A topological graph is a one-dimensional complex consisting of finitely many 0-cells (vertices) and finitely many 1-cells (edges and loops). In [7], Kauffman proved that piecewise linear ambient isotopy of a piecewise linear embedding of a topological graph in Euclidean 3-space R3 or 3-sphere 3, referred simply a knotted graph, is generated by a set of diagrammatic local moves (see Fig. 1) that...

Modern Land Mobile Radio has the potential for large growth in the near future. Current regulations have set the stage for a required transition to more spectrally efficient technologies. While several organizations are working to ease this transition, there still remain many details and feature sets which the end user must decide amongst and often there is no clear dividing line between these ...

With the advent of new game controllers, traditional input mechanisms for games have changed to include gestural interfaces and camera recognition techniques, which are being further explored with the likes of Sony’s PlayStation Move and Microsoft’s Kinect. Soon these techniques will include affective input to control game interaction and mechanics. Thus, it is important to explore which game d...

Compressors based on the Burrows Wheeler transform (BWT) convert the transformed text into a string of (move-to-front) ranks. These ranks are then encoded with an Ordermodel, or a hierarchy of such models. Although these rank-based methods perform very well, we believe the transformation to MTF numbers blurs the distinction between individual symbols and is a possible cause of inefficiency. Ins...
