Beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide : religious and ethnic diversity in the North and South of Ireland
No full textPaper presented to the IBIS conference Old structures, new beliefs: religion, community and politics in contemporary Ireland, University College Dublin, 15 May 2003.This paper explores the challenges posed by the ethnic diversification of contemporary Irish society for conventional understandings of and responses to issues of religion, community and politics. It argues that the particularities of social and institutional histories and structures in the North and South have eclipsed wider considerations of both race and ethnicity and religious identity beyond the Catholic-Protestant divide. This has, in turn, served to obscure the many dynamic changes that such diversity has catalysed both within Irish civil society generally, and within the island’s traditional religious institutions themselves. The paper discusses the promises and potentials of conceptualising religion or religious identity and the relationships between religion and ethnicity within broader cultural and political fields, and their implications for the “new” (multicultural) Ireland.Not applicableti -TS 07.07.10

Dr. Sharon Feldman – Faculty Author Interview
No full textSharon Feldman, Professor of Spanish and Catalan Studies and Chair of the Department of Latin American and Iberian Studies discusses her new book, In the Eye of the Storm: Contemporary Theater in Barcelona. Barcelona is presently experiencing the most dynamic period in its modern theater history. This book describes some of the crucial moments and back stories, as well as some of the theatre companies and playwrights, that have shaped the theatrical life of the city of Barcelona in the aftermath of the Franco dictatorship
Microsatellite loci and the origin of modern humans: A Bayesian analysis
No full textMicrosatellite loci have recently been used to date the migration Out-of-Africa of early modern humans. In this paper, an extension of the stepwise model (Zhivotovsky and Feldman 1995) is used to build a Bayesian hierarchical model for microsatellite data sampled from African and non-African populations. The prior information induced by the assumptions contained in the stepwise model is exploited to obtain the estimate of the time since the migration Out-of-Africa. The results obtained using our Bayesian model suggest that the original African populations that eventually made up the other populations could have comprised about 20,000-50,000 individuals and of these less than 15% could have migrated Out-of-Africa. The event of divergence can be dated to 100,000-300,000 years ago
Please Don't Wish Me a Merry Christmas
No full textWhether in the form of Christmas trees in town squares or prayer in school, fierce disputes over the separation of church and state have long bedeviled this country. Both decried and celebrated, this principle is considered by many, for right or wrong, a defining aspect of American national identity. Nearly all discussions regarding the role of religion in American life build on two dominant assumptions: first, the separation of church and state is a constitutional principle that promotes democracy and equally protects the religious freedom of all Americans, especially religious outgroups; and second, this principle emerges as a uniquely American contribution to political theory. In Please Don't Wish Me a Merry Christmas, Stephen M. Feldman challenges both these assumptions. He argues that the separation of church and state primarily manifests and reinforces Christian domination in American society. Furthermore, Feldman reveals that the separation of church and state did not first arise in the United States. Rather, it has slowly evolved as a political and religious development through western history, beginning with the initial appearance of Christianity as it contentiously separated from Judaism.In tracing the historical roots of the separation of church and state within the Western world, Feldman begins with the Roman Empire and names Augustine as the first political theorist to suggest the idea. Feldman next examines how the roles of church and state variously merged and divided throughout history, during the Crusades, the Italian Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation, the British Civil War and Restoration, the early North American colonies, nineteenth-century America, and up to the present day. In challenging the dominant story of the separation of church and state, Feldman interprets the development of Christian social power vis--vis the state and religious minorities, particularly the prototypical religious outgroup, Jews

A model for the M/M/1 queue and its applications in communication networks
No full textTypescript (photocopy).In this work, a continuous differential equation model describing the evolution of the mean number in an M/M/1 queue has been developed. The validity of this approximation has been established by comparisons with work by Stern {23} and with the results of extensive simulation studies. In an effort to extend the model to the prediction of the behavior of a network of queues, such as found in a packet switched communication network, the technique was successfully applied to a series of queues in tandem. This approximation scheme was next applied to a simple network which incorporated alternate routes between the source and destination. The existance of alternate routes necessitated, of course, the use of a control mechanism for choosing which route to use for a particular customer. In view of recent trends towards control based on averages, it was decided to implement a scheme based on such. It was found that the model accurately predicted the behavior of the network under this form of control. Finally, the model was used to describe a general N node ring network with distributed control
