Bounds on \"{U}bercrossing and Petal Numbers for Knots [PDF]
An $n$-crossing is a point in the projection of a knot where $n$ strands cross so that each strand bisects the crossing. An \"ubercrossing projection has a single $n$-crossing and a petal projection has a single $n$-crossing such that there are no loops ...

INDEPENDENT ORIGINATION OF FLORAL ZYGOMORPHY, A PREDICTED ADAPTIVE RESPONSE TO POLLINATORS: DEVELOPMENTAL AND GENETIC MECHANISMS [PDF]
Observations of floral development indicate that floral organ initiation in pentapetalous flowers more commonly results in a medially positioned abaxial petal (MAB) than in a medially positioned adaxial petal (MAD), where the medial plane is defined by ...

Electrical and Thermal Conductivity of Complex-Shaped Contact Spots [PDF]
This paper explores the electrical and thermal conductivity of complex contact spots on the surface of a half-space. Employing an in-house Fast Boundary Element Method implementation, various complex geometries were studied. Our investigation begins with annulus contact spots to assess the impact of connectedness.

Electromagnetic and mechanical AC loss of an ITER TF model coil conductor (DP4) under transverse cyclic loading [PDF]
Energising a coil results in a transverse force on the strands pushing the cable towards one side of the jacket. This load causes a transverse compressive strain in strands and in particular in strand crossover points.

The Distribution of Knots in the Petaluma Model [PDF]
The representation of knots by petal diagrams (Adams et al. 2012) naturally defines a sequence of distributions on the set of knots. In this article we establish some basic properties of this randomized knot model. We prove that in the random n-petal model the probability of obtaining every specific knot type decays to zero as n, the number of petals ...

Considering the New REMS Legislation of the 2007 Amendments [PDF]
On September 27, 2007, the Congress passed new amendments to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. These amendments contained numerous changes to the act aimed at addressing the current needs for food, drug, and cosmetic safety. Yet, arguably one area of that

Vectorial structure of a hard-edged-diffracted four-petal Gaussian beam in the far field
Based on the vector angular spectrum method and the stationary phase method and the fact that a circular aperture function can be expanded into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, the analytical vectorial structure of a four-petal Gaussian beam ...

The Arabidopsis JAGGED gene encodes a zinc finger protein that promotes leaf tissue development [PDF]
Important goals in understanding leaf development are to identify genes involved in pattern specification, and also genes that translate this information into cell types and tissue structure. Loss-of-function mutations at the JAGGED (JAG) locus result in
