No full textThe article discusses the involvement of residents of Prince Edward Island in the Irish Repeal Movement, which sought to repeal the Act of Union of 1800 between Great Britain and Ireland, focusing on the years 1843 and 1844. It comments on the Loyal National Repeal Association, led by Irish political leader Daniel O'Connell.

Ethnic identity, political identity and ethnic conflict: simulating the effect of congruence between the two identities on ethnic violence and conflict
No full textThis thesis outlines and presents an alternative hypothetical process to the emergence of ethnic conflict. Ethnic conflicts, rather than being dependent upon pre-existing 'ancient hatreds', are instead the result of a congruence between ethnic and political identity which grants individuals the ability to use ethnicity to identify and eliminate political threats. This hypothesis is formed by the examination of three case studies of ethnic conflict: Lebanon, Northern Ireland and Croatia. This hypothesis is then formalised and tested using an agent based simulation in which agent interactions are dependent upon ethnic and political identity and the congruence between the two. As predicted there was a strong positive correlation between how accurately ethnic identity reflected political identity and the level of ethnically motivated violence in the simulation, although the relationship was not linear. Furthermore the effect of a shift in congruence was found to be roughly comparable to the effect of initialising agents with a moderate level of pre-existing ethnic antagonism
Spraying deterrent stimuli as a treatment method for the prevention of biofouling caused by the mudworm Polydora ligni webster on New Jersey oyster farms
No full textShellfish aquaculture, like all aquaculture, struggle with the recurring nuisance and pest of bio-fouling. Rack-and-bag oyster farms along the Delaware Bay shoreline of New Jersey fight a particular bio-fouling caused by the mudworm, Polydora ligni. Although methods of contending with the mud excreted by this worm on aquaculture equipment have been tried and are utilized, little work on preventative or proactive treatments has been conducted. This proposed study addresses this deficiency by attempting to find deterrent stimuli for the Polydora Mudworm applied by means of a spray. The proposed study will conduct trials of various solutions in a laboratory setting leading to field testing of the successful lab trials. By focusing on the natural thresholds for deterrence as applied by spray, the groundwork is laid for further exploration in environmental friendly pesticides for field use in aquaculture while still saving the farmer money in labor and crop losses.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Edward "Ned" Gain

Shipbuilding and timber management in the Royal Dockyards 1750-1850 : an archaeological investigation of timber marks
No full textThis work presents a study of shipbuilding and timber management in the Royal Dockyards in the period 1750 – 1850, focusing on an archaeological investigation of ship timber marks. The first chapter outlines the concept of timber marking in shipbuilding contexts, stressing the multi-disciplinary approach to the study highlighted in the available archaeological and documentary evidence by which the practice of timber marking can be understood.
Chapter two outlines the background to timber marking in the Georgian era and the development of the practice within the broader advances made in shipbuilding, technology and design prior to the end of the 17th century. Chapter three outlines the developments in shipbuilding and the introduction of systems to control and
standardise the management of timber in the Royal Dockyards in the 18th century. In the latter half of the 18th century we will see the attempts of naval reformers to develop these systems of timber management and pave the way for the sweeping changes made at the beginning of the 19th century. Chapter four highlights these changes with the introduction of the Timber Masters and looks at the nature of timber
management and the marking of timbers as identified in documentary sources. This evidence lays the foundation for the understanding of timber marking in the 19th century as witnessed in the archaeological record. The remaining chapters present the
much more extensive archaeological evidence for timber marking among several high profile assemblages. The main assemblages presented in Chapters 5 to 9 show the diversity of timber marking practices and how they relate to the working processes of the Royal Dockyards.
The research offers new insights into the understanding of shipbuilding and the management of timber in the Royal Dockyards between 1750 and 1850 and explores the possibilities for further avenues of study
