Triple bowline larger than the two equal-sized loops. The size of the third loop depends on the length of the bight pulled through the loop. A bowline on the bight is a similar knot to the triple bowline. Instead of wrapping the bight around the standing end and then passing it back through the nipping loop, the two loops are passed through the bight so that it tightens on the standing end. It has only two active or available loops. This is used in rescue situations, especially in a case where there might be an injured person or people, as it forms
Signature of a knot how to compute the "Milnor signature invariants" from this pairing, which are equivalent to the "Tristram-Levine invariant". Signature of a knot The signature of a knot is a topological invariant in knot theory. It may be computed from the Seifert surface. Given a knot "K" in the 3-sphere, it has a Seifert surface "S" whose boundary is "K". The Seifert form of "S" is the pairing formula_1 given by taking the linking number formula_2 where formula_3 and formula_4 indicate the translates of "a" and "b" respectively in the positive and negative directions of the normal bundle to "S". Given a
