We investigate coincidences of the (one-variable) Jones polynomial amongst rational knots, what we call “Jones coincidences”. provide moves on continued fraction expansion associated which prove do not change and conjecture (based experimental evidence from all knots with determinant [Formula: see text]) that these are sufficient to generate coincidences. In process give a new formula for knot ...

Accurate prediction of alkane phase transitions involving solids is needed to prevent catastrophic pipeline blockages, improve lubrication formulations, smart insulation, and energy storage, as well bring fundamental understanding processes such artificial morphogenesis. However, simulation these challenging therefore often omitted in force field development. Here, we perform a series benchmark...

PURPOSE Involutional entropion is a common condition in Asian countries, including Japan. One cause of involutional entropion is weakening of the capsulopalpebral fascia (CPF). The aged, thin, membranous nature of the CPF limits the results of correction by the original Jones procedure (CPF tightening) alone, so we added the modified Hotz procedure to the entropion repair. We then compared the ...

BACKGROUND The two-incision technique and the modified Watson-Jones technique use muscular intervals and avoid muscle cutting in total hip arthroplasty (THA). However these two techniques have not been compared. METHODS A prospective randomized study of clinical outcomes and patient preferences was performed in 20 patients who had a two-incision THA in one hip and a modified Watson-Jones THA ...

Jones & Love (J&L) suggest that Bayesian approaches to the explanation of human behavior should be constrained by mechanistic theories. We argue that their proposal misconstrues the relation between process models, such as the Bayesian model, and mechanisms. While mechanistic theories can answer specific issues that arise from the study of processes, one cannot expect them to provide constraints
