We introduce higher skein modules of links generalizing the Conway skein module. We show that these modules are closely connected to the HOMFLY polynomial.

Fifteen years ago, the high-performance computing (HPC) market started to abandon its data-parallel, vector architectural lineage and turned to commodity-priced scalar processors. One by one, the other custom components of HPC systems have been pushed aside in favor of cheaper, standards-based alternatives. With some notable exceptions, most HPC system component technologies have been mainstrea...

Modifications in recorder standardization are required to correct inherent scalar differences among potential differences measured in a given electrocardiographic reference frame. In the frontal plane, agreement between the resultant vectors calculated from unipolar limb lead measurements and from standard lead measurements can be obtained by standardizing the galvanometer for recording the uni...
