“Lost Boys Found” is an ongoing, interdisciplinary project that is collecting, recording and archiving the oral histories of the Lost Boys/Girls of Sudan. The collection is a work-in-progress, seeking to record the oral history of as many Lost Boys/Girls as are willing, and will be used in a future book.Age: 24Region: Bahr al GhazalThis picture and bio was donated to the "Lost Boys Found" oral history project from The Arizona Lost Boys Cente

No full textPhillip Herring (1936- ) is a scholar and biographer, who taught English at the University of Wisconsin at Madison for over twenty five years. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he was awarded a Ph.D. in 1966, and later worked at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. Herring is the author of Joyce's Uncertainty Principle (1987), Djuna: the Life and Work of Djuna Barnes (1995), and is the co-editor of Djuna Barnes's Collected Poems: With Notes Towards the Memoirs (2005). His papers consist of correspondence, photographs, and other materials accumulated during the writing of his Barnes biography. Subjects include Djuna Barnes, her family and friends, and locations relating to Barnes's life
Developing an Enhanced Virtual Reality Simulation Capability for the Coal Mining Industry
No full textThe CSPL Project “Developing an Enhanced Virtual Reality Simulation Capability for the Coal Mining Industry” was proposed in 2005 as a three-year project concerned with the continued development and implementation of an enhanced capability in virtual reality (VR) simulation for improving OH&S management and performance in the Australian Coal Mining Sector. CSPL had developed and implemented proof of concept simulations prior to commencement of the project based on ‘off the shelf’ PC technology as identified by Stothard et al (2001).Under the earlier projects, a core capability in VR simulation had been established and was clearly demonstrated. This capability provided a foundation for developing and expanding the project to a more advanced suite of simulations. However, the technology from the previous project required updating to take advantage of the rapidly changing simulation technology and to make the simulations more realistic and meaningful. From the outset of this project, the aim was to enhance at least two of the existing simulations and develop several new simulations in line with the findings and recommendations of Stothard and Galvin(2005) where the researchers concluded that simulation technology had advanced significantly since theoriginal Scoping Study of Stothard et al (2001) and that high powered, cost effective technology, was available to simulate complex mining simulations associated with coal mining. The enhanced VR project proposed that two of the original modules – Rib and Roof Stability and Unaided Self Escape should be enhanced because they offered important OH&S benefits and because they offered a platform on which to base new simulations. It was envisaged that 80% of the equipment and models already built and deployed at Newcastle Mines Rescue Station (NMRS) and the School of Mining Engineering at UNSW (UNSW) could be migrated to the advanced system. The project had a total budget of 250000 to produce more content. Core project aims were to, Build and maintain an internal module building capability, Use off the shelf software and hardware, Produce photo-realistic simulations Have in place a sustainable commercial footing for the long term development of immersive, interactive simulations at the end of the project (or be very close to achieving this).The benefits of VR simulation are described in earlier VR simulation projects funded by Coal Services that have demonstrated that immersive, interactive VR simulations provide for more effective education, training and assessment in OH&S (Fowler et al 2005).The project aims were to immerse trainees in a multitude of realistic mining environments and engage the trainees during the simulation session. The interaction with the simulations and the ‘scenarios’ would be drawn from the core competencies for mine workers. This report reviews the progress made during the three year project and presents data acquired during that period and also a business case for the continuation of the project longer ter
Development of a serious computer game based training module and its integration into working at heights mine site induction - Paper II
No full textThis paper reports the findings of a collaborative project that developed and demonstrated a serious computer game (SCG) based simulation training module for mine site inductions. It is the second of two papers. The project was collaboration between the University of New South Wales, the University of Adelaide, BHP Billiton Olympic Dam Expansion, Resources and Engineering Skills Alliance, Training and Further Education South Australia and SkillsDMC. The pilot project was aimed at improving mine site inductions by developing a prototype SCG for trainers to incorporate into their regular training activities. The outcome was a high quality generic SCG that provides an interactive visualisation of an Australian mine site operation under construction. The SCG was tested under controlled conditions and subsequently deployed on site.P. Stothard and A. van den Henge
Feasibility Study: Development and Demonstration of Virtual Reality Simulation Training for the BHPB Olympic Dam Site Inductions
No full textThis report presents the findings of the project ―Feasibility Study: Development and Demonstration of Virtual Reality Simulation Training for the BHPB Olympic Dam Site Inductions.‖ The project was a collaborative exercise between the University of New South Wales (UNSW) - School of Mining Engineering, the University of Adelaide - Australian Centre for Visual Technologies, BHPB Olympic Dam Expansion, RESA, TAFESA and Skills DMC. The project Chief Investigators were Dr Phillip Stothard (UNSW) and Prof Anton van den Hengel (University of Adelaide).The project was a pilot study research project that looked into the feasibility of developing interactive virtual reality simulations for mine site inductions in the hard rock industry. Many simulations have been successfully implemented into the coal industry and the aim was to build a pilot module that looked at a high risk environment on a surface mine that would also have application to the wider construction industry and other heavy industries. The project collaborators came together as a group of parties interested in virtual reality simulation. The research and development was led by UNSW and University of Adelaide. Invaluable input was provided by the collaborators. The project had a value of 208,563 was in cash and $222,743 was in kind. The budget was fully expended during the course of the project. The subject area of the project was ̳Working at Heights‘ and this was chosen because it is a high risk area. Substantial documentation, mining industry input and effort was placed on building the five sub-modules that form the Working at Heights module. The outcome is a high quality visualisation of an area of the Olympic Dam Mine Site. This high quality visualisation is enhanced by the inclusion of interaction within the module that requires the user to interrogate data within the site and to assess and understand issues that arise when working at heights in relation ladders, scaffolding, open excavations and elevated work platforms. Much project emphasis and time was placed on producing the 3D model. Also, as much information as possible was placed into the module itself as this was to be a pilot example to show to the Olympic Dam Expansion Project Team. The module allows users to interact with Safety Documentation and equipment and procedures that they would encounter on sit
