Nowhere-zero 8-flows in cyclically 5-edge-connected, flow-admissible signed graphs

In 1983, Bouchet proved that every bidirected graph with a nowhere-zero integer-flow has a nowhere-zero 216-flow, and conjectured that 216 could be replaced with 6. This paper shows that for cyclically 5-edge-connected bidirected graphs that number can be replaced with 8.
