  • The twisted torus knots and the primitive/Seifert knots both lie on a genus 2 Heegaard surface of $S^3$. In [5], J. Dean used the twisted torus knots to provide an abundance of examples of primitive/Seifert knots. Also he showed that not all twisted torus knots are primitive/Seifert knots. In this paper, we study the other inclusion. In other words, it shows that not all primitive/Seifert knots are twisted torus knot position. In fact, we give infinitely many primitive/Seifert knots that are not twisted torus knot position.

  • In this paper, we consider a criterion on primitive roots modulo p where p is the prime of the form $p=2^kq+1$, q odd prime. For such p we also consider the least primitive root modulo p. Also, we deal with certain isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over finite fields.

  • Physics simulation is an important part of many interactive 2D applications and collision detection and response is key component of this simulation. While methods for reducing the number of collision tests that need to be performed has been well researched, methods for performing the final checks with collision primitives have seen little recent development. This paper presents a new collision primitive, the n-arc, constructed from piecewise circular curves or biarcs. An algorithm for performing a collision check between these primitives is presented and compared to a convex polygon primitive. The n-arc is shown to exhibit similar, though slightly slower, performance to a polygon when no collision occurs, but is considerably faster when a collision does occur. The goodness of fit of the new primitive is also compared to a polygon. While the n-arc often gives a looser fit in terms of area, the continuous tangents of the n-arcs makes them a good choice for organic, soft or curved surfaces.

  • An analysis of handling performance including the compliance effects is performed. Using the primitive design data of suspension systems, a kinematic model and the three kinds of compliance models are developed. The wheel alignments curves are obtained with the multibody dynamic analysis program ADAMS. The compliance effects of each model are discussed. Since the proposed analysis only requires the raw design data, the better prediction of wheel behaviors is possible in suspension design stage.

  • In this study, the performance prediction programs for centrifugal pumps are developed. To estimate the losses in the centrifugal pump impellers, two-zone model and TEIS(two elements in series) model are applied to the program. The basic concept of two zone model considers the primary zone that is an isentropic core flow and the secondary zone that is non-isentropic region at the impeller exit. The flows through two different zones mixed out at the impeller exit and the mixing process occurs with an increase in entropy, a decrease in total pressure. The level of the core flow diffusion in a impeller was calculated using TEIS(two elements in series) model. The effects of various parameters which are used in this program on the prediction of head and efficiency are discussed. The correlation curves to select the effectiveness of the primitive TEIS model were suggested according to the specific speed of the centrifugal pumps.

  • Various geometric modeling techniques for a hull have been developed with wide application of computer to the ship design. Up to now, they are used for the representation of the sculptured surface with the piecewise polynominal curves or surfaces for a conventional hull. In this paper, a convenient and accurate modeling technique that is instancing and blending of the geometry primitives is introduced for a non-conventional hull such as SWATH, trimaran, caisson etc. Geometric characteristics, hydrostatic particulars and stability of the definded hull are calculated.

  • Purpose: This study used receiver operating characteristic curves to analyze Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) medulloblastoma (MB) and primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) outcome data. The aim of this study was to identify and optimize predictive outcome models. Materials and Methods: Patients diagnosed from 1973 to 2009 were selected for analysis of socio-economic, staging and treatment factors available in the SEER database for MB and PNET. For the risk modeling, each factor was fitted by a generalized linear model to predict the outcome (brain cancer specific death, yes/no). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was computed. Similar strata were combined to construct the most parsimonious models. A Monte Carlo algorithm was used to estimate the modeling errors. Results: There were 3,702 patients included in this study. The mean follow up time (S.D.) was 73.7 (86.2) months. Some 40% of the patients were female and the mean (S.D.) age was 16.5 (16.6) years. There were more adult MB/PNET patients listed from SEER data than pediatric and young adult patients. Only 12% of patients were staged. The SEER staging has the highest ROC (S.D.) area of 0.55 (0.05) among the factors tested. We simplified the 3-layered risk levels (local, regional, distant) to a simpler non-metastatic (I and II) versus metastatic (III) model. The ROC area (S.D.) of the 2-tiered model was 0.57 (0.04). Conclusions: ROC analysis optimized the most predictive SEER staging model. The high under staging rate may have prevented patients from selecting definitive radiotherapy after surgery.

  • Let K be a number field and L a finite abelian extension of K. Let E be an elliptic curve defined over K. The restriction of scalars ResKLE decomposes (up to isogeny) into abelian varieties over K $$Res^L_KE{\sim}{\bigoplus_{F{\in}S}}A_F,$$ where S is the set of cyclic extensions of K in L. It is known that if L is a quadratic extension, then AL is the quadratic twist of E. In this paper, we consider the case that K is a number field containing a primitive third root of unity, $L=K({\sqrt[3]{D}})$ is the cyclic cubic extension of K for some D ∈ K×/(K×)3, E = Ea : y2 = x3 + a is an elliptic curve with j-invariant 0 defined over K, and EaD : y2 = x3 + aD2 is the cubic twist of Ea. In this case, we prove AL is isogenous over K to $E_a^D{\times}E_a^{D^2}$ and a property of the Selmer rank of AL, which is a cubic analogue of a theorem of Mazur and Rubin on quadratic twists.

  • Electric transmission towers are facilities to transport electrical power from a plant to an electrical substation. The towers are connected using power lines that are installed with a proper sag by loosening the cable to lower the tension and to secure the sufficient clearance from the ground or nearby objects. The power line sag may extend over the tolerance due to the weather such as strong winds, temperature changes, and a heavy snowfall. Therefore the periodical mapping of the power lines is required but the poor accessibility to the power lines limit the work because most power lines are placed at the mountain area. In addition, the manual mapping of the power lines is also time-consuming either using the terrestrial surveying or the aerial surveying. Therefore we utilized multiple overlapping images acquired from a low-cost drone to automatically reconstruct the power lines in the object space. Two overlapping images are selected for epipolar image resampling, followed by the line extraction for the resampled images and the redundant images. The extracted lines from the epipolar images are matched together and reconstructed for the power lines primitive that are noisy because of the multiple line matches. They are filtered using the extracted line information from the redundant images for final power lines points. The experiment result showed that the proposed method successfully generated parabolic curves of power lines by interpolating the power lines points though the line extraction and reconstruction were not complete in some part due to the lack of the image contrast.
