Product Description
These original contributions by philosophers and historians of science discuss a range of issues pertaining to the testing of hypotheses in modern physics by observation and experiment.Chapters by Lawrence Sklar, Dudley Shapere, Richard Boyd, R. C. Jeffrey, Peter Achinstein, and Ronald Laymon explore general philosophical themes with applications to modern physics and astrophysics. The themes include the nature of the hypothetico-deductive method, the concept of observation and the validity of the theoretical-observation distinction, the probabilistic basis of confirmation, and the testing of idealizations and approximations.The remaining four chapters focus on the history of particular twentieth-century experiments, the instruments and techniques utilized, and the hypotheses they were designed to test. Peter Galison reviews the development of the bubble chamber; Roger Stuewer recounts a sharp dispute between physicists in Cambridge and Vienna over the interpretation of artificial disintegration experiments; John Rigden provides a history of the magnetic resonance method; and Geoffrey Joseph suggests a statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics that can be used to interpret the Stern-Gerlach and double-slit experiments.This book inaugurates the series, Studies from the Johns Hopkins Center for the History and Philosophy of Science, directed by Peter Achinstein and Owen Hannaway.A Bradford Book. ...

Product Description
Equivalence testing has grown significantly in importance over the last two decades, especially as its relevance to a variety of applications has become understood. Yet published work on the general methodology remains scattered in specialists' journals, and for the most part, it focuses on the relatively narrow topic of bioequivalence assessment.With a far broader perspective, Testing Statistical Hypotheses of Equivalence provides the first comprehensive treatment of statistical equivalence testing. The author addresses a spectrum of specific, two-sided equivalence testing problems, from the one-sample problem with normally distributed observations of fixed known variance to problems involving several samples and multivariate data. The treatment includes a concise review of basic mathematical results on optimal tests for equivalence, and the author makes available on the Internet a collection of computer programs that allow easy implementation of the methods presented.In a field as complex and rich in potential applications as equivalence testing, Testing Statistical Hypotheses of Equivalence stands alone as a coherent reference that furnishes both the theoretical and practical tools needed for dealing with equivalence trials of any complexity and in any phase. ...

Product Description
The Planck aether, discovered by Max Planck in 1911 as the zero point vacuum energy, is here assumed to consist of a densely packed assembly of positive and negative Planck mass particles (positive and negative masses, not positive and negative electric charges), each occupying a Planck length volume, subject to Newton s mechanics, locally interacting by the Planck force. Like Leibniz's monads the Planck mass particles have no 'windows', and are not the source of long-range forces, which arise from collective excitations of the Planck aether. This novel theory explains both quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity as asymptotic low energy approximations, and gives a spectrum of particles greatly resembling the standard model. Einstein's gravitational and Maxwell's electromagnetic equations are unified by the symmetric and antisymmetric wave mode of a vortex sponge, Dirac spinors result from gravitationally interacting bound positive-negative mass vortices, which explains why the mass of an electron is so much smaller than the Planck mass. The phenomenon of charge is for the first time explained to result from the zero point oscillations of Planck mass particles bound in vortex filaments. ... Read more

Aether is Necessary and Real!
Mr. Winterberg is right on with his book. The 'vacuum' of space is energetic and packed with nearly unlimited energetic things, the vacuum itself is seething with virtual and real activity. The vacuum is actually a plenum and that plenum is not only real but usable for energy conversion, matter control and transmission, and much more.

The original electromagnetic equations of James Clerk Maxwell were written in quaternion form, and included higher-dimensional topological information. This opens the door to "hyperspace energy" and electrogravitational coupling. Oliver Heaviside, Gibbs, and others, including Lorentz, "cut down", truncated Maxwell's original equations, thus throwing out overunity (excess energy from the quantum aether plenum), gravity control through electricity, direct tissue healing and regeneration, and more. They called this "mysticism" even though it is fundamental science.

Later on, Nikola Tesla rediscovered this Negative Energy and called it "Radiant Energy", but he was stopped by powerful interests such as JP Morgan who despised the idea of cheap clean energy for the masses. Lorentz further symmetrized the equations of electromagnetics, and thus threw out more overunity potential.

Paul Dirac, the famous physicist, in his monumental equations and work showed that indeed the vacuum is packed full of and made up of these negative energy electrons and other particles that can be tapped and used. He was threatened and suppressed from getting this work out to the people, and his work was intentionally twisted an distorted to make people think he only discovered the positron. Dirac showed that you can "tickle the vacuum" (as Thomas Bearden shows us at [...]) and extract copious amounts of "free" energy from it, and, you can pattern and arrange matter in any shape or form you desire, once you get the right tickling process going.

TD Lee, the famous American Chinese physicist, along with his colleague Yang, won the Nobel Prize in physics in 1957 for their discovery of Broken Symmetry. They showed that every single electrical dipole charge in the universe is constantly gushing out endless energy from the quantum vacuum state; the aether. The unobservable virtual state translates and is converted into the observable electromagnetic and electrostatic energy that powers life, and matter all around us.

Then you have the work of physicists David Bohm and Yakir Aharanov, the famous Bohm-Aharanov Effect/Aharanov-Bohm Effect, which proves that the electromagnetic quantum potentials are real, not "mathematical fictions" like Heaviside and others claimed. The AB Effect has been replicated by independent laboratories around the world, more than 20,000 times over. The "A Field" can be used to produce overunity energy and energy and matter transmission and action at a distance and much more.





In closing, Dr. Winterberg is right on that the aether is real, and it is energetic, all around us, permeates everything, and, can be utilized for power. I suggest you buy a copy or several copies of this book and get the word out.


(PS: Dr. Winterberg himself in the book makes no claims about overunity engines or motors. However, this work lines up with other work that shows that is real.)

Product Description
In this book, Ito presents data on tropical wasps which suggest that kin-selection has been overemphasized as an evolutionary explanation of sociality. He concentrates on the Vespidae (paper wasps and hornets), a group much discussed by evolutionary biologists because it exhibits all stages of social evolution: subsociality, primitive eusociality, and advanced eusociality. The author reports field observations by himself and others in Central America, Asia, and Australia, showing that multiple egg-layers in a nest are not uncommon. Because coexistence of many 'queens' leads to lower relatedness among colony members than in single-queen colonies, he suggests that kin-selection may not be the most powerful force determining observed social patterns. Instead, subsocial wasps may first have aggregated for defense purposes in habitats with a high risk of predation, with mutualistic associations among many queens. Through parental manipulation and then kin selection, differentiation into within-generation castes may have followed. Of interest to all students of ecology, evolution, and behavior, this book beautifully demonstrates the author's ability to combine wide-ranging data with thoughtful questions. ... Read more

Give the Devil his due
Wasps didn't evolve. They were created by the Devil himself. The wasp is the Devil's failed attempt to create a Western honeybee!

Why have this vital information been left out of our King James Bibles?

It's time to give the Devil his due. Who else than Satan (and his grandma) could be behind EVIL-ution?

:D

Important figures and terms poorly explained, contradicted
This book received a very poor proofreading before going to press.For example, "independent founding" is used early on in two contradictory ways, though this term is conceptually important for theauthor's argument.And the caption tofigure 2.5 is almostincomprehensible, though it sets the stage for what is to follow.All thisand more before page 11.Very disappointing, especially so because it is apublication of Oxford Press. ...

Product Description

Almost four decades of innovative and intensive research on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have brought major advances in our understanding of its pathogenesis, improved tools for diagnosis, and strategies for its treatment. This research has helped build a solid foundation of knowledge in the neurosciences and biological basis of AD and AD-related neurological disorders. Scientific background and insightful hypotheses are of major relevance in order to approach to an effective therapy for this devastating disease.

Current Hypotheses and Research Milestones in Alzheimer's Disease contains 20 seminal chapters by authors with varying views on the neuroanatomical, neuropathological, neuropsychological, neurological, and molecular aspects of AD. These chapters grew out of “Current Hypothesis on Alzheimer’s Disease”, held in Viña del Mar, Chile, in November of 2007. Participants included the world’s leading Alzheimer’s researchers, whose work has illuminated AD investigations during the past few decades.

Students, academics and medical professionals will find this text an invaluable addition to the study of this important subject.

Product Description
The Genomic Potential Hypothesis is a biochemist's view of the origin, evolution, and development of life. The arguments given in this book question the old explanation in order to make room for new thoughts at the sight of the same evidence. It is widely accepted that there is no way to proof a hypothesis, but a current hypothesis can be disproved when science has driven development beyond the foundation of the old model. So it happens that the same data will be presented with a new interpretation and that too is not uncommon in a world that was mostly flat not too long ago.

Evolution is the ripening of the embryonic quasi stem cells of each origin which began to transform, group by group, into the final phenotype in the Cambrian, the least complex ones being first to make their fossil imprint. Once established species do not branch or adapt beyond physiological limits. Stressed beyond these limits a species will suffer extinction. Mutations are not a mechanism to produce new organisms. Therefore there are no intermediate forms and the evolutionary trees are an image created by the sequential ripening of pro-forms and their rapid rise into the fossil scene. ... Read more

Embryos swimming in a fresh water pond!
To overthrow the ruling paradigm in a scientific discipline one needs a much more solid critique than Schwabe offered in this 114-page book. Schwabe thinks it is easy to overthrow Darwinism because all the evidence is against Darwinism and there is no evidence in favour of Darwinism. But anyone trying to do this must not only be an expert on the paradigm at hand, neo-Darwinism, but must also possess a fairly good knowledge of the relevant disciplines, in this case evolutionary biology, genetics, cell-biology, ecology, palaeontology, systematics and developmental biology. Schwabe fails most seriously in the biological disciplines. And chemical reductionism cannot compensate for this. His goal to derive as many as possible properties of life from the laws of chemistry is good mainstream science, and a DNA/gene-centred view is common in the age of genomics. However when organism and its environment entirely disappear from the stage, reductionism is counter-productive. This is especially obvious with his science fiction alternative (embryos in a fresh water pond). At times Schwabe is a good critic of Darwinism, but at other times he just repeats the 15-year-old example of Michael Denton, ignoring that Denton recently adopted common descent and evolution. Multiple origins of life (in a restricted form) is creeping into the textbooks of evolution. To deal with Schwabe's theory kept me busy for months with a mixture of excitement, amazement and a growing disappointment and brought me into every area of biology. It is useful to have an alternative scientific theory for Darwinism, but Schwabe's theory in its extreme form is no viable alternative to natural selection and common descent. Dissenters such as Schwabe maybe critical but not more self-critical than the average mainstream scientist. Both just follow a different paradigm to wherever it leads them. Evolution may have its anomalies and puzzles, I prefer it above science fiction. Gert Korthof ... Read more

Description:
This study addresses the issue of continuous legal enforcement on informed trading. Informed trading widens bid-ask spreads. Past studies show that one time enforcement of insider trading laws decreases bid-ask spread, but does not address repeat or continuous enforcement. Specifically, this study examines the introduction of insider trading laws on the bid-ask spreads in France and Britain. France has a much stronger record of enforcement than Britain does. According to the consistent enforcement hypothesis, French spreads should narrow more than British spreads because laws are made more credible by more enforcement. In France, the bid-ask spread narrows after the introduction of the new insider trading law even after controlling for other factors. The narrowing is related to the size of the spread before the introduction of the law. In Britain, the bid-ask spread does not narrow after the new insider trading law. ... Read more

In consumer and social psychology, salience has beengenerally treated as an attribute of a stimulus, which allows it tostand out and be noticed. Researchers, however, have only vaguelyarticulated the theoretical underpinnings of this term, thus impedinga thorough understanding of the perceptual processes behind its use incomplex marketing communications.
This book presents a theoretical approach for enhancing consumerprocessing and memory of marketing communication. Using schema theoryand an information processing approach, the model introduced here -briefly referred to as the In-salience hypothesis emphasizes thenature of prominence which is intrinsic to any salience constructreviewed in literature. This model is part of wider Dichotictheory of salience, according to which a stimulus is salient eitherwhen it is incongruent in a certain context to a perceiver's schema,or when it is congruent in a certain context to a perceiver'sgoal.
According to the four propositions of the model, in-salientstimuli are better recalled, affect both attention and interpretation,and are moderated by the degree of perceivers' comprehension (i.e.,activation, accessibility, and availability of schemata), andinvolvement (i.e., personal relevance of the stimuli). Results of twoempirical studies on print advertisements show that in-salient admessages have the strongest impact in triggering ad processing which,in turn, leads to consumer awareness. The reading of this book istherefore recommended not only to academic scholars, but also tomarketers especially planning ad campaigns and launches of newproducts. ... Read more
