James Mason PhD thesis supplementary information
No full textThe supplementary information is available through the DOI: 10.17632/4xt8v6mtys.1 on Mendeley Data. The repository contains the following folders: ECMWF wind data, OSCAR currents data, shoreline dataset, Python code, Blue Wasp SPP model, HPC input files global run, HPC input files North Atlantic run and HPC input files IMO comparison run.
The ECMWF wind data folder contains all the wind data used in the thesis. It has 2-degrees spatial resolution and is broken down into months from 01/2015 to 01/2019.
The OSCAR currents data folder contains one file that has all the currents data used in this thesis.
The Python code folder has the code that runs the voyage optimisation software. It contains the following files:
Main code – “ECMWFDataAccess_v11_main_MobaXterm.py”
Optimisation algorithms – “three_dimensional_optimisation_v1_MobaXterm.py”, “two_d_dynamic_programming.py”, “Dijkstra_forecast_heuristic_v2_MobaXterm.py”, “speed_optimisation_v3_MobaXterm.py”
Grid creation – “DP_grid_MobaXterm.py”, “DP_novel_grid.py”, “gcr_equation_calculation_MobaXterm.py”, “three_dimensional_DP_grid_MobaXterm.py”
Weather data upload – “weather_data_forecast_upload_MobaXterm.py”, “weather_data_file_upload_MobaXterm.py”
Post-processing files (e.g. route plotting) – “plot_all_routes.py”, “plot_multiple_routes.py”, “plot_multiple_routes_north_atlantic.py”
SPP integration – “ppp_input_MobaXterm.py”
Additional files ensure the running of the code e.g. through classes, definition of constants, or integrating the code with the HPC
The Blue Wasp SPP model folder contains all the ship performance prediction (SPP) data from Blue Wasps model. This is for both the wind-assisted ship and the reference ship with no wind propulsion. A flag file is also shown, which describes when the ship should speed up (shown by a 2) or slow down (shown by a 1).
The final three folders contain the text files that are uploaded to the High Performance Computer (HPC). These run the simulations in batches. Each file is one batch

His Majesty's advocate : Sir James Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713) and Covenanter resistance theory under the Restoration monarchy
No full textThis thesis is the first to explore the life and political thought of Sir James
Stewart of Goodtrees (1635-1713). The first part reviews the life of his father, Sir
James Stewart of Kirk field (1608-1681) to 1661, and Goodtrees' own life from birth
to his admission to the Scots bar in 1661. This provides the backdrop of history
necessary to appreciate his contributions as both writer and radical activist.
Particular attention focuses on the conflict between Charles I and Charles II, on the
one hand, and the Church of Scotland, on the other; the National Covenant (1638)
and the Solemn League and Covenant of(1643); the British wars of religion; and
the upheavals following the Restoration in the 1660s, culminating in the Pentland
Rising of 1666.
The next part develops Goodtrees' political philosophy from his two most
important writings. Chapter 3 reviews and interprets Naphtali (1667), a defence of
those who rose at Pentland. Chapter 4 reviews Andrew Honyman's Survey of
Naphtali (1668, 1669), a rebuttal of Naphtali and standard Anglican case for royal
absolutism. Chapter 5 reviews and interprets Goodtrees' Jus Populi Vindicatum, or
The People's Right, to defend themselves and their Covenanted Religion, vindicated
(1669), his rejoinder to Honyman. His Calvinist, covenantal constitutionalism is
shown to be an important link between earlier resistance theorists like John Knox
and Samuel Rutherford and the later Whigs, represented preeminently by John
Locke.
The third part (chapters 6-7) reviews Goodtrees' life and minor writings as radical critic of the Restoration monarchy; a participant in plots among British
exiles in Holland to overthrow it; a member briefly of James's Scottish government
before the Revolution; and lord advocate and churchman pursuing political, legal,
and ecclesiastical reforms afterwards
