The descendant colored Jones polynomials
No full textWe discuss two realizations of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot, one appearing in an unnoticed work of the second author in 1994 on quantum R-matrices at roots of unity obtained from solutions of the pentagon identity, and another formulated in terms of a sequence of elements of the Habiro ring appearing in recent work of D. Zagier and the first author on the Refined Quantum Modularity Conjecture.We discuss two realizations of the colored Jones polynomials of a knot, one from an unnoticed work of the second author in 1994 on quantum R-matrices at roots of unity obtained from solutions of the pentagon identity, and another one from recent work of D. Zagier and the first author regarding the Refined Quantum Modularity Conjecture, more precisely, the mysterious top row of a matrix of conjectured knot invariants
Visualisation, imagery, and the development of geometrical reasoning
No full textThis report focuses on some aspects of the nature and role of visualisation and imagery in the teaching and learning of mathematics, particularly as a component in the development of geometrical reasoning. Issues briefly addressed include the relationship between imagery and perception, imagery and memory, the nature of dynamic images, and the interaction between imagery and concept development. The report concludes with a series of questions that may provide a suitable programme for research and lays the foundation for further work of the BSRLM geometry working group

Developing geometrical reasoning
No full textThis paper summarises a report (Brown, Jones & Taylor, 2003) to the UK Qualifications and Curriculum Authority of the work of one geometry group. The group was charged with developing and reporting on teaching ideas that focus on the development of geometrical reasoning at the secondary school level. The group was encouraged to explore what is possible both within and beyond the current requirements of the UK National Curriculum and the Key Stage 3 strategy, and to consider the whole attainment range
The Hare and the Tortoise
No full textWhat a treasure! This sideways book is an enchanting expansion of TH, with Jones' special feature of a peep hole in the text pages between full-page illustrations. The peep hole works very effectively spotlighting elements in the pages both coming and going. The telling is traditional but well amplified. Thus, e.g., a hedgehog accompanies the tortoise. The hare awakens so frantic that he carries his new running shoes with him across the finish line! The story early establishes that hare is proud, competitive, and selfishly insensitive. He tells spectators just before his nap that this race is really beneath his dignity. It is ten miles long and lasts from noon until early evening. A wonderful gift!This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First printingCarol Jones
SUPERSEDED: NMJ-morph
No full textPlease see the updated NMJ-morph at https://doi.org/10.7488/ds/1490 . NMJ-morph is an ImageJ-based package for morphometric analysis of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ).The NMJ-morph assessment package comprises:
1. a sample image bank containing twenty example NMJ confocal images (.lsm file format)
N.B. http://datashare.is.ed.ac.uk/handle/10283/647 which is superseded by this dataset, contains tif versions of the images, as well as an identical set of the .lsm image files.
2. a reference guide spreadsheet produced from the sample image bank
3. a blank spreadsheet for training and data collection
4. the image bank has been provided in .tif format, to allow users without access to confocal microscopy software to view the images

Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Lion and the Mouse
No full textA very pleasing sideways book. Like Jones' other two fable books (TMCM, '94, and TH, '96), the special feature of this book is the peep-hole at the center of the page showing the highlight of a coming or past scene, respectively. This book also presents an unusual expanded version of LM. In the beginning, Mouse, who has been living in the hold of the ship Indiana, falls overboard and lands on the shore of a jungle island. Here Lion roars before his nap. Monkey saves Mouse from the jaws of Crocodile. Mouse then falls from Monkey's back right onto Lion's nose. Later he almost falls into Hippopotamus' mouth and wakes up facing Python, who is about to swallow him. After releasing Lion, he rides back to the Indiana on the back of Turtle. Delightful art, with charming little side-pieces on the text pages.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First printingCarol Jone
