw your post about going to Norfolk to meet with these people. Would you be able to write up a Signpost story about the grant? I'd love to promote it, and you're the most knowledgeable. It could be a whole story or a short piece to go into news & notes. Best, -- phoebe

[edit] change of author name and email

Hello, whiteknight

Sorry to ask you this question, but wikibooks doesn't make it obvious how to contact administrators.

I used to be burkep -still am, but I lost my password and my old email address which you have on record, so you can't email me a new password

I have created another account, calling myself petermcq with an email address peterburke@rocketmail.com

Over the next three months, I plan to edit Concurrent Engineering, so I need to be recognized as an editor

two possible solutions are

send burkep password to peterburke@rocketmail.com (a stable mailbox)

or promote petermcq to editor

Thanks a lot

Peter Burke

[edit] User:Whiteknight/Count Ticker/About

User:Whiteknight/Count Ticker/About

Hi, I am interested in using some ticker like function to count hits on some specific recipe pages (Cookbook:Native_American_cuisine and related recipe pages) in the cookbook. I found your count ticker page but do not really understand it. Would this work to count hits on a page... it says only for books? Is there any other tool or something that may be able to serve this purpose? Thanks --Paul James (talk) 18:42, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Nature

I've been looking to into the non-NPOV tags and noticed that this book was tagged by you but couldn't find a comment to what was objected to (I find some minor inaccuracies). I would overall agree that the book is not very supportive of the field of science, but having looked at some of the pages it seems highly bases on philosophical analysis and is still in a very embrionary stage, it claims also to be a translation (even if it now doesn't look anything like the book it points to). Can you please extend the tag into a comment or maybe change it to a problem on accuracy... --Panic (talk) 07:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
