Computer program for calculation of oxygen uptake

A description and operational precedures are presented for a computer program, written in Super Basic, that calculates oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production, and related ventilation parameters. Program features include: (1) the option of entering slope and intercept values of calibration curves for the O2 and CO2 and analyzers; (2) calculation of expired water vapor pressure; and (3) the option of entering inspured O2 and CO2 concentrations. The program is easily adaptable for programmable laboratory calculators

Light airplane crash tests at three roll angles

Three similar twin engine general aviation airplanes were crash tested at the Langley impact dynamics research facility at 27 m/sec and at nominal roll angles of 0 deg, -15 deg, and -30 deg. Other flight parameters were held constant. The test facility, instrumentation, test specimens, and test method are briefly described. Structural damage and accelerometer data for each of the three impact conditions are presented and discussed

Light airplane crash tests at three flight-path angles

Three similar twin engine general aviation airplane specimens were crash tested at Langley impact dynamics research facility at 27 m/sec and at flight-path angles of -15 deg, -30 deg, and -45 deg. Other flight parameters were held constant. The test facility, instrumentation, test specimens, and test method are briefly described. Structural damage and accelerometer data for each of the three impact conditions are presented and discussed

Teacher Education and Leadership for Change: Exploring Faculty Perspectives

Given the call for newer forms of leadership in schools, teacher educators have a central role to play in promoting, modeling, and critiquing leadership for change. This study explored the thinking of a group of teacher educators in one Canadian context to gain some insight into their views of educational leadership and the extent to which these promote or constrain leadership for change. Findings revealed some diversity in faculty views about leadership, but also illustrated that traditional views remain deeply embedded in teacher educators' thinking.Les revendications visant de nouvelles formes de direction au sein des écoles assignent aux enseignants un rôle central dans la favorisation, le modelage et la critique de nouvelles orientations en leadership. Cette étude s'est penchée sur les idées d'un groupe déformateurs d'enseignants couvrant dans un contexte canadien dans le but d'en ressortir un aperçu de leurs avis du leadership pédagogique et de déterminer dans quelle mesure ces points de vue font avancent ou limitent révolution des nouvelles formes de direction. II en ressort une certaine diversité d'opinions au sujet du leadership. Les résultats indiquent également que les idées des formateurs d’enseignants demeurent fortement empreintes de points de vue traditionnels

Meeting in the middle: Fred L. Casmir\u27s contributions to the field of intercultural communication

Fred Casmir\u27s third culture building (TCB) framework made a major theoretical contribution to communication studies. Casmir conceptualized the framework as an active process whereby different cultural groups come together to form a third culture between them. The third culture then becomes a common ground for all participants; a cognitive space that incorporates elements of both cultures and yet remains separate and distinct. Third culture building is a departure from adoption (the process of taking on the cultural mores of another) or adaptation (modifying one\u27s cultural mores to better fit those of another), and achieved through deliberate development in an extended process, during which all participants gain an understanding of, and appreciation for, one another. In this essay, the authors review the life and work of Fred Casmir – a leading figure in establishing intercultural communication as a specific area of study. Next the authors discuss the ideological foundations, intended use, key applications and heuristic value of Casmir\u27s third culture building framework
