' Tools for the trade ' : What makes GCSE marking reliable ?

The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority requires Awarding Bodies to use standardisation procedures (e.g. coordination meetings and providing exemplar scripts marked by the Principal Examiner (PE)) to make GCSE marking reliable. AQA and UCLES collaboratively researched these procedures. In the first experiment with English examiners, it was found that if they were given exemplar scripts at the centre of the marks associated with a level descriptor rather than exemplar scripts at the lowest marks for the level their marking was more severe. In the second experiment, with History examiners it was found that different styles of co-ordination meetings and whether a co-ordination meeting was held did not affect the inter-rater reliability of the marking. This paper reports on a survey of History examiners, which was undertaken after the second experiment. Questionnaires about aspects of standardisation were distributed to the examiners who took part in the experiment and 35 examiners responded. The data were quantitatively and qualitatively analysed. The survey shows that all aspects of standardisation are important, particularly the mark scheme and the co-ordination meeting. This is in contrast to the experimental results (above). Examiners value the opportunity in the co-ordination meeting to develop a 'community of assessment practice' and learn about the application of the mark scheme. The coordination meeting is useful as it gives examiners a feeling of being part of a team, boosts confidence and provides examiners with feedback. The literature review suggests that exemplar scripts and discussion between examiners is important in facilitating reliability. In the survey of History examiners reported here exemplar scripts and discussion between examiners were rated as useful as they facilitated the understanding and application of the mark scheme. The literature says that not everything can be written down and that some understanding of how to apply the mark scheme will remain tacit. But the History examiners surveyed here pointed out that the mark scheme and how it is written are important. They thought that exemplar scripts should be annotated and related to the levels in the mark scheme. The experiment in English illustrated that the way that the exemplar scripts are tied to the mark scheme affects the severity of marking. A principle of a community of practice is that practice is negotiated in a non-hierarchical manner so that there is shared understanding and ownership. Some examiners found hierarchical discussion useful, but others found non-hierarchical discussion useful.
Quality Attributes Of Sausage Substituted By Different Levels Of Whole

Production of comminuted meat products such as sausage is progressively increasing in Egypt. Amaranth plant grows rapidly, with a high tolerance to arid conditions and poor soils. So, a trial was made to use whole amaranth meal in producing sausage. The quality attributes of sausage produced from beef meat as main ingredients or substituted by different levels of whole amaranth meal were studied. Chemical composition, freshness tests, physicochemical evaluation, microbiological examinations were determined. The energy values for produced sausage were estimated. Texture properties were measured using the food texture Instron Universal Testing Machine (Model 4302) (Penetration test (PT) and Compression test (CT). Sensory evaluation for produced sausage was carried out and the data were statistically analyzed. Obtained results showed that using of whole amaranth meal increased total carbohydrate and ash but the other chemical composition were decreased in sausage. While there are changing in chemical composition, the nutritional values for all produced sausage were nearly the same. The TVN and TBA were increased with increasing storage time. The increase in TVN and TBA of substituted samples were lesser than control sample. In the same time TVN and TBA for all produce sausage samples were within the Egyptian standard requirements. Whole amaranth meal increased cooking yield and decreased frying and cooking loss. The microbiological quality of all produced sausage was within the Egyptian standard requirements. The sausage substituted with 5, 10 % of whole amaranth meal were accepted nearly as control sausage. Texture properties of sausage are affected by substitute levels of whole amaranth meal and storage period. The results indicated that whole amaranth meal can be utilized in making sausage. ----------
Estimation of crossbreeding parameters for egg production traits in crossing Golden Montazah with White Leghorn chickens

A crossbreeding experiment was executed between the local strain of Golden Montazah (GM) and a White Leghorn (WL) strain-breed. Data on 996 pullets from 79 sires and 441 dams were produced for five genetic groups (two purebreds and three crossbreds). Crossbreeding effects (direct additive effects, direct and maternal heterosis, and direct recombination) for age traits (ASM) and body weight (BWSM) at sexual maturity, weight of the first egg (WFE), egg number (EN90D) and egg mass (EM90D) during the first 90-days, total egg number (EN120D) and total egg mass (EM120D) during the 120days of laying, and rate of laying egg per day during 90 days (RL90D) and 120 days (RL120D) were estimated. Partial recording traits such as period (days) in which first ten eggs were laid (PF10E), egg mass for first ten eggs (EMF10E), egg number (EN2D/W) and egg mass (EM2D/W) for two days per week, egg number (EN1W/M) and egg mass (EM1W/M) for one week per month, as well as pause periods during 90 days (PP90D) and 120 days (PP120D) were also studied. Single-trait animal model analysis was used to analyze the data of egg production traits. Results showed that WL strain had superiority in most of the studied traits compared to GM, but GM strain had significantly heavier BWSM and WFE than WL. Averages of most of the traits studied in crossbreds were higher than purebreds. Percentages of direct additive effects were mostly positive (P<0.01) and ranged from -3.0 to 12.5%, -9.9 to 7.2% and -11.2 to -11.6% for traits of egg production, partial recording for egg production and pause periods of egg laying, respectively. Estimates of direct heterosis (H) and maternal heterosis (H) were positive and highly significant (P˂0.01) for most of the traits studied. Percentages of H and (H) were -2.8 and (-0.7), 14.5 and (-1.0), 4.6 and (2.4), 23.0 and (10.9), 29.2 and (10.7), 18.1 and (8.3), 21.7 and (9.1), 23.0 and (10.9) and 18.2% and (8.4%) for ASM, BWSM, WFE, EN90D, EM90D, EN210D, EM210D, RL90D and RL120D, respectively. Also, these percentages were -18.7 and (-6.6), 1.2 and (0.6), 6.0 and (8.7), 3.1 and (-2.0), 11.2 and (4.1) and 11.3% and (3.8%) for PF10E, EMF10E, EN2D/W, EM2D/W, EN1W/M and EM1W/M, respectively. While the percentages for pause periods were -18.0 and (-7.5) and -15.6% and (-7.0%) for PP90D and PP120D, respectively. This indicates that crossing between GM and WL are associated with existence of positive and high percentages of heterotic (direct and maternal) effects on all the egg production traits. On the bases of complementarity between GM (better in growth and WFE traits) and WL breed (better in most egg production traits), it is justify the interest of crossing GM http://www.lrrd. org/lrrd24/4/iraq24055.htm . 2 ) 201 4 ( 4 Research for Rural Development 2 Livestock strain with WL breed to produce the synthetic line named Benha line (B-line), which showed similar performances in egg production traits to the best purebred parent.

Performance of the network in a Cray XT 4 machine Hot spot analysis and optimization of the communications

New XT5 systems are the state-of-the-art Cray platforms. These are highly scalable machines: Jaguar, the most powerful Cray XT5 system to date, has 150,152 cores distributed into 18,769 network nodes. Timing inconsistencies have been detected on these machines while using certain applications. A hypothesis is that these inconsistencies are originated by its highly complex network. In other words, the network may start being the bottleneck for most of the programs if these are executed on big machines. Worst of all, the performance behaviour of such programs may start to be non-deterministic. This dissertation is a general study of the network in HECToR. Its main component is a Cray XT4 system, with a very similar network to that found in the newer XT5 machines. Some of the effects encountered in the latest XT5 systems have also been discovered and quantified on HECToR. These effects are expected to become a high priority problem as the size of the systems grow, and therefore they will be magnified in newer and highlyscalable machines. A general benchmarking of the network is followed by a more specific testing with micro benchmarks. These stages have shown specific situations where the timings are affected by the network operation, proving the initial hypothesis. Real codes have been used to prove that network performance is an issue in real situations. As a last step, a mechanism to optimize task placement has been tested as a means for the users to minimize the network impact on their codes. Although the performance of the tested codes has not improved with this mechanism, the data shows that optimization is possible by rearranging computing tasks into physical if the work decomposition inside the code is known in advance.

Tertiary bioreceptivity of schists from prehistoric rock art sites in the Côa Valley ( Portugal ) and Siega Verde ( Spain ) archaeological parks : E ff ects of cleaning treatments

Schist weathering induced by the presence of lichen is one of the main concerns in the Côa Valley (northeast Portugal) and Siega Verde (northwest Spain) Archaeological Parks. In this study, different types of lichens, including mainly crustose forms (Caloplaca pellodella, Candelariella vitellina, Circinaria hoffmanniana, Diploschistes actinostomus and Lecidea fuscoatra) as well as some foliose forms (Parmelina tiliacea and Xanthoparmelia conspersa), were removed from schistose samples of both lithotypes in different locations. The lichens were removed by treatment with Biotin T biocide or by laser treatment with the first (1064 nm, IR) and fourth (266 nm, UV) harmonics of a Nd:YAG laser. To assess the effects of the treatments, a recolonization experiment was carried out with biofilm-forming phototrophic microorganisms, and a bioreceptivity index (BI) was calculated for each lithotype and treatment. A water-based treatment (the removal method currently used in both parks) was used as a control cleaning treatment in the bioreceptivity experiment. The study findings show the importance of bioreceptivity studies for evaluating the effectiveness of cleaning treatments. Treatment of the schist samples with the chemical biocide significantly decreased the bioreceptivity (complete inhibition of biofilm formation), whereas laser treatments (especially IR laser) significantly increased the tertiary bioreceptivity. Moreover, the tertiary bioreceptivity of the schists depended on both the treatment applied and the nature of the substrate.
Design and Analysis of a PM Vernier Machine Considering the Effects of Flux Modulation and Core Losses

This study presents the effects of flux modulation in a PM vernier motor on its core flux density and core losses as well as the basic performance characteristics such as torque and power factor. The complicated flux densities of air gap, teeth and yokes due to modulation effects are analytically calculated with the accurate air gap harmonic permeance functions. By using the derived flux density equations, a PM vernier motor is designed to have a common level of yoke flux density. To verify the analytically predicted characteristics, the flux distributions and iron losses in core parts are analyzed through time-step FE simulations. The both numerically and analytically obtained results are compared, and also evaluated against those of a conventional PM motor.
OSINT by Crowdsourcing : A Theoretical Model for Online Child Abuse Investigations

For various reasons, the backlog of seized devices has increased to unparalleled levels, sometimes leading to years of delays in the trial process, even for online child abuse investigations. In addition to child abuse materials, the digital belongings of an abuser might contain small yet important pieces of information, such as nicknames, e-mails and place names. A thorough digital examination and an appropriate analysis of this set of information might reveal the exact locations or the real identities of criminal associates or victimized children. All these digital clues should be investigated properly through open sources, to identify the real identities of possible owners and discover whether their relationships with the suspect are crime-related. Considering the fact that thousands of such digital traces are present in all seized material for each separate investigation, a thorough examination of every piece of information related to a criminal case becomes a tremendously challenging issue for law enforcement agencies (LEAs). While the resources of LEAs are clearly insufficient, automated methods alone are not adequate to respond fully to current needs. In this regard, this article proposes a new and unorthodox way of handling the ever-growing workload of online child abuse investigators more effectively, by tapping into the energy of a carefully selected crowd of volunteers. After a brief literature review on related subjects, such as open source intelligence (OSINT) and crowdsourcing, in terms of their technical, legal and organizational aspects, the proposed theoretical model will be elaborated. Likely concerns and probable bottlenecks relating to the same respective aspects regarding successful actualization of the model will be identified and thoroughly discussed. ________________________________________________________________________
Training Effectiveness Evaluation of Lightweight Game-based Constructive Simulation

This research is a continuation and expansion of our previous analysis of the efficacy of lightweight, constructive, game-based simulation. While the U.S. Army continues to employ constructive and game-based simulation for training, minimal research has been conducted on the training efficacy of these classes of simulation. The Linguistic Geometry Real-time Adversarial Intelligence and Decision-making (LG-RAID) simulation is a lightweight, gamebased, constructive simulation that exploits novel game theory to create intelligent, predictive and tactically-correct Courses of Action (COAs) for exercise participants at the company echelon and below. The primary goal of this study remained unchanged; to examine the training effectiveness of the U.S. Army's LG-RAID simulation in an operationally relevant environment. Qualified Soldiers were randomly assigned to one of two training treatments (LG-RAID simulation or a traditional planning method) and tasked to develop, plan and brief a tactically sound operational mission in order to empirically assess the training effectiveness of LG-RAID. The independent variable was training treatment. Dependent variables included performance and individual survey responses. Experimentation was conducted on multiple occasions at Fort Benning, GA and performance was evaluated by accredited U.S. Army instructors. Results of this study continue to indicate that the LG-RAID simulation may be an effective training simulation.

The conference will be held from January 27th – January 29th, 2017. The BHL is a biannual international conference, initiated by Antje Muntendam (Florida State University) and M. Carmen Parafita Couto (Leiden University). The first BHL conference was held 14-16 January 2015 at Leiden University in the Netherlands. An edited volume with selected papers from the conference will appear in the Hispanic and Lusophone Linguistics Series by John Benjamins. We hope this second BHL conference provides opportunities to present and discuss new ideas and research directions in matters related to bilingualism in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking world. The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Hence, the BHL is dedicated to research in any area related to bilingualism, including theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, language contact, second language and bilingual acquisition, heritage languages, communication, education, and psycholinguistics. By bringing together researchers from different perspectives we are able to share new insights regarding methodology and get a better understanding of bilingualism.

Ozone Measurements Using the Refurbished Eureka Stratospheric Differential Absorption Lidar

Abstract The Stratospheric Ozone Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL) located at the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) in Eureka, Nunavut (80°N, 86°W) has been a powerful tool for the measurement of stratospheric ozone vertical profiles in the Canadian High Arctic since 1993. The lidar ozone profiles measured during the 2017 Canadian Arctic Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) and Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imaging System (OSIRIS) Validation Campaign were compared to coincident ozonesonde, ACE-FTS, ACE-MAESTRO and OSIRIS profiles. The results show the lidar overestimates the ozone by ∼10% in the 10 km–20 km altitude range on average in comparison with the ozonesonde. Above 20 km the profiles agree within 10%. The OSIRIS ozone agrees within 10% with DIAL ozone between 15 km and 41 km. A strong stratospheric ozone depletion event was seen on March 3, 2017, during which the ozone concentration dropped below 1012 molecules cm–3 at the 15.5 km and below 6 × 1012 molecules cm–3 at 16 km as measured by the ozonesonde and the lidar correspondingly. Laminated structures were observed in the ozonesonde profiles near the polar vortex edge regions. This together with non-optimal temporal and spatial coincidences between the measurements conducted by different instruments can affect validation accuracy.
A statistically-based classification of de facto exchange rate regimes

The paper offers a new de facto classification of the exchange rate regimes. The new algorithm for classifying regimes is presented and applied to advanced, emerging and developing economies in the period from 1995 to 2014. The well-known classifications were not constructed with the use of formal statistical tools except for the classification developed by Levy-Yeyati and Sturzenegger (2005). Following their approach, this paper employs several techniques of cluster analysis but with certain important differences including the separate treatment of financially open and financially closed economies. To classify the former group, the trimmed k means method is used, whereas the latter group is classified with the k-nearest neighbour method. Moreover, foreign exchange reserves and exchange rate are treated symmetrically, standardization of main variables captures changes in the international context, and the classification is a two-way classification and is more up-to-date. The comparison of our classification with three most common classifications reveals that there are differences between them stemming from the differences in methodology and period coverage. The simple measure of overall consistency for the most similar classification is well below 80% but above 60% for the least similar classification.
Model Checking Interactor Speci cations Jos

Recent accounts of accidents have drawn attention to problems that arise in safety critical systems through \automation surprises". A particular class of such surprises, interface mode changes, have signi cant impact on the safety of a dynamic interactive system and may take place implicitly as a result of other system action. Formal speci cations of interactive systems provide an opportunity to analyse problems that arise in such systems. In this paper we consider the role that an interactor based speci cation has as a partial model of an interactive system, so that mode consequences can be checked early in the design process. We show how interactor speci cations can be translated into the SMV model checker input language, and how we can use such speci cations in conjunction with the model checker to analyse potential for mode confusion in a realistic case. Our nal aim is to develop a general purpose methodology for the automated analysis of interactive systems, and, in this context, we show how the veri cation process can be useful in raising questions that have to be addressed in a broader context of analysis.
