2 INTRODUCTION This Guide is intended as a supplement to the University Regulations for Higher Degrees. Candidates should also consult their departments for specific Faculty requirements. Candidates are advised to acquaint themselves with the recommendations of this Guide in the early stages of preparation, even though some of the recommendations apply only to the final stages. The Guide is also provided for the information of supervisors whose responsibilities include ensuring that candidates follow its recommendations. A thesis which does not follow the approved format will not be accepted and the degree will not be conferred until an acceptable standard has been met. THESIS PREPARATION The thesis must be written in English, but the Board for Graduate Studies and Research may, in special circumstances, on application from candidates in the Departments of Foreign Languages, and Literature, and on the favourable recommendation of the Faculty Sub-Committee, give permission for theses to be written in a language other than English. The greater portion of the work submitted for examination must have been done subsequent to the initial registration of the student as a candidate for the degree. The thesis must form a distinct contribution to the knowledge of the subject and afford evidence of originality shown either by the discovery of new facts or by the exercise of independent critical power. It must be of satisfactory literary standard and must be suitable for publication as a thesis of the University of the West Indies. The thesis must consist of the candidates account of his/her own research. It may describe work done in conjunction with his/her Supervisor provided that the candidate clearly states his/her personal share in the investigation and that his/her statement is certified by the Supervisor. A paper written or published in the joint names of two or more persons, one of whom is the candidate, may be included as a part of a thesis provided that the role that the candidate played in the work described in the paper, and the contribution of the other authors are clearly explained. No thesis shall consist wholly of previously published work. The candidate may indicate in a preface how far the thesis embodies the result of his/her own research or observation, and in what respect his/her investigations appear to him/her to advance the study of his/her subject.

3 A candidate will not be permitted to submit a thesis consisting wholly of work for which a degree has been conferred on him/her in this or any other University; but a candidate shall not be precluded from incorporating work which he/she has already submitted for a degree in this or any other University in a thesis covering a wider field, provided that he/she shall indicate in the preface to his/her thesis any work done which has been so incorporated. A thesis must be submitted in a form that can be reproduced in a clear and usable format, and since a thesis will be stored for many years, it must also be in a form that is durable. Durability depends on the choice of binding and the quality of paper used. Close attention should be paid by the student to the following criteria: a) b) c) the text and all illustrative material should be clear and error free; paper of good quality should be used; margins on each page should be as specified in the General Regulations for Graduate Diplomas and Degrees, and in this Guide.

The professional staff of the Campus Libraries is available for advice, before submission on the technical requirements of the thesis, for example, layout, bibliography, footnotes etc. COLLATION It is the candidates responsibility to prepare and assemble all materials for the thesis, and to have the pages of the thesis in correct order. PAPER The thesis must be produced on one side only of good quality white bond paper (usually of 20-lb weight) of standard letter size (8 x 11) or international A4 size (210mm x 297 mm). The same grade of paper must be used throughout the thesis. PRODUCTION OF MANUSCRIPT Theses must be produced on an electronic typewriter or, if computer produced, printed on a high quality printer. (a) Spacing

Double line spacing must be used. Single spacing is permitted within long quotations, footnotes, bibliographic items, appendix items and sub-sections of the Table of Contents. However, between each entry double spacing should be used.

4 (b) Margins

The top, bottom and right margins should be not less that 1 or 2.5 cm in width, and the left-hand margin should be 2 or 5cm in width to allow for loss in binding. (c) Typeface

The type should be 10 or 12 pitch/point, and the same typeface must be used throughout the text. Equations and formulae must be typed. Hand insertions in permanent black ink are acceptable only where the instrument cannot make the symbol. A sample page can be submitted to the Library for approval if desired. QUOTATIONS Quotations of more than two lines should be set off from the text in single spacing and indented at least four spaces from the left hand margin. FOOTNOTES/ENDNOTES Footnotes should be single spaced and placed at the bottom of the appropriate page. If the references are treated as endnotes, they are to be placed in sequence (by chapter) immediately preceding the bibliography. Form and style will differ from discipline to discipline, but the form and style selected must be maintained throughout the thesis. The recommended Style Manual appropriate to the discipline advises on the preparation and arrangement of footnotes and endnotes. Footnotes and Endnotes are acceptable. See Appendix X for recommended Style Manuals. TABLES, FIGURES A table or figure should appear in the text closely following the point where it is first discussed, usually no further than the page following. Tables and figures should be listed by number, title and page number in the thesis, and the titles of tables and figures should correspond exactly to the titles which appear in the text. These lists should be placed after the Table of Contents. Arabic numbers should be used in two separate sequences for the identification of the Tables and Figures.

5 CORRECTION OF ERRORS The thesis must be free of typographical errors. Corrections made in ink or with opaquing fluid are not acceptable. If a neat erasure cannot be made, the page must be re-typed. Deletions must not be made by crossing out or striking out letters or words. The typed line must be continuous. If the word or words cannot be erased clearly and neatly with proper spacing, the whole line, the paragraph, or the whole page must be re-typed. Additions of words or phrases must not be typed between lines or inserted by hand. The whole page must be re-typed to incorporate the additions. Pages which are obviously insert pages are not acceptable. The surrounding pages should be re-typed to incorporate the material. PAGINATION The title page is not numbered or paged in. The pages before the start of the text must be numbered in lower case Roman numerals. The pages of the text must be numbered in a new sequence of Arabic numerals consecutively throughout the thesis. All page numbers, Roman or Arabic, must be in an exact consistent location, preferably at the top right hand corner of the page, approximately three quarters of an inch down and three quarters of an inch inwards at the top right-hand corner. Each chapter should begin on a new page. Appendices should continue the sequence of Arabic numerals. If appendices are pages from other documents, this must be so indicated, by means of a footnote on the first page of the relevant appendix, where a full bibliographic description of the original sources should be given. The numbering sequence should include all matters which will be part of the bound volume, for example, maps, plans and diagrams, with the exception of structural diagrams in Chemistry theses, should appear on numbered facing pages. A separate sequence of numbering in lower case Roman numerals should be given to material such as plates, maps, diagrams and tables which are loose and which will be placed in end pockets of bound volumes, or will be bound separately from the typescript. All loose material should bear the candidates surname, initials, degree and date of submission.

6 When a thesis consists of two volumes, one continuous numbering sequence should be used for both volumes, i.e. the numbering of the second volume should continue from the numbering of the first volume. ARRANGEMENT The following sequence for the arrangement of the thesis should be followed: Title Page Declaration Form for the Reproduction of Theses Abstract Acknowledgements (if any) Dedication (if any) Table of Contents (including Appendices) Table of Cases (if any) Table of Statutes (if any) Table of Constitutional Instruments (if any) Glossary (if any) List of Figures, Tables, Illustrations, Charts, etc. Preface (if any) Text of Thesis References (including endnotes as necessary) and/or Bibliography Appendices (if any) TITLE PAGE The title page shall bear the officially approved title of the work, the name of the University, the degree for which the thesis is submitted, the full name of the candidate as officially registered and the year when the work was submitted for examination. The standard format is given in Appendices I and II. ABSTRACT Each copy of the thesis shall contain an abstract of not more than 300 words, the first page of which shall be numbered i, (i.e. the lower case Roman numeral). It must include the title ABSTRACT, the thesis title, the authors name and a summary of the content and conclusions of the thesis. The format is illustrated in Appendix III. The abstract should identify briefly the purpose of the research, the methods used, the results obtained and the significance of the results or findings. Candidates are asked to indicate keywords which best reflect the subject of the thesis to facilitate retrieval of information. These keywords should be placed at the end of the Abstract under the heading keywords.

7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (Optional) The inclusion of this single page is left to the discretion of the author. The acknowledgements page is a record of the authors indebtedness and should include acknowledgements of permission to use copyrighted material which appears extensively in the thesis. DEDICATION Dedication is permissible. TABLE OF CONTENTS The Table of Contents should include the Abstract, Acknowledgements, Dedication, Lists of Figures, Tables, etc. which have been placed before the text. The beginning page number of each of these sections as well as that of the chapters, the significant sections, bibliography and other end matter, should be given. BIBLIOGRAPHY 1. 2. A fundamental rule of good scholarship is that basic research be reliable and correct and all sources be acknowledged. All references whether they be footnotes, endnotes, or bibliographies must conform to certain stylistic requirements. Although the sciences and humanities differ in matters of form, the fundamental principles that govern referencing procedures are the same. Titles or journals when abbreviated in the Reference/Bibliography, should be done in an accepted and consistent style. A recommended style manual appropriate to the discipline should be used for the organization of all references. A list of Style Manuals recommended by each Faculty/Department is given in Appendix X.

3. 4.

APPENDICES The purpose of an appendix is to contain research material which is pertinent to the thesis but which is not essential to an understanding of the work done by the candidate. The appendices should be numbered and should form part of the sequence of pages bearing Arabic numerals. Each appendix must have a title descriptive of its contents, and a list of Appendices must be included in the Table of Contents. (See Arrangement).

8 ILLUSTRATIVE MATERIAL Photographs or any other illustrative material incorporated into the thesis either should be printed on a single weight photographic paper or be dry-mounted and accurately fixed on thesis paper using a pressure applied adhesive (such as mounted squares). They should not be mounted with staples, cellophane tape, rubber cement, glue, or photo covers as deterioration of the paper may result. OVERSIZE MATERIAL Oversize material such as graphics, maps, charts, etc. necessary to the exposition of the thesis can often be reduced in size photographically (photo-reduction) to fit the standard thesis page, or appear as a foldout. A foldout is a page whose left side is bound into the thesis but whose right side can be unfolded in one or more panels, extending, when read, beyond the right side of other thesis pages. The foldout should be carefully folded so that no folds fall outside the thesis margins. The page numbers should be placed to align with the number of other pages of the thesis. Alternatively, such materials should accompany the bound copy of the thesis in a pocket affixed to the inside back cover of the thesis and paged as advised under Pagination. LENGTH OF THESIS A thesis submitted for examination shall be the length approved by the Board for Graduate Studies and Research for the Faculty in which the candidate is registered. The candidate must indicate on a loose leaf inserted in the folder the approximate number of words contained in the thesis. A candidate wishing to exceed the prescribed limit must apply for permission to the Board for Graduate Studies and Research through his Supervisor. The approved maximum lengths of theses are as follows: FACULTY OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY FACULTY OF PURE & APPLIED SCIENCES FACULTY OF AGRICULTURE & NATURAL SCIENCES Agriculture M.Sc. M.Phil.

10 FORMS AND PROCEDURES SUBMISSION OF THESIS At least three (3) months before the thesis is ready for submission for examination, the candidate is required to formally apply for entry to the Examinations on a specified form and pay the required examination fee. The application must be accompanied by a certificate of completion of study from the Supervisor. (A sample of each of these forms is given in Appendix IV. The arrangement of format may vary according to the Campus). The formal submission of the thesis for examination is made by the candidate to the Administrative Assistant in the Graduate Admissions Section of the Registrars Office. Five copies of the thesis should be submitted. The submitted thesis must be accompanied by the Certificate from the candidates Supervisor that the thesis is presented in a technically acceptable form. Appendix V refers. If in the opinion of the Supervisor, the thesis is not ready for submission, he/she shall advise the Registrar in writing that the thesis has been submitted against his/her advice and that he/she has advised the candidate accordingly. The student, the Supervisor, Department and Faculty have a shared responsibility to ensure the quality of the thesis. Since theses are contributions to knowledge and are open to public scrutiny, sound academic standards must be adhered to in their preparation and presentation, It is preferable that the thesis submitted for examination is in soft cover, but the thesis can also be submitted in one or more binders. The sequence of events following the thesis submission is given in Appendix VI. LIBRARY SCRUTINY The Libraries scrutiny of theses is intended to ensure that students comply with the requirements of the Thesis Guide in relation to format, arrangement, abstract, references and bibliography. The Libraries seek to ensure an awareness of the discipline involved in preparing scholarly publications in a consistent style. The Libraries certify the thesis as acceptable when they are satisfied that the thesis complies with the requirements of the Thesis Guide and recommended style manuals. This process should be completed with in 30 days. A form to this effect is sent to the Registrars Office. Appendix IX refers.

11 EXAMINATION The University Regulations governing the appointment of Examiners and the examination of the thesis are given in the Regulations for Graduate Diplomas and Degrees. Nomination of the candidates Examiners to the Board for Graduate Studies and Research is the responsibility of the Department to which the candidate belongs. The Department should ensure that the Examiners nominated (especially the External Examiner) are willing to examine the thesis before submitting names for appointment. The Thesis Examining Committee consists of a minimum of three Examiners normally two Internal Examiners (of whom one is the candidates Supervisor) and one External Examiner. It is possible under certain circumstances to have one Internal and two External Examiners. Each examiner must submit to the Registrar a confidential written appraisal of the thesis. The deadline for these reports is three months after the receipt of the thesis. For Masters degrees, Faculty Regulations specify whether an oral examination is compulsory for the relevant degree programme, but in all cases the examiners can request an oral examination. The oral examination is compulsory for the Ph.D. degree. The Registrars office will arrange a date for the final oral examination in consultation with the examiners and the notice of the oral examination will appear on Campus Notice boards normally at least two weeks before the date of the examination. Normally the oral examination is held within four (4) months from the date of submission of the thesis. Four decisions are open to the Examiners the thesis can be accepted as submitted, accepted with minor corrections, accepted with major modifications, or rejected. In the case of a Ph. D. thesis, the thesis can be recommended for a lower degree. Minor corrections are normally typographical errors and small corrections to the tables, references, etc., or the addition and/or alterations of a few sentences or paragraphs. Such minor corrections normally are subject only to the approval of the thesis Supervisor before the thesis is recommended for the award of the Degree and is accepted for binding. Where, in the judgement of the Examiners, changes of a substantive nature are required which will require re-writing of parts of the thesis, the Examiners will recommend that a candidate do these major modifications and then re-submit the thesis for examination. A statement of the modifications required by the Examiners is conveyed to the candidate by the Registrar. The Dean of the School for Graduate Studies and Research may recommend that a thesis resubmitted for examination, be referred back to the External Examiner. The thesis is rejected when in the judgement of the examiners the thesis is unacceptable on substantive grounds.

12 PUBLICATION OF THESIS RESTRICTION It is the intention of the University that there should be no restriction on the availability of a thesis to those who may wish to consult it. However, in exceptional cases, the author of the thesis, in consultation with the thesis supervisor and with the approval of the Senate shall have the sole right to determine distribution of copies of his work for three years from the date of acceptance of the thesis. The author may also ask the Senate to withhold the thesis and its abstract from access while a patent is sought, or for other good cause. MICROFILMING When submitting the thesis for Library scrutiny the student should include a completed copy of the Declaration Form permitting the University to make a microfilm copy of the thesis. Microfilming ensures long-term preservation of the thesis since the printed copy will deteriorate with time and use. The declaration includes also the provision that the candidate may exercise the right to prohibit the distribution of the microfilm for three (3) years after the date of depositing the thesis. All bound copies finally submitted to the University should include signed copies of the Form, which is available from the Office of the Assistant Registrar, Graduate Studies. A sample of the Declaration Form is given in Appendix VIII. BINDING OF THESIS When the recommendation for the award of the degree has been made to the Board for Graduate Studies and Research, the candidate is required to submit to the Registrars Office, for deposit in the University Libraries, three unbound copies of the thesis presented in a form acceptable in all particulars and which conform to the Regulations. A copy of the candidates signed Declaration Form is to be included in each thesis. A thesis submitted for deposit in the University Libraries will be bound. The binding of the thesis should be in good quality black art vellum or cloth, with overcast edges cut. The thesis title, authors full name and the year of conferral of the degree should be lettered boldly in gold on the front cover in letters (6 mm) high. Appendix VII(i) refers. The authors name, degree and the year of conferral of the degree should appear on the spine, lettered downwards, using the same font. Appendix VII(ii).

13 It is the responsibility of the candidate to see that the thesis is bound in accordance with the University regulations. The University reserves the right to reject any manuscript that does not comply with the Universitys regulations, that is not neat and legible, or that is not suitably bound.

NOTE: This Thesis Guide, with due alteration to details [to be approved by the Campus Committee for Graduate Studies and Research] shall apply to Research Papers and Research Projects.

ABSTRACT

An Elementary Integral Equation Method Applied To Boundary Value Problems in Geomechanics

Mohammad Osama Al-Hunaidi

Contact stress and soil-structure interaction problems are important in two respects, first: evaluating the deflection, flextural moments and shearing forces structural in the unit, and secondly, establishing the stress and displacement fields in the supporting soil medium. In this thesis, a numerical method of solution is presented for the prediction of contact stresses, as well as the displacement of simple rigid structural units embedded in elastic, isotropic and semi-infinite soil medium. The analysis is based on a displacement integral equation. The integral equation describes the displacement field in the half-space (due to a traction fraction at some boundary within the half-space) using Melans fundamental solution and the principle of superposition. Keywords: Mohammad Osama Al-Hunaidi; Contact stress and soil-structure interaction; Melans fundamental solution.

ABSTRACT

History, Ethics and Emergent Probability: Bernard Lonergans Emergent Probability and its Import For His Philosophy of History and His Ethical Foundations

Kenneth Richard Melchin

This dissertation examines Bernard Lonergans structured world view, emergent probability, as the appropriate context for understanding his ethical foundations in Insight, chapters six and eighteen, and in Method in Theology, Chapter two, and for understanding these foundations within his account of the dynamic structure of history as developed in Insight, chapters seven and twenty. The contention throughout is that a precise grasp of the concepts underlying Lonergans terms: direct and inverse insights, systematic and non-systematic relations, probability, statistical and classical laws, recurrent schemes. emergence, higher viewpoints and finality are all essential to understanding his work in ethics and history and to understanding the role of religion in these fields.

Keywords: Kenneth Richard Melchin; Bernard Lonergan; ethics and history.
