“The Baron’s omni-sequence”, B(n), first defined by Khovanova and Lewis (2011), is a sequence that gives for each n the minimum number of weighings on balance scales that can verify the correct labeling of n identically-looking coins with distinct integer weights between 1 gram and n grams. A trivial lower bound on B(n) is log3 n, and it has been shown that B(n) is log3 n + O(log log n). In thi...

Autism is a disorder characterized by severe impairments in social and communicative development, and by abnormalities in flexible behavior and imaginative thinking (American Psychiatric Association, 1987). In addition, these symptoms often have an onset in the first 3 years of life. The social and communicative abnormalities have recently been conceptualized as the result of abnormalities in t...

However, the model incorporates critical features of appellate court jurisprudence — including disposition votes and coalitions, opinion assignment, opinion writing, and voting over draft opinions to create a majority opinion —so that it is indeed...
