UNIT 14 ABSTRACT OF THESIS
ABSTRACT OF THESIS
Task 1 Analyze the process of writing abstract of thesis example and try to write the
draft of abstract of thesis for your research paper.
Abstract of Thesis Example
Before writing the research paper, it’s very important to make prewriting, the draft,
and then revising, editing and publishing the abstract of thesis. It requires careful cogitation
of the paper’s actuality, its purposes, tasks, hypothesis, theoretical and methodological
base, innovations, and ways of analysis, evaluation and implementation.
My research topic is “Computer Development on the Base of Nanotechnologies:
Transistor, Consisting of a Molecule”.
Actuality
Nanotechnologies’ development, creating new materials and devices and their
application in engineering, science, medicine, electronics, and energy production is the
problem belonging to hi-tech technologies. Nanotechnology, dealing with molecular
manufacturing, requires a combination of chemical and mechanical principles in unfamiliar
applications. Transistor miniaturization is one of the trends of the scientific research. A
transistor consisting of a molecule has recently been created in China.
Purposes
1 Research of two complementary approaches to fabrication of NEMS systems
2 Studying of top-down framework integration
Tasks:
1 Transistor consisting of a molecule: modern applications and future development
2 Transistors consisting of a molecule: prospects of batch production
Hypothesis:
Development miniaturization of electronics will be successful on the conditions of
transistors application consisting of a molecule on the base of top-down framework
integration.
Theoretical and Methodological Base
Top-down design by Harlan Mills – structured programming, Niklaus Wirth – Pascal
programming language. Foresight Institute: application of top-down and bottom-up terms
in order to distinguish between molecular and conventional manufacturing. Hans Dubois:
contemporary problems.
Top-down and bottom-up approaches in software development process: structured
programming, software engineering, and object-oriented parsing. Top-down and bottom-up
approaches in nanotechnologies: molecular components, nanoscale devices development;
top-down framework integration.
Innovation
1 Complementary approaches to fabrication of NEMS systems: theoretical research
and practical application.
2 Top-down framework integration.
3 Transistors consisting of a molecule: their application.
Evaluation and Implementation
Methods of statistic research, validity of experiments. Transistors consisting of a
molecule: implementation and manufacturing.
Task 2 Complete the dialogue (two friends).
Abstract of Thesis Writing
− Before writing the PhD paper think over the abstract of thesis.
− What are the stages of writing the abstract of thesis?
− They are as usual prewriting, drafting, revising, editing and publishing.
− What are the constituents of the abstract of thesis?
− They are the paper’s actuality, its purposes, tasks, hypothesis, theoretical and
methodological base, innovations, and the ways of the analysis, evaluation and
implementation.
− I myself ….
