which shows the compiled program of Fig. 3 together with the new version which requires only four (instead of 14) words for intermediate results. The principles of the minimization algorithm are as follows: 1) A correspondence table is set up between "old" starred integers as they appear in the instructions of the first stage and the successive integers 1*, 2*, 3*, etc; 2) Starting with the sec...

In 1857, Henry Box Brown starred in Edward Gascoigne Burton's The Fugitive Free and Nubian Captive , two “slave dramas” based on his life. His performance inevitably infused both with an antislavery message: a radical departure from conventional black abolitionist strategies of resistance the British Isles, plays change our understanding anti-slavery, Brown, general. Despite short acting career...

Among the vast number of polyhex graphs corresponding to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons several graphs are known to have a vexing property with respect to the perfect matching, or Kekulć structure counting problem." Examples are 12 and 23, which have the same number of starred I_I and unstarred IO I atoms but have no Kekule structure (See the left half of Figure 1). Further, both of them have...

We give an algorithmic computation for the height of Kauffman’s clock lattice obtained from a knot diagram with two adjacent regions starred and without crossing information specified. We show that this lattice is more familiarly the graph of perfect matchings of a bipartite graph obtained from the knot diagram by overlaying the two dual Tait graphs of the knot diagram. Furthermore we prove str...

Alissa Chater offers a three-part analysis of Netflix original animated television show, Bojack Horseman. In her analysis Chater discusses the ways in which the show is in dialogue with the sitcom genres it parodies as she compares the world of Bojack Horseman to the show-within-a-show, Horsin’ Around, the sitcom the titular character starred in some twenty years previous. Chater explores the w...

We point out that a field φ charged under a global U(1) symmetry generally allows for a starred localized extension with the transformation rule, φ → UL ⋆ φ ⋆ U −1 R . This results in a double gauging of the global U(1) symmetry on noncommutative space. We interpret the gauge theory so obtained in terms of the gauge fields that in the commutative limit appear naturally and are respectively the ...
