The Routledge Handbook of Language Testing

The Routledge Handbook of Language Testing

This second edition of The Routledge Handbook of Language Testing provides an updated and comprehensive account of the area of language testing and assessment. The volume brings together 35 authoritative articles divided into ten sections written by 51 leading specialists from around the world. There are five entirely new chapters covering the four skills: reading writing listening and speaking as well as a new entry on corpus linguistics and language testing. The remaining 30 chapters have been revised often extensively or entirely rewritten with new authorship teams at the helm reflecting new generations of expertise in the field. With a dedicated section on technology in language testing reflecting current trends in the field the Handbook also includes an extended epilogue written by Harding and Fulcher contemplating what has changed between the first and second editions and charting a trajectory for the field of language testing and assessment. Providing a basis for discussion project work and the design of both language tests themselves and related validation research this Handbook represents an invaluable resource for students researchers and practitioners working in language testing and assessment and the wider field of language education.

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories. Compiled by the Soil and Plant Analysis Council this latest edition of Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods also addresses the major methods for managing plant nutrition currently in use in the United States and other parts of the world. For soil scientists farmers growers or anyone with an interest in the environment this reference will prove an invaluable guide to standard methods for soil testing well into the future. Features

Chemoprophylaxis and Virus Infections of the Respiratory Tract Volume 2

Chemoprophylaxis and Virus Infections of the Respiratory Tract Volume 2

Originally it was our intention to produce a single-volume book covering all aspects and approaches to the problem of specific inhibitors of respiratory viruses. However as the work progressed it became obvious that certain chapters because of the research interests of the authors concentrated particularly on influenza viruses. It seemed logical therefore to divide the book into two volumes the first emphasizing influenza and the second concentrating on other viruses as well as discussing important general aspects of drug screening and clinical testing although the second volume does have some chapters which deal mainly with influenza. | Chemoprophylaxis and Virus Infections of the Respiratory Tract Volume 2

Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities An Atlas

Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities An Atlas

The screech of rubber against asphalt. And then the crash: a violent two-car collision resulting in a twisted mass of metal plastic and glass-and worse the deaths of both drivers. Accident reconstruction is but one phase of road traffic fatality (RTF) cases. Even as police officers draw their last diagram interview their last witness and reconstruct their final scenario a different team of investigators works diligently on solving another puzzle: determining how the victims actually died. Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities: An Atlas covers the issues that face medical examiners and coroners in determining the nature and extent of RTF injuries as well as the cause manner and circumstances of death. Also ideal for medicolegal death investigators and law enforcement personnel who work with medical examiners and coroners during RTF investigations this Atlas covers everything from Typical road traffic fatality injuries to Injuries caused by safety/restraint devices and Autopsy and toxicology testing. For anyone involved in RTF probes Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities: An Atlas is essential reading. | Investigation of Road Traffic Fatalities An Atlas
