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.

Büchi’s theorem, in establishing the equivalence between languages definable in S1S over pP,ăq and the ω-regular languages also demonstrated that S1S over pP,ăq is no more expressive than its existential fragment. It is also easy to see that S1S over pP,ăq is equi-expressive with S1S over pP, sq. However, it is not immediately obvious whether it is possible to adapt Büchi’s argument to establis...

An occupation restricted multiple active space (ORMAS) study of clusters that represent the silicon(100) surface (up to nine surface dimers) is discussed. The accuracy of three different active orbital ORMAS partition schemes for Si(100) surface clusters are compared. In addition to ORMAS-SCF calculations, generalized valence bond-perfect pairing (GVB-PP) properties are generated for comparison...
