A rational knot or link can be put into a standard alternating format which has horizontal and vertical twist sites (double helices). The number and type of these twist sites are determined by terms of next-to-highest zz-degree in Kauffman's regular isotopy invariant Λ(a,z)Λ(a,z). In particular, for a knot or link with $c…
