“Beneficial Viruses” For Human Health, Agriculture And Environmental Sustainability — Dr. Marilyn Roossinck, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus, Penn State

Dr. Marilyn Roossinck Ph.D. (https://plantpath.psu.edu/directory/mjr25) is Professor Emeritus of plant pathology, environmental microbiology and biology at Penn State University.

Dr. Roossinck is an expert on viruses, from their evolutionary pressures and mechanisms, to the ecology of viral diseases. She performed some of the first experimental evolution studies on plant viruses and pioneered the first virus discovery work in a terrestrial system, by deep sequencing wild plant samples. A specialty of hers is the symbiotic relationships between plants and so-called “beneficial viruses.”

Another E5 update. At the moment there is a great difference between the control and treated rats. The treated rats are nearing their expected lifespan. And it looks like E5 human trials are trying to be set up.

In this video we report on the Feb 2022 update from Dr. Katcher’s experiment with E5, where he is testing to see how long the rats will stay alive if they are given an E5 injection every 90 days.

LANSING, Mich. — Michigan has finalized a contract to build the country’s first wireless charging road system in Detroit, the state announced Tuesday.

The Michigan Department of Transportation awarded the project to Electreon, an electric vehicle solutions firm that will construct a 1-mile stretch of road open to the public and capable of charging battery-powered cars and trucks in real time.

The road where it will be built hasn’t been selected yet, the state said. It will be located somewhere in Detroit.

American auto magazine Motor Trend is back to rehash its initial predictions for Apple’s yet unannounced “Apple Car”, this time updating it for the “inevitable” autonomous future.

The new report is, once again, a think piece that collates a collection of rumors into Motor Trend’s best guess at what Apple might have in the works.

It doesn’t take long for the publication to reference its first stab at imagining the “Apple Car,” one which wound up being ridiculed for being too “podlike.” Yet, as Motor Trend points out, podlike cars are being developed all over.

When I did my doctoral studies I studied a number of growth disciplines in areas like: complexity science, social network science (relationship and collaboration science), system thinking science, information science, and cognitive science. As a result of this knowledge, I learned how to connect business strategy goals using diverse growth strategies and analyze underlying operating systems that were either enabling relationship strength and growth outcomes or creating negative systemic feedback loops that prevented revenue acceleration.

There is a word in the English language seldom used called quaquaversal which means looking in all directions all at once which represents the field of complexity science and is the reality of the executive mindset that needs to operate in the board room and in today’s fast paced world — *what one sees as relevant today may well be obsolete tomorrow.*

This blog series will explore each of these discipline areas and connect real life examples of AI approaches that are enabling growth acceleration techniques using these science and social science techniques. This is the first blog in this five part blog series and will focus on complexity science.

After analyzing the data, the researchers found that 1.27 million deaths across the globe could be attributed to antimicrobial resistance, whereas 4.95 million deaths were associated with antimicrobial resistance.

Western sub-Saharan Africa had the highest rate of deaths attributable to and associated with antimicrobial resistance.

The study authors also found that the entire region of sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia had the highest rate of both types of deaths.

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have used microscopic strands of DNA to guide the assembly of gel blocks that are visible to the naked eye.

The blocks, which measure up to 2mm in length and contain DNA on their surface, self-assembled in around 10–15 minutes when mixed in a solution, the scientists reported today in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

“These hydrogel blocks are, we believe, the largest objects so far that have been programmed by DNA to form organized structures,” said Dr. Vyankat Sontakke, first author of the study and a postdoctoral researcher in the OIST Nucleic Acid Chemistry and Engineering Unit.
