DEVELOPMENT OF pH AND TEMPERATURE OSCILLATIONS IN WATER CONTAINING ZnC03 CRYSTALLITES USING INTENTION IMPRINTED ELECTRONIC DEVICES

In this experimental study, two vessels, A and B, of pure water containing 0.4 wt. % sparingly soluble, small ZnC03 crystallites were positioned about 150 feet apart in separate buildings. An Intention Imprinted Electronic Device (lIED) was placed one foot from A. Both pH and temperature were monitored at B. Turning on the lIED at A led to the appearance of both short period (about one hour) and long period (about one day) pH-oscillations at location B plus a marked downward decline of the pH in the direction of the lIED intention. In one experiment, the pH declined a full pH unit in accord with the imprinted intention. In another experiment, shaking the vessel at B to redisperse the fine particles when the lIED was operating at A led to a fall in pH but plateauing somewhat short of the final pH as well as the reappearance of the short period oscillations. For control solutions with no present, no such pH behavior occurred

Many-Particle Cooperative Scattering of X-Rays in the Two-Crystal Spectrometer

It has been emphasized by Guinier and Fournet [1] that low-angle x-ray scattering patterns should theoretically exhibit a relatively high, extremely narrow central maximum because the entire irradiated sample will scatter coherently in the same phase at scattering angles very close to zero. This effect is very small outside of a central region where h=(4π/λ)sin(Φ/2) is less than 2π/d, where d is the average dimension of the sample perpendicular to the incoming beam of x-rays [2]. The magnitude of d is almost always so large that the above effec t occurs at angles too small to be observed. Parratt et al. [3] have called this and similar effects "many-atom cooperative scattering," or "ultra-small-angle" scattering. In this letter, I shall adopt the term "many-particle cooperative scattering" and abbreviate it as "m.p.c. scattering.

TOWARDS OBJECTIFYING INTENTION VIA ELECTRONIC DEVICES

Conventional science would deny the possibility that humans could meaningfully interact with experiments via their focussed intention, and even less so via an intermediary electronic device. Here, via two very different target experiments, that supposition has been experimentally tested and found to be fallacious. For each target experiment, one starts with two identical physical devices, isolates them from each other and "charges" one with the specific intention for the particular experiment. This charging process involved the services of four highly qualified meditators to imprint the device with the specific intention. The devices were then wrapped in aluminum foil and separately shipped, via Federal Express, approximately 2,000 miles to a laboratory where the actual target experiments were conducted by others. The specific intention for experiment 1 was to decrease (increase) the pH of water while that for experiment 2 was to reduce the development time of fruit fly larvae and increase aspects of larval energy metabolism. For experiment 1, robust pH changes in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 pH units (a factor of approximately lOin H+ concentration) relative to the control were observed. For experiment 2, statistically significant (p < 0.005) changes in larval development time and energy metabolism under a variety of environmental circumstances were found. A multidimensional theoretical model (eleven-space) was utilized to account for these results via a structural mechanism in the physical vacuum that allows subtle energies to influence physical reality

Body image disturbance and surgical decision making in egyptian post menopausal breast cancer patients

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In most developing countries, as in Egypt; postmenopausal breast cancer cases are offered a radical form of surgery relying on their unawareness of the subsequent body image disturbance. This study aimed at evaluating the effect of breast cancer surgical choice; Breast Conservative Therapy (BCT) versus Modified Radical Mastectomy (MRM); on body image perception among Egyptian postmenopausal cases.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>One hundred postmenopausal women with breast cancer were divided into 2 groups, one group underwent BCT and the other underwent MRM. Pre- and post-operative assessments of body image distress were done using four scales; Breast Impact of Treatment Scale (BITS), Impact of Event Scale (IES), Situational Discomfort Scale (SDS), and Body Satisfaction Scale (BSS).</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Preoperative assessment showed no statistical significant difference regarding cognitive, affective, behavioral and evaluative components of body image between both studied groups. While in postoperative assessment, women in MRM group showed higher levels of body image distress among cognitive, affective and behavioral aspects.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Body image is an important factor for postmenopausal women with breast cancer in developing countries where that concept is widely ignored. We should not deprive those cases from their right of less mutilating option of treatment as BCT.</p

Eco-cultural niche modeling : New tools for reconstructing the geography and ecology of past human populations

Prehistoric human populations were infuenced by climate change and resulting environmental variability and developed a wide variety of cultural mechanisms to deal with these conditions. In an efort to understand the infuence of environmental factors on prehistoric social and technical systems, there is a need to establish methods with which to model and evaluate the rules and driving forces behind these human-environment interactions. We describe a new set of analytical tools―an approach termed Eco-Cultural Niche Modeling (ECNM)―that can be used to address these issues and to test current hypotheses. This approach’s modeling architectures are used to reconstruct past human systems in the Old and New Worlds, past natural systems within which they operated―namely geological, paleobiological and paleoenvironmental conditions―and also to develop informed hy- potheses concerning the geographic spread, migration, and eco-cultural adaptations of prehistoric human populations. The ECNM approach has recently been developed and explored at two National Science Foundation- and European Science Foundation-funded workshops. We describe the goals and methods of ECNM, the results of the proof-of-concept projects, the analytical issues that remain unresolved, and the potential this approach has to ofer the disciplines of paleoanthropology and archaeolog
