  • A Revitalization Study of the Irish Language
    TAKING THE IRISH PULSE: A REVITALIZATION STUDY OF THE IRISH LANGUAGE Donna Cheryl Roloff Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2015 APPROVED: John Robert Ross, Committee Chair Kalaivahni Muthiah, Committee Member Willem de Reuse, Committee Member Patricia Cukor-Avila, Director of the Linguistics Program Greg Jones, Interim Dean of College of Information Costas Tsatsoulis, Interim Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Roloff, Donna Cheryl. Taking the Irish Pulse: A Revitalization Study of the Irish Language. Master of Arts (Linguistics), December 2015, 60 pp., 22 tables, 3 figures, references, 120 titles. This thesis argues that Irish can and should be revitalized. Conducted as an observational case study, this thesis focuses on interviews with 72 participants during the summer of 2013. All participants live in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. This thesis investigates what has caused the Irish language to lose power and prestige over the centuries, and which Irish language revitalization efforts have been successful. Findings show that although, all-Irish schools have had a substantial growth rate since 1972, when the schools were founded, the majority of Irish students still get their education through English- medium schools. This study concludes that Irish will survive and grow in the numbers of fluent Irish speakers; however, the government will need to further support the growth of the all-Irish schools. In conclusion, the Irish communities must take control of the promotion of the Irish language, and intergenerational transmission must take place between parents and their children.

K¨arn¨a Aalto University School of Electrical A'' Engineering aalto university abstract of the school of electrical engineering master’s thesis Author: Erno Pentzin Title: Protecting an Industrial AC Drive Application against Cyber Sabotage Date: 2013-01-28 Language: English Numberofpages:15+119 Department of Electrical Engineering Professorship: Electric Drives Code: S3016 Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Marko Hinkkanen Instructor: M.Sc. (Tech.) Mika J. K¨arn¨a Discovered in 2010, the highly advanced computer virus called Stuxnet, also de- scribed as the first weapon of cyber warfare, reportedly destroyed at least 1,000 gas centrifuges enriching uranium in Iran. This kind of act of cyber sabotage was conducted by compromising the industrial control system, disabling protection functions of AC drives running the centrifuges, and making them spin at such high speeds that centrifugal forces caused their rotors to rupture. Decanters are another type of centrifuges used to separate solids from liquids in many industries including water treatment and mining for example. Also known as solid-bowl, scroll-discharge centrifuges, decanters are commonly powered by induction motors and AC drives. Assuming havoc similar to the Stuxnet case can be prevented with suitable safety systems, a review was conducted on the protection methods for decanter centrifuges based on literature and the current security and safety features of the following modern AC drives with Ethernet- based fieldbus connectivity: ABB ACS880-01, Rockwell Allen-Bradley PowerFlex 755, and Siemens SINAMICS S110.
