What is a semiconductor?

E-mail Print PDF

A semiconductor is a material that has an electrical conductivity due to flowing electrons (as opposed to ionic conductivity) which is intermediate in magnitude between that of a conductor and an insulator.

Uses-

Semiconductor devices are all around us. They can be found in just about every commercial product we touch, from the family car to the pocket calculator. Semiconductor devices are contained in television sets, portable radios, stereo equipment, and much more.

Science and industry also rely heavily on semiconductor devices. Research laboratories use these devices in all sorts of electronic instruments to perform tests, measurements, and numerous other experimental tasks. Industrial control systems (such as those used to manufacture automobiles) and automatic telephone exchanges also use semiconductors. Even today heavy-duty versions of the solid-state rectifier diode are being use to convert large amounts of power for electric railroads. Of the many different applications for solid-state devices, space systems, computers, and data processing equipment are some of the largest consumers.

The various types of modem military equipment are literally loaded with semiconductor devices. Many radars, communication, and airborne equipment are transistorized. Data display systems, data processing units, computers, and aircraft guidance-control assemblies are also good examples of electronic equipments that use semiconductor devices. All of the specific applications of semiconductor devices would make a long impressive list. The fact is, semiconductors are being used extensively in commercial products, industry, and the military.

E-mail Print PDF

For the US, the average men's height is 5'10 (178cm) for men and 5'5 (165cm) for women. Height is a good measure of nutrition and economic development. In less developed countries, people are shorter. For example, in China average heights are 164.8 cm (5' 4.9") for men and 154.5 cm (5' 0.8") for women.

Americans are also much taller than before. Average adult Americans are about one inch taller, and 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Mad Cow Disease (vCJD) Cure found, a vaccine!

E-mail Print PDF

Variant Creutzfeld-Jacobs (vCJD), also known as Mad Cow Disease, and vaccine association

Hypothesis: vCJD, the human variant of the Mad Cow disease, can be cured or prevented by a vaccine, most likely an MMR vaccine, but also possible that it is a meningitis or similar common vaccine.

Abstract: I had an unexplainable progressive cognitive decline as I got older that, I now believe, was caused by vCJD, and cured by a vaccine, most likely an MMR vaccine.

I was born in 1980 in Moscow, Russia. I do not know what, if any, vaccines I received as a child. I came to US in 1993. Virtually all my life, but specifically starting at about 12 years old, I didn’t feel right. I was not like other kids. I was shy. I was afraid of many things. I always felt a little dizzy and disoriented. I was above a 4.0 student up to 11th grade. In 11th grade, my grades rapidly declined. I found it harder to study and concentrate. At 19, I was completely disoriented. Although I could sense there was something wrong with me mentally, I could not figure out what. I also had trouble relating to people, keeping friends or relationships. And I also felt that this mental abnormality was slowly getting worse.

I moved to Boston from Los Angeles in 1999. I received 3 vaccines when I was 22 at Suffolk University in Boston, MA– tetanus, Hepatits B and MMR. I was feeling very sick at the time. I specifically remember sitting in the nurse’s waiting room with a very bad stomach ache and nausea. I moved back to California in 2001. In 2004, I received my 2nd MMR shot at a private physician’s office. I was still feeling sick at the time. However, I specifically noticed my health started getting better following that 2nd MMR shot.

There should be a special note regarding the circumstances of this 2nd vaccine. I received it at a small private physicians office. I was not given any paperwork. I paid in cash, as far as I can remember it was $70. In 2009, I called this physician’s office requesting my medical record, but they said they lost it. Complaints to medical board and my repeated requests went unanswered. Therefore, the circumstances surrounding this vaccination are suspicious. I know I received a shot, but I don’t have a record of exactly what vaccine it was.

After receiving supposedly the 2nd MMR vaccine in 2004, several things happened. I started living a much more healthy lifestyle. I completely quit smoking and drinking. I still had stomach aches up to about 2008, but much less. My cognitive level increased. I had a much easier time with school work, my grades went up significantly. I also started programming computers and running my own small business. Only one negative thing happened following that 2nd vaccination in 2004. About a month later, I noticed vision in my right eye rapidly decreasing, subsequently I was diagnosed with keratoconus. I now wear an RGP contact lens on my right eye, without it I cannot see anything with my right eye.

I specifically noted a change in myself following the vaccination in 2004. I believe that my symptoms were consistent with vCJD. I proceeded to research everything about vCJD online. A lot of my symptoms were consistent with this disease. I had unexeplaining cognitive decline. The decline was evident by my declining grades, loss of direction in life. The long incubation period is consistent with vCJD. The age at which it affected me was also consistent. At about the age of 26, I was so sick I was literally dying. Average age of vCJD victims at the age of death is about 29.

I contacted various institutions regarding my theory, such as CDC, University of San Francisco Memory and Aging Research Center, the Lancet, and some others. A couple thought my idea was laughable, others did not even respond to me. I am posting this on the Internet in hopes that someone sees this and conducts more research into this very serious disease and the cure that i have postulated.

Origins of man: Aliens & Monkeys

E-mail Print PDF

Origins of Man

ABSTRACT: Man came from cross-breeding of aliens and apes millions of years ago.

I have been pondering the origins of man. The current theory suggests that man comes from the apes and has somehow evolved from the ape. Yet, they are unable to explain why humans have been evolving so rapidly, yet apes have pretty much stayed where they have been for thousands, if not millions of years, pretty much like all the other animals. If you look at the way animals evolve, it has little in common with the way man evolves. Animals do adapt to their natural surroundings, for example birds growing beaks, zoo animals adapting to life in the zoo etc. But if you look at human progress, even a short period of time such as 100 years brings remarkable change.

Modern humans have appeared about 1.5 million years ago (Wikipedia, Human Evolution), they were called Homo Habilis. However, Homo Sapiens, or modern man, has only been around since about 250,000 years ago. The article also notes that human DNA is 98.4 similar to chimp DNA. To summarize, the information points out that humans are very similar to monkeys, yet they have distinct characteristics that monkeys don’t have. In fact, I will go further and state that humans have characteristics that no other animal organism on earth possesses. These characteristics have allowed man to evolve and become the dominant living form on planet earth.

So which characteristics or traits do humans possess that no other animal on earth possesses. Firstly, let’s note superior intellect. It is clear that humans are the smartest beings on the planet. And not just the smartest, but by far the smartest. You could say that humans rule planet Earth. Why are humans given such superiority in nature? Why isn’t there a competing animal or a similarly smart creature? Humans also evolve like no other creature on earth. No other creature has such extensive language, emotions. No other creature has sex just for fun. No other creature possesses a concept of humor or laughter. I could go on and on…

Remarkably, with so many unique characteristics, humans are surprisingly similar to other earthly creatures as well. Humans have hearts, lungs, four appendages like countless other mammals on earth. The way the human body works is almost exactly similar to monkeys, for example, but even not too far from creatures such as cats or dogs. So, to summarize, people are very similar to other mammals, yet very unique in some concepts.

The main question is not why humans are in a lot of ways similar to other mammals, because that is not a mystery. The fact that a lot of earthly mammals share common traits is because that is how organisms on Earth adapt to this planet’s environment and nature (on earth) seems to think that this design (brain, lungs, arms/legs, blood, drink water etc) is the best design for life on this planet. The question is: where do the traits that only humans possess come from? The common answer seems to be: evolution. It seems that a long time ago (estimates range from a million to seven million years), the earliest humans appeared. According to evolution, they had to have come from apes. But why are apes today are almost exactly like apes a thousand, or a million years ago, possibly with only slight variations, and live in exactly the same way and environment as their ancient predecessors, yet human progress seems to be steaming ahead. People change their world very rapidly, if you look at only a hundred years ago compared to today, computers, internet, cars and airplanes did not even exist or were in their infantile stage. So if humans came from apes, what triggered the switch and rapid progress? Was it a mutation? Scientists really have a hard time explaining and even came up with a concept of the missing link. But this link has never been found and is in doubt of ever being found. But why?

Without further adue, I will summarize my theory now. I believe, that human origins lie beyond our planet. Basically, humans are a product of aliens from outer space and apes. I know that there has been theories suggesting that humans origins lie in beings from other planets, but none has suggested the cross breeding of aliens and apes. But, in fact, this theory would completely explain the unique traits of humans, which would come from extraterrestrials and human mammalian qualities, which would come from apes. It has been researched that human DNA is 98.5% similar to apes. Which means that the remaining 1.5% is our extraterrestrial heritage.

What would be a common scenario for how alien dna has come to Earth? Their ship somehow ended up crashing on planet earth. The surviving beings, let’s call them Sebs, and we are not sure on their number, started living on Earth and lived the rest of their life here. Sebs might have had children among themselves firstly, but along the line interbred with monkeys and with time, their pure lifeform disappeared and by pure I mean where your mother and father were pure Sebs without any crossbreeding from Earthly creatures. Why did Sebs picked monkeys as their partners? Sebs might have seen monkeys as similar to them in some characteristics and its hard to say which ones.

Now, we go one thousand years from Sebs crash on earth. Since Sebs are not Sebs now, but a product of monkeys and sebs, they do not possess nearly as much Seb dna as the original extraterrestrial Sebs did. At some point however, Sebs stopped interbreeding with pure monkeys and started interbreeding among themselves and this is how the human race was born. The early hominid possessed a certain mix of Sebs Dna and monkey dna. The percentage of Sebs dna would be a lot smaller than monkey dna and that’s where the 98.5% human dna similarity to humans comes from. We should also point out that the Sebs dna has characteristics that are remarkably different from any earth based dna and this is where the explanation of incredible human progress comes from.

Why, then, did early humans were so underdeveloped compared to todays humans? Because after the initial several Seb generations died out, the new species (sebs and monkeys cross) regressed. The original Sebs had to be an incredibly advanced species, able to build spaceships and fly to other planets and were clearly technologically superior, it’s even hard to imagine to what degree. They might have had knowledge today’s humans can’t even imagine, much less put into production. But, throughout their countless beginning generations and we are talking about millions of years, and due to their limited number (the original Sebs population might have been as few as a few hundred or even less) they regressed. However, the dormant Sebs dna, which resides in every human today, was the force behind human evolution.
