It is difficult to develop and deploy Language Technology and applications for minority languages for many reasons. These include the lack of Natural Language Processing (NLP) resources for the language, a scarcity of NLP researchers who speak the language and the communication gap between teachers in the classroom and researchers working in universities and other centres of research. One appro...

Introduction Although the domestic has been critically observed in relation to British artists in the 1990s, it has not been considered cross-culturally in terms of Irish artists. Considering many female Irish artists were coming of age in the 1990s, as part of a newly enlightened media-aware generation, conscious of feminist ideas and changing attitudes towards women both in Ireland and intern...

BACKGROUND Glomuvenous malformations (GVMs) are rare bluish lesions that can affect the skin and mucosal surfaces. They represent defects in vasculogenesis. Lesions can occur sporadically or in an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Recent studies have shown that mutations in the glomulin gene (GLMN) on chromosome 1p21-22 are responsible for familial GVMs. OBJECTIVES To search for mutatio...

Executive Summary With business and technology complexity increasing rapidly, information technology management departments are attempting to deal with the challenge in a variety of ways. One approach is through the deployment of a nonstandard, comprehensive, finishing course, a so-called capstone information technology management (ITM) course. This paper describes the experiences of faculty me...

This paper reports on the evaluation of a Virtual Social Space (VSS) intended to resolve the problems of isolation and lack of socialisation in a continuing professional distance education Masters programme in Information Technology (MA in ITM). These phenomena are due to geographical dispersion and disparate time schedules of learners. Very often, peer-to-peer socialisation in distance educati...

Both contemporaries and historians have focused on the high-profile 1874 Belfast Address in which John Tyndall was widely perceived as promulgating atheism. Although some historians have instead interpreted him as a pantheist or an agnostic, it is clear that any such labels do not accurately capture Tyndall’s religious position throughout his life. By contrast, this paper seeks to chart Tyndall...

With the remarkable consistency that suggests that they are distorted forms of knowledge, stereotypes of the Irish cluster around the things we do with a single orifice, the mouth. They turn on what goes into and what comes out of that singularly labile orifice, and does so to excess. We drink too much and talk too much, at times even too well: we sing and we blather, bawl as we brawl and wail ...
