The two links from that table are given by minimal ten crossing almost alternating representations, and all the other KLs with n=8 crossings are given by minimal nine crossing representations.

For n=9 we have the following results:
 
947 8*-2 0  8*2 1-         949 -2 0:2:2  2 1-:2:2 
9592 (3,2) -(2,2)  (3,2)(3 1-,2)          9602 (2 1,2)-(2,2)  (2 1,2)(3 1-,2) 
9612 2:-2 0:-2 0  2 0.1-.2.2:2 0          9203 .(2,2-)  .(2,2+-
9173 3,2,2,2- -  3,2,2,3 1-         9193 (2,2+)-(2,2)  (2,2+)(3 1-,2)

From 42 non-alternating knots for n=10, thirty nine of them can be given by almost alternating minimal eleven crossing representations, and only three of them, 10152, 10153 and 10154, have 12-crossing minimal almost alternating representations. They are given in the following table, which does not include non-alternating knots described in general form as a1,a2,a3- = a1,a2,a3+- or (a1,a2) (a3,a4-) = (a1,a2) (a3,a4+-).
