This standard can be used to request and receive the results of testing programs by educational institutions and employers. This information includes one test- taker's identification, test identification, testing conditions, scoring results, and test normalization analysis including national, regional, and local norms. Although TS 138 can accommodate the request for and transmission of various testing results—ACT, SAT, GRE, and GMAT, for example—this particular implementation guide can be used for sending TOEFL testing results only. The Segment Summary contains all the segments in the X12 transaction set, but only those segments marked with “*” are used in reporting TOEFL test results. The subset of segment and data element details contained in this implementation guide accommodate all requirements to report TOEFL testing results.

THE OPILIONID FAMILY CADDIDAE IN NORTH AMERICA, WITH NOTES ON SPECIES FROM OTHER REGION S (OPILIONES, PALPATORES, CADDOIDEA ) William A . Shear Biology Departmen t Hampden-Sydney, College Hampden-Sydney, Virginia 23943 ABSTRACT Species belonging to the opilionid genera Caddo, Acropsopilio, Austropsopilio and Cadella are herein considered to constitute the family Caddidae . The subfamily Caddinae contains the genu s Caddo ; the other genera are placed in the subfamily Acropsopilioninae. It is suggested that the palpatorid Opiliones be grouped in three superfamilies : Caddoidea (including the family Caddidae) , Phalangioidea (including the families Phalangiidae, Liobunidae, Neopilionidae and Sclerosomatidae ) and Troguloidea (including the families Trogulidae, Nemostomatidae, Ischyropsalidae an d Sabaconidae). North American members of the Caddidae are discussed in detail, and a new species , Caddo pepperella, is described . The North American caddids appear to be mostly parthenogenetic, an d C. pepperella is very likely a neotenic isolate of C. agilis. Illustrations and taxonomic notes ar e provided for the majority of the exotic species of the family . INTRODUCTION Considerable confusion has surrounded the taxonomy of the order Opiliones in North America, since the early work of the prolific Nathan Banks, who described many of ou r species in the last decade of the 1800's and the first few years of this century. For many species, no additional descriptive material has been published following the original de- scriptions, most of which were brief and concentrated on such characters as color and body proportions .

  • A Guide to the Implementation of Electronic Transcripts and Student Records
    A Guide to the Implementation of Electronic Transcripts and Student Records SPEEDE Committee of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers and the Postsecondary Electronics Standards Council April 1998 Introduction For the educational community to achieve the timely, uniform, and comparable exchange of information about students, electronic data interchange (EDI) standards have been developed for · elementary/secondary schools · postsecondary schools · state and federal education agencies · student data providers and other third parties · commercial software vendors Uniform implementation among these trading partners is critical. The purpose of this implementation guide is to give guidance on how the student educational record transaction sets should be implemented. This implementation guide is based on the December 1997 American National Standards Institute Accredited Standards Committee (ANSI ASC) X12 Version 4 Release 1 (00401, often referred to as “4010”) transaction sets: · 130 Student Educational Record (Transcript) · 131 Student Educational Record (Transcript) Acknowledgment · 146 Request for Student Educational Record (Transcript) · 147 Response to Request for Student Educational Record (Transcript) · 997 Functional Acknowledgment This postsecondary edition of the implementation guide is intended for the postsecondary implementor for exchanging transcripts with other postsecondary institutions and receiving student records from high schools. About the Authors The SPEEDE Committee of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers authored this guide in cooperation with the Statistical Networking Applications Project (SNAP) of the National Center for Education Statistics, US Department of Education. Members of the SPEEDE Committee share their personal expertise and experience to provide as informational yet streamlined a guide as possible. The authors make this postsecondary edition available on the World Wide Web at www.standardscouncil.org/transsets.htm.

ITO contribbtes to, and draws upon, the collective knowledge of the 14 sister institutes which make up the Natural Environment Research Council, spanning all the environmental sciences. The Institute studies the factors determining the structure, composition and processes of land and freshwater systems, and of individual plant and animal species. It is developing a sounder scientific basis for predicting and modelling environmental trends arising from natural or man-made change. The results of this research are available to those responsible for the protection, management and wise use of our natural resources. One quarter of ITE's work is research commissioned by customers, such as the Department of Environment, the European Economic Community, the Nature Conservancy Council and the Overseas Development Administration. The remainder is fundamental research supported by NERC. ITE's expertise is widely used by international organizations In overseas projects and programmes of research.

  • Behavioral Roles of the Sexually Dimorphic Structures in the Male Harvestman, Phalangium Opilio (Opiliones, Phalangiidae)
    1763 Behavioral roles of the sexually dimorphic structures in the male harvestman, Phalangium opilio (Opiliones, Phalangiidae) Rodrigo H. Willemart, Jean-Pierre Farine, Alfredo V. Peretti, and Pedro Gnaspini Abstract: In various animal species, male sexual dimorphic characters may be used during intrasexual contests as orna- ments to attract females, or to hold them before, during, or after copulation. In the well-known harvestman, Phalangium opilio L., 1758, the behavioral functions of these male sexually dimorphic structures have never been studied in detail. Therefore, in addition to a morphometric study, 21 male contests and 43 sexual interactions were analyzed. Our observa- tions revealed that during contests, the male cheliceral horns form a surface by which the contestants use to push each other face-to-face while rapidly tapping their long pedipalps against the pedipalps of the opponent, occasionally twisting the opponent’s pedipalp. Scanning electron micrographs revealed contact mechanoreceptors on the pedipalp that would de- tect the intensity–frequency of contact with the contender’s pedipalp. Larger males won almost all contests, whereas the loser rapidly fled. During sexual interactions, the longer pedipalps of the male held legs IV of the female, whereas males with shorter pedipalps held the female by legs III. No contact with the male pedipalps and chelicerae by the females was visible before, during, or after copulation. Soon after copulating, males typically bent over the female, positioning their cheliceral horns against the females’s dorsum. Consequently, our data show that the cheliceral horns and the longer pedi- palps of the male seem to play an important role, during both intersexual and intrasexual encountering.

A new genus and species of small harvestman was found for the first time in Slovakia – Carinostoma elegans (Sørensen, 1894). One male and two females were collected in the Mlyňany arboretum of the Slovak Academy of Science (western Slovakia). Descriptions and photographs of both sexes of C. elegans are provided.
