Students in this program take up to 24 credit hours of engineering courses. Using the facilities and resources, the partnership will enhance some of the courses with concepts and technologies relevant to space sciences and space exploration. At this time Engineering Physics Majors have a choice to take as their engineering requirement Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering Courses. We are proposing to add research/project based courses that are tied to NASA research. The courses include design of space vehicles, strength of materials under extreme environments (temperature, microgravity). These courses provide the collaborative field for GBP-RESES members where these students will have access to the best facilities and minds in the field. During the first year of funding , the courses will be identified and implemented.

Extractions: UJNR Fire Research and Safety News No.1, December 1998 CONTENTS Background Activities to Date Summary of Results to Date Resolutions of 14th Joint Panel Meeting ... Development of Fire-Safety Performance Evaluation Testing Techniques Background T he US-Japan Cooperative Program in Natural Resources (UJNR) came out of a proposal offered by the United States during the third meeting of the Bilateral Committee on Trade and Economic Affairs in January 1964 for "government-level exchanges of technology specialists and research results in the area of human and natural resources that would benefit both countries." It held its first meeting in May, 1964 for the avowed purpose of "utilizing cooperation between Japan and the United States so that both countries can learn from each other to the maximum extent possible means of effectively utilizing and conserving the world's natural resources and solving problems in human housing environments." T oday the UJNR consists of eighteen "panels." Those under the Ministry of Construction deal with: "Fire Research and Safety," "Wind and Seismic Effects," and "Earthquake Research." T he Fire Research and Safety Panel was established by the Eighth Administrative Meeting of the UJNR in November ,1975 and held its first bilateral meeting in Washington DC in May, 1976. It is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Construction, and its secretariat is located in the Building Research Institute. The chairman of the Building Research Institute serves as the panel chairman on the Japanese side. Similarly, the National Institute of Standards and Technology is the lead organization f or the United States, and the Manager of the Fire Research Program at NIST serves as the chairman of the U.S. side.

Emsiprosp To encourage the setting up of collaborative projects with a European dimension, A brief (1 paragraph) summary of the activities of the group, http://www.emsi.fzk.de/prospectus.html
Extractions: European Multiphase Systems Institute 1. BACKGROUND European collaboration and information exchange is epitomised by the European Two-Phase Group which held its 38 th Annual Meeting in Karlsruhe on May 29 th st 2000. The most important characteristic of this group is its informality and lack of bureaucracy. However, there had been a growing realisation that it would be helpful to form a more structured entity, particularly in the pro-active pursuit of joint research programmes. Thus, at the ETPG Meeting in Karlsruhe, it was unanimously agreed by all present that a new "virtual" Institute be formed, and the name chosen was the EUROPEAN MULTIPHASE SYSTEMS INSTITUTE (EMSI). The objectives of EMSI would be broadly as follows: To promote, through research, discussion and scholarship, an understanding of multiphase systems for a range of applications. To encourage the setting up of collaborative projects with a European dimension, with strong ties through the European Community. The emphasis for EMSI would be strongly on fundamental aspects of multiphase systems, the aim being to provide a sounder basis for prediction in practical applications.

Extractions: Following 1995, research on the Space Shuttle continued to thrive. The period leading up to the first assembly flights for the ISS saw the continuation of many collaborative projects, with both commercial partners and other government agencies. Four additional payloads in the National Institutes of Health Cells series and two in the National Institutes of Health Rodents series were flown. NASA and its collaborative partners continued to develop new hardware, including a nursing facility for neonate rats. Additional Spacelab missions incorporating life science experiments were flown in 1996 and 1998. The first, Life and Microgravity Spacelab, also included experiments in materials, combustion, and other microgravity sciences. The second, Neurolab, was dedicated entirely to space neuroscience. The NASA/Mir program also provided opportunities for research on the Shuttle. Along with ferrying American experiments to and from the station, the Shuttle carried a European Space Agency (ESA) Biorack on the docking missions, which allowed for short-term research to be conducted during the flights. A variety of microbiology, cell and molecular, and plant biology experiments were performed, with the opportunity for repeated flights of the experiments to expand data sets. However, not all future Shuttle flights will be Utilization Flights. The STS-93 mission, in 1999, to deploy the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, will also carry a new collaborative life sciences payload, National Institutes of Health Biology 1 (NIH.B1), which will study the effects of space flight on neural development in Drosophila (fruit flies). STS-107, scheduled for late 2000, will carry a SPACEHAB module and many life sciences experiments. Experiments currently planned for the mission will use the Aquatic Research Facility, Animal Enclosure Modules, a Cell Culture Module, BRIC hardware, and the Biopack, an ESA hardware item to be used in a microbiology study.

It is constant, and in one way or another, gravity affects every living system on Earth, every system of the body, and all the physical and chemical processes that surround us. These are the fundamental processes that will be the focus of long-duration research aboard International Space Station (ISS). Engineers, scientists and astronauts from sixteen nations around the world have been busy preparing for the launch of the first modules that will make up the ISS. International Space Station: Countdown to Launch is an unprecedented opportunity for students and teachers to get an update on the progress of the Space Station program, and speak directly to the experts who are making it a reality. The station is designed to capitalize on the unique characteristics of its location: the virtual absence of gravity’s affects and the extreme vacuum of space. Yet the ISS is much more than just a world-class laboratory in a novel environment; it is an international human experiment an exciting "city in space" a place where we will learn how to live and work "off planet" alongside our international partners.
