In this paper we investigate how certain results related to the HananiTutte theorem can be lifted to orientable surfaces of higher genus. We give a new simple, geometric proof that the weak Hanani-Tutte theorem is true for higher-genus surfaces. We extend the proof to prove that bipartite generalized thrackles in a surface S can be embedded in S. We also show that a result of Pach and Tóth that...

This is in some sense an addendum to [Sch11]. It originated from work on diverse other topics during which a lot of purely relational results with broad applicability have been produced. These include results on domain construction with novel formulae for existential and inverse image, a relational calculus for binary mappings, and the development of a formally derived relational calculus of Kr...

Fiedel and Haynes misrepresent many of the arguments we have made concerning the overkill hypothesis. We clarify some of these mischaracterizations and call attention to some of the factual and logical errors in their paper. 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

To find a person not guilty by reason of insanity in Texas, it must be shown that at the time of the crime the person did not know the difference between right and wrong. This standard, applied in many other states, is a crude measure for something that cries out for subtlety. It is the reason that Andrea Yates was recently found guilty of murder, even though she was clearly, and by all account...

Abstract: Finding CP violation (CPV) in 1964 produced a real revolution in the fundamental dynamics, although the community did not understand it right away. The paper by Kobayashi & Maskawa [1] appeared in 1973 to describe CPV in classes of three (or more) families of quarks, non-minimal Higgs' dynamics and/or charged right-handed currents. The Standard Model is now with three families of quar...

Within the European funded project SOPHIA, a Round Robin measurement on CPV module has been initiated. Seven different test laboratories located in Europe between 48 °N and 37 °N perform measurements of four SOITEC CPV modules. The modules are electrically characterized with different measurement equipment under various climatic conditions. One pyrheliometer and one spectral sensor based on com...
