Cubes Keep Their Distance

Keep your distance ?

Remote interpreting, whereby the interpreter is physically separated from those who need the interpretation, has been investigated in relation to conference and healthcare settings. By contrast, very little is known about remote interpreting in legal proceedings, where this method of interpreting is increasingly used to optimise interpreters‟ availability. This paper reports the findings of an ...

Partial cubes are distance graphs

Imaginary Cubes and Their Puzzles

Imaginary cubes are three dimensional objects which have square silhouette projections in three orthogonal ways just as a cube has. In this paper, we study imaginary cubes and present assembly puzzles based on them. We show that there are 16 equivalence classes of minimal convex imaginary cubes, among whose representatives are a hexagonal bipyramid imaginary cube and a triangular antiprism imag...

Hypoxic turtles keep their cool

Several species of freshwater turtles spend the winter submerged in ice-covered lakes in a state of severe metabolic depression. It has been proposed that the hibernating turtles are comatose and entirely unresponsive, which raises the question of how they detect the arrival of spring and whether they respond to sensory information during hibernation. Using evoked potential studies in cold hypo...

The shuffle-cubes and their generalization

In this paper, we first present a new variation of hypercubes, denoted by SQn. SQn is obtained from Qn by changing some links. SQn is also an n-regular n-connected graph but of diameter about n/4. Then, we present a generalization of SQn. For any positive integer g, we can construct an n-dimensional generalized shuffle-cube with 2n vertices which is n-regular and n-connected. However its diamet...
