No full textJoyce was educated at Pine Creek Primary, Darwin High School and Adelaide teachers' College graduating with a Diploma of home Science in 1961and a Teacher's Certificate from the South Australian education Department in 1962. She was the first Home Science Teacher at Darwin High School in 1964; the first full time female teacher appointed to adult education in the NT in 1970 and continued employment through the Darwin Community College, The Darwin Institute of Technology and finally the Northern Territory University as Associate Dean of the School of Fashion and Library Studies.
When Joyce retired, she was the longest serving staff member, spanning a career of over 30 years and introduced the first award course in Fashion, upgrading the qualification to Diploma level so graduates could establish businesses in the Clothing Industry. Joyce worked tirelessly to establish the Northern Territory Fashion Awards as a platform for designers to show their work.
Initially, Joyce was responsible fro courses and activities for Women and helped establish Child Minding facilities so mothers could attend day classes. Se was also introduced Certificate Cookery courses for hospital kitchen staff and prisoners, enabling them to qualify and improve career opportunities. She taught sewing to female prisoners. In 1996, Joyce was a finalist in the Telstra Business Women's Awards in recognition of her capable administration and management as an Associate Dean.
As a Fashion Designer, Joyce won countless Fashion awards. One of her garments was acquired by the Crafts Board of Australia for their National Collection. Officials and ambassadors for the Inaugural Masters Games walked out I Joyce's designed outfits. The Northern Territory University Valedictory Stoles and Graduation Stoles were designed by Joyce.
Joyce's community involvement includes: judging dressmaking, needlework, millinery at the Royal Darwin Shows; judging the National Miss Showgirl Quest; judge of the Northern Territory Awards. Se was also a consultant/adviser to Consumer Affairs and was on the National Clothing Curriculum team. In 2004 Joyce was recognised in the Tribute to Northern Territory Women for her significant contribution to the economic, social and cultural life of the Northern Territory.EducatorAdminstratorFashion Desinge
Modelling of Restriking and Reignition Phenomena in Three-phase Capacitor and Shunt Reactor Switching
No full textCapacitor banks and shunt reactors are frequently\ud
switched by circuit-breakers in medium voltage (MV)\ud
and high voltage (HV) electricity networks. In recent\ud
years there have been explosive failures due to circuitbreaker\ud
restriking and reignition consequently there is a\ud
need for monitoring techniques that will facilitate the\ud
identification and quantification of the onset of more\ud
severe restriking. Whilst there has been detailed analyses\ud
of single-phase shunt reactor and capacitor bank\ud
switching there is a paucity of information about\ud
restriking phenomena and reignition in three-phase\ud
circuits for the correlation of system problems with\ud
specific waveform characteristics to develop the\ud
necessary identification algorithms for proactive\ud
monitoring of circuit-breakers’ condition. This paper\ud
describes the modelling restriking and reignition\ud
occurring during three-phase capacitor bank and shunt\ud
reactor switching using the Alternative Transients\ud
Program (ATP) and network data from AS 4372-1996.\ud
Information from the ATP models and data resulting\ud
from the simulations are examined with a view to\ud
developing an intelligent diagnostic system with logging\ud
and alarm features. This modelling method can be easily\ud
applied with different data from the different dielectric\ud
curves, circuit breakers and networks

Fantasizing Chinese/Indonesian Hero: Njoo Cheong Seng and the Gagaklodra Series
No full textFantasizing Chinese/ Indonesian Hero : Njoo Cheong Seng and the gagaklodra Series.
This article examines the popular fantasy series, Gagaklodra, created by Njoo Cheong Seng in the late period of colonial Indonesia. As one of the earliest original works of crime and detective genre in Indonesia, conceived by an exceptionally cosmopolitan author of Chinese heritage, the Gagaklodra series is remarkably hybrid in terms of concept and content. It takes after both indigenous folklore and European cloak-and-dagger stories, anchored by a Javanese-Chinese protagonist. Written over the span of twenty-two years and three political regimes, the episodes of Gagaklodra not only capture the rapidly changing historical landscape between the 1930s and the 1940s, but also communicate a more inclusive outlook with regard to national belonging for the nation that was about to be born.Fantasmer le héros chinois/ indonésien : Njoo Cheong Seng et la série gagaklodra.
Cet article examine la série fantastique populaire intitulée Gagaklodra créée par Njoo Cheong Seng en Indonésie vers la fin de la période coloniale. Figurant parmi les premiers textes originaux du genre policier en Indonésie, conçue par un auteur héritier de culture chinoise exceptionnellement cosmopolite, la série Gagaklodra présente un caractère hybride remarquable en termes de concept et de contenu. Elle emprunte à la fois au folklore autochtone et aux histoires de cape et d’épée européennes, incarnée par un protagoniste javano-chinois. Écrits en l’espace de vingt-deux ans durant lesquels vont se succéder trois régimes politiques, les épisodes de Gagaklodra rendent non seulement compte du changement rapide du paysage politique entre les années 1930 et les années 1940, mais révèlent aussi une perspective plus globale au regard de l’appartenance nationale pour une nation en gestation.Chandra Elizabeth.

Computing many faces in arrangements of lines and segments
No full textWe present randomized algorithms for computing many faces in an arrangement of lines or of segments in the plane, which are considerably simpler and slightly faster than the previously known ones. pn The main new idea is a simple randomized O(n log n) expected time algorithm for computing root n cells in an arrangement of n lines.A part of this work was done while the first and third authors were visiting Charles University and while the first author was visiting Utrecht University.

Range searching in low-density environments
No full textWe define a set of arbitrarily-shaped objects in R(d) to be a low-density environment if any axis-parallel hypercube intersects only few objects of comparable or larger size. Generalizing and simplifying previous results for fat objects, we present a data structure for point location in a low-density environment, and we show how this data structure can be extended to perform range search queries with query ranges of size comparable to the smallest object.This research was partially supported by ESPRIT Basic Research Action No. 6546 (project PROMotion) and by the Netherlands' Organization for Scientific Research (NWO).

Separating and shattering long line segments
No full textA line l is called a separator for a set S of objects in the plane if l avoids all the objects and partitions S into two non-empty subsets, lying on both sides of l. A set L of Lines is said to shatter S if each line of L is a separator for S, and every two objects of S are separated by at least one line of L. We give a simple randomized algorithm to construct the set of ail separators for a given set S of n line segments in expected time O(n log n), provided the ratio between the diameter of S and the length of the shortest line segment is bounded by a constant. We also give a randomized algorithm to determine a set of lines shattering S, whose expected running time is O(n log n), improving (for this setting) the (deterministic) O(n(2) log n) time algorithm of Freimer, Mitchell and Piatko.

Assessing User Attitudes Toward Mobile Commerce In The U.S. Vs. Korea: Implications For M-Commerce CRM
No full textMobile Commerce (m-commerce) relies on “customer or user interactions” via a mobile device and telecommunications infrastructure for the purpose of interacting, advertising, promoting, and selling products and services. The author of this study explored user attitudes and behavior toward m-commerce in the U.S. vs. Korea. In this paper, the author investigated comparison analysis for the U.S. vs. Korea for the following issues: 1) the factors affecting user attitudes toward mobile phone business; 2) how those factors affect perceived ease of use (EOU) and usefulness (U); 3) the effects of perceived ease of use (EOU) and usefulness (U) on overall attitudes toward the mobile phone business; and 4) how overall attitudes toward mobile phone business affect user/customer satisfaction. Surveys were conducted in two countries and the results reveal the different aspects affecting mobile phone usage in the U.S. vs. Korea. This study also found that user attitudes toward the mobile phone business significantly impact the level of m-satisfaction. Furthermore, this study provides managerial implications and offers suggestions to m-businesses.1
