'Balls in the Air’: Exploring Women’s Careers Internationally
(2012)
Crowley-Henry, Marian
Abstract:
There have been calls for the pluralization of research and publications on international assignees beyond the widely described organization-assigned expatriate. Equally it has been noted that females are under-represented in the organization-assigned expatriation pool. This paper presents an under-explored category of self-initiated international assignees: highly educated, non-French, Western (first world) females who have moved to the South of France while attempting to maintain their paid working careers. A qualitative research study was undertaken, where the career-related experiences of a sample of twenty females (from a wider study of thirty-seven individuals) were collected through in-depth interviews conducted over a three-year period. The core findings from those career narratives are shared in this paper. The findings highlight both the personal nature of careers and the permeable career/life boundary, described by one of the respondents as juggling several ‘balls in the ...

'From the Russell Library…'
(2009)
Woods, Penny
Abstract:
In 1808 the following story about a Maynooth student appeared in Watty Cox’s 'Irish Magazine and monthly asylum for neglected biography': A Hungarian, who translated some of Ovid's elegies into Greek verse, travelled through these countries in 1802. He had been in both the English universities, in Edinburgh, and at the College in Dublin [TCD]; at each of which places he conversed with the cleverest men in the Greek and Roman tongues. After spending some time in Dublin College, curiosity led him to Maynooth. It was during the summer recess, and most of the professors were from home. He met a lad about twenty years of age, with whom he entered into conversation. He asked several questions concerning the internal economy of the college; and, among the rest, if there was a professor of Greek on the establishment. The young lad, indignant at the affront offered his Alma Mater, spoke to him in that language with the greatest fluency. The Hungarian was struck with wonder, a...

'Towards a lasting peace'?: the Northern Ireland multi-party agreement, referendum and Assembly elections of 1998
(1998)
Doyle, John
Abstract:
The agreement signed by the Irish and British governments and most of the political parties in Northern Ireland on 10th April 1998 (Good Friday) was a truly historic step. The agreement itself marks the most significant shift in party political positions since the partition of Ireland. This, coupled with the fact that the agreement is open-ended, and indeed under its provisions must develop beyond what is already agreed to survive means that an analysis of the evolution of party political attitudes which led to this agreement is essential in order to understand its significance. The following article gives a brief summary of the key provisions of the agreement, analyses the processes which led the different parties towards a position where agreement was possible and examines the referenda which ratified the agreement North and South and election results to the new Northern Ireland Assembly - the public's first opportunities to pass judgement on the efforts of their politicians.

“There are two things that people don’t like to hear about themselves”: the anthropology of Ireland and the Irish view of anthropology
(1996)
Taylor, Lawrence J.
Abstract:
My title is derived from a quip by the late John Maloney, a wise publican of southwest Donegal. The year was 1973, and we had been discussing the public relations problems of anthropologists in Ireland. No doubt exaggerating, he told me that, according to his sources, neither of two ethnographers of small islands off the west coast could safely return to his research site. I asked him about a rather technical kinship article by another anthropologist who had conducted fieldwork close by in west Donegal; surely that had not upset anyone? His answer: “There are two things that people don’t like to hear about themselves; one of them is lies and the other’s the truth.”

1916 in 2006
(2008)
Conway, Brian
Abstract:
What was meant to be a direct and serious threat to British rule in Ireland in 1916 became a small-scale skirmish on the streets of Dublin that had little impact beyond the capital city. But the actions of the men and women who were behind the Easter Rising have an important claim on Irish collective memory. That the nationalist rhetoric of the now famous 1916 martyrs was wrapped in a religious idiom, and appealed to this-worldly as well as otherworldly sentiment, helped to ensure its place in posterity. For all the importance of this event in our collective memory though, it has not always been remembered as it was on Easter Sunday 2006, when the Irish state organised an elaborate official commemoration of the tragic and ill-fated rising, the first such event since 1966.

3D perception of numerical hologram reconstructions enhanced by motion and stereo
(2010)
Näsänen, Risto; Naughton, Thomas J.; Colomb, Tristan; Emery, Yves
Abstract:
We investigated the question of how the perception of 3D information of digital holograms reconstructed numerically and presented on conventional displays depends on motion and stereoscopic presentation. Perceived depth in an adjustable random pattern stereogram was matched to the depth in holographic objects. The objects in holograms were a microscopic biological cell and a macroscopic coil. Stereoscopic presentation increased perceived depth substantially in comparison to non-stereoscopic presentation. When stereoscopic cues were weak or absent e.g. because of blur, motion increased perceived depth considerably. However, when stereoscopic cues were strong, the effect of motion was small. In conclusion, for the maximisation of perceived 3D information of holograms on conventional displays, it seems highly beneficial to use the combination of motion and stereoscopic presentation.

802.11 Wireless LAN Multiplayer Game Capacity and Optimization
(2009)
Qi, Hanghang; Malone, David; Botvich, Dmitri
Abstract:
Real-time multiplayer games are a popular application of networks and as IEEE 802.11 wireless networks are widely used, games are expected to be widely played on wireless networks. However, 802.11 networks with the normal MAC (DCF) may present some challenges when supporting real-time games traffic. In this work, we present a theoretical model which can predict the performance and capacity of 802.11 WLAN for Quake 4, a real-time FPS game. Using the wireless network game model, we derive throughput, delay, jitter and MOS (mean opinion score) as the number of game clients increases in the WLAN and predict that the capacity of a default 802.11b wireless network can support around 10 players for Quake 4. In 802.11e networks, QoS (quality of service) is provided with 4 configurable MAC layer parameters. With the network game model, we show that with proper TXOP configuration at the AP and game server, the network can be optimized and its capacity improves to around 15 players.

A Capability Maturity Framework for Sustainable Information and Communication Technology
(2011)
Donnellan, Brian; Sheridan, Charles; Curry, Edward
Abstract:
Researchers estimate that information and communication technology (ICT) is responsible for at least 2 percent of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Furthermore, in any individual business, ICT is responsible for a much higher percentage of that business's GHG footprint. Yet researchers also estimate that ICT can provide business solutions to reduce its GHG footprint fivefold. However, because the field is new and evolving, few guidelines and best practices are available. To address this issue, a consortium of leading organizations from industry, the nonprofit sector, and academia has developed and tested a framework for systematically assessing and improving SICT capabilities. The Innovation Value Institute (IVI; http://ivi.nuim.ie) consortium used an open-innovation model of collaboration, engaging academia and industry in scholarly work to create the SICT-Capability Maturity Framework (SICT-CMF), which is discussed in this paper.

A Hardware Optimised CMOS Adaptive Noise Canceller Implementation
(2002)
Schwarzbacher, A.; Herz, M; David, F; Timoney, Joseph
Abstract:
Up until now, the main foci of development in mobile communication equipment have been to decrease its size and to extend its battery operation times. However, further reductions in the size of devices are physically limited by the user interface requirements and therefore, alternative aspects of these devices must be targeted for enhancement by designers. A feature of mobile communications equipment is the variety of environments within which they are used, so algorithms that can improve the quality of a transmission are highly desirable. In this paper, mobile telephony devices are being specifically considered and a CMOS implementation of the filter block of an adaptive noise canceller will be presented. Results will then be given to demonstrate how this circuit can significantly increase speech quality by suppressing interfering noise without requiring any prior assumptions on its properties.

A Highly Nonlinear Differentially 4 Uniform Power Mapping That Permutes Fields of Even Degree

A Highly Nonlinear Differentially 4 Uniform Power Mapping That Permutes Fields of Even Degree
(2010)
Bracken, Carl; Leander, Gregor
Abstract:
Functions with low differential uniformity can be used as the s-boxes of symmetric cryptosystems as they have good resistance to differential attacks. The AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) uses a differentially- 4 uniform function called the inverse function. Any function used in a symmetric cryptosystem should be a permutation. Also, it is required that the function is highly nonlinear so that it is resistant to Matsui’s linear attack. In this article we demonstrate that the highly nonlinear permutation f(x) = x22k+2k+1, discovered by Hans Dobbertin [7], has differential uniformity of four and hence, with respect to differential and linear cryptanalysis, is just as suitable for use in a symmetric cryptosystem as the inverse function.

Abstract:
The “best practices” of international software standards are considered important in improving the software process. The ISO/IEC 29110 standard defines lifecycle profiles for Very Small Entities (VSEs) and VSEs have also been recognized important in the software industry. Since this standard is novel, practitioners need to be actively engaged in their own learning. Serious games offer the potential not only to entertain and educate, but can also operate as a strategy for promoting the standard itself. The findings of this explorative study make possible an initial judgment about its potential as a fun standard learning tool as well as to analyze its pertinence, engagement, strengths, and weaknesses as guidance for further evolution.

A methodology for validating artifact removal techniques for fNIRS
(2011)
Sweeney, Kevin; Ayaz, Hasan; Ward, Tomas E.; Izzetoglu, Meltem; McLoone, Sean F.; Onaral, Banu
Abstract:
fNIRS recordings are increasingly utilized to monitor brain activity in both clinical and connected health settings. These optical recordings provide a convenient measurement of cerebral hemodynamic changes which can be linked to motor and cognitive performance. Such measurements are of clinical utility in a broad range of conditions ranging from dementia to movement rehabilitation therapy. For such applications fNIRS is increasingly deployed outside the clinic for patient monitoring in the home. However, such a measurement environment is poorly controlled and motion, in particular, is a major source of artifacts in the signal, leading to poor signal quality for subsequent clinical interpretation. Artifact removal techniques are increasingly being employed with an aim of reducing the effect of the noise in the desired signal. Currently no methodology is available to accurately determine the efficacy of a given artifact removal technique due to the lack of a true reference for the un...

Abstract:
The explosion of new technologies in recent times has created many as yet unexplored possibilities in the area of assistive technology. Assistive technology may be thought of as any technology that alleviates the affects of an impairment, disability or handicap. One of the greatest challenges facing designers of assistive technologies is to accurately define the user requirements. The background research chapter of this report attempts to define the user requirements for a navigation aid that can be used any person, regardless of visual ability, both through literature surveys and through dialogue with potential end users. The conclusions drawn from this research are used as a basis for an investigation into possible technological solutions, culminating in a technical summary. Subsequently, the design and implementation of a software package capable of providing environmental information and navigational suggestions is discussed in the final chapters The package is designed to be f...

A nonlinear extension for linear boundary element methods in wave energy device modelling
(2012)
Mérigaud, Alexis; Gilloteaux, Jean-Christophe; Ringwood, John
Abstract:
To date, mathematical models for wave energy devices typically follow Cummins equation, with hydrodynamic parameters determined using boundary element methods. The resulting models are, for the vast majority of cases, linear, which has advantages for ease of computation and a basis for control design to maximise energy capture. While these linear models have attractive properties, the assumptions under which linearity is valid are restrictive. In particular, the assumption of small movements about an equilibrium point, so that higher order terms are not significant, needs some scrutiny. While this assumption is reasonable in many applications, in wave energy the main objective is to exaggerate the movement of the device through resonance, so that energy capture can be maximised. This paper examines the value of adding specific nonlinear terms to hydrodynamic models for wave energy devices, to improve the validity of such models across the full operational spectrum.

A religion that endures: the medieval legacy in Irish popular piety
(2005)
Ryan, Salvador
Abstract:
There is a story told about a boy who wanted a bicycle for Christmas and who prayed earnestly to God, promising, in return, that he would be good for a whole month. He soon thought better of pledging such a long period of virtue and revised it to a week and, finally, to a single day. Realising that he might not have the necessary resources even for that length of time, he chose an alternative approach. Seeing a statue of the Virgin on top of the mantelpiece he took it down and wrapped it in a towel, addressing God once more in the words ‘If you ever want to see your mother again …’ We may remember hearing such a tale recounted at parish missions or novenas, conducted by members of religious orders in our youth, or on other occasions as part of an homiletic ice-breaker. Yet, many may not realise that the story itself has a long history. In a poem entitled Bláth an Mhachaire Muire (Mary’s Field-flower) by sixteenth-century Irish bardic poet, Aonghus Fionn Ó Dálaigh, a version of this ...

A rule based approach to real time systems
(1991)
Xie, Peijuan
Abstract:
In this thesis, a progressive refinement approach is proposed for the use of rule-based systems in real time applications. In this approach, the knowledge involved Is constructed in a hierarchy of the levels. Part of this knowledge determines the time available for a decision. Progressive refinement allows the system to take corrective action by forming appropriate solutions within time constraints. An expert system shell written in Prolog is constructed to implement the progressive refinement framework. An English like language is also constructed, which allows the time constrained rules for the system to be specified in a user friendly manner. The framework can be applied to both discrete and continuous systems. An example is provided of the application of the framework to a discrete system. Experiments were also carried out to investigate the application of the framework to a continuous system, and their results are presented here.

A Sociological Study of Addiction: Power and Social Change from the "rock bottom up"
(2009)
Doyle, Patricia
Abstract:
In this study the subject of addiction/recovery is used to ‘test’ the conceptual ideas of Margaret Archer (1996) and Thomas Smith (1995). Both are systems theorists’ and both engage in cause and effect analysis. As they hold contrasting views on how personal and cultural change takes place this study is an attempt to establish the direction of causal influence on social change as it applies to the history of addiction/recovery from each author’s perspective. By firstly examining the history of ideas (cultural system) from a critical realist perspective followed by an exploration of how the recovering community came to believe these ideas in the first place we are given a glimpse of the external (Archer,1996) and internal (Smith, 1995) constraints that the recovering community has confronted over time. Archer is keen to address the varying degrees of freedom and constraint agency confronts at both the cultural system and socio-cultural systems level over time. From her perspective th...

A Spectrum of Colors: Investigating the Temporal Frequency Characteristics of the Human Visual System Using a System Identification Approach
(2006)
Lalor, Edmund C.; Reilly, Richard B.; Pearlmutter, Barak A.; Foxe, John J.
Abstract:
Noise input signals are commonly used in both linear and nonlinear system identification of physiological systems. This method can be applied to electrophysiological analysis of the human visual system by controlling the modulation of the contrast of a checkerboard stimulus using a pre-computed noise waveform. In this study we describe how one can obtain an estimate of the linear impulse response of the visual system using noise waveforms. Furthermore, we examine the impulse responses obtained using noise signals with different frequency characteristics, in an attempt to investigate the temporal frequency characteristics of the human visual system. We show that noise signals with frequency content greater than 15 Hz are more effective at evoking these responses than those with little or no power at high frequencies.
