title: Current techniques for measuring and modeling ATM traffic

authors: Pearson, Murray W.

subjects: computer science

abstract: ATM has now been widely accepted as the leading contender for the implementation of broadband communications networks (Brinkmann, Lavrijsen, Louis, et al, 1995) ATM networks are no longer restricted to research laboratories, and commercial products such as switches and interfaces manufactured by well known computer and communications companies have started to appear in the market place. The main advantage seen in ATM over other broadband networking technologies such as Synchronous Transfer Mode (STM) is its ability to transmit a wide variety of traffic types, including voice, data and video efficiently and seemlessly.

title: A 'third way' in industry training: New Zealand's adaptation of selected British policies

authors: Piercy, Gemma Louise

subjects: industrial relations

abstract: This article has three integrated purposes. It seeks to provide insights into some of the ways in which:
British policies and programmes historically and more recently have influenced New Zealand initiatives in industry training;
those policies and programmes have been adapted to meet the country’s particular circumstances; and

title: Insanity and ethnicity in New Zealand: Māori encounters with the Auckland Mental Hospital, 1860—1900

authors: Barry, Lorelle

subjects: cultural alienation

abstract: This article examines Māori patients at the Auckland Mental Hospital between 1860 and 1900. We argue that the patient case notes reveal ‘European’ categories in which Māori were situated, and demonstrate the extent to which the authorities at the hospital grappled with their appearance, their language and their culture, all of which were elements of their ethnicity. We argue that the use of institutional case records is highly suggestive of some of the historical meanings of insanity for Māori, including the lack of detailed or sustained collection of information about patients’ tribal affiliations, the interest shown in their rights to land in maintenance payment inquiries, the experiences of cultural alienation or mate Māori, and the sad outcomes for Māori.
