Homfly Polynomials of Generalized Hopf Links
Following the recent work by T.-H. Chan in [HOMFLY polynomial of some
generalized Hopf links, J. Knot Theory Ramif. 9 (2000) 865--883] on reverse
string parallels of the Hopf link we give an alternative approach to finding
the Homfly polynomials of these links, based on the Homfly skein of the
annulus. We establish that two natural skein maps have distinct eigenvalues,
answering a question raised by Chan, and use this result to calculate the
Homfly polynomial of some more general reverse string satellites of the Hopf
link.Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at

Species Profiles: Life Histories and Environmental Requirements of Coastal Fishes and Invertebrates (Mid-Atlantic): Bay anchovy
The bay anchovy
occurs along the Atlantic and Gulf
of Mexico coasts, from Cape Cod,
Massachusetts, to Yucatan, Mexico
(Hildebrand 1963), except for the
Florida Keys where it is apparently
absent (Daly 1970). (PDF contains 22 pages
