The Irish Army in the Congo
The National Army (N.A.) of the Free State (F.S.) had as its forerunner the Irish Republican Army (I.R.A.). Many who fought in the Anglo Irish war with the I.R.A. continued their service with the N.A. in the civil war of 1922/3. Although there was heavy recruitment to the NA at the start of the …

Under ballast mats for railway infrastructure–a North American approach to component characterization
Railroads continually look for ways to extend the life of their track infrastructure and its components given poor track performance can lead to reduced transportation efficiencies. As such, under ballast mat (UBM) applications have seen growth in the North American (N.A.) freight railroad …

Confirming QTL for seed yield from exotic soybean germplasm
The genetic improvement of soybean (Glycine max (L.)) cultivars in North America (N.A.) has, for the most part, been accomplished by intermating elite cultivars. This breeding strategy, combined with the limited N.A. genetic base, has resulted in a very narrow gene pool. Plant introductions (PI) …

Nitrogen cycling in the South Atlantic and South Indian Oceans investigated using nitrate isotopes: implications for nutrient supply, ocean fertility, carbon export, and climate
Bioavailable nitrogen (N) limits phytoplankton growth across much of the (sub)tropical ocean, thereby modulating ocean fertility and climate. Dinitrogen (N2) fixation is the dominant source of new N to the ocean and is thought to occur mainly in well-lit, warm, oligotrophic waters. The …

The electronic structure of the pair-density-wave (PDW) superconductor in the cuprates
Pair density waves (PDWs) are a inhomogeneous superconducting states whose Cooper pairs possess a finite center-of-mass-momentum, ±Qi, resulting in a oscillatory gap in space in the ith directiond. In other words, the PDW order parameter is a Fourier expansion of the superconducting order with non …

Bridging the distance
The BETD is offered both as a pre-service course in the country's four colleges of education, and, by distance mode, to unqualified and under-qualified serving teachers as an in-service course. Many people, both inside and outside the teaching profession in Namibia, have questioned the efficacy of …

Mediated encounters in diasporic space:exploring processes of transculturation syncretism and identity redefinition in the Ghanaian diaspora in London
This thesis explores the diasporic experiences of Ghanaians in London and assesses how Ghanaian identity is redefined and constructed in new contexts. The mediated experience dimension of this exploration considers the difference that the diverse menu of cultural resources offered by television is …

Citizenship education in initial teacher education in the Sultanate of Oman: an exploratory study of the perceptions of student teachers of social studies and their tutors
This study can be regarded as the first study that has focused on exploring citizenship and citizenship education in initial teacher education not only in the Omani context but also in Arabic contexts. Specifically, the main purpose of the present study was to identify the perceptions and practices …

Pharmaceutical analysis and in-vitro aerodynamic characterisation of inhaled theophylline formulations containing drug particles prepared by supercritical fluid processing. Chromatographic, spectroscopic, and thermal analysis of micron-sized theophylline particles prepared by supercritical fluid technology and in-vitro evaluation of their performance as inhaled dry powder formulations.
The aim of this work is to study the in-vitro aerodynamic performance of a new inhaled theophylline formulation prepared by supercritical fluids technique. For the analysis of the output from the in-vitro tests (and further in-vivo tests) a new, fast, sensitive high performance liquid …
