Nikola Tesla was a Serbian-American inventor and engineer best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Some of his most important accomplishments included developing AC motor and polyphase systems, which helped power industry and enabled the widespread use of electric power. He demonstrated pioneering inventions in fields like wireless energy transmission and fluorescent lighting. However, Tesla often did not patent his inventions, and some of his most ambitious projects were never fully realized due to lack of funding and business support. Nonetheless, Tesla made enormous contributions to electrical engineering and remains an inspiration to inventors today.

When Nikola Tesla died in 1943, the U.S. government confiscated all of his documents. These documents have never been seen since. Some believe that Tesla had developed a free energy source that would have revolutionized the world. Others believe that his technology was so far ahead of its time, that it is still hidden away by the government.
Whatever the truth may be, one thing is certain: Nikola Tesla was a genius who left behind a legacy of unsolved mysteries.
"Sensational data obtained from the inventor's most private papers and kept under wraps by military and big business concerns."
But I really felt that there was a message coming through strongly from something that was touching me saying: "Be free, have joy and live!" and you know, that something here was trying to keep us down, keep us in darkness, keep us under control, keep us away from the magic, keep us away from the knowledge which is the greatest power of all.
Another message is about time, that we are caught up in linear time and a perception of linear time which we look at in moments. What they tell is that that's not how it really is, that in the stream of particles which make up the atomic structure we perceive as reality, that when you really break it down at the subatomic level, there is nothing solid, there's nothing that's solid in nature, and so really based on that there can't be time the way we perceive it, at least this is what they tell me, this is the kind of communications I get.

(NOTE: Americans are so indoctrinated with capitalism that the right-wing conspiracy/spirituality scene creates phantoms like "the cabal" or "Illuminati" to lead away from libertarian/anarchist theory and class consciousness which would use the proper terms like the proletariat against the bourgeoisie or ruling class. The problem with right-wing conspiracy/spirituality is the inability to question market civilization, capitalism and the state themselves or their origins - it has no solid theory and as such relies on putting the blame on scapegoats and minority groups which can be extremely dangerous. The market and the state are the two devil horns of this world. Satan/Saturn/666 is the reason why the same system governs everywhere and why people are enslaved to it in a hive mind state of trance or sleep.
The worst evil is to put a meter on everything: water, electricity, communication, transportation, food, housing etc. - things that are FREE in nature.)
The work of the Demiurge produced corruption and death. Then the Ophis-Christos, born to the Virgin Mariaumne, intervened. The universe and the individual knew an experience subjected to astral influences that the Perates identified with the power of the Archons, agents of the Demiurge. The art of the Serpent-Logos consisted in escaping from it. ―Vaneigem
Corruption is water and nothing destroys the cosmos as rapidly as water; water extends itself under the spherical form of the world (NOTE: Archimedean Dynasty, 1996). It is Chronos (understood to be the external planetary sphere of Saturn, that which encloses all the others). It is a power the color of water and, from this power, that is to say, from Chronos, no creature can escape, because it is thanks to Chronos that all creatures incur corruption and no generation has a place that doesn’t have Chronos as an obstacle along its route. ―Odyssey

The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Cancer cell metabolism: special Reference to Lactate PathwayAADYARAJPANDEY1
Normal Cell Metabolism:
Cellular respiration describes the series of steps that cells use to break down sugar and other chemicals to get the energy we need to function.
Energy is stored in the bonds of glucose and when glucose is broken down, much of that energy is released.
Cell utilize energy in the form of ATP.
The first step of respiration is called glycolysis. In a series of steps, glycolysis breaks glucose into two smaller molecules - a chemical called pyruvate. A small amount of ATP is formed during this process.
Most healthy cells continue the breakdown in a second process, called the Kreb's cycle. The Kreb's cycle allows cells to “burn” the pyruvates made in glycolysis to get more ATP.
The last step in the breakdown of glucose is called oxidative phosphorylation (Ox-Phos).
It takes place in specialized cell structures called mitochondria. This process produces a large amount of ATP. Importantly, cells need oxygen to complete oxidative phosphorylation.
If a cell completes only glycolysis, only 2 molecules of ATP are made per glucose. However, if the cell completes the entire respiration process (glycolysis - Kreb's - oxidative phosphorylation), about 36 molecules of ATP are created, giving it much more energy to use.
IN CANCER CELL:
Unlike healthy cells that "burn" the entire molecule of sugar to capture a large amount of energy as ATP, cancer cells are wasteful.
Cancer cells only partially break down sugar molecules. They overuse the first step of respiration, glycolysis. They frequently do not complete the second step, oxidative phosphorylation.
This results in only 2 molecules of ATP per each glucose molecule instead of the 36 or so ATPs healthy cells gain. As a result, cancer cells need to use a lot more sugar molecules to get enough energy to survive.

introduction to WARBERG PHENOMENA:
WARBURG EFFECT Usually, cancer cells are highly glycolytic (glucose addiction) and take up more glucose than do normal cells from outside.
Otto Heinrich Warburg (; 8 October 1883 – 1 August 1970) In 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology for his "discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.
WARNBURG EFFECT : cancer cells under aerobic (well-oxygenated) conditions to metabolize glucose to lactate (aerobic glycolysis) is known as the Warburg effect. Warburg made the observation that tumor slices consume glucose and secrete lactate at a higher rate than normal tissues.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

3. NIKOLA TESLA
Nikola Tesla was born on July 9/10 (midnight), 1856 in Smiljam, Croatia, to a Serbian family.
His father was an orthodox priest. His mother was unschooled but quite intelligent. Nikola was
a dreamer who loved poetry. He was self-disciplined and compulsive. His principle contribution
to the field of electromagnetic engineering is the discovery of the rotating magnetic field and the
development of the polyphase electrical system [1 p. 161]. Historians credit Tesla with being a
genius because he not only made unique discoveries in electromagnetic engineering but
developed these discoveries into working systems in an area of science that had almost no
existing body of knowledge other than what he himself had uncovered. Pioneering experiments
were also conducted in fluorescent lighting, vacuum tube, radio, robotics, and X-ray technologies
[3 pp. 9-13].
EARLY EXPERIENCES
Circumstances in Nikola’s early life resulted in his imagination being exercised to the extreme.
In his mind, Nikola would see flashes of light and vivid images. These images were not of
imagined subjects, but were familiar scenes. The effect was so intense that it affected his ability
to see. Interestingly, his brother exhibited similar difficulties. To gain relief, Nikola would take
control of his hallucinations by conjuring up his own images—creating his own imaginary world.
He would take imaginary journeys to strange places. These experiences were intense and made
as strong an impression on young Nikola as his real life experiences. He played this game
constantly from early childhood until the age of 17 when he began channeling his thoughts
toward invention [2 p. 11-12].
As an inventor, he was able to eliminate a lot of models, drawings, and experiments by using the
imagination he had developed in childhood to work through the development and trials of a new
idea. He would conduct his first experiments in his imaginary world, noting problems and
making adjustments, thus completing much of the preliminary work before conducting physical
experiments [2 p. 12].
4. 2
The first commercially generated power was direct current. Although alternating current could
be more efficiently transmitted, it was not used because no satisfactory alternating current motor
had been developed. Tesla pondered this problem for many years. Finally, while walking
through a park in Budapest, the idea came to him in a flash. He conceived of a rotating magnetic
field, created by multiple phases of AC power. This concept would eventually permit him to
develop the first successful AC motor [2 p. 22, 23].
In 1882, Tesla worked at a telegraph office. He invented a telephone amplifier, which he didn’t
bother to patent. In the fall of 1882, he went to Paris to work for an Edison subsidiary. He
worked as a troubleshooter at power plants in France and Germany. He wanted to sell Mr.
Edison on his AC power ideas, but was told that Edison was solidly in favor of DC current over
AC. On his own time, he built his first AC motor [2 p. 24, 25].
In 1884, Tesla immigrated to America, bringing a letter of recommendation addressed to Thomas
Edison. He happened to catch Edison at a time when the inventor desperately needed help
maintaining his many DC electrical systems. Edison sent Tesla immediately to repair dynamos
aboard the SS Oregon. Tesla worked through the night to complete the repairs [2 p. 30-31].
Tesla informed Edison that he could make major improvements in Edison’s DC dynamos.
Edison said if he did, there would be $50,000 in it for him. Tesla worked long hours for almost a
year to complete the redesign. He visited Edison and asked about his $50,000. Edison replied,
“Tesla, you don’t understand our American humor.” Tesla resigned [2 p. 33-34]. America was
entering an economic depression and Nikola Tesla found himself working on a New York street
gang from 1886 to 1887 [2 p. 36].
THE ALTERNATING CURRENT SYSTEM
Finally, Tesla’s foreman took him to meet A. K. Brown, manager of Western Union Telegraph
Co. With Brown’s help, Tesla Electric Co. was formed in April 1887. Tesla patented single-
phase, two-phase, and three-phase AC systems, and two AC motors. In the first four years of
5. 3
operation, he was granted 40 patents. The patents were processed quickly since there was
nothing like them at the patent office. Both scientific and business interests took note of the
patent office activity and Tesla was soon receiving invitations to lecture. He turned out to be a
natural speaker [2 p. 36-39].
George Westinghouse had more than 30 AC power systems in operation at the time (under a
different patent) and was interested in Tesla’s motor. Westinghouse paid Tesla a visit at his lab.
Tesla went to work for Westinghouse and moved to Pittsburgh. Tesla’s motors ran at 60 Hz AC
and could not be adapted to the 133 Hz Westinghouse system. Westinghouse was forced to
switch to 60 Hz and this has become the standard electrical power frequency in the U.S. After
several months in Pittsburgh, Tesla returned to New York [2 p.40]. He became a U.S. citizen on
July 30, 1891, a status which he valued above all scientific honors. In September 1891 he went
to Paris to lecture at the International Exposition and also visited his family in Croatia [2 p. 41].
Edison was outraged when he learned of Tesla’s alliance with Westinghouse. He issued
propaganda about the dangers of AC current. Edison conducted weekly demonstrations in which
dogs and cats were electrocuted. Through a third party, he bought rights to Tesla’s AC patents
and worked a deal with New York prison authorities to carry out the first execution by
electrocution on 8/6/1890. The convict failed to die after the first shock and the ordeal had to be
repeated. It was reported as “an awful spectacle, far worse than hanging [2 p, 41-45].”
George Westinghouse became worn down financially by Edison’s anti-alternating current
initiatives. A major obstacle to the ability of Westinghouse to get new funding was his contract
with Tesla to pay him $2.50 for each horsepower manufactured. George Westinghouse appealed
to Tesla to relinquish his claim to the patents. Tesla, interested in seeing his inventions put to
use, agreed and settled for a cash sum [2 p. 48-49].
Tesla proved to be quite a showman on the lecture circuit. He had glass tubes that glowed
without electrical connections. This was the forerunner of the florescent bulb, another invention
he didn’t bother to patent. He wore insulated shoes and allowed high-voltage, high-frequency
electric current to flow across his body. His purpose in doing this was, in part, to counter
6. 4
Edison's propaganda about the danger of AC current. At high frequencies and voltages,
electricity would run across the surface of the skin without penetrating. He demonstrated a
motor run on one wire, with the return path through air. He spoke of the possibility of
transmitting power long distances through the upper atmosphere. One dazzling display was his
“carbon-button lamp,” a partially evacuated glass globe with a piece of carborundum in one end
connected to a single wire terminal. When high-frequency current was applied, “The central
‘button’ of material electrostatically propelled the surrounding gas molecules toward the glass
globe. They were then repelled back toward the button, striking it and heating it to
incandescence [2 p. 54].” The bulb was 20 times as efficient as the Edison bulb. Since a
technical language had not yet evolved to describe these phenomena, Tesla described them
poetically. For example, a static discharge he called a brush or a luminous stream [2 p. 54-55].
George Westinghouse won the contract for electrifying the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893—the
first electrical fair. He invited Tesla to speak. 25 million Americans visited the fair, which was
one-third of the population at the time. Tesla had blown tubes to spell “Welcome Electricians,”
as well as the names of many famous scientists. He dazzled audiences with numerous
demonstrations of high frequency, high-voltage current.
TESLA’S GIFTS TO ENGINEERING
Tesla’s discovery of the rotating magnetic field and his inventions of the transformer and
induction motor were valuable advancements that are still the means for the production,
transmission and use of electrical power today. Less tangible but important contributions were
his inspiring lectures and the ideas he left unpatented. In his dazzling demonstrations, he not
only amazed his audiences but also sparked the interest of many contemporary and future
inventors. It has taken decades for scientists to reproduce some of the experiments he
demonstrated publicly. How Tesla was able to electrically produce a ball of flame and hold it in
his hands remains a mystery. He energized a wave of invention during the late 19th
and early
20th
centuries and continues to inspire engineers today.
