Currency Unions and Irish External Trade

Nutritional Requirements for Space Station Freedom Crews
The purpose of this report was to set preliminary nutritional requirements for crewmembers flying from 90 to 180 day missions on Space Station Freedom. Specific recommendations included providing crewmembers with in flight feedback on nutritional intake, weight and strength, and incorporating issues of energy intake, body weight, body composition, strength, and protein intake in the flight medicine program. Exercise must be considered an integral part of any plan to maintain nutritional status, especially those modes that stress the skeleton and maintain body weight. Nutrient intake, amount of exercise, and drugs ingested must be recorded daily; high priority should be given to development of fully automated record systems that minimize astronauts' effort. A system of nutritional supplements should be developed to provide a method for reducing intake deficits that become apparent. Finally, post flight monitoring should include bone density, muscle mass and function, and iron status at three and six months after landing
Instructional Partnerships:TeamTeaching Global Politics and the Web
Since its beginnings in the 1960s, the bibliographic instruction program
at Earlham College has facilitated strong instructional partnerships
between teaching faculty and librarians. Given the growth in information
sources available via the Internet, these partnerships now extend beyond the
realm of traditional library instruction. One example of how this has evolved
at Earlham is the two-year partnership of these authors, who have been part
of a team that teaches political science students to create World Wide Web
(WWW) pages reflecting topical research and analysis. Successful instructional
partnerships are critical to the success of this endeavor.
This article describes and evaluates how an assignment that uses the
WWW to research and present a global problem was team-taught during the
spring 1997 semester, paying particular attention to the instructional partnerships,
and their advantages and problems. Reasons for the success of the
team teaching methods are discussed
