Letter from M.J. O'Connor to Hagan
No full textTypescript letter signed (M.J. O'Connor), Solicitor, 2 George Street, Wexford, to Hagan, in thanks for his letter. Regretting he cannot go to Rome at present; he hopes to go later in the year and would want it to coincide with Fr. Kelly's visit there. Expressing gladness that Hagan has 'such a distinguished band of Irishmen' around him; for the students' benefit listing the eleven best things in the world as coming from Ireland. Best wishes for the year
Letter from M.J. Browne to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Browne, St. Patrick’s, Maynooth (County Kildare), to [Curran], regretting they neither met in the west, where Curran decided not to go, nor in Dublin, which Browne avoided because of the Games. In thanks for the memorandum on the College negotiations; the twists and turns of the intrigue would be very instructive. Enclosing a commission for Tizi (not extant)

Letter from M.J. Browne to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Browne, St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth (County Kildare), to Hagan. Stating their satisfaction that Patten seems to be accepted by Liverpool diocese. Then observing that the country 'if properly tapped would sweep the gang from power'; Fianna Fail is the only party holding meetings at present and they are gathering strength apace. (The Archbishop of) Tuam would approve of the party were they to go in the Dáil; Browne disagreeing sees the power an extra-parliamentary group can have, emphasising their objective. Then asking for information on Fr. Ellis whom he is to meet this week. Also asking for copy programmes of the chief universities for comparison. Adding he said nothing of Kildare
Letter from M.J. Browne to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from B.(M.J. Browne) (St. Patrick’s) College, Maynooth (County Kildare), to Hagan. Describing the appointment of Dr. O'Doherty to Maynooth, instead of Dr. Fair, as a fait accompli although Dr. Dignan made a strong speech. Awaiting further approval from Rome though the late cardinal meant to protest against outside interference; the appointments are supposed to be only lecturerships. Tuam (Archbishop Gilmartin) is returning and will be tempted to visit Rome on the way. Moyne House will be sold; the profit may go to the bishops or to the Alsatian Fathers who have been directing it. Wishing Seán T. would take a holiday. Observing strong republican feeling in the country, surfacing after floating of the new daily; were the party ready in six months, they would sweep the country. The farmers' markets are continuously low, disabling independent thinking. Offering sympathies on DeLai's death; some French think the composer was not an isolated case (unclear)
Letter from M.J. Browne to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Browne, St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth (County Kildare), to (Hagan). He gave the enclosure to Canon Joseph Walsh, urging him to help the letter writer, nephew of the late Canon McHugh, Carna; discussing the case where large charitable bequests were made and relatives of the deceased are in trouble. Commiserating on Hagan's drawn-out battle with Bisleti; many argue that Irish archbishops should go out themselves to assert their right. Brief comment on the way income tax arrears were collected; Hagan's young friend says nothing on this. Then commenting that among the students – reflecting wider society – the Irish language movement collapsed and that discussions of national questions are frowned upon: 'it is a symptom that the conductor of the retreat Fr. Fegan S.J. found it useful and even possible to insist strongly that Emmett the best of patriots died an atheist.
Vacuum Insulation Panels Applied in Building Constructions
No full textDue to sustainability and due to international treaties, it is desired and required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions drastically. One contributor to these emissions is the burning of fossil fuels for generating power and electricity to be used in and for buildings. Buildings and building-related processes are responsible for about 40% of the primary energy consumption in the European Union. More than half of this energy is applied for heating systems in dwellings and commercial buildings. The European Union therefore has laid down new energy performance requirements for buildings in the European Directive on the Energy Performance of Buildings. Moreover, a reduction of energy losses of buildings during their occupational phase is important for facilitating the implementation of sustainable energy sources in the built environment. Increasing the insulation value of the envelope of buildings may contribute to this reduction of primary energy use. Two strategies can be followed. The first strategy is to increase the thickness of the thermal insulation layer. Until recently, this strategy has primarily been adopted. If, however, German or Swiss Passivhaus standard is applied, the thickness of this insulation layer would increase to beyond 30 cm, resulting in very thick building enclosures. The second, more innovative, strategy for reducing energy losses through the building skin would be the application of more effective thermal insulators. One such more effective thermal insulator is a vacuum insulation panel, abbreviated as VIP. A VIP consists of an open-celled core material which is evacuated and then tightly sealed into a barrier envelope to maintain this vacuum. The vacuum inside the pores of the core material reduces the thermal conductivity of the product significantly, as a result of which the thickness of the insulation layer can be reduced to obtain a certain performance. This reduction of thickness is among the most promising features for large-scale application of VIPs in the building industry. However, integration of VIPs into buildings must be performed very meticulously for several reasons; first, due to its nature a VIP cannot be processed on site and needs careful planning in advance; second, it is very sensitive to mechanical damage thus requiring careful handling; third, thermal bridges along the panel’s edges reduce its performance; fourth, the composite system is highly subjected to aging. This dissertation therefore looks into many of these aspects, presents several calculation tools and shows how VIPs can be applied in façade panels, EPS insulation boards and as under-floor insulation. With the wide-spread proliferation of VIPs in buildings a more sustainable and healthy environment can then be achieved.Building TechnologyArchitectur
Letter from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Curran, Archbishop's House, Dublin, to Hagan. The Bishop of Clonfert informed him that it could be arranged for Dr. Fair to go to Rome; asking Hagan's advice on payment matters [for Fair's employment with transcription work in Rome]. Thanking for telegram concerning the lady transcriber ('scriba'); asking for acknowledgement of Peter's Pence when it arrives
Trans-ancestry genome-wide association study identifies 12 genetic loci influencing blood pressure and implicates a role for DNA methylation
No full textWe carried out a trans-ancestry genome-wide association and replication study of blood pressure phenotypes among up to 320,251 individuals of East Asian, European and South Asian ancestry. We find genetic variants at 12 new loci to be associated with blood pressure (P = 3.9 × 10−11 to 5.0 × 10−21). The sentinel blood pressure SNPs are enriched for association with DNA methylation at multiple nearby CpG sites, suggesting that, at some of the loci identified, DNA methylation may lie on the regulatory pathway linking sequence variation to blood pressure. The sentinel SNPs at the 12 new loci point to genes involved in vascular smooth muscle (IGFBP3, KCNK3, PDE3A and PRDM6) and renal (ARHGAP24, OSR1, SLC22A7 and TBX2) function. The new and known genetic variants predict increased left ventricular mass, circulating levels of NT-proBNP, and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality (P = 0.04 to 8.6 × 10−6). Our results provide new evidence for the role of DNA methylation in blood pressure regulation
Letter from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Curran, Knock Abbey (County Louth), to Hagan, on the cause of the Irish Martyrs; he does not expect this work will be delayed. The postulator will not be appointed until the general meeting of the bishops; it is now an apostolic cause. Expressing certainty, 'despite all cabal etc.' that Hagan will succeed; discussing his future unchanged involvement in the cause as witness; asking for any advice Monsignor Salotti might have. Appreciating his promise of help to Fr. Angelus; elaborating on his eagerness to have the work go smoothly for people so dedicated to the work [of transcription]
