Academic Writing Strategy: Reverse Outlines
Read this interesting article on how to create a reverse outline – after you have already written the rough draft of your research article. A reverse outline will reveal the structure—and thus the structural problems—of a text.
Writing a reverse outline for the rough draft that you have already written for your research paper involves the following steps:
1. Number your paragraphs. (Paragraphs are the essential unit of analysis here; next week we will look at why paragraphs are so important.)
2. Identify the topic of each paragraph. At this point, you can also make note of the following:
a. Is there a recognizable topic sentence?
b. How long is the paragraph?
i. Does the topic seem sufficiently developed?
ii. Is there more than one topic in the paragraph?
3. Arrange these topics in an outline.
4. Analyze this outline, assessing the logic (where elements have been placed in relation to one another) and the proportion (how much space is being devoted to each element).
5. Use this analysis to create a revised outline.
6. Use this revised outline to reorganize your text.
7. Go back to your answers in 2a and 2b to help you create topic sentences and cohesion in your paragraphs. (explorationsofstyle)

Effective Networking Top Tips
This article describes how academic networking allows you to use various opportunities to mention (or ‘market’) your own unique qualifications, skills and experience as well as collect information, advice and referrals.
Academic networking can be summed up in the folllowing:
L – Learning about the people you meet
I – Investing time into that learning process
N – Nurturing the relationship
K – Keeping the relationship is dependent upon your investment in it. (postgraduatetoolbox)

工作目標 Based on the above, we should develop an adaptive clock recovery method to generate the clock signal in order to synchronize the clock, ensuring that the received data satisfies the criteria.
達成目標的方法 To do so, referred to herein as differential clock recovery, the proposed method can utilize common clock information on both ends. The transmitting side and receiving side can be synchronized with each other based on common clock information. GPS devices or some network time protocols can be used similarly to using the differential clock recovery method. Despite increasing the cost, this method has a certain limitation. No GPS signal is received when TDMoIP equipment is in a building. Another method, adaptive clock recovery, can be adopted to achieve clock recovery. Adopting this method does not require additional devices, e.g., a GPS receiver, to generate the synchronized clock.
希望的結果 As anticipated, the adaptive clock recovery method can enable re-use of existing TDM equipment in a building, subsequently reducing the cost of replacing the equipment by 10%.
領域的貢獻 Importantly, the proposed method can further enhance the ability of TDM void networks to fulfill service performance requirements.
