DESCRIPTORS *Achievement Tests; Decision Making; Elementary Secondary Education; *High Stakes Tests; National Competency Tests; Political Influences; Social Influences; *Standardized Tests; *Student Evaluation; *Test Use; Validity ABSTRACT This study looks at how testing affects critical decisions for U.S. students, focusing on the impact of testing on individual students. It examines common misuses of tests, their political and social contexts, what happens when test issues are taken to court, special student populations, social promotion, and other issues of current interest. The Committee on Appropriate Test Use of the Board on Testing and Assessment of the National Research Council adopted three principal criteria for determining whether test use is appropriate. Measurement validity, attribution of cause, and effectiveness of treatment are the criteria on which the basic principles of appropriate test use lie. The chapters of this report are: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Assessment Policy and Politics"; (3) "Legal Frameworks"; (4) "Tests as Measurement"; (5) "Tracking"; (6) "Promotion and Retention"; (7) "Awarding or Withholding High School Diplomas"; (8) "Students with Disabilities"; (9) "English-Language Learners"; (10) "Use of Voluntary National Test Scores for Tracking, Promotion, or Graduation Decisions"; (11) "Potential Strategies for Promoting Appropriate Test Use"; and (12) "Findings and Recommendations."

WOLPIN, Department of Economics, University of Pennsylvania MICHAEL J. FEUER, Director VIOLA C. HOREK, Administrative Associate iv President Clinton's 1997 proposal to create voluntary national tests in reading and mathematics catapulted testing to the top of the national education agenda. The proposal turned up the volume on what had already been a contentious debate and drew intense scrutiny from a wide range of educators, parents, policy makers, and social scientists. Recog- nizing the important role science could play in sorting through the pas- sionate and often heated exchanges in the testing debate, Congress and the Clinton administration asked the National Research Council, through its Board on Testing and Assessment (BOTA), to conduct three fast-track studies over a 10-month period. This report and its companionsUncommon Measures: Equivalence and Linkage Among Educational Tests and Evaluation of the Voluntary Na- tional Tests: Phase 1are the result of truly heroic efforts on the part of the BOTA members, the study committee chairs and members, two co- principal investigators, consultants, and staff, who all understood the urgency of the mission and rose to the challenge of a unique and daunting timeline. Michael Feuer, BOTA director, deserves the special thanks of the board for keeping the effort on track and shepherding the report through the review process.

  • Dihydrochalcones in Malus Mill. Germplasm and Hybrid
    DIHYDROCHALCONES IN MALUS MILL. GERMPLASM AND HYBRID POPULATIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Benjamin Leo Gutierrez December 2017 © 2017 Benjamin Leo Gutierrez DIHYDROCHALCONES IN MALUS MILL. GERMPLASM AND HYBRID POPULATIONS Benjamin Leo Gutierrez, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 Dihydrochalcones are abundant in Malus Mill. species, including the cultivated apple (M. ×domestica Borkh.). Phloridzin, the primary dihydrochalcone in Malus species, has beneficial nutritional qualities, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-diabetic properties. As such, phloridzin could be a target for improvement of nutritional quality in new apple cultivars. In addition to phloridzin, a few rare Malus species produce trilobatin or sieboldin in place of phloridzin and hybridization can lead to combinations of phloridzin, trilobatin, or sieboldin in interspecific apple progenies. Trilobatin and sieboldin also have unique chemical properties that make them desirable targets for apple breeding, including high antioxidant activity, anti- inflammatory, anti-diabetic properties, and a high sweetness intensity. We studied the variation of phloridzin, sieboldin, and trilobatin content in leaves of 377 accessions from the USDA National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) Malus collection in Geneva, NY over three seasons and identified valuable genetic resources for breeding and researching dihydrochalcones. From these resources, five apple hybrid populations were developed to determine the genetic basis of dihydrochalcone variation. Phloridzin, sieboldin, and trilobatin appear to follow segregation patterns for three independent genes and significant trait-marker associations were identified using genetic data from genotyping-by-sequencing. Dihydrochalcones are at much lower quantities in mature apple fruit compared with vegetative tissues.

The Database of 600 Validated Profiles Sanja Baric1,2 · Alberto Storti1,2 ·MelanieHofer1 ·WalterGuerra1 · Josef Dalla Via3 Received: 12 March 2020 / Accepted: 24 March 2020 / Published online: 28 April 2020 © The Author(s) 2020 Abstract Apple (Malus× domestica Borkh.) is the most widely grown permanent fruit crop of temperate climates. Although com- mercial apple growing is based on a small number of globally spread cultivars, its diversity is much larger and there are estimates about the existence of more than 10,000 documented varieties. The varietal diversity can be described and determined based on phenotypic characters of the external and internal traits of fruit, which, however, can be modulated by environmental factors. Consequently, molecular methods have become an important alternative means for the char- acterisation of apple cultivar diversity. In order to use multilocus microsatellite data for determination of unidentified or misidentified apple varieties, a database with molecular genetic fingerprints of well-determined reference cultivars needs to be available. The objective of the present work was to establish such a database that could be applied for the molecular genetic determination of a large number of historic and modern, diploid and triploid apple cultivars. Based on the analysis of more than 1600 accessions of apple trees sampled in 37 public and private cultivar collections in different European countries at 14 variable microsatellite loci, a database with 600 molecular genetic profiles was finally obtained.
