The Heegaard genus of manifolds obtained by surgery on links and knots
Let L⊂S3 be a fixed link. It is shown that there exists an upper bound on the Heegaard genus of any manifold obtained by surgery on L. The tunnel number of L, T(L), is defined and used as an upper bound.

A Chebyshev knot is a knot which admits a parametrization of the form x(t) = Ta(t); y(t) = Tb(t); z(t) = Tc(t + ϕ), where a, b, c integers, Tn(t) is the Chebyshev polynomial of degree n, and φ ∈ R. Chebyshev knots are non-compact analogues of the classical Lissajous knots. We show that there are infinitely many Chebyshev knots with φ = 0.

Knots not concordant to L-space knots [PDF]
AbstractIn this short note we use methods of Friedl, Livingston and Zentner to show that there are knots that are not algebraically concordant to a connected sum of positive and negative L-space knots.

Modeling the Influence of Knots on Douglas-Fir Veneer Fiber Orientation
This study presents a method for predicting the local fiber orientation of veneers made from peeled Douglas-fir logs based on the knowledge of the tree branch characteristics (location, radius, insertion angle, azimuth angle, and living branch ratio ...

Optical vortices generically arise when optical beams are combined. Recently, we reported how several laser beams containing optical vortices could be combined to form optical vortex loops, links and knots embedded in a light beam (Leach et al 2004 ...

Assessment of the effect of quality factors on the assortment structure in poplar plantations [PDF]
Quality factors affecting the assortment quality structure in poplar plantations were researched on nine temporary sample plots in the period 1997-2004, from the aspect of the implementation of roundwood standards. Sample plots were selected depending on

Age and environment affect constitutive immune function in Red Knots (Calidris canutus) [PDF]
We studied subspecies, age and environmental effects on constitutive immune function (natural antibody and complement titres, haptoglobin activity and leukocyte concentrations) in Red Knots (Calidris canutus). We compared C. c. islandica and C.

Influence of knots on the modulus of elasticity of wooden foundation piles [PDF]
openLe città fondate su suoli di tipo paludoso, come Amsterdam e Venezia, sono caratterizzate da terreni con scarsa capacità portante, motivo per il quale vengono utilizzati pali di fondazione in legno.

Local-moves on knots and products of knots II [PDF]
We use the terms, knot product and local-move, as defined in the text of this paper. Let [Formula: see text] be an integer [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the set of simple spherical [Formula: see text]-knots in [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be an integer [Formula: see text].

We study the formation of knots on a macroscopic ball-chain, which is shaken on a horizontal plate at 12 times the acceleration of gravity. We find that above a certain critical length, the knotting probability is independent of chain length, while the time to shake out a knot increases rapidly with chain length. The probability if finding a knot after
