Education of Defectives in the Public Schools. By Meta L. Anderson. Yonkers, N. Y.: World Book Company, 1917. Pp. xvii+104. Miss Anderson has set forth, in a thoroughly practical way, the methods used by teachers of defectives in the more progressive American cities. A serious weakness in her book, is that she ignores nearly everything that has been accomplished outside of Newark, N. J., Vinela...

We show that uniform families of ACC circuits of subexponential size cannot compute the permanent function. This also implies similar lower bounds for certain sets in PP. This is one of the very few examples of a lower bound in circuit complexity where the uniformity condition is essential; it is still unknown if there is any set in Ntime (2 n O(1) ) that does not have nonuniform ACC circuits.

Phosphophoryn (PP) is generated from the proteolytic cleavage of dentin sialophosphoprotein (DSPP). Gene duplications in the ancestor dentin matrix protein-1 (DMP-1) genomic sequence created the DSPP gene in toothed animals. PP and DMP-1 are phosphorylated extracellular matrix proteins that belong to the family of small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoproteins (SIBLINGs). Many SIBLING mem...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine if there is a quantitative relationship between chronic intracranial pressure (ICP) and peripapillary Bruch's membrane (pp-BM) shape and to determine whether change in pp-BM shape can be detected within 1 hour after ICP lowering by lumbar puncture (LP). Methods In this study, 30° nasal-temporal optical coherence tomography B-scans were obtain...

BACKGROUND Plasma transfusion is a common clinical practice. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) protects organs against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Whether preconditioned plasma (PP), collected at late phase after RIPC, could protect organs against IR injury in vivo is unknown. This study explored whether transfusion of PP could reduce myocardial infarct size (IS) after IR in rat in v...

Abstract. For any positive integer n and variables a and x we define the generalized Legendre polynomial Pn(a, x) by Pn(a, x) = Pn k=0 a k −1−a k ( 1−x 2 ). Let p be an odd prime. In this paper we prove many congruences modulo p related to Pp−1(a, x). For example, we show that Pp−1(a, x) ≡ (−1)〈a〉p Pp−1(a,−x) (mod p), where a is a rational p− adic integer and 〈a〉p is the least nonnegative resid...
