My Inventions & Other Essays (Heathen Edition)
Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) was an eccentric and reclusive Serbian-American inventor, electrical and mechanical engineer, and futurist best known for his lifelong feud with Thomas Edison, pioneering wireless technology, and his many contributions to the design of modern alternating current (AC) electricity. His autobiography My Inventions, originally serialized in six parts in the monthly tech magazine Electrical Experimenter in 1919, finds the famous inventor recalling his formative years and expounding on his major discoveries and inventions - including the rotating magnetic field, the magnifying transmitter, and the Tesla coil - before ending with a rumination on the failure of his Wardenclyffe Tower, and eye-opening explanations of weather manipulation and (what a modern reader can only describe as) UFO technology! This volume also includes nine additional articles, six of which Tesla penned for EE that same year.

A Culture of Sustainability
This book will help the general reader understand sustainability and the role of culture in making our world sustainable. At the beginning, it distinguishes between sustainable development, which focuses on growth to meet human needs, and sustainability, which also seeks balance with nature. It provides a simple explanation of the environment, including clear descriptions of the biosphere, biomes, and ecosystems. It explains culture and its growth through human interactions with the environment, with reference to hunter-gatherer, agricultural, and city cultures. It explores how technology grew with social expectations, and how the Earth came to be considered a warehouse of resources for human use. It points out three elements - technical solutions, changes to the built environment, and changes in behaviour - that created the technological revolution, but which can also be used to achieve sustainability. The book describes a culture of sustainability, its historical roots, how it is growing, and how we can help it grow more quickly. This is done with reference to the current sustainability crisis. The growth of environmental awareness is traced from the conservation movement to the current sustainability movement. This leads to a discussion of international action for sustainable development, explaining and commenting on endeavours such as the Club of Rome, MAB, the Brundtland Commission, ICLEI, the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, Agenda 21, and Agenda 2030. The UN Global Goals (also called the UN Sustainable Development Goals) are discussed in terms of benefits and what could make them easier to implement. An argument is made for strengthening bottom-up leadership for sustainability. This is followed by two chapters on approaches that do this - Biosphere Reserves and Biosphere Eco-Cities. Then three future scenarios are described based on top-down leadership, adding bottom-up leadership, and then adding Indigenous elements. The reader is left with the task of developing ideas for personal actions on sustainability to create a better future.

Illustrated with practical examples and case studies, it showcases the transformative impact of these tools in accelerating scientific progress. The exploration of Open Science's integration into public policy and education highlights its crucial role in fostering a more informed society, where decisions are guided by scientific evidence, and education is enriched by open access to scientific knowledge. Concluding, the book contemplates the future of Open Science, reflecting on expected advancements and remaining challenges. This final contemplation is not just a summary but a call to action for researchers, educators, policymakers, and the public to actively engage in this movement, emphasizing the democratization of scientific knowledge's potential to transform society in unprecedented ways.
Ecology and ethnobotany ofAloe macroclada Baker
The ethnobotanical survey carried out at the three sites revealed traditional uses forAloe macroclada in the treatment of digestive ailments, certain metabolic diseases, wounds, gonorrhea and asthma. It has also been used in cosmetology and as a soil protection agent. The flora associated with the target species comprises 44 species belonging to 37 genera and 20 families. The most represented families are: Poaceae, Asteraceae and Fabaceae. In the species-poor, open vegetation zone of Anjeva, density is relatively high, but biomass is low. Where vegetation is richer and more diversified, as observed in Miandrarivo, density is low and biomass high. An adult individual produces an average of 19 to 40 leaves per plant, ranging in size from 40.00 to 64.00 cm long and 10.00 to 12.50 cm wide. Anthropogenic pressures such as bush fires, expansion of cultivable land and illegal collection represent a crucial threat to Aloe macroclada. Appropriate measures must be implemented to reduce these harmful human activities.
Prosystemin
Plants live in a complex environment suffering various stress constraints. To counteract stress condition plants have evolved sophisticated defense systems. In tomato plants a key role in defense is played by systemin (Sys), an octadecapeptide, released upon leaf damage from a larger precursor, prosystemin (Prosys). Considering the need to reduce the agro-chemicals we investigated foliar and hydroponic application of Sys to tomato plants that increased both direct and indirect defenses (Chapter 1): treated plants strongly reduce growth and vitality of Spodoptera littoralis larvae also damaging the development of future insect generations. In addition, Sys treated plants reduce leaves colonization of the necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea and have an increased level of attractiveness of natural herbivores antagonists. In order to investigate the molecular mechanism underpinning Prosys' defence activation, a prediction study of protein-protein interactions (PPIs) was done (Chapter 2). More than 16000 interactions were captured from the interactome query and, among them, 98 Prosys direct interactors were catalogued using GO terms. Prosys sub-network evidenced that Prosys links with two large groups of kinases and transcription factors confirming that the precursor is associated with the very early steps of plant stress perception. Prosys PPIs were also investigated in vitro and in vivo (Chapter 3). Affinity Purification Mass Spectrometry (AP-MS) detected more than 300 Prosys interactors. Some PPIs were validated through BiFC. Overall, the results proved that Sys is a very effective plant protectant, and its use could reduce the application of chemical pesticide while Prosys is involved in a large number of interactions possibly due to its ID structure and consequent biological function.
Medical Toxicology
Part of the "What Do I Do Now: Emergency Medicine" series, Medical Toxicology is an interactive, case-based book that covers content not found in most general specialty textbooks, and gives readers the opportunity to prepare for board certification and recertification, and to gain medical toxicology expertise without the need to perform a deep dive into the literature. The 34 chapters go beyond the basics of common and dangerous toxicities and provide the next step of care for complicated cases, as well as backgrounds to the pathophysiology of severe overdoses. It also addresses multiple overdoses, poisonings, and envenomations and supplements the information and recommendations of a poison center or toxicologist by providing background reasoning when a deep dive into a particular topic is not possible. Readers who are medical students, residents, advanced practice providers, staff physicians in emergency departments, hospitalists, and critical care providers will all find the content in this book stimulating, interactive, and a reliable resource that replicates a curbside consult with an expert.

Highpoints of the United States
The highpoints of the fifty states range from Alaska's 20,310-foot-high Mount McKinley to 345 feet at Lakewood Park in Florida. Some highpoints, such as Mount Mitchell in North Carolina and New Hampshire's Mount Washington, can be reached by car on a sightseeing drive. Others, including Colorado's Mount Elbert or Mount Marcy in New York, are accessible as wilderness day hikes. Still others, such as Mount Rainier in Washington or Gannett Peak in Wyoming, are strenuous and risky mountaineering challenges that should be attempted only by experienced climbers. Whatever your level of skill and interest, these varied highpoints offer a diverse range of experiences. The third edition of this classic guide updates route descriptions and maps, changes to private property ownership and public lands requirements, lists of guides and outfitters, and essential online resources. As with the two popular previous editions, Highpoints of the United States is arranged alphabetically by state, each site description accompanied with a map, photographs, information on trailhead, main and alternative routes, elevation gain, conditions, historical and natural history notes, and lists of potential guides or outfitters. Appendices include a list of highpoints by region and by elevation, useful resources, and a personal log for the unashamed "peak-bagger." Whether you're an armchair hiker or a seasoned climber, interested only in your state's highest point or all fifty, this book will be an invaluable companion and reference.
Plough Quarterly No. 39 - The Riddle of Nature
What is our place in nature?Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have has exercised unprecedented dominance over nature, with consequences that are now catching up with us. Many have pointed to Christianity as a culprit. Yet Christianity actually teaches that our relationship to nature should not be one of contempt or disassociation. Rather, according to ancient church tradition, nature is a book to be read, revealing truths about its creator and ours. At a time when many moderns are unsure of what difference, if any, marks us out from other living beings on our planet, and of what our place in the natural world ought to be, what might nature itself tell us about how to live within it?On this theme: Peter Mommsen asks if humans should live by nature's laws.Colin Boller interviews farmers successfully shifting to regenerative agriculture.Caroline Moore introduces some of Britain's amazing moths.Daniel Stulac wonders what the Promised Land means in Saskatchewan.Clare Coffey defends dandelions in lawns.Rhys Laverty reports on man's battle with the sea at the Alderney breakwater.William Thomas Okie explores the old idea that plants reveal their uses.Greta Gaffin looks at our relationship to wolves, and Saint Francis's.Norann Voll remembers lambing with her father.Tim Maendel finds peace by hunting.Erik Varden asks if the Christian teaching on chastity is unnatural.David McBride translates "The Leper of Abercuawg," an old Welsh poem.Maureen Swinger watches meteor showers.

Fractal Cosmos Theory
This book gives a new basis for Cosmos Theory in a zero dimension mathematical point and a fractal, Hilbert-like creation of Cosmos spaces with each step in the construction process. It has identical features to the Cosmos Theory created from a consideration of the number of quantum field creation and annihilation operators. The new Cosmos basis gives structure to our universe and has the fundamental fermion spectrum and internal symmetries observed experimentally in the Standard Model. The book has the following points: 1. A description of the Hilbert fractal curve construction.2. A map of a Hilbert curve construction from one to two dimensions, augmented with a construction from a zero dimension point to a one dimension line. This zero to two construction yields the Cosmos Theory spaces with every step corresponding to a Cosmos space. The construction takes a zero dimension point to two dimension fractal grid.3. An ultimate creation without a prior dynamics. Creation from nothing.4. A demonstration of the transformation of the set of Cosmos spaces into a type of fractal curve.5. An outline of the Unified SuperStandard Theory predicted by Cosmos Theory.6. A chaos of universes with form given by a Planckian distribution. The model implies 23 universes of the types of various Cosmos spaces.7. A discussion of a "confinement" of dimensions analogous to quark confinement.8. A definition of a Peano-like fractal curve construction based on powers of 3 that accommodates multi-quark "particles" that we call quarkium-9, quarkium-27 and so on.9. A Planckian model for the Quark Core of a neutron star that describes its quarkium-9 and quarkium-27 content.

Dactylography or the Study of Finger-Prints
"Dactylography or the Study of Finger-Prints" is a seminal work authored by Henry Faulds, a Scottish physician, and missionary, within the past due nineteenth century. Published in the medical journal "Nature" in 1880, Faulds's groundbreaking paper laid the inspiration for the systematic study and application of fingerprint identification in forensic technological know-how. Faulds's paintings brought the concept of the use of fingerprints as a completely unique and permanent means of identification. He argued that the one-of-a-kind ridge styles on human fingertips may want to function a reliable technique for crook identification and forensic research. Faulds also proposed a class gadget for fingerprints, recognizing their individuality and capability for solving crimes. While Faulds's contributions had been to begin with overlooked, the ideas offered in his paper received recognition and have an impact on over the years. Sir Francis Galton and Sir Edward Henry in addition developed and popularized fingerprint identity, with Henry's type device turning into widely followed. Henry Faulds's paintings on dactylography laid the groundwork for modern forensic fingerprint analysis, revolutionizing crook investigations and contributing appreciably to the status quo of fingerprinting as a wellknown forensic device global. His pioneering efforts have left a long-lasting impact on the sector of forensic science, shaping the way regulation enforcement agencies technique criminal identity to at the moment.

Mary Treat
Novelist Barbara Kingsolver cast a fictionalized Mary Treat as a main character in her 2018 bestseller Unsheltered. Since then, many have sought to learn more about the 19th century naturalist whose studies coincided with those of Charles Darwin. With access to the Treat files at the Vineland Historical and Antiquarian Society, biographer Deborah Boerner Ein tells the story of Mary Treat, through these original papers: - Letters from her many correspondents-prominent botanists, entomologists, and other scientists-including letters from Darwin - Correspondence with editors and publishers - Letters from family and friends - Professional and personal documents - Treat's own published works The biographer conducts in-depth research into the life of a little-known, self-taught woman scientist whose contributions to the field of environmental studies were unrecognized by most of the outside world for more than a century. Mary Treat's story is finally brought to light in this book. This special expanded edition includes the 15 known letters sent back and forth between Mary Treat in America and Charles Darwin in England. Darwin corresponded with Treat more than any other female scientist. The transcribed letters, presented in chronological order in the addendum section of this special edition, span their five-year correspondence from 1871 through 1876. The letters allow the reader to get a clear view of the interactions and relationship between these two 19th century scientists. This hardcover edition is perfect for libraries and as a keepsake for scientists, particularly biologists and ecologists.
Green Pearls of India
It is undeniable that primitive man worshipped trees with singular impartiality in reverence of their life-giving nature. Throughout the world, every culture has formed enduring bonds with trees, and in appreciation of their inherent spiritual value, some have even been singled out for special veneration. India is no different. Here, too, people, irrespective of religion and race, revere and worship trees. In Green Pearls of India: Tracing the Roots of Sacred Trees, V. Sundararaju captures the essence and beauty of 27 such sacred trees. He vividly describes the religious, social, economic, ecological, cultural and medicinal values of each and explores the stories and legends associated with them. 'From the origins of the 'germ-killer' tree and 'sorrow-removing' tree to the trees associated with Lord Shiva and Gautam Buddha, this meticulously researched and richly illustrated book offers us a glimpse of the devotion that our ancient culture has shown towards sacred trees.' A must-read for environmentalists, scholars of religion and ecology, and people interested in the continued connection between spiritual practice and the natural environment, this book not only appreciates the special place that these trees have in our lives but also underscores the fact that communion with nature is indispensable for healing our planet.

Rat Trap
With devastating logic and clarity, Dr Pandora Pound, Research Director at Safer Medicines Trust, comprehensively dismantles the case for animal research, bringing to an end the 150-year-old debate about its value once and for all. Focusing on the science rather than animal suffering - and including no distressing details - she provides a riveting account of how the practice became so well established, before proceeding to painstakingly reveal the futility and shockingly poor quality of most animal studies. Medical progress is being thwarted by an obsolete and harmful practice, but Pound showcases the awe-inspiring technologies, both old and new, that would revolutionise medicine if only it could escape the stranglehold of animal research. Rat Trap slays the many myths about animal research and shows that, far from being a necessary evil, it is one of the most important and urgent scientific issues of our time.'What a corker of a book! A superb analysis of the promises and pitfalls limiting the use of animals in medical research. Lucid and elegantly written. Highly recommended.' -- Dr James Le Fanu, doctor, columnist for the Daily Telegraph and author of Too Many Pills and The Rise and Fall of Modern Medicine.'Beautifully written, her arguments hum with clarity. Destined to be a classic and to make a difference in the world.' -- Dr Ricardo Blaug, political scientist and author of How Power Corrupts.'Dr Pandora Pound transformed the debate on animal experiments in 2004 as lead author of the landmark study 'Where is the evidence that animal research benefits humans?'. Published in the prestigious British Medical Journal, it provoked a storm of controversy - and a series of scientific studies revealing the startling unreliability of animals as surrogates for humans in medical research. As a result, reports of 'breakthroughs' based on animal studies now routinely carry disclaimers about the implications for patients. In Rat Trap, Dr Pound brings us up to date with this deeply controversial issue. She sets out the evidence for animal models being abandoned as a matter of urgency, and shows how resistance from some elements of the scientific community poses a grave threat to medical progress.' -- Robert Matthews, visiting professor in statistical science, Aston University, Birmingham, UK, and author of Chancing It and 25 Big Ideas

Recycling Space Debris
Space debris, or as often called "space junk" accounts for non-useful, artificial materials and pieces floating in space. With a chemical composition of polymers, non metal debris, metals and alloys, oxides, sulfides, carbides and halides, this 'debris' comes from many sources - the most common of them being spacecraft and satellites. Data results from 1957 to 2022 show that all together, the world's annual average of objects launched in space (including probes and landers) surpasses 2000, with the United States being the biggest contributor at 1800 objects launched annually. These objects, when going through collision, breakage, or failure of tenure tend to break apart into small pieces, forming a cycle of revolution around the earth's orbit. Is it possible to create a machine that captures this threat to human space exploration? Something that combines magnetism with net capturing capabilities? The Electromagnetic-Net Carrier is a machine that operates on the collaboration of electromagnetic and hardware engineering domains. It combines properties of net control, capture and release as well as magnetic attraction. The objective of the research is to explore and understand what it takes to create space resourceful for scientists and safe for astronauts.

Science in the Forest, Science in the Past
This book comprises of papers from the second of two workshops involving a group of scholars united in the conviction that the great diversity of knowledge claims and practices for which we have evidence must be taken seriously in their own terms rather than by the yardstick of Western modernity.
New physical world view
IVI SOLPE NEW PHYSICAL WORLD VIEW DIGEST OF ARTICLES The book contains three articles by the author devoted to the fundamental concepts of modern physics and our worldview: time, force interaction, coordinate system. Much attention is paid to the historical aspect of how people's ideas arose in the course of their work. First of all, it is concluded that the concept of time was introduced artificially into the description of mechanical movement, based on the practical experience of people, the need to streamline their daily life and work activities. Gradually, the concept of time became a fundamental physical quantity. It has entered into all theoretical descriptions of physical processes, such as speed, acceleration, and manifests itself in the coordinate system, as a segment of the path, etc. [CODE-ART]
