description: We study gravitational wave memory effect in the FRW cosmological model with matter and cosmological constant. Since the background is curved, gravitational radiation develops a tail part arriving after the main signal that travels along the past light cone of the observer. First we discuss first order gravitational wave sourced by a binary system, and find that the tail only gives a negligible memory, in accord with previous results. Then we study the nonlinear memory effect coming from induced gravitational radiation sourced by first order gravitational radiation propagating over cosmological distances. In the light cone part of the induced gravitational wave we find a novel term missed in previous studies of the cosmological memory effect. Furthermore, we show that the induced gravitational wave has a tail part that slowly accumulates after the light cone part has passed and grows to a sizeable magnitude over a cosmological timescale. This tail part of the memory effect will be a new component in the stochastic gravitational wave background.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: Introduction: To examine variation in cause of death for sudden unexpected infant deaths (SUID) and highlight systems' influence on understandings of SUID. Methods: We used SUID Case Registry data (Tennessee (2015-2016); Colorado and Michigan (2011-2015)) (n=1045) and cross-tabulated Case Registry classification with cause of death from ICD-10 codes, death certificates, and Child Death Review. Results: Of all cases, 40.3% had ICD-10 code W75, 43.8% had CDR primary cause of “asphyxia,” and 56.7% had literal text indicating asphyxia. In contrast, 22.1% of cases were classified “explained suffocation with unsafe sleep factors.” Discussion: We identified variability for asphyxial causes. Such variability limits capacity to accurately characterize the burden of SUID. The SUID Case Registry classification system may help compensate for limitations of existing systems

description: BiCh2-based superconductors (Ch: S, Se) are a new series of layered superconductor. However, mechanisms for the emergence of superconductivity in BiCh2-based superconductors have not been clarified. In this study, we have investigated crystal structure of two series of optimally-doped BiCh2-based superconductors, Ce1-xNdxO0.5F0.5BiS2 and LaO0.5F0.5Bi(S1-ySey)2, using powder synchrotron x-ray diffraction in order to reveal the relationship between crystal structure and superconducting properties of the BiCh2-based family. We have found that an enhancement of in-plane chemical pressure would commonly induce bulk superconductivity in both systems. Furthermore, we have revealed that superconducting transition temperature for REO0.5F0.5BiCh2 superconductors could universally be determined by degree of in-plane chemical pressure.

Euastrum duplicato-Verrucosum

description: Euastrum duplicato-verrucosum Kurt Först. & F.Eckert (1964: 353) (Figs 21–25)
 Cell dimensions: length 31–33μm, breadth 22,5–25 μm, apical lobe 16,5–18 μm, isthmus 6,5–7 μm
 Habitat characteristics: Ephemeral puddle in the mountain.
 Material examined: HUEFS 244147.
 Notes: Euastrum duplicato-verrucosum is a rare species, previously known only from the study in which it was described (Förster 1964) from material collected in the Brazilian states of Bahia and Goiás.
The main morphological feature of this species concerns the warts located coarsely at the margins of the lobes and central region of the semicell. Those warts are sometimes double, especially on the lateral lobe. It is likely that this species will be found in the central region of Brazil.

A STUDY OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MATERNAL ANTENATAL VISITATION AND ADHERENCE TO EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING AT 6th MONTH
Creators: name: Sree Sathya Deepthi Dintyala
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: Objective: To examine the association between antenatal visitation and adherence to exclusive breastfeeding at 6 months in Bangladesh.
Methods: This study included 1,958 mother-infant dyads from the Bangladesh Demographic Health Survey (BDHS), 2014. Two-model logistic regression was used for the analysis of the association. 
Results:  451/1958 (23%) children were EBF at 6th month. Women with secondary education had 1.84 times the odds to EBF at 6th month as those with higher education (p-value<0.05). Antenatal care (ANC) from medically trained providers (MTP) had 4.77 times the odds of EBF adherence as receiving ANC from NON-MTP (p-value<0.01). On adjusting for covariates, 4+ ANVs had 2.8 times the odds of EBF adherence at 6 months as no ANVs (p-value<0.01) establishing a mediating effect of place of delivery (POD).
Conclusion: This study substantiates the significant role played by ANV, maternal education, maternal age, ANC provider on EBF at 6 months. The analysis found a positive association between ANV and EBF at 6th month. The findings point to developing initiatives to strengthen quality of ANC, perinatal counseling, and support for BF.

The absence of intraband scattering in a consistent theory of Gilbert damping in metallic ferromagnets

description: Damping of magnetization dynamics in a ferromagnetic metal is usually characterized by the Gilbert parameter alpha. Recent calculations of this quantity, using a formula due to Kambersky, find that it is infinite for a perfect crystal owing to an intraband scattering term which is of third order in the spin-orbit parameter xi This surprising result conflicts with recent work by Costa and Muniz who study damping numerically by direct calculation of the dynamical transverse spin susceptibility in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. We resolve this inconsistency by following the Costa-Muniz approach for a slightly simplified model where it is possible to calculate alpha analytically. We show that to second order in the spin-orbit parameter xi one retrieves the Kambersky result for alpha, but to higher order one does not obtain any divergent intraband terms. The present work goes beyond that of Costa and Muniz by pointing out the necessity of including the effect of long-range Coulomb interaction in calculating damping for large xi. A direct derivation of the Kambersky formula is given which shows clearly the restriction of its validity to second order in xi so that no intraband scattering terms appear. This restriction has an important effect on the damping over a substantial range of impurity content and temperature. The experimental situation is discussed.

description: We fabricated an asymmetric nanoscale SQUID consisting of one nanobridge weak link and one Dayem bridge weak link. The current phase relation of these particular weak links is characterized by multivaluedness and linearity. While the latter is responsible for a particular magnetic field dependence of the critical current (so-called vorticity diamonds), the former enables the possibility of different vorticity states (phase winding numbers) existing at one magnetic field value. In experiments the observed critical current value is stochastic in nature, does not necessarily coincide with the current associated with the lowest energy state and critically depends on the measurement conditions. In this work, we unravel the origin of the observed metastability as a result of the phase dynamics happening during the freezing process and while sweeping the current. Moreover, we employ special measurement protocols to prepare the desired vorticity state and identify the (hidden) phase slip dynamics ruling the detected state of these nanodevices. In order to gain insights into the dynamics of the condensate and, more specifically the hidden phase slips, we performed time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau simulations.

description: The problem of Airwriting Recognition is focused on identifying letters written by movement of finger in free space. It is a type of gesture recognition where the dictionary corresponds to letters in a specific language. In particular, airwriting recognition using sensor data from wrist-worn devices can be used as a medium of user input for applications in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Recognition of in-air trajectories using such wrist-worn devices is limited in literature and forms the basis of the current work. In this paper, we propose an airwriting recognition framework by first encoding the time-series data obtained from a wearable Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on the wrist as images and then utilizing deep learning-based models for identifying the written alphabets. The signals recorded from 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope in IMU are encoded as images using different techniques such as Self Similarity Matrix (SSM), Gramian Angular Field (GAF) and Markov Transition Field (MTF) to form two sets of 3-channel images. These are then fed to two separate classification models and letter prediction is made based on an average of the class conditional probabilities obtained from the two models. Several standard model architectures for image classification such as variants of ResNet, DenseNet, VGGNet, AlexNet and GoogleNet have been utilized. Experiments performed on two publicly available datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed strategy. The code for our implementation will be made available at https://github.com/ayushayt/ImAiR.
John Locke and the Kabbala denudata. Pre-existence, transmigration and personal identity
Creators: name: Di Biase, Giuliana
Publisher: name: Nuovo Giornale di Filosofia della Religione (NGFR)
Year: 2023

description: This paper focuses on John Locke’s interest in pre-existence and transmigration, which emerges in his greatest work An Essay concerning Human Understanding and elsewhere in his writings. It aims to show that this interest was stimulated by his reading of Christian Knorr von Rosenroth’s Kabbala denudata, which gave a prominent position to those theories, and the writings of the Flemish Kabbalist Francis Mercury van Helmont, a strenuous advocate of metempsychosis who collaborated with Knorr on publishing Kabbalistic texts. I argue that Locke was intrigued by their opinions for two important reasons. First of all, both Knorr and van Helmont leveraged these theories to undermine the Christian doctrines of original sin and the eternity of hell, which Locke likewise rejected. Secondly, the controversy stirred up by van Helmont’s opinions brought to the fore the question of what might ensure the preservation of personal identity over time, an issue that was much discussed in the seventeenth century in connection with the two related questions of the immortality of the soul and the resurrection of the body. Locke was particularly interested in these debates, as is shown by the Essay.

description: The entropy production prior to BBN era is one of ways to prevent QCD axion with the decay constant $F_{a}\in[10^{12}{\rm GeV},10^{16}{\rm GeV}]$ from overclosing the universe when the misalignment angle is $θ_{\rm i}=\mathcal{O}(1)$. As such, it is necessarily accompanied by an early matter-dominated era (EMD) provided the entropy production is achieved via the decay of a heavy particle. In this work, we consider the possibility of formation of primordial black holes during the EMD era with the assumption of the enhanced primordial scalar perturbation on small scales ($k>10^{4}{\rm Mpc}^{-1}$). In such a scenario, it is expected that PBHs with axion halo accretion develop to ultracompact minihalos (UCMHs). We study how UCMHs so obtained could be of great use in the experimental search for QCD axion dark matter with $F_{a}\in[10^{12}{\rm GeV},10^{16}{\rm GeV}]$.

description: In this paper we study the phenomenology of stars and galaxies in massive bigravity. We give parameter conditions for the existence of viable star solutions when the radius of the star is much smaller than the Compton wavelength of the graviton. If these parameter conditions are not met, we constrain the ratio between the coupling constants of the two metrics, in order to give viable conditions for e.g. neutron stars. For galaxies, we put constraints on both the Compton wavelength of the graviton and the conformal factor and coupling constants of the two metrics. The relationship between black holes and stars, and whether the former can be formed from the latter, is discussed. We argue that the different asymptotic structure of stars and black holes makes it unlikely that black holes form from the gravitational collapse of stars in massive bigravity.

Euastrum octogibbosum

description: Euastrum octogibbosum Willi Krieg. (1937: 586) (Figs 26–27)
 Cell dimensions: length 19,5–21 μm, breadth 13,5–15 μm, apical lobe 11–12 μm, isthmus 5–6 μm.
 Habitat characteristics: Periphyton; water temperature 21ºC, pH 7.8, conductivity 10 μS. cm-1, dissolved oxygen 9.2 mg.L- 1.
 Material examined: HUEFS 244149.
 Notes: Krieger (1937) proposed Euastrum octogibbosum as a new name for Euastrum coralloides var. subintegrum West & G.S. West (1907: 198) based on specimens from Burma (Myanmar), as that author considered E. coralloides an uncertain species.
 Euastrum octogibbosum is a rare species, with known distributions on the Asian continent (Krieger 1937, Hinode 1955, Scott & Prescott 1961). The main morphological features of this species are trapeziform semicells with four prominent verrucae near the margins of the lobes and a central inflation furnished with 3 verrucae arranged in a circle.
 The Brazilian specimens are closest to Indonesian samples illustrated by Scott & Prescott (1961: Pl 13, Fig. 3, as Euastrum coralloides var. subintegrum), although the central inflation is generally composed of 3 granules instead of a single large and smooth granule as in Asian specimens. That inflation having 3 verrucae was only seen by SEM, as the inflation always appeared to be simply one large spherical protrusion under LM. Euastrum octogibbosum is reported here for the first time for Brazil.

description: The scattering of a Dirac particle has been studied for a quaternionic potential step. In the potential region an additional diffusion solution is obtained. The quaternionic solution which generalizes the complex one presents an amplification of the reflection and transmission rates. A detailed analysis of the quaternionic spinorial velocities sheed new light on the additional solution. For pure quaternionic potentials, the interesting and surprising result of total transmission is found. This suggests that the presence of pure quaternionic potentials cannot be seen by analyzing the reflection or transmission rates. It has be observed by measuring the mean value of some operator.

Euastrum piataense

description: Euastrum piataense G.J.P.Ramos & C.W.N.Moura, sp. nov. (Figs 28–34)
Cells somewhat longer than wide; semicells pyramidal with concave sides; median constriction deep with sinus closed; apical incision open, U-shaped; basal and apical lobes ornamented with spines, apical angles with 1–2 spines; cell wall finely scrobiculate, with 2 spines near the margins of the basal lobes, a pronounced central protuberance, circular; 2 converging scrobicles in the mid-region; chloroplast with two pyrenoids. Zygospore not observed. Cell dimensions: length 70–80 μm, breadth 50–60 μm, apical lobe 30–36 μm, isthmus 14–16 um.
 Holotype: material numbered (HUEFS 244149!) deposited at Herbário da Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, population partially illustrated here in LM (Figs 28–32) and SEM (Fig. 33–34)
 Etymology: The epithet refers to Piatã, type locality.
 Type locality and habitat characteristics: Collected at “Barragem do Dragão” Piatã, Bahia state, Brazil. Lat. 13° 05’ 48” S, Long. 41° 51’ 02” W. Sample collected by G. J. P. Ramos, C. W. N. Moura, F. M. Costa and M. A. Santos s/n (HUEFS 244149) on 13 July 2017. Euastrum piataense occurred in periphyton; water temperature 21ºC, pH 7.8, conductivity 10 μS. cm-1, dissolved oxygen 9.2 mg.L- 1.
 Notes: At first glance, this new species closely resembles Euastrum evolutum (Nordstedt) West & G.S. West (1896: 243) and its forms. The latter species differs, however, by having a polar lobe with a deep, V-shaped incision, as well as semicells with deep interlobar incisions and three granules arranged in a circle in the mid-region. E. evolutum also has cell walls smooth, whereas the new species has cell walls finely scrobiculate.
 Another similar species is E. bidentatum var. peruvianum Willi Krieg. & A.M.Scott (1957: 132), which differs from E. piataense by not having two central scrobicles in the mid-region, and by having an apical V-shaped incision and a number of granules near the lateral margins. Euastrum piataense occurred in large numbers in the sample we examined.

description: Silicon lenses are widely employed to turn a terahertz (THz) focal-plane array into a THz camera. For the first time, we have identified the type of radial distortion caused by such lenses. To this end, we measured all single-pixel far-field radiation patterns of a 15-mm diameter 2.75-mm extended hemispherical silicon lens-integrated 32×32-pixel CMOS camera at 0.652 THz. From this, a beam incidence angle grid has been generated, indicating barrel distortion. The measured beam incidence angle is compared to a previously published closed-form relation between scan angle and feed position for extended hemispherical lenses. The presented results are essential for all beam switching applications based on dielectric extended hemispherical lenses with an elliptical extension realized in the lens center.

Theo-Politische Annäherungen an mystisches Erleben − Revisionen des Heiligen

description: Angesichts der täglich an Bedeutung zunehmenden Thematik von Flucht und Migration stellt sich die Frage auch nach ihrer theologischen Bearbeitung. Wie kann von Mystik angesichts dieser gesellschaftspolitisch drängenden und dringlichen Fragestellung die Rede sein? Kann Heiligkeit in diesem Kontext mehr bedeuten als schlichte Weltflucht? Der folgende Beitrag plädiert für eine Wahrnehmung des Heiligen – nicht im Sinn eines Numinosen, sondern als qualifizierte Sensibilität für Fremdheit. Gastlichkeit, die Aufnahme des fremden Anderen im Eigenen, avanciert in diesem Zusammenhang zu einem neuen Terminus, der zu einer Entdeckung des Heiligen im Alltäglichen einlädt. Angesichts der krisenhaften Gegenwart steht somit zur Debatte, ob und inwieweit ein Hoffnungsglaube oder eine Glaubenshoffnung im 21. Jahrhundert noch statthaft erscheinen. In view of day by day increasing importance of flight and migration, the question also arises as to its theological treatment. How can we speak of mysticism according to this socio-politically pressing and urgent issue? Can holiness in this context mean more than simple flight from the world? The following contribution pleads for a perception of the sacred, not in the sense of a numinous, but as a qualified sensitivity for strangeness. Hospitality, the reception of the foreign other in one’s own, advances in this context to a new term, which invites to a discovery of the sacred in every day life. In regard of the present crisis, the question is whether and to what extent a faith in hope or a hope in faith still seems permissible in the 21st century.

description: The Serre-Green-Naghdi system is a coupled, fully nonlinear system of dispersive evolution equations which approximates the full water wave problem. The system is an extension of the well known shallow-water system to the situation where the waves are long, but not so long that dispersive effects can be neglected. In the current work, the focus is on deriving mass, momentum and energy densities and fluxes associated with the Serre-Green-Naghdi system. These quantities arise from imposing balance equations of the same asymptotic order as the evolution equations. In the case of an even bed, the conservation equations are satisfied exactly by the solutions of the Serre-Green-Naghdi system. The case of variable bathymetry is more complicated, with mass and momentum conservation satisfied exactly, and energy conservation satisfied only in a global sense. In all cases, the quantities found here reduce correctly to the corresponding counterparts in both the Boussinesq and the shallow-water scaling. One consequence of the present analysis is that the energy loss appearing in the shallow-water theory of undular bores is fully compensated by the emergence of oscillations behind the bore front. The situation is analyzed numerically by approximating solutions of the Serre-Green-Naghdi equations using a finite-element discretization coupled with an adaptive Runge-Kutta time integration scheme, and it is found that the energy is indeed conserved nearly to machine precision. As a second application, the shoaling of solitary waves on a plane beach is analyzed. It appears that the Serre-Green-Naghdi equations are capable of predicting both the shape of the free surface and the evolution of kinetic and potential energy with good accuracy in the early stages of shoaling.

description: The global polarization of $Λ/{\bar Λ}$ and the splitting of ${\bar Λ}-Λ$ polarization induced by rotation and magnetic field has been investigated in a dynamical quark model by taking into account the axial vector interaction and the anomalous magnetic moment of quarks. It is found that the rotation leads to the spin polarization of quarks and anti-quarks with the same sign, while the magnetic field to opposite sign, which corresponds to the ${\bar Λ}-Λ$ polarization splitting. The combination of the two effects leads to perfect agreement with experiment data. Quantitatively, the axial vector spin polarization contributes 30$\%$ of the global polarization and the anomalous magnetic moment of quarks contributes 40$\%$ to the splitting of ${\bar Λ}-Λ$ polarization. However, at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} \leq 7.7 \text{GeV}$, it still remains a challenge to reach enough magnitude of the magnetic field at freeze-out.

Oral Care Aides in Nursing Homes

description: The epidemic of poor oral hygiene among nursing home (NH) residents has been well researched and documented for several decades. A high proportion of NH residents do not receive daily mouth care, which leads to tooth loss, increased dental plaque, and periodontal disease. Poor oral hygiene has been found to have an impact on systemic diseases as well, such as malnutrition, heart disease, diabetes complications, and pneumonia. The majority of residents rely on NH staff to provide daily mouth care due to high levels of cognitive and functional impairment.  NH staff are often unable to provide the necessary care due to lack of training, time demands, not understanding its importance, and encountering residents who resist care. Nursing assistants are responsible for bathing, dressing, and grooming; these demands often lead nursing assistants to put mouth care as a last priority. Several evidence-based solutions have been tested to overcome these issues such as mobile dental units, dental nurses, licensed dental hygienists, and staff education, but arguably, the most feasible and promising is the dedicated oral care aide model. 

An oral care aide is a trained nursing assistant whose primary role in the NH is to provide daily mouth care all residents who require assistance. The oral care aide model removes the barriers that nursing assistants often report with having to provide daily mouth care to residents with dementia in addition to providing other activities of daily living care. This paper recommends the employment of one oral care aide per 100-bed NH.  The cost of the oral care aide should be reimbursed by Medicaid and Medicare largely because the cost savings from reduced pneumonia cases and hospitalizations will defray a significant portion of cost of employing the oral care aide. The need for this investment is high. The aging population in the U.S. is increasing and will need long-term care services that include daily oral care.  Compared to previous generations, the current aging population will be more likely to retain their natural teeth when they enter a NH, which ironically will present more challenges because natural teeth are more likely to build up plaque that could lead to systemic disease.

The Mysticism of Chan: the Environment-Enlightenment Nexus

description: This paper analyses the close connection between the natural world, Buddhism in general, and Chan in particular. The nonhuman world has played a crucial role in the infancy of both Buddhism and Chan. However, as Chan developed and expanded to meet the challenges and stay relevant, Chan masters interpreted their religious narratives according to the needs of the time. They preferred human history to natural history. By overemphasizing the personal human experience of enlightenment, Chan seemed to overlook everything else, including the more-than-human world. Thus, environmentalists have accused Chan guilty of a certain degree of anthropocentrism that has contributed to the present environmental crisis. However, a careful study of Chan tradition’s narratives, mainly in gongan, proves that the natural world has always been part of the Chan spiritual practices and enlightenment experience. Rediscovering this environment-enlightenment nexus opens a new religious horizon where Chan mysticism enhances one’s personal enlightenment experience and contributes to environmental protection. Chan shows how nature-inclusive mysticism can help religious traditions stay relevant in the modern world, where secularization theories trumpet the irrelevance of religious and spiritual traditions.

 Notes: Euastrum subcyclopicum var. elongatum has as its main characteristics long spines divergent in the angles of the apical lobe, a large scrobicle in the mid-region of the semicell, and a granule in the supraisthmal region. Large populations of this taxon were observed in the sample studied, although no relevant morphological variations were observed. Regarding its geographic distribution, this variety was only known from its type locality, French Guiana (Thérézien 1985), which makes the present record new for Brazil. It is likely to be endemic to South America, as well as other morphologically similar taxa, such as Euastrum pirassunungae Borge (1918: 58).

description: We study bound states embedded into the continuum of edge states in two-dimensional topological insulators. These states emerge in the presence of a short-range potential of a structural defect coupled to the boundary. In this case the edge states flow around the defect and have two resonances in the local density of states. The bound state in continuum (BIC) arises due to an interference of the resonances when they are close to the degeneracy. We find the condition under which the BIC appears, study the spacial distribution of the electron density, and show that the BIC has a helical structure with an electron current circulating around the defect.

description: We present two machine learning methodologies that are capable of predicting diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) energies with small datasets (~60 DMC calculations in total). The first uses voxel deep neural networks (VDNNs) to predict DMC energy densities using Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) electron densities as input. The second uses kernel ridge regression (KRR) to predict atomic contributions to the DMC total energy using atomic environment vectors as input (we used atom centred symmetry functions, atomic environment vectors from the ANI models, and smooth overlap of atomic positions). We first compare the methodologies on pristine graphene lattices, where we find the KRR methodology performs best in comparison to gradient boosted decision trees, random forest, gaussian process regression, and multilayer perceptrons. In addition, KRR outperforms VDNNs by an order of magnitude. Afterwards, we study the generalizability of KRR to predict the energy barrier associated with a Stone-Wales defect. Lastly, we move from 2D to 3D materials and use KRR to predict total energies of liquid water. In all cases, we find that the KRR models are more accurate than Kohn-Sham DFT and all mean absolute errors are less than chemical accuracy.

description: The method of wavefront shaping to control optical properties of opaque media is a promising technique for authentication applications. One of the main challenges of this technique is the sensitivity of the wavefront-sample coupling to translation and/or rotation. To better understand how translation and rotation affect the wavefront- sample coupling we perform experiments in which we first optimize reflection from an opaque surface--to obtain an optimal wavefront--and then translate or rotate the surface and measure the new reflected intensity pattern. By using the correlation between the optimized and translated or rotated patterns we determine how sensitive the wavefront-sample coupling is. These experiments are performed for different spatial-light-modulator (SLM) bin sizes, beam-spot sizes, and nanoparticle concentrations. We find that all three parameters affect the different positional changes, implying that an optimization scheme can be used to maximize the stability of the wavefront-sample coupling. We also develop a model to simulate sample translation or rotation and its effect on the coupling stability, with the simulation results being qualitatively consistent with experiment.

description: We present a universal knot polynomials for 2- and 3-strand torus knots in adjoint representation, by universalization of appropriate Rosso-Jones formula. According to universality, these polynomials coincide with adjoined colored HOMFLY and Kauffman polynomials at SL and SO/Sp lines on Vogel's plane, and give their exceptional group's counterparts on exceptional line. We demonstrate that [m,n]=[n,m] topological invariance, when applicable, take place on the entire Vogel's plane. We also suggest the universal form of invariant of figure eight knot in adjoint representation, and suggest existence of such universalization for any knot in adjoint and its descendant representation. Properties of universal polynomials and applications of these results are discussed.
