Gabai's sutured manifold theory has produced many remarkable results in knot theory. Let M be the compact oriented 3-manifold and (M, ${\gamma}$) be sutured manifold. The aim of this note is to show that there exist a sutured manifold decomposition and a surface of M which defines a sutured manifold decomposition.

A mathematical knot is an embedded circle in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$. A fundamental problem in knot theory is classifying knots up to its numbers of crossing points. Knots are often distinguished by using a knot invariant, a quantity which is the same for equivalent knots. Knot polynomials are one of well known knot invariants. In 2006, J. Przytycki showed the effects of a n - move (a local change in a knot diagram) on several knot polynomials. In this paper, the authors review about knot polynomials, especially Jones polynomial, and give an alternative proof to a part of the Przytychi's result for the case n = 3 on the Jones polynomial.

Divide knots and links, defined by A'Campo in the singularity theory of complex curves, is a method to present knots or links by real plane curves. The present paper is a sequel of the author's previous result that every knot in the major subfamilies of Berge's lens space surgery (i.e., knots yielding a lens space by Dehn surgery) is presented by an L-shaped curve as a divide knot. In the present paper, L-shaped curves are generalized and it is shown that every knot in the minor subfamilies, called sporadic examples of Berge's lens space surgery, is presented by a generalized L-shaped curve as a divide knot. A formula on the surgery coefficients and the presentation is also considered.

In [9], Kauffman introduced virtual knot theory and generalized many classical knot invariants to virtual ones. For example, he extended the Jones polynomials $V_K(t)$ of classical links to the f-polynomials $f_K(A)$ of virtual links by using bracket polynomials. In [4], M. Goussarov, M. Polyak and O. Viro introduced finite type invariants of virtual knots. In this paper, we give a necessary condition for a virtual knot invariant to be of finite type by using $t(a_1,{\cdots},a_m)$-sequences of virtual knots. Then we show that the higher derivatives $f_K^{(n)}(a)$ of the f-polynomial $f_K(A)$ of a virtual knot K at any point a are not of finite type unless $n{\leq}1$ and a = 1.

We study RNA foldings and investigate their topology using a combination of knot theory and embedded rigid vertex graphs. Knot theory has been helpful in modeling biomolecules, but classical knots emphasize a biomolecule's entanglement while ignoring their intrachain interactions. We remedy this by using stuck knots and links, which provide a way to emphasize both their entanglement and intrachain interactions. We first give a generating set of the oriented stuck Reidemeister moves for oriented stuck links. We then introduce an algebraic structure to axiomatize the oriented stuck Reidemeister moves. Using this algebraic structure, we define a coloring counting invariant of stuck links and provide explicit computations of the invariant. Lastly, we compute the counting invariant for arc diagrams of RNA foldings through the use of stuck link diagrams.

Given a pair p, q of relative prime positive integers, we have uniquely determined positive integers x, y, u and v such that vx-uy = 1, p = x + y and q = u + v. Using this property, we show that$${\sum\limits_{1{\leq}i{\leq}x,1{\leq}j{\leq}v}}\;{t^{(i-1)q+(j-1)p}\;-\;{\sum\limits_{1{\leq}k{\leq}y,1{\leq}l{\leq}u}}\;t^{1+(k-1)q+(l-1)p}$$ is the Alexander polynomial ${\Delta}_{p,q}(t)$ of a torus knot t(p, q). Hence the number $N_{p,q}$ of non-zero terms of ${\Delta}_{p,q}(t)$ is equal to vx + uy = 2vx - 1. Owing to well known results in knot Floer homology theory, our expanding formula of the Alexander polynomial of a torus knot provides a method of algorithmically determining the total rank of its knot Floer homology or equivalently the complexity of its (1,1)-diagram. In particular we prove (see Corollary 2.8); Let q be a positive integer> 1 and let k be a positive integer. Then we have $$\begin{array}{rccl}(1)&N_{kq}+1,q&=&2k(q-1)+1\\(2)&N_{kq}+q-1,q&=&2(k+1)(q-1)-1\\(3)&N_{kq}+2,q&=&{\frac{1}{2}}k(q^2-1)+q\\(4)&N_{kq}+q-2,q&=&{\frac{1}{2}}(k+1)(q^2-1)-q\end{array}$$ where we further assume q is odd in formula (3) and (4). Consequently we confirm that the complexities of (1,1)-diagrams of torus knots of type t(kq + 2, q) and t(kq + q - 2, q) in [5] agree with $N_{kq+2,q}$ and $N_{kq+q-2,q}$ respectively.

서로 다른 기하학적 모델링 시스템에 사용되는 곡선 및 곡면의 자료 교환에서, 시스템이 지원하는 그 곡선 및 곡면의 최대 차수에 제한이 있을 때, 낮은 차수로의 차수 감소가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 근사 변환에 의한 B-spline 곡선의 차수 감소 방법을 제시한다. 기존의 Bzier 곡선의 차수감소 방법들을 적용하고, 그 방법들을 비교 분석한다. B-spline 곡선의 knot 제거 알고리즘이 자료 감소를 위해 차수 감소 과정에 적용된다.Abstract The degree reduction of B-splines is required in exchanging parametric curves and surfaces of the different geometric modeling systems because some systems limit the supported maximal degree. We propose an approximate degree reduction method of B-spline curves using the existing Bzier degree reduction methods. Knot removal algorithm is used to reduce data in the degree reduction process.

The purpose of this study is to propose a topological design principles and to analyze the space of digital architecture applying topological invariant expressive characteristics. As this study is based on topology as a science of true world's pattern, we intented to explain the concepts and provide some methods of low-level and hyperspace topological invariant Properties. Four major aspects are discussed. Those are connection theory, boundary concept, homotopy group, knot Pattern theory as topological invariant properties. Then we intented to make understand topological characteristics of the Algorithms, luring machine, cellular automata, string theory, membrane, DNA and supramolecular chemistry. In fine, the topological invariant properties of the digital architecture as genetic algorithms based on self-organization and heterogeneous networks of interacting actors can be analyzed and used as a critical tool. Therefore topology can be provided endless possibilities for architecture, designers and scientists intended in expressing the more complex and organic patterns of nature as life.

심전도 신호는 일반적으로 200Hz 이상의 주파수로 표본화 하므로 장시간의 심전도 신호를 획득할 경우 데이터가 방대해진다. 이러한 신호를 저장 및 전송하기 위해서는 효율적인 신호 압축을 필요로 한다. 본 논문에서는 B-spline 근사화를 이용하여 심전도 신호를 압축하는 방법을 제안한다. B-spline 곡선의 국부적 제어성(local controllability) 특성으로 인하여 원신호를 부분적으로 근사화할 수 있으며, 이를 통하여 방대한 심전도 신호를 압축할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 응용수학의 근사이론 및 기하학적 모델링에 널리 사용되고 있는 비균일 B-spline 근사화 기법으로 효율적인 압축 방안을 제시한다. 제안한 알고리즘의 유효성을 확인하기 위해 실제 심전도 임상 데이터인 MIT-BIH 데이터베이스를 이용하여 실험을 수행하며, 그 결과로부터 제안한 기법을 이용한 B-spline 근사화 압축 방법의 효용성을 입증한다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of hospice nurses on spiritual care. Methods: Data was collected from 9 hospice nurses by using in-depth interview. The main questions include what they understand as spiritual care, when they feel the needs of spiritual care, how they perform spiritual care, and what is the outcome of spiritual care. The data was analyzed by grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss and Corbin. Results: The core category of experience of hospice nurses on spiritual care was identified as "Untie a knot of mind". In the process of spiritual care in hospice nurses was consisted of soothing, dwelling with, releasing, giving meaning, plunging, and going beyond a life. Conclusion: The result of this study was expected to give useful information to nurses and nursing managers about the real situation of performance of spiritual care. The findings of this study contributes to developing programs and supportive policies for encouraging spiritual care.
