The document reports on a study that analyzed a sample of uraninite before and after exposure to John Hutchison's scalar wave device. Key findings include:
1) After exposure, the uraninite sample showed a lower radioactivity level and visual changes.
2) EDX analysis found new elements in the exposed sample, including gold and lead, suggesting acceleration of uranium's normal radioactive decay process.
3) The presence of gold is difficult to explain but could result from exotic nuclear reactions enabled by the device's scalar waves.
4) More analysis is needed to confirm the results.

Imaging, spectroscopy and manipulation of C60 molecule on semiconductor surf...Cristina Chiutu
Scanning probe microscopy techniques were employed to investigate C60 molecules adsorbed on Si(111)-(7x7) and Ag-Si(111)-(√3x√3)R30o using imaging, spectroscopy, and manipulation methods. First, dynamic scanning tunnelling microscopy revealed the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital features of C60 molecules adsorbed on Si(111)-(7x7) with extremely high resolution at 77 K. Experimental data were compared with Hückel molecular orbital theory simulations to determine the orientation of the molecules on these surfaces. Second, C60 molecules were imaged with a qPlus atomic force microscope, in the attractive force regime and appeared as bright spherical protrusions. The potential energy of interaction between the AFM tip and C60 molecules adsorbed on Si(111)-(7x7) was quantified by force spectroscopy.
Furthermore, a C60 molecule was transferred to the scanning probe microscope tip and used as molecular probe to image the Si(111)-(7x7) surface and other C60 molecules. The on-tip C60 molecule was imaged with high precision. Hückel molecular orbital theory calculations accurately predicted the shape and characteristics of molecular orbitals observed with dynamic scanning tunnelling microscopy, which were strongly dependent on molecular symmetry, orientation, and adsorption angle. Using qPlus atomic force microscopy, chemical reactivity was probed close to or at the carbon atom positions in the C60 cage. Density functional theory simulations showed that an (iono)covalent bond formed between a carbon atom and the underlying Si adatom was responsible for contrast formation.
The pair potential for two C60 molecules was also determined experimentally and found to be in very good agreement with the Girifalco potential (Girifalco, L.A., J. Phys. Chem., 1992. 96(2): p. 858). Using Hückel molecular orbital theory, the mutual orientation of a C60 molecule adsorbed on the STM/AFM tip and a C60 molecule adsorbed on the Si(111)-(7x7) surface was determined via comparison of simulated images to the experimental data. Individual C60 molecules were also manipulated with qPlus atomic force microscopy.
Manipulation of single C60 molecules was performed on the Ag-Si(111)-(√3x√3)R30o surface using scanning tunnelling microscopy at room temperature and at 100 K. The interaction was predominantly attractive. Due to weak molecule-substrate interaction, a short-range chemical force between the C60 molecule and the tip was considered to be responsible for the manipulation process.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

1. Preliminary Analysis Report on Utah Uraninite Sample-
Before and After Exposure to Scalar Wave Device Invented
by John Hutchison
3 May, 2012
Report Author: Steve Colbern
Experimental Procedure
A small (~1 cm X 1 cm X 0.5 cm) chunk of Utah uraninite was broken off of the main mass and
tested for radioactivity using a CDV-700 geiger counter.
The sample was then sent to John and Nancy Hutchison. The smaller chunk of uraninite was
exposed to scalar electromagnetic radiation from a device which was designed to accelerate
radioactive decay. The exposure time was approximately 30 days, during which time the sample
changed visibly in appearance, and became less black, with some golden yellow hues.
After exposure to the device, the smaller sample was sent back to the author and re-tested on the
CDV-700 counter.
Small pieces of both the main mass of uraninite and the exposed uraninite chunk were then
broken off, mounted on aluminum posts with carbon tape, and analyzed by Energy Dispersive X-
Ray (EDX) elemental analysis.
Results
Geiger Counter Testing Data
Before exposure to the scalar radiation, approximately 75,000 counts per minute (cpm) were
detected with the sample 0.5 cm from the detector tube, and the tube window open. After
exposure, approximately 50,000 cpm were detected from the sample, under the same conditions
as before.
EDX Data
Figures 1 and 2 show the EDX spectra of the sample before and after exposure to the scalar
radiation from John Hutchison’s device. Elements detected in the sample before exposure
included carbon (C), oxygen (O), magnesium (Mg), aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), calcium (Ca),
vanadium (V), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), and uranium (U).
Several more elements were detected in the exposed uraninite sample (Figure 2), including sulfur
(S), potassium (K), titanium (Ti), copper (Cu), gold (Au), and lead (Pb).
Tables 1 and 2 show approximate percentages of each element detected.

4. Discussion
The lower specific activity of the uraninite sample after exposure to the scalar radiation is
consistent with acceleration of radioactive decay of the decay products of uranium, which are
responsible for most of the detected radioactivity of natural uranium samples. The level of
activity in each of these samples should be confirmed using a scintillation counter, for more
accurate data on specific radioactivity.
The presence of lead in the experimental (exposed) sample is also consistent with this
hypothesis, as lead 206 (Pb206) is the normal, stable, decay product of the uranium radioactive
decay series (Figures 3 and 4).
The presence of gold in this sample is more difficult to explain, as gold is not normally formed in
the decay of actinides, such as uranium, and its formation would require that “exotic” nuclear
reactions, which do not normally occur, were active in the experiment.
The presence of gold and lead in the exposed samples should be confirmed by the use of
Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) trace element analysis.
Figure 3-Known Actinide Element Radioactive Decay Chains
A possible mechanism for the production of gold from uranium would involve the gain of a
proton by uranium 238 (U238, abundance in natural uranium 99.3%), and the simultaneous loss of
two neutrons by exchange with another nucleus (perhaps silicon, or potassium), producing
neptunium 237 (Np237).
This type of nuclear reaction would not normally occur at anywhere near room temperature, but
similar events have been reported in the course of cold fusion research. This would be a type of
low energy nuclear reaction (LENR).
If the decay of the neptunium (Figure 4) were accelerated by scalar wave bombardment, bismuth
209 (Bi209) would result. Bi209 is known to be an alpha emitter, with an extremely long half-life,
which decays to thallium 205 (Tl205), which is thought to be stable.
Calculations indicate that several isotopes heavier than tungsten are thermodynamically unstable,
with respect to alpha decay, so it is not unreasonable to postulate that, under scalar wave
bombardment, the alpha decay may continue; first, gold 201 (Au201)would be formed, then
iridium 197 (Ir197).
5. Ir197 would then beta decay to platinum 197 (Pt197), which would also beta decay to stable Au197
(natural gold is monoisotopic, and gold has only one stable isotope).
Figure 4-Uranium Decay Chain (left) and Neptunium Decay Chain (right)
6. Preliminary Conclusions
1) EDX analysis indicates the presence of gold, lead, and several other elements which were
not previously present, in the sample of uraninite exposed to John Hutchison’s scalar
wave radioactive decay accelerator device.
2) The presence of lead, as well as the lower specific activity of the sample which was
exposed to John’s device is consistent with an extreme acceleration of the normal process
of the radioactive decay of uranium and its decay products.
3) The presence of gold is more difficult to explain, and could result from a proton-neutron
exchange reaction of uranium with other nuclei to form Np237, followed by an accelerated
Np radioactive decay chain, followed by alpha decay of nuclei lighter than bismuth,
which are normally thought to be stable.
4) These results should be confirmed by the use of more sensitive analyses for radioactivity
and elemental concentration, such as scintillation counting and ICP-MS.
