Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive resource for assessment practitioners, this book provides step-by-step guidance for developing, administering, scoring, and validating a range of performance tasks, including literacy and other types of proficiency assessments. The authors explore how to establish the purpose of the assessment and how to develop scoring tools, train raters, reduce rater bias, review scores and report results, and use item-level and test-level analyses to optimize reliability and validity. Clearly written and well organized, the book includes many practical ex

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a comprehensive survey of different kinds of Feistel ciphers, including their definition and mathematical/computational properties. Feistel Networks form the base design of the Data Encryption Standard algorithm, a former US NIST standard block cipher, originally released in 1977, and the framework used by several other symmetric ciphers ever since. The results consolidated in this volume provide an overview of this important cipher design to researchers and practitioners willing to understand the design and security analysis of Feistel ciphers.

Sommario/riassunto

This book creates a value proposition in geriatric care - a promise of value to be delivered to improve care and to provide specific benefits to



healthcare systems. It describes strategies and understanding of the incentives, barriers encountered in promoting changes in the healthcare systems, and discusses numerous examples and outcomes. Drawn from many fields such as medicine and science, sociology, politics, business and economics, the book helps guide the introduction of geriatric principles into mainstream medical care with the goal of improving the care and quality of life of older persons in all healthcare systems.
