Introduction: The homo neanderthalis society was matrilineal and the homo sapien society was patrilineal. The homo neanderthalis as described in previous papers had increased actinidic archaeal growth and archaeal magnetite/porphyrin mediated quantal perception. This gave a feeling of collective unconscious and universal oneness. The homo sapiens had decreased actinidic archaeal growth and archaeal magnetite/porphyrin mediated quantal perception was minimal. This gave rise to individuality in homo sapiens as opposed to societal consciousness in homo neanderthalis. The study evaluated actinidic archaeal growth in individuals with different personal characteristic features of socialistic, capitalistic, democratic, dictatorial, feminist, male chauvinist, artistic, creative literary characters, alternate sexuality, eco-conscious, nationalistic and globalised outlook. The results are presented in this study. Materials and Methods:The blood samples were drawn from two groups (a) the neanderthalic matrilineal population with outlook of altruism, primitive communism, socialism, democracy, female dominance, alternate sexuality, creativity in art and literature, spirituality, eco-consciousness, peaceful co-existence and a globalised world (b) the homo sapien patrilineal population with outlook of selfishness, primitive capitalistic, undemocratic, dictatorial, patriarchial, more masculine, less creative in art and literature, non-spiritual and material, heterosexual, exploitative, polluting, nationalistic and with an increased propensity to war. The estimations done in the blood samples collected include cytochrome F420 activity. Results: The results showed that the population with neanderthalic features and characteristics of altruism, primitive communism, socialism, democracy, female dominance, alternate sexuality, creativity in art and literature, spirituality, eco-consciousness, peaceful co-existence and a globalised world had increased cytochrome F420 activity.The results showed that the population with homo sapien features and characteristics of selfishness, primitive capitalistic, undemocratic, dictatorial, patriarchial, more masculine, less creative in art and literature, non-spiritual and material, heterosexual, exploitative, polluting, nationalistic and with an increased propensity to war had increased cytochrome F420 activity. Discussion: The basis of the features of homo neanderthalis society is primitive communism, socialism, democracy, female dominance, alternate sexuality, creativity in art and literature, spirituality, eco-consciousness, peaceful co-existence and a globalised world. The homo sapien society was selfish, primitive capitalistic, undemocratic, dictatorial, patriarchial, more masculine, less creative in art and literature, non-spiritual and material, heterosexual, exploitative, polluting, nationalistic and an increased propensity to war.

Introduction: The interstellar space is filled with star dust which is postulated to be of biological origin. Fred Hoyle in his hypothesis of the life cloud has put forward an extra terrestial origin for life on earth. The existence of an extra terrestial force controlling the genesis and evolution of life on earth has been put forward by many authors. The biocosm theory postulates that the conditions in the universe have been so adjusted to make it possible for life to exist on earth and the universe. This leads to the postulate that the universe exists and reproduces because of life which acts as a quantal observer. This paper deals with the role of extremophilic archaea and RNA viroids extruded from the archaeal cells as primitive anthropomorphic observers making it possible for the universe to exist and evolve. Materials and Methods: The blood samples were drawn from the homo neanderthalic matrilineal species and the homo sapien species. The estimations done in the blood samples collected include cytochrome F420 activity. The generation of RNA viroids in the plasma was studied. Results: The results showed that the matrilineal species of neanderthalic origin had more of archaeal symbiosis while the homo sapien species had more of RNA viroidal symbiosis. Discussion: The Frohlich model of quantal brain function postulates the existence of Bose-Einstein condensates in the brain at normal temperature. There are dipolar magnetite and porphyrin molecules in the brain which in the context of membrane sodium potassium ATPase inhibition can lead onto a pumped phonon system producing Bose-Einstein condensate and bosons in the brain. This boson can become unstable leading onto catastrophic vacuum collapse and the possible extinction of the universe. The Frohlich model of Bose-Einstein condensate formed of magnetic dipolar porphyrins and archaeal magnetite in cellular lipid emulsions can interact with photons generating black holes. This black hole can collapse to singularity. But the collapse happens only upto a particular point following which the density or singularity undergoes a rebounce producing a new universe with a new set of universal constants. Thus the quantal model of brain function can lead onto the destruction and reproduction of universes. The brain can be considered to be a multicellular quantal computing archaeal network in the case of homo neanderthalis. The synaptic networks of the brain parallel the galactic networks of the universe. The brain functions as the quantal universal computer and anthropomorphic observer creating and destroying as well as reproducing universes. This occurs to a lesser extent in the homo sapiens brain. The quantal wave form or the Higgs field gives mass and energy to the particles like protons, neutrons and electrons when it interacts with it. The quantal wave forms can generate porphyrins.

To get first-hand data of test in flapping wing flight, a Flapping-wing Micro-Air-Vehicles experimental prototype was designed. This test prototype was constructed by using the theory of bionics and Micro-Air-Vehicles (MAV) design. Adopts Size-law to determine the initial design parameters; modal analysis to design the structure of the flapping-wings; hirao tail capacity, static stability to design the spoiler and Four-link theory to design the transmission system. With those theory, the test prototype was realized and can flying in the air. The process of prototype design not only provides a useful reference experience for subsequent design in testing prototype, but also provide an experimental platform for the upcoming wind tunnel experiments.

Introduction: Prion proteins have been implicated in systemic disorders like neurodegenerations, cancer and metabolic syndrome. The beta amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease, alpha synuclein in parkinson’s disease, the TAR protein in frontotemporal dementia and copper zinc dismutase in motor neuron disease behaves like prion proteins. Prion proteins like behavior is also seen in the tumour suppressor P53 protein in cancer and the islet cell associated amyloid in diabetes mellitus. Prion diseases are conformational diseases. The abnormal prion protein seeded into the system converts the normal proteins with prion like domains to abnormal configuration. This abnormal protein resists digestion by lysosomal enzymes after its half-life is over and results in deposition of amyloid plaques. This produces organ dysfunction. Prion phenomena were initially described for Creutzfeldt Jakob’s disease, but now it is found to be wide spread in chronic disease pathogenesis. Ribonucleoproteins are well known to behave like prion proteins and form amyloid. We have demonstrated actinidic archaea which secretes RNA viroids in metabolic syndrome, neurodegenerations, cancer, autoimmune disease, schizophrenia, autism and CJD. The RNA viroids can bind with normal proteins with prion like domains eg., superoxide dismutase and produce a ribonucleoprotein resulting in prion phenomena and amyloidogenesis. Materials and Methods: The following groups were included in the study:- alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, metabolic syndrome x with cerebrovascular thrombosis and coronary artery disease, schizophrenia, autism, seizure disorder, creutzfeldt jakob disease and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. There were 10 patients in each group and each patient had an age and sex matched healthy control selected randomly from the general population. The blood samples were drawn in the fasting state before treatment was initiated. Plasma from fasting heparinised blood was used and the experimental protocol was as follows (I) Plasma+phosphate buffered saline, (II) same as I+cholesterol substrate, (III) same as II+cerium 0.1 mg/ml, (IV) same as II+ciprofloxacine and doxycycline each in a concentration of 1 mg/ml. Cholesterol substrate was prepared as described by Richmond. Aliquots were withdrawn at zero time immediately after mixing and after incubation at 37oC for 1 hour. The following estimations were carried out:- Cytochrome F420, free RNA, Cytochrome F420 was estimated flourimetrically (excitation wavelength 420 nm and emission wavelength 520 nm). Results: Plasma of control subjects showed increased levels of the above mentioned parameters with after incubation for 1 hour and addition of cholesterol substrate resulted in still further significant increase in these parameters. The plasma of patients showed similar results but the extent of increase was more. The addition of antibiotics to the control plasma caused a decrease in all the parameters while addition

The adsorption capacity of eggshell in removing Pb2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and Co2+ from standard solution and consolidated brewery effluent was investigated in this study. The sorption process dependent on pH, contact time, initial metal ion concentration and sorbent dosage with pH 7.0 being the optimum value, and maximum sorption was attained within the first 60 minutes. The equilibrium sorption data followed the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms with R2 ranges of 0.834 – 0.993 and 0.939 – 0.998 respectively. The kinetic data were best described with pseudo second order kinetic. Desorption of sorbed metal ions was efficient with 3.0 mol/L NaOH. The affinity of metal ion sorption was in the order of Co2+ > Pb2+ > Ni2+ > Zn2+ > Mn2+. The percentage adsorptions of Mn2+ and Zn2+ from the brewery effluent were 95.86% and 44.29% respectively, while the corresponding percentage desorption of Mn2+ and Zn2+ were 19.94% and 35.48% respectively.

Deinococcus radiodurans is unmatched among all known species in its ability to resist ionizing radiation and other DNA-damaging factors. It is considered a model organism in the study of DNA damage and repair. Treatment of D. radiodurans with an acute dose of 5,000 Gy of ionizing radiation with almost no loss of viability, and an acute dose of 15,000 Gy with 37% viability. The extreme radiation resistance of this bacterium is due to efficient DNA repair capacity, high antioxidant activities, and unique cell structure. Based on the latest findings, the general characteristics and ionizing radiation resistance mechanisms of D. radiodurans are reviewed and discussed in this paper.

The article presents an analysis of the philosophical category reliability amid its polysemy and the current trend towards the convergence of technical, economic and socio-biological sciences.
