Abstract. The Marine Institute, Ireland, runs a suite of operational regional and coastal ocean models. Recent developments include several tailored products that focus on the key needs of the Irish aquaculture sector. In this article, an overview of the products and services derived from the models are presented. A shellfish model that includes growth and physiological interactions of mussels with the ecosystem and is fully embedded in the 3-D numerical modelling framework has been developed at the Marine Institute. This shellfish model has a microbial module designed to predict levels of coliform contamination in mussels. This model can also be used to estimate the carrying capacity of embayments, assess impacts of pollution on aquaculture grounds and help to classify shellfish waters. The physical coastal model of southwest Ireland provides a three day forecast of shelf water movement in the region. This is assimilated into a new harmful algal bloom alert system used to inform end-users of potential toxic shellfish events and high biomass blooms that include fish killing species. Further services include the use of models to identify potential sites for offshore aquaculture, to inform studies of potential cross-contamination in farms from the dispersal of planktonic sea lice larvae and other pathogens that can infect finfish and to provide modelled products that underpin the assessment and advisory services on the sustainable exploitation of the marine fisheries resources. This paper demonstrates that ocean models can provide an invaluable contribution to the sustainable blue growth of aquaculture and fisheries.

Abstract. The resonances of the English Channel and Irish Sea are investigated using the methods of Webb (2012) together with an Arakawa C-grid model of the region under study. In the semi-diurnal tidal band, the high tides of the Bristol Channel and Gulf of St. Malo are shown to be due to two shelf resonances which strongly couple the two regions. In the diurnal band, the response is complicated by the presence of continental shelf waves.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract. In recent years coastal oceanographers have suggested the use of the "Strouhal" number or it's inverse the "Stokes" number, which have been defined as the ratios of the frictional depth (δ) to the water column depth (h) or vice versa, to describe the effect of bottom boundary layer turbulence on the vertical structure of both density and currents. Although they have mention that the effects of rotation should be important, they have tended to omit it. This omission may be important when talking about tidal currents as the frictional depth from a fully cyclonic to a fully anticyclonic tidal ellipse can vary up to an order of magnitude in the mid latitudes; so that the stokes number might appear smaller (larger) than it is resulting in frictional effects being underestimated (overestimated). Here a way to calculate a Stokes number, in which the effect of the Earth's rotation is taken into account, is suggested. Then the standard Stokes and the rotational Stokes numbers are used as predictors for the position of the tidal mixing fronts in the Irish Sea. Results show that the rotational number improves prediction of the front in shallow cyclonic areas of the eastern Irish Sea. This suggest that the effect of rotation on the water column structure will be more important in shallow shelf seas and estuaries with strong rotational currents.

Abstract This paper examines change in the sociolinguistic landscape of Irish English based on a diachronic corpus of radio advertisements from 1997 and 2007, with a focus on the relatively new accent variety, Advanced Dublin English (AdvD) (Hickey 2013). The quantitative and qualitative analyses are based on Sussex’s (1989) “Action and Comment” framework (which differentiates the advertisement components based on discourse genre) and on Bell’s (1984) audience and referee design framework. AdvD is viewed in the 1997 subcorpus as outgroup referee design where it has an “initiative” role in constructing listener identity. In the 2007 subcorpus, the increased frequency of AdvD suggests that it is evolving to an audience designed style. Stylised representations of this accent can be understood as ingroup referee design, a strategy which facilitates the evolution of this form as audience design. These findings illustrate the initiative role of the media in constructing contemporary cultural identities (Piller 2001).

AbstractThe objective of the study was to isolate potentialBacillus cereussensu lato (B.cereus s.l.)from a range of farm environments. Samples of tap water, milking equipment rinse water, milk sediment filter, grass, soil and bulk tank milk were collected from 63 farms. In addition, milk liners were swabbed at the start and the end of milking, and swabs were taken from cows’ teats prior to milking. The samples were plated on mannitol egg yolk polymyxin agar (MYP) and presumptiveB. cereus s.l. colonies were isolated and stored in nutrient broth with 20% glycerol and frozen at -80 °C. These isolates were then plated on chromogenic medium (BACARA) and colonies identified as presumptiveB. cereus s.l. on this medium were subjected to 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) sequencing. Of the 507 isolates presumed to beB. cereus s.l. on the basis of growth on MYP, only 177 showed growth typical ofB. cereus s.l. on BACARA agar. The use of 16S rRNA sequencing to identify isolates that grew on BACARA confirmed that the majority of isolates belonged toB. cereus s.l. A total of 81 of the 98 isolates sequenced were tentatively identified as presumptiveB. cereus s.l. Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was carried out on milk and soil isolates from seven farms that were identified as having presumptiveB. cereus s.l. No pulsotype was shared by isolates from soil and milk on the same farm. PresumptiveB. cereus s.l. was widely distributed within the dairy farm environment.

Biometric gateways are used to quickly and accurately identify people. Of the biometric characteristics, iris, face and fingerprints are commonly used. By combining them, better identification results can be achieved. The aim of this thesis is to create such a biometric gateway together with the control application. A combination of iris of both eyes and face is used, which is captured by cameras from three angles to increase accuracy. Neural networks are used to detect and extract face features. Iris recognition is realized using Daugman's algorithm.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter turns to Irish fiction and the ambivalence of the term. ‘Irish fiction’ may be so called by virtue of various factors: an author's birth or place of domicile; the identification of an Irish edition only; or a specifically Irish theme or setting. But the difficulty of defining the ‘Irish novel’ is compounded by the way in which such apparent demarcations — of birth, domicile, setting — are themselves refused within fiction of this period, refused particularly as ‘demarcations’. For example, Jonathan Swift, whose Gulliver's Travels (1726) stands as one of the most famous Irish novels, is himself ambivalent about his Irish birth. Swift's ambivalence about his Irish birth is marked in the fictionalizing of his own life, in which he used the anecdote of his nurse's kidnap of him to Whitehaven, for example, to imply that he was born in England.

Full textAbstract:
This collection addresses how models from ancient Greece and Rome have permeated Irish political discourse in the century since 1916. The 1916 Easter Rising, when Irish nationalists rose up against British imperial forces, was almost instantly mythologized in Irish political memory as a turning point in the nation’s history and an event that paved the way for Irish independence. Its centenary has provided a natural point for reflection on Irish politics, and this volume highlights an unexplored element in Irish political discourse, namely its frequent reference to, reliance on, and tensions with classical Greek and Roman models. Topics covered include the reception and rejection of classical culture in Ireland; the politics of Irish language engagement with Greek and Roman models; the intersection of Irish literature with scholarship in Classics and Celtic Studies; the use of classical allusion to articulate political inequalities across hierarchies of gender, sexuality, and class; meditations on the Northern Irish conflict through classical literature; and the political implications of neoclassical material culture in Irish society. As the only country colonized by Britain with a pre-existing indigenous heritage of expertise in classical languages and literature, Ireland represents a unique case in the fields of classical reception and postcolonial studies. This book opens a window on a rich and varied dialogue between significant figures in Irish cultural history and the Greek and Roman sources that have inspired them, a dialogue that is firmly rooted in Ireland’s historical past and continues to be ever-evolving.

Full textAbstract:
As a social historian, James W. Sanders takes a new look at a critical period in the development of Boston schools. Focusing on the burgeoning Irish Catholic population and framing the discussion around Catholic hierarchy, Sanders considers the interplay of social forces in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that led to Irish Catholics’ emerging with political control of the city and its public schools. The latter reduced the need for parochial schools; by at least the 1920s, the public and parochial schools had taken giant steps toward one another in theory and practice under the leadership of the Catholics who presided over both systems. The public schools taught the same morality as the Catholic ones, and, in the generous use of Catholic saints and heroes as moral exemplars, they came dangerously close to breaching the wall of separation between religion and the public school. As a result, despite the large Irish Catholic population, Boston’s parochial school system looked very different from parochial schools in other American cities, and did not match them in size or influence. The book begins in 1822 when Boston officially became a city and ends with the Irish Catholic takeover of the Boston public school system before the Second World War.

Full textAbstract:
The Irish Buddhist tells the story of a poor Irishman who worked his way across America as a migrant worker, became one of the very first Western Buddhist monks, and traveled the length and breadth of Asia, from Burma and present-day Thailand to China and Japan, and from India and Sri Lanka to Singapore and Australia. Defying racial boundaries, he scandalized the colonial establishment of the 1900s. As a Buddhist monk, he energetically challenged the values and power of the British empire. U Dhammaloka was a radical celebrity who rallied Buddhists across Asia, set up schools, and argued down Christian missionaries—often using Western atheist arguments. He was tried for sedition, tracked by police and intelligence services, and “died” at least twice. His early years and final days are shrouded in mystery, despite his adept use of mass media. His story illuminates the forgotten margins and interstices of imperial power, the complexities of class, ethnicity, and religious belonging in colonial Asia, and the fluidity of identity in the high Victorian period. Too often, the story of the pan-Asian Buddhist revival movement and Buddhism’s remaking as a world religion has been told “from above,” highlighting scholarly writers, middle-class reformers, and ecclesiastical hierarchies. By contrast, Dhammaloka’s adventures “from below” highlight the changing and contested meanings of Buddhism in colonial Asia. They offer a window into the worlds of ethnic minorities and diasporas, transnational networks, poor whites, and social movements, all developing different visions of Buddhist and post-imperial modernities.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter maps the mid-century period of the Irish novel in terms of the various aesthetic choices which Irish writers took as they contended imaginatively with the contradictions and conundrums of modernity, and the specific form which these took in a postcolonial society. After all, James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939) destroyed the conventions of literary realism in a carnivalesque conflagration. He also dismantled the linguistic structures of intelligibility that uphold this mode of representation, yet he simultaneously produced an interfusion of Irish history with world history and of world history with global myth. Thus, this chapter conceives of a distinction between experimentation and realism as a performative rather than a constative assertion. The advantage of this model is that it not only recalibrates the distinction between realism and modernism in Irish writing, but also dissolves any clean division between Irish writers critically surveying the condition of modern Ireland.

Full textAbstract:
Shadow of a Taxman investigates how the unrecognized Irish Republic’s money was solicited, collected, transmitted, and safeguarded, as well as who the financial backers were and what might have influenced their decision to contribute. The Republic’s quest for funds took its emissaries as far afield as New York, Buenos Aires, Cape Town, and Melbourne, as well as to the Irish community in Britain and virtually every parish in Ireland. By selling ‘war bonds’ to supporters, it raised £370,165 from 140,000 people in Ireland and nearly $6m from 300,000 in the United States. These bonds promised a return to subscribers when British forces had left Ireland and an independent Irish Republic was internationally recognized. Exploiting newly uncovered documents, Shadow of a Taxman reveals the identities of these subscribers. Cross-referencing with census returns, intelligence reports, memoirs, and IRA membership rolls, it provides the first demographic analysis of non-combatant supporters of Irish independence on the eve of its realization. It also shows how access to funds shaped the course of the Irish War of Independence and, ultimately, Irish republicans’ negotiating position with the British government in 1921.

Full textAbstract:
Irish versions of the Eclogues and Georgics serve as another salient example of how culture and nationhood define themselves through Virgil. This chapter explores how Virgil has provided a way of navigating Irish identity and looks at the language choices in Irish translations that lead away from British classically infused literature and towards an alternative classical tradition. In particular, by examining Seamus Heaney’s translation of Eclogue 9 and Peter Fallon’s translation of the Georgics, O’Hogan argues that both provide two aspects of Virgilian ‘repossession’: poets relocate Virgilian poems into familiar Irish landscapes replete with grim realities of rural life; and they make use of Hiberno-English, the everyday version of English used in Ireland.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter deals with the interface between Syntax and Pragmatics by examining argument fronting in Old Irish non-poetic Glosses. Relying on lexical and contextual indicators of discourse function, three Information Structure patterns can be identified: aboutness topic; contrastive topic; and focus. Aboutness and contrastive topic are often resumed and do not mark relativization on the verb, suggesting that they are left dislocation structures. Focus is most commonly expressed through clefts, although clefts in Old Irish can be morphologically opaque. Modern Irish has all these structures besides a non-clefted focus structure, which is likely derived from interpreting morphologically opaque clefts as topicalization. In sum, this paper argues that Old Irish has a set of productive argument fronting positions with distinct and conventional information structural properties that can be analysed in terms of an articulated left periphery, and that these fronting positions are the direct ancestors of fronting positions in Modern Irish.

Full textAbstract:
This book considers how one protestant community responded to the challenges posed to traditional understandings of Christian faith between 1830 and 1930. It examines the attitudes of the leaders of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland to biblical criticism, modern historical method, evolutionary science, and liberal forms of protestant theology. It explores how they reacted to developments in other Christian traditions, including the so-called ‘Romeward’ trend in the established Churches of England and Ireland and the ‘Romanization’ of Catholicism. Was their response distinctively Presbyterian and Irish? How was it shaped by Presbyterian values, intellectual first principles, international denominational networks, identity politics, the expansion of higher education, and relations with other Christian denominations? The story begins in the 1830s, when evangelicalism came to dominate mainstream Presbyterianism, the largest protestant denomination in present-day Northern Ireland. The story ends in the 1920s with the exoneration of J. E. Davey, a professor in the Presbyterian College, Belfast, who was tried for heresy on accusations of being a ‘modernist’. Within this time frame, the book describes the formation and maintenance of a religiously conservative intellectual community. At the heart of the interpretation is the interplay between the Reformed theology of the Westminster Confession of Faith and a commitment to common evangelical principles and religious experience that drew protestants together from various denominations. The definition of conservative within the Presbyterian Church in Ireland moved between these two poles.

In the early Irish Church (600–800 CE) there were apocrypha of Oriental origin and in the tenth-century poem Saltair na Rann (“Psalter of Quatrains”) the account of the Fall of Adam and Eve is recognized as having analogues with rabbinic tradition and also a poem on Adam’s head. This essay first considers Jewish texts that have, or may have, influenced Irish tradition. Jewish influence on Irish traditions is then considered: Latin conjoined treatises on Adam and Eve; Adam created in agro Damasceno, in the field of Damascus; the seven or eight parts from which Adam was made; the four elements from which Adam was made (with rabbinic analogues); the naming of Adam (Slavonic Enoch and Sibylline Oracles 3:24–26); Penance of Adam and Eve; Sunday, Sabbath, respite for the damned; XV Signs before Doomsday; Jewish traditions in Saltair na Rann; the influence of Hebrew Bible traditions on early Irish genealogies and imagined prehistory.

This chapter examines the Irish interrogation of empire through various receptions of Dido, queen of Carthage, tracing a continuum from the popular ballads of the 1700s to Frank McGuinness’s Carthaginians. The ballad tradition, with a fluid system of referencing unfettered by scholarly or literary norms, challenged more elite literary identifications of Ireland as Carthage by linking the Irish not with the Carthaginians, but with Roman generals. Just as Dido features in these ballads in roles unrelated to Aeneas, so also McGuinness’s Dido as a gay Northern Irish young man is a fluid and independent character. Set in the context of the Northern Irish conflict, McGuinness’s play reclaims high culture for the working class, whose representatives show how in refusing imperial models a means of survival can be found.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Chapter 2 argues that Henry James’s Irishness, like his sexuality, was closeted, as the opening reading of Colm Tóibín’s fictionalized James suggests. James’s own work is fuelled by anxiety linked to the vexed issue of his paternal Scots-Irish ancestry, as well as to his mother’s distinct and uninvestigated Irish ethnic roots. In James’s lifetime, Emerson influentially represented the ‘Saxon race’ as the origin from which ‘superior’ American whites descended, a taxonomy that enfolded the Scots-Irish most but not all of the time. The chapter probes the submerged concern in James’s novella Daisy Miller and in his ‘Irish marriage plot’ story, ‘The Modern Warning’, that non-Gaelic, non-Catholic Irishness, originally the most common Irish ancestry in America, might be mistaken for what it is not: poor, Catholic, Gaelic, and post-1845 Famine. James’s racio-ethnic anxieties are further examined through his depiction of both working-class and elite Italians in ‘The Last of the Valerii’ and ‘The Real Thing’, who stand in for differing relations to whiteness of diverse Irish identities in nineteenth-century America, from Hiberno-Norman and Jacobite peer, to Scots-Irish and Gael. The coda pivots to the impact of pro-slavery Irish nationalist John Mitchel and his namesake mayor grandson on the New York of James’s lifetime.

Abstract Figures from the Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson to the Caribbean-Irish Rihanna, as well as literature, film, caricature, and beauty discourse, convey how the Irish racially transformed multiple times: in the slave-holding Caribbean, on America’s frontiers and antebellum plantations, and along its eastern seaboard. This cultural history of race and centuries of Irishness in the Americas examines the forcibly transported Irish, the eighteenth-century Presbyterian Ulster Scots, and post-1845 Famine immigrants. Their racial transformations are indicated by the designations they acquired in the Americas: ‘Redlegs,’ ‘Scots-Irish,’ and ‘black Irish.’ In literature by Fitzgerald, O’Neill, Mitchell, Glasgow, and Yerby (an African-American author of Scots-Irish heritage), the Irish are both colluders and victims within America’s racial structure. Depictions range from Irish encounters with Native and African Americans to competition within America’s immigrant hierarchy between ‘Saxon’ Scots-Irish and ‘Celtic’ Irish Catholic. Irish-connected presidents feature, but attention to queer and multiracial authors, public women, beauty professionals, and performers complicates the ‘Irish whitening’ narrative. Thus, ‘Irish Princess’ Grace Kelly’s globally-broadcast ascent to royalty paves the way for ‘America’s royals,’ the Kennedys. The presidencies of the Scots-Irish Jackson and Catholic-Irish Kennedy signalled their respective cohorts’ assimilation. Since Gothic literature particularly expresses the complicity that attaining power (‘whiteness’) entails, subgenres named ‘Scots-Irish Gothic’ and ‘Kennedy Gothic’ are identified: in Gothic by Brown, Poe, James, Faulkner, and Welty, the violence of the colonial Irish motherland is visited upon marginalized Americans, including, sometimes, other Irish groupings. History is Gothic in Irish-American narrative because the undead Irish past replays within America’s contexts of race.

Chapter 5 gives an overview of the history of Irish nationalist fundraising in America, from 1820 to 1920. It explores the relationships between Irish nationalist figures such as Daniel O’Connell, Charles Stewart Parnell, and John Redmond and their sympathizers in America such as the Fenian Brotherhood, Clan na Gael, or the United Irish League of America. Based on this exploration, it introduces the particular dynamics that determined the bargaining position of Irish nationalists in Ireland relative to Irish nationalist organizations in the United States. As gatekeepers of Irish-American money, the leading Irish-American organizations had considerable bargaining power relative to the Irish nationalist politicians. However, the Irish-American organizations derived their legitimacy from their ability to provide an outlet for Irish nationalist sympathy in America. For this, they needed recognition from the leading Irish nationalist organization in Ireland. Having set out the dynamics of diaspora finance, the chapter then charts the role of Irish-American money in the development of politics in Ireland, from the reunification of the Irish Parliamentary Party in the 1900s to the rise of Sinn Féin in the 1910s.

This chapter focuses on Northern Ireland, a jurisdiction within the UK acutely affected by the nature of the Brexit debate and the process. It is a contested region that is divided along ethno-national lines and still emerging from a violent conflict. Removing Northern Ireland from the EU against its wishes will have long-term consequences that remain difficult to predict. One result is a more intense discussion of the region’s place within the UK, with Irish reunification acknowledged to be a way to return to the EU. The chapter then analyses the Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland attached to the Withdrawal Agreement which regulates the single most controversial issue in the Brexit process: namely, the Irish border question. It looks at the difficulties connected to the fragile peace process in Northern Ireland and explains the creative solution that was ultimately agreed in the withdrawal treaty to prevent the return of a hard border in the island of Ireland through regulatory alignment, while also indicating the challenges that the Protocol creates.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses the cultural and political reception of Virgil by the nationalist scholar, cleric, and Irish-language expert Patrick Dinneen. Dinneen forges connections between classical antiquity and the Irish experience, seeing himself as a latter-day Virgil, similarly dispossessed of his lands but engaged in the production of a national literature. Among his domesticating receptions of Virgil to the Irish context, he read the Georgics as a model for calling a people back to the land after civil strife. In Dinneen’s reading of Aeneid 6 as recommending a benign form of empire, however, the chapter pinpoints a tension between his favourable view of the Roman Empire as spreading civilization and Christianity, on the one hand, and the potential of empire for injustice and oppression, on the other.

This chapter illustrates how Brian O’Nolan, author of the Cruiskeen Lawn columns in The Irish Times from the 1940s to the 1960s under the pseudonym Myles na gCopaleen, occupied a liminal position between intelligentsia and mob, modern and postmodern, Irish and English, classical and medieval. His columns, with their wide variety of classical allusions and multilingual use of classical language, Irish and English, underline the changing attitudes to classical learning in Ireland during the mid-twentieth century, not least in respect of the ‘nativist’ privileging of the Irish language in Celtic Studies. O’Nolan’s code-switching between Latin and Irish, and his glosses on other portions of the newspaper recall the practice of medieval scribes, implying that the Irish language is historically connected with classical learning.

This chapter assesses the Irish reformation, which began as a consequence of religious change in England. After several years of growing pressure, the Irish reformation commenced in 1536, when Henry VIII was proclaimed as supreme head of the established church. However, despite strenuous and sometimes bloody efforts to impose its ideals, the protestant reformation in Ireland comprehensively failed. The Irish church did not develop any equivalent to the Scots Confession (1560) or the Thirty-Nine Articles of the Church of England (1563) until its convocation accepted the Irish Articles (1615). The chapter then considers why Catholic resistance to the protestant reformation eventually succeeded. Ultimately, the protestant reformation failed to persuade the majority of Irish Catholics, but it also failed to persuade a large minority of Irish protestants.

Abstract Chapter 1 suggests that the commonplace that Irish Gothic literature pertains to the Anglo-Irish Ascendancy class does not account for Ireland’s other settler-colonial cohort, the Ulster Scots. In addition, the category ‘American Gothic’ does not encompass texts by or about the latter community’s descendants in America, the Scots-Irish. In response, the first chapter theorizes that works by Charles Brockden Brown, Edgar Allan Poe, Henry James, and William Faulkner that express the unease of the Ulster settler in America are neither fully Anglo-Irish nor American Gothic, but a subgenre that will be termed ‘Scots-Irish Gothic’. In depicting the violence of the Old World being ceaselessly reprised in the New, these works question the legitimacy of Ulster Protestant presence in colonial Ireland and on the colonial American frontier, locations in which the Ulster-Scots were oppressor and oppressed, white and off-white. The Scots-Irish Andrew Jackson, scourge of Native Americans, emerges as an undead presence who repeatedly returns in both Irish-American fiction and American political culture down to the Trump administration. The chapter’s closing discussion of Gothic’s doppelganger (uncanny double) motif posits that deeply rooted Irish patronymic traditions render the male line ‘ancestor haunted’. This emphasis is returned to throughout the study since surnames in Irish-American culture are understood to dictate ethno-racial and political allegiance, even when acquired through marriage.

Este artigo descreve um sistema de segurança para ser utilizado em sistemas de informação baseado na biometria da íris. O processo de autenticação de usuários em um sistema de informação é de suma importância e pode ser realizado usando diversos métodos como: senhas alfanuméricas, certificação digital, dispositivos eletrônicos gerador de senhas ou sistemas que reconhecem características humanas, como é o caso da íris. Um sistema biométrico de íris consta das seguintes etapas: aquisição, segmentação, normalização, extração de padrões e finalmente a etapa de reconhecimento, que consiste na verificação ou validação do usuário no sistema. Cada uma dessas etapas possui relação com o desempenho do sistema biométrico. Nesse contexto, o objetivo principal deste trabalho é estudar o impacto da qualidade da imagem da íris, na etapa de aquisição e o seu desempenho global do sistema biométrico implementado, estabelecendo limiares mínimos de qualidade para garantir uma adequada autenticação do usuário no sistema. Os resultados experimentais demonstraram que os parâmetros de falsa aceitação e rejeição diminuem se um limiar de qualidade é estabelecido.
