What do CSI, Twilight, Indiana Jones, Theoretical Physics and The
Holy Bible all have in common?... According to this book, Blood
From forensic science to vampires to hunting for the Holy Grail,
we, as a culture, by necessity and curiosity, are fascinated by
this gooey material that flows through our veins Red, life-giving,
and one of the greatest enigmas of science, blood becomes the
subject of interest in this thought provoking study of the Bible.
Fundamentally, BLOOD is the most important natural element in
Christendom because of the Sacrifice of Jesus, His Blood and Its
connection to Christian salvation. Drawing from divine inspiration,
the etymology (study) of classic Hebrew and Greek words and other
fields of study, this book attempts to answer two basic questions:
What is the Blood of Jesus and how can "It" actually save us? The
theoretical answer lies inside the pages of this book. The author
invites readers to join him in a sort of "Crime Scene
Investigation" at the foot of that Cross to determine the true
nature of Jesus' Blood.
Indigenous peoples have passed down vital knowledge for generations
from which local plants help cure common ailments, to which parts
of the land are unsuitable for buildings because of earthquakes.
Here, Hendry examines science through these indigenous roots,
problematizing the idea that Western science is the only type that
deserves that name.
Human chemistry is the study of bond-forming and bond-breaking
reactions between people and the structures they form. People often
speak of having either good or bad chemistry together: whereby,
according to consensus, the phenomenon of love is a chemical
reaction. The new science of human chemistry is the study of these
reactions. Historically, human chemistry was founded with the 1809
publication of the classic novella Elective Affinities, by German
polymath Johann von Goethe, a chemical treatise on the origin of
love. Goethe based his human chemistry on Swedish chemist Torbern
Bergman's 1775 chemistry textbook A Dissertation on Elective
Attractions, which itself was founded on Isaac Newton's 1687
supposition that the cause of chemical phenomena may 'all depend
upon certain forces by which the particles of bodies, by some
causes hitherto unknown, are either mutually impelled towards each
other, and cohere in regular figures, or are repelled and recede
from one another'; which thus defines life.
The current global marketplace demands more workers who are
scientifically literate, yet few are being adequately prepared to
meet that demand. Particularly underrepresented are women and
minorities, who often lack the social and academic support that
stimulate and sustain interest in science, math, and engineering.
The authors of this book demonstrate that early intervention,
especially during grades 4 through 8, can help overcome some of
these obstacles. They show how increased career awareness and
exposure to mentors and role models can help students see science
and math-related careers as desirable and viable options. And they
explain how test preparation, activity-based instruction,
cooperative learning, and tutoring can help to improve academic
outcomes. The authors also provide critical information on ten
successful intervention programs, including MESA, Project SEED, and
Operation SMART - and they offer practitioners specific guidance
for developing, funding, and implementing similar programs in their
own schools.
Most diets fail because they rely on willpower alone. In this book
surgeon and expert on metabolism Dr Andrew Jenkinson shows you how to
unlock the secret to lasting weight loss through a better understanding
of your brain, body and environment, allowing you to eat well and lose
weight, forever.
Using a combination of cutting-edge metabolic science, together with
strategies like aversion, habit creation and mental reprogramming,
expert in the science of appetite Dr Andrew Jenkinson will show you how
your body and brain work when it comes to what you eat, and how to arm
yourself against the malicious presence of food marketing, junk food
and the harmful effects of the Western diet.
You will learn:
· Why exercise is of secondary importance to energy balance
· How we can learn to 'crave surf', being more mindful of hunger
cravings when they arise
· How junk foods affect our brains, influencing our behaviour and
creating bad habits
· How to maintain a good metabolic rate when losing weight
· The science behind popular weight loss techniques and why they work,
including hot water and lemon; raw foods; time restricted eating; keto
diets and high intensity training

Meet Mickey, an innocent, screaming that the emperor has no
clothes. But no one hears, least of all George, the aristocrat.
George has risen high and, with Bill, the guileful ruler, and the
US Congress protecting him, his confidence swells. As it is, the
circumstances of his life make him feel utterly safe and he becomes
blind to the lurking dangers around him. Enter pragmatic Doug -
no-nonsense, down-to-earth and pesky. He's one who won't suffer
fools and is determined to change the order of things. Now meet
Carlo who sets his sights on greatness and Leon who has the
audacity to oppose the daring Italian. With elements of the looming
conflict in place, the plot rapidly unfolds. Leon joins forces with
Doug and Jay - Doug who is lording it over Bill and Jay who has the
ear of President Reagan. A conspiracy is set in motion. The science
community rumbles, with many crushed in the quaking earth. And the
tale fate has writ plays out to its inevitable end.
ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY by JULIUS ADAMS STRATTON. PREFACE: The
pattern set nearly 70 years ago by Maxwell's Treatise on
Electricity and Magnetism has had a dominant influence on almost
every subse quent English and American text, persisting to the
present day. The Treatise was undertaken with the intention of
presenting a connected account of the entire known body of electric
and magnetic phenomena from the single point of view of Faraday.
Thus it contained little or no mention of the hypotheses put
forward on the Continent in earlier years by Riemann, Weber,
Kirchhoff, Helmholtz, and others. It is by no means clear that the
complete abandonment of these older theories was fortunate for the
later development of physics. So far as the purpose of the Treatise
was to disseminate the ideas of Faraday, it was undoubtedly
fulfilled; as an exposition of the author's own contributions, it
proved less successful. By and large, the theories and doctrines
peculiar to Maxwell the concept of displacement current, the
identity of light and electromagnetic vibrations appeared there in
scarcely greater completeness and perhaps in a less attractive form
than in the original memoirs. We find that all of the first volume
and a large part of the second deal with the stationary state. In
fact only a dozen pages are devoted to the general equations of the
electromagnetic field, 18 to the propagation of plane waves and the
electromagnetic theory of light, and a score more to magnetooptics,
all out of a total of 1,000. The mathematical completeness of
potential theory and the practical utility of circuit theory have
influenced English and American writers in very nearly the same
proportion since that day. Onlythe original and solitary genius of
Heaviside succeeded in breaking away from this course. For an
exploration of the fundamental content of Maxwell's equations one
must turn again to the Continent. There the work of Hertz, Poin
car6, Lorentz, Abraham, and Sommerfeld, together with their
associates and successors, has led to a vastly deeper understanding
of physical phenomena and to industrial developments of tremendous
proportions. The present volume attempts a more adequate treatment
of variable electromagnetic fields and the theory of wave
propagation. Some atten tion is given to the stationary state, but
for the purpose of introducing fundamental concepts under simple
conditions, and always with a view to later application in the
general case. The reader must possess a general knowledge of
electricity and magnetism such as may be acquired from an
elementary course based on the experimental laws of Coulomb,
Amp& re, and Faraday, followed by an intermediate course
dealing with the more general properties of circuits, with
thermionic and electronic devices, and with the elements of
electromagnetic machinery, termi nating in a formulation of
Maxwell's equations. This book takes up at that point. The first
chapter contains a general statement of the equations governing
fields and potentials, a review of the theory of units, reference
material on curvilinear coordinate systems and the elements of
tensor analysis, concluding with a formulation of the field
equations in a space-time continuum.
This book covers essential Microsoft EXCEL (R)'s computational
skills while analyzing introductory physics projects. Topics of
numerical analysis include; multiple graphs on the same sheet,
calculation of descriptive statistical parameters, a 3-point
interpolation, the Euler and the Runge-Kutter methods to solve
equations of motion, the Fourier transform to calculate the normal
modes of a double pendulum, matrix calculations to solve coupled
linear equations of a DC circuit, animation of waves and Lissajous
figures, electric and magnetic field calculations from the Poisson
equation and its 3D surface graphs, variational calculus such as
Fermat's least traveling time principle and the least action
principle. Nelson's stochastic quantum dynamics is also introduced
to draw quantum particle trajectories.
This book presents physical models, backed by experimental results,
explaining the behavior of living matter in relation to
electromagnetic (EM) fields ranging from quasi-stationary state to
optical range. The ability of very low frequency EM fields to cure
diseases (e.g. respiratory infection) is addressed. The bacteria
destruction by non-thermal effects of low frequency electric fields
is explained with the proton nuclear resonance and the DNA
half-wave resonance. The microtubule instabilities are studied.
Explosion of bacteria with acoustic resonance is also modeled.
Centimeter and millimeter-waves effects are discussed. Clues about
interaction with the human brain are given. Effects of a 60 GHz
field on cellular physiology are presented as well as on mice nerve
system. A cell membrane is modeled in near IR to UV ranges. The
capacity of cells to move towards an IR source is explained.
Finally, explanation of cancer mechanisms of the human skin is
proposed with ultra-weak photon energy.
