2 PhD dissertations vis a vis Maung Zarni's PDF file

Your blogger is not well, he is sick, sick of everything!
But he has time to search and scrutinize two real PhD
dissertations from US, UK universities and an Adobe
Acrobat file which is claimed by Maung Zarni as his
PhD dissertation.

You can say this is the "Double Entrapment Stratagem",
it is to annihilate an enemy's forces they are lured into
the trap, or a variant of the "Successive Waves" attack.

Or just an experimental design to prove/disprove a theory.
First stage is to get samples for your clean references, to
prove that PhD thesis can be found on-line and how a real
PhD dissertation can be different from a questionable one.

(I.1) Very recent UK PhD from University College London

Dynamical systems in cosmology

Chan, N (2012) Dynamical systems in cosmology.

Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).

URL: http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1348375/

Get that pdf file. You don't understand one bit? That is fine,
average audience of PhD dissertation is 3 people, external
thesis advisors (in the case of British Systems), the thesis
committee (in the case of North American Universities, that
is US and Canada), and Promoting professors (in the case of
Germanic universities that include doctorates in Germany,
Austria, The Netherlands and the Scandinavian Universities).
Get that PDF in hand as it will be used for our 2 stage tactic.
Now the first part of stage 1 (I.1) completed and I.2 follows:


(I.2) Time to find 15 years old PhD thesis from UW-Madison

http://search.library.wisc.edu

Search for a PhD dissertation in the field of Education,
it is about Hmong studies-Hmong people belong to a race
in South East Asian who fought for United States in Laos
and Vietnam. The title is below:

"Teaching strategies, beliefs, and behaviors of the Hmong
and general education teachers in the technical college"

Use those keywords, after a while search result came back

http://search.library.wisc.edu/catalog/ocm41274414

You can see that there exists a real PhD dissertation at
the University of Wisconsin. Now we will try to find one
more which is our popular fellow Maung Zarni. So we go
back to the search page. http://search.library.wisc.edu

We already know the title of a (fake or unexistant) PhD
dissertation (or just a pdf file) that was never written.

"Knowledge Control and Power The Politics of Education
under Burma Military Dictatorship"

Use that as keyword to find the thesis hoping it exists.

19 results came back from UW Wisconsin-Madison library
and none of them has such a thesis which Mr. Zarni claims
to have written. Do not believe yet? Then copy and paste
the whole browser request below in the navigation bar of
your browser and hit ENTER. You will get 19 books as the
result. If you can find Maung Zarni's so called thesis,
let this blogger knows.


"http://search.library.wisc.edu/catalog?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=\
Knowledge%2C+Control+and+Power+The+Politics+of+Education\
+under+Burma+Military+Dictatorship&search_field=all_fields"

The first stage of proving or disproving is done. Is enough?

(II) If not, then we want you to go and get the PDF file which
someone hopes that Burmese will swallow it as a PhD thesis.
Go to wikipedia entry below:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Yangon

Go straight to the bottom, you will see a link leading to a
pdf file which Maung Zarni claims that his PhD dissertation.
Compare it with real PhD thesises from United States and UK.
Now you may be convinced. For us we are quite sure and that
was why we asserted!
