Kauffman Knot Invariant from SO(N) or Sp(N) Chern-Simons theory and the Potts Model
The expectation value of Wilson loop operators in three-dimensional SO(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory gives a known knot invariant: the Kauffman polynomial. Here this result is derived, at the first order, via a simple variational method.

Estimating the Human Error Probability during Lifeboat Drills
Lifeboats are life-saving equipment used when it is necessary to abandon a ship or, in some ships, for man-overboard situations (to collect persons from water). Every seafarer onboard a ship has a task related to lifeboat operation in an emergency.

Towards a loop representation for quantum canonical supergravity [PDF]
We study several aspects of the canonical quantization of supergravity in terms of the Asthekar variables. We cast the theory in terms of a $GSU(2)$ connection and we introduce a loop representation.

Trends in Survival and Cure Indicators of Thin and Thick Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma in Italy
ABSTRACT Background In Italy, cure indicators of cutaneous malignant melanoma according to Breslow tumour thickness have never been assessed. Objectives To evaluate the time trend in 1‐year net survival (NS), 5|1‐year conditional NS (CNS) and cure fraction (CF). Methods Data from 10 cancer registries and 13,377 patients aged 15–74 years were used. Five|
