Validating The Rating Process Of An English As A Second Language Writing Portfolio Exam, Robb Mark Mccollum

Theses and Dissertations

A validity study can be used to investigate the effectiveness of an exam and reveal both its strengths and weaknesses. This study concerns an investigation of the writing portfolio Level Achievement Test (LAT) at the English Language Center (ELC) of Brigham Young University (BYU). The writing portfolios of 251 students at five proficiency levels were rated by 11 raters. Writing portfolios consisted of two coursework essays, a self-reflection assignment, and a 30-minute timed essay. Quantitative methods included an analysis with Many-Facet Rasch Model (MFRM) software, called FACETS, which looked for anomalies in levels, classes, examinees, raters, writing criteria, and the …

Mouse Models For Assessing The Role Of Selenoproteins In Health And Development, Bradley A. Carlson, Xue-Ming Xu, Rajeev Shrimali, Aniruddha Sengupta, Min-Hyuk Yoo, Nianxin Zhong, Dolph L. Hatfield, Robert Irons, Cindy D. Davis, Byeong Jae Lee, Sergey V. Novoselov, Vadim N. Gladyshev

Vadim Gladyshev Publications

Mouse models have been generated to assess the roles of selenoproteins involved with housekeeping tasks and/or stress-related phenomena in development and health. Each mouse model has taken advantage of the fact that the synthesis of all selenoproteins is dependent on the expression of two selenocysteine ^{(Sec) tRNA[Ser]Sec} isoforms that differ fiom each other by a single methyl group on the ribosyl moiety at position 34. The endogenous ^{(Sec) tRNA[Ser]Sec} population was selectively altered by generating mouse models involving 1) transgenic animals carrying mutant or wild type ^{(Sec) tRNA[Ser]Sec} transgenes, 2) conditional knockout animals carrying a floxed ^{(Sec) tRNA[Ser]Sec} gene that …
