Dreaming of the Dragon’s Nation presents contemporary art from China as part of the China/Ireland Cultural Exchange, an inter-governmental project initiated and managed by the Chinese and Irish governments to promote cultural links between the two countries. The first part of this collaboration took place in Shanghai and Beijing and showcased works by Irish artists from the Museum’s permanent Collection. The second part of the collaboration, Dreaming of the Dragon’s Nation, presents a cross-section of contemporary art practice in China. The exhibition has been divided into five parts to include - contemporary ink and wash, oil painting, Oriental Metaphysics (Abstract Art of China), sculpture and installation, and photography and video art. Included in the exhibition is the work of up to 50 artists such as Liu Qinghe, Xiang Liqing, Sun Liang, Zhao Bandi and also Yang Fudong, who had a successful solo exhibition in the Douglas Hyde Gallery in 2003.

In this brief the authors establish a new frequency-sweeping framework to solve the complete stability problem for time-delay systems with commensurate delays. The text describes an analytic curve perspective which allows a deeper understanding of spectral properties focusing on the asymptotic behavior of the characteristic roots located on the imaginary axis as well as on properties invariant with respect to the delay parameters. This asymptotic behavior is shown to be related by another novel concept, the dual Puiseux series which helps make frequency-sweeping curves useful in the study of general time-delay systems. The comparison of Puiseux and dual Puiseux series leads to three important results: an explicit function of the number of unstable roots simplifying analysis and design of time-delay systems so that to some degree they may be dealt with as finite-dimensional systems; categorization of all time-delay systems into three types according to their ultimate stability properties; and a simple frequency-sweeping criterion allowing asymptotic behavior analysis of critical imaginary roots for all positive critical delays by observation. Academic researchers and graduate students interested in time-delay systems and practitioners working in a variety of fields – engineering, economics and the life sciences involving transfer of materials, energy or information which are inherently non-instantaneous, will find the results presented here useful in tackling some of the complicated problems posed by delays.
