We study the unwheeled rational Kontsevich integral of torus knots. We give a precise formula for these invariants up to loop degree 3 and show that they appear as colorings of simple diagrams. We show that they behave under cyclic branched coverings in a very simple way. Our proof is combinatorial: it uses the results of Wheels and Wheelings and new decorations of diagrams.

density functional theory ,(dft) calculations have been performed to investigate the properties ofcarbon decorated (c-decorated) models of boron nitride (bn) nanocones. to this aim, the apex andtip of nanocone have been substituted by the carbon atoms to represent the c-decorated models. theresults indicated that dipole moments and energy gaps could reveal the effects of c-decorations onthe pro...

A number of subgroups of Polymyxa graminis have been separated on the basis of their rDNA sequence. Isolates of P. graminis found on temperate cereals can similarly be divided into two subgroups known as ribotypes I and II. Nothing is known about the biological significance of these ribotypes with regard to host range and virus transmission. Initial studies have been directed towards testing of...

Genetic aberrations are commonly seen in human preimplantation embryos. Non-disjunction and premature division of a chromosome are common in both meiosis and mitosis divisions. The expected result for meiotic aneuploidies is full aneuploidy in the later stages whereas mosaicism is the most frequent event in the cleavage and blastocyst stages. The main causes for mosaicism are post-zygotic event...

introduction: several potyviruses infecting gramineous plants have been reported from iran. mosaic is the most widespread viral disease affecting sugarcane and maize production. sugarcane mosaic virus (scmv) is one of the causal agents of mosaic disease, which was first described in ohio in 1963. scmv belonging to the genus potyvirus, family potyviridae, is a single-stranded positive sense rna ...

Attention is drawn to a particularly dangerous party activity. Balloons filled with lighter gas so as to float are used for party decorations. A case of hand burn caused by accidentally lighting such a balloon with a cigarette is reported. The method is strongly advised against, it is a much better idea to use helium for such purposes.
