This paper deenes for each object X that can be constructed out of a nite number of vertices and cells a vector fX lying in a nite dimensional vector space. This is the ag vector of X. It is hoped that the quantum topological invariants of a manifold M can be expressed as linear functions of the ag vector of the i-graph that arises from any suitable triangulation T of M. Flag vectors are also d...

The new Lcica RM 2165 automatic, heavy-duty microtome has an advanced step motor that permits an exact specimen feed and reproducible sectioning results. Features include 70 mm vertical stroke length, unique step trim function, and programmable specimen retraction. Technical features include a handwheel rocking sectioning mode; the motorized specimen feed can be linked to change the handwheel t...
