Top 10 Fastest and most Powerful Motorcycles in the World


Ten fastest and most powerful motorcycles in the world. Average cruising speed of jet aircraft is about 950 kilometers per hour, which is only a thirty percent larger than reported in the data sheet of the most powerful motorcycle in Tomahawk. Just the thing, planes fly, and the bikes - no. Producers are after record-breaking results, because there are people who want all the same-thing. For the extreme limits of permitted lie on the edge of the possible, otherwise how to explain the dispersal of two-wheeled iron horse to a point five hundred miles an hour.

The Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics (CIM) at Uppsala University conducts innovative interdisciplinary research between the mathematical sciences and other areas of science and industry. CIM offers training and expertise in mathematical modelling and computer simulation, seehttp://www2.math.uu.se/cim/index.html. We are now looking for four PhD students to work within the centre and to form the second intake to a graduate school in Interdisciplinary Mathematics.

Duties: The PhD students will work with an interdisciplinary research project, supervised by at least two PhD advisors working in different research disciplines. Ideally, at least one of these disciplines should be in the mathematical sciences, which here includes mathematical statistics, computational science and control systems. The second research discipline should have a connection to complex and dynamical systems, such as those found in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, finance etc.
PhD students will be expected to engage actively in the activities of the centre and the graduate school, i.e. seminars, scientific consultation and so on. They will be required to take at least 30hp (6 months full time study) PhD level mathematics and modelling courses offered by the mathematics and scientific computing departments.
Eligibility: The candidates are expected to have an interest in applied mathematics and/or using models in an interdisciplinary context. A PhD student position requires a Master of Science in a field that is relevant for conducting research in applied mathematics, e.g. mathematics, engineering physics or scientific computing. Candidates with a background in another area of science, e.g. chemistry or biology, with a strong competence and interest in mathematical modeling are also encouraged to apply.
Acceptance as a PhD student within the Centre for Interdisciplinary Mathematics will be subject to the condition of acceptance by an appropriate Uppsala University department into a PhD research programme. The candidates should be able to start during the spring semester of 2012 or the summer 2012.
