Narrative: A Family Meeting Dr. and Mrs. Jones are an elderly couple living in the same house where they raised their five children. For the past decade, Mrs. Jones has been increasingly confused, and she now requires in-home assistance most of the time. Recently, Dr. Jones has become more confused as well. Dr. Smith is the primary physician for both Dr. and Mrs. Jones, and, at a recent appoint...

We show that the n-th derivative of a quantum group invariant, evaluated at 1, is a Vassiliev invariant while the derivative of the Jones polynomial, evaluated at a real number 6 = 1, is not a Vassiliev in variant. The coeecients of the classical Conway polynomial are known to be Vassiliev invariants. We show that the coeecients of the Jones polynomial are not vassiliev invariants.

taking behaviors also affected early initiation of sex and that these associations varied somewhat between male and female adolescents.3 In this article, a followup to that analysis, we use more recent data for the young adult children of female NLSY respondents to more fully investigate early sexual activity. Additionally, we examine the correlates of ineffective contraceptive use and early ch...

A bulky compression dressing (the Robert Jones bandage) is often used by orthopaedic surgeons. We have reviewed its history and monitored intramuscular compartment pressure under it after total knee replacement. We found that it increased compartment pressure and helped to reduce bleeding, tissue oedema and the size of effusions and haemarthroses.

Reconstructability analysis (RA) is a method for detecting and analyzing the structure of multivariate categorical data. Jones and his colleagues extended the original variablebased formulation of RA to encompass models defined in terms of system states (Jones 1982; Jones 1985; Jones 1985; Jones 1986; Jones 1989). In this paper, we demonstrate that Jones’ previous work comprises two separable i...

We prove a lower bound of 2.00002 on the the total length of a set (of curves) that intersects every line that intersects the unit square. The best known lower bound has been 2, established by Jones in 1964.
