Empirical corrections and pair interaction energies in the fragment molecular orbital method
The energy and analytic gradient are developed for FMO combined with the
Hartree-Fock method augmented with three empirical corrections (HF-3c). The
auxiliary basis set approach to FMO is extended to perform pair interaction
energy decomposition analysis. The FMO accuracy is evaluated for several
typical systems including 3 proteins. Pair interaction energies computed with
different approaches in FMO are compared for a water cluster and protein-ligand
complexes.Comment: Revised version accepted in Chemical Physics Letter

A Study of Parental Attitudes Regarding Secondary Boarding Schools of the Mid-America Union of Seventh-day Adventists
Problem. One of the challenging problems of SDA education in North America is the possible trend of declining enrollment of boarding academies, which have been the mainstay of the SDA secondary school system. It was the purpose of this study to determine if a relationship existed between the declining enrollment and parental attitudes concerning the boarding academies.
Method. A five-page Likert-type scale survey was used to gather information from randomly selected parents of high-school-age students in the Mid-America Union. Seven sub-hypotheses were used to test the major hypothesis which stated there would be a significant relationship between declining boarding school enrollment and parental attitudes toward the boarding school. The seven sub-hypotheses chosen covered areas of specific attitudes: financial costs, church attendance, socio-economic levels, length of church membership, dormitory concept, and the school\u27s fulfillment ofits mission.
A chi-square analysis was run on the 210 surveys, applying .10 as the level for significance.
Results and Conclusions. There was a significant relationship between the decline of enrollment of the boarding schools and the attitudes of parents. There was asignificant difference between parents who did not send their young people to SDA schools and parents who did send them in the areas of: quality of academics, cost of attendance, parental church attendance and length of membership, work program, faculty dedication, witnessing training, and the dormitory concept.
There was no significant difference found between the two groups in the areas of: socio-economic levels, effectiveness of teachers, and parental perception of school\u27s uniqueness concerning teaching Christian beliefs and values.
The study revealed that the cost of the boarding school and the dormitory situation were two negative variables that may have contributed to non-attendance. Recommendations were made in the areas of: (1) the promotion of Christian education, (2) academic achievement, (3) the cost of boarding school attendance, and (4) the dormitory situation
A Little Magazine called MAK:In the Periphery of the Revolution
The Danish avant-garde magazine Mak contained throughout its short life an extensive discussion on whether or not art could be used as a weapon in the struggle for the new society the counterculture was dreaming about in the late nineteen sixties. Mak was devoted to this question: How can art move from the (aesthetic) periphery to the centre of (political) influence
