Since the mid-80s several laboratories around the world have been developing techniques for the operational use of tests derived from item-generation. According to the experts, the major thrust of test development in the next decade will be the harnessing of item generation technology to the production of computer developed tests. This is expected to revolutionize the way in which tests are constructed and delivered. This book is a compilation of the papers presented at a symposium held at ETS in Princeton, attended by the world’s foremost experts in item-generation theory and practice.

Evidence-Based Gastroenterology provides a synthesis of evidence-based literature from the field of gastroenterology. Written by an international panel of world-renowned experts, it highlights the most important clinical issues currently facing gastroenterologists. The authors illustrate how they systematically assembled and critically assessed the evidence pertaining to a specific disease. They show how to apply that evidence to problem solving in daily clinical practice. Supporting evidence is graded using a three-point scale and then further divided into five subcategories. This grading met

The conceptualization of a problem (modeling) and the computational solution of this problem (simulation), is the foundation of Computational Science. This coupled endeavor is unique in several respects. It allows practically any complex system to be analyzed with predictive capability by invoking the multiscale paradigm linking unit-process models at lower length (or time) scales where fundamental principles have been established to calculations at the system level. The community of multiscale materials modeling has evolved into a multidisciplinary group with a number of identified problem

The year is 2011 and Samuel Elmsmore is adrift in the universe. After a series of breakdowns he awakens as a virtual prisoner in a hostel for the mentally ill. HeÂ’s estranged from his family and friends, and is jobless after an unfortunate incident with an axe. HeÂ’s also lost much of his memory and sense of identity and is about to learn that the government is monitoring him as a suspected terrorist. As he wanders the streets of a vast metropolis, the ghouls of his past start to merge with the nightmare creatures of a society turned predatory. He encounters a surreal band of activis

Communal strife in Northern Ireland forced itself on the attention of Great Britain and the rest of the world twenty years ago, and has been a matter for continuing concern ever since. Conflict based on confessional differences was once commonplace in Europe, and it still survives in Ireland. Why this should still be so, (a source of incomprehension, bewilderment and exasperation to most outside observers) the author attempts to explain. He traces the development of Ulster society since its origin in the plantations of the 17th century to the present time. Most emphasis is given to its evoluti
