Advances in questionnaire design, development, evaluation, and testing
A new and updated definitive resource for survey questionnaire testing and evaluation
Building on the success of the first Questionnaire Development, Evaluation, and Testing (QDET) conference in 2002, this book brings together leading papers from the Second International Conference on Questionnaire Design, Development, Evaluation, and Testing (QDET2) held in 2016. The volume assesses the current state of the art and science of QDET; examines the importance of methodological attention to the questionnaire in the present world of information collection; and ponders how the QDET field can anticipate new trends and directions as information needs and data collection methods continue to evolve.
Featuring contributions from international experts in survey methodology, Advances in Questionnaire Design, Development, Evaluation and Testing includes latest insights on question characteristics, usability testing, web probing, and other pretesting approaches, as well as:
* Recent developments in the design and evaluation of digital and self-administered surveys
* Strategies for comparing and combining questionnaire evaluation methods
* Approaches for cross-cultural and cross-national questionnaire development
* New data sources and methodological innovations during the last 15 years
* Case studies and practical applications
Advances in Questionnaire Design, Development, Evaluation and Testing serves as a forum to prepare researchers to meet the next generation of challenges, making it an excellent resource for researchers and practitioners in government, academia, and the private sector.

Arithmetic geometry : computation and applications : 16th International Conference, Arithmetic, Geometry, Cryptography, and Coding Theory, June 19-23, 2017, Centre International de Rencontres Mathématiques, Marseille, France
For thirty years, the biennial international conference AGC$^2$T (Arithmetic, Geometry, Cryptography, and Coding Theory) has brought researchers to Marseille to build connections between arithmetic geometry and its applications, originally highlighting coding theory but more recently including cryptography and other areas as well.This volume contains the proceedings of the 16th international conference, held from June 19-23, 2017.The papers are original research articles covering a large range of topics, including weight enumerators for codes, function field analogs of the Brauer-Siegel theorem, the computation of cohomological invariants of curves, the trace distributions of algebraic groups, and applications of the computation of zeta functions of curves. Despite the varied topics, the papers share a common thread: the beautiful interplay between abstract theory and explicit results.
