Introduction
Primarily I'm a computer programmer but I also studied medicine and focused on what is nowadays known as "molecular medicine". Upon graduation I conducted research on the conversion of stress hormones into immunity hormones to treat cancer, severe mental illness and infectious diseases. Generalizing my own and other researchers' efforts, I coined the term "symbiont conversion".

Symbiont Conversion Theory is a new scientific theory, summarizing and generalizing efforts that have been made by various researchers in the past years; it could even be perceived as a new scientific paradigm. This theory states that microorganisms and cells which are commonly considered to display parasitic behaviour can be "educated" and transfo...

The paradigm followed to date in cancer therapy can be described as "destroy and kill". Inspired by the study of the physiology of placenta and pregnancy, we came across steroid hormones, the activation of which in patients with cancer increases their survival rate, but also causes the healing of large wounds and the repair of organ damage, as was...
Conference Paper
Computational numeric simulation for thermal bridge evaluation can be considered a state-of-the-art technology in recent times. The current progress of both computational power and program development allow for fast evaluation of two- and three-dimensional thermal bridges. Even the evaluation under transient boundary conditions can be conducted. Ho...

Stress was described by Cushing and Selye as an adaptation to a foreign stressor by the anterior pituitary increasing ACTH, which stimulates the release of glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid hormones. The question is raised whether stress can induce additional steroidal hormone cascade changes in severe mental diseases (SMD), since stress is the...

There are two forms of immune defense, the specific or adaptive immune defense and the unspecific innate immune defense. Vaccination is utilized against specific bacteria via the adaptive immune system. The innate immunity DNA stress defense is a non-toxic mechanism developed in yeasts and conserved in mammals and in plants. Although the steroidal...
Article
Computational numeric thermal bridge simulation can be considered a state-of-the-art technology for evaluating the thermal behavior of building component intersections. Conductive processes (and with some restrictions convective and radiative processes as well) inside of building details can be evaluated; Such analyses can help improve and optimize...

Introduction: It was suggested that specific plants may reduce cancer's resistance to chemotherapy. Resistance inhibits apoptosis, as well as other fundamental anti-cancer protective mechanisms. Soy bean has been found to reduce cellular stress and repair DNA damage caused by drought or parasites, and can transfer this defense mechanism to other pl...

Seit 50 Jahren gibt es orale Verhütungsmittel – die „Pille“, wie sie im Volksmund genannt werden. Wie sich die Pille auf die Entwicklung der menschlichen Gesellschaft auswirkt, werden wir im folgenden Artikel beleuchten.
Article
There is a renewed interest in the delivery of estradiol (E2) for the reduction of menopausal symptoms in young symptomatic menopausal women. This paper compares experimentally and theoretically obtained E2 plasma values by oral and transdermal delivery and compares them with relevant menopausal symptoms. Two independent previously published studie...
Conference Paper
Background: The World Wide Web has become an important source of information for medical practitioners, and there is evidence that freely available, well-designed medical search engines could have a positive impact on the quality of health care. Furthermore, several independent surveys in the recent past have shown that Google and Wikipedia are hea...
Book
This book deals with the diskmags of the international demoscene. Diskmag, a portmanteau of floppy disk and magazine, refers to an electronic magazine that was originally distributed by passing on and mailing data carriers (floppy disks) containing it. When the Internet became popular and diskmags were distributed primarily via FTP servers, the nam...

There seem to be quite a few people who want to learn programming in Basic and are eagerly waiting for a course. That's why I decided to start with a course. In my course we will cover the interpreter QBasic, which comes with MS-DOS from version 5.0 on. If you are using another operating system, which does not include QBasic, you can also use the e...

Question
Since there is an Indo-Austrian Joint Research Collaboration call for, I would like to know whether researcher in the field of Computational biology and bio-sensor development laboratories from Austria could join with me for this grant. This is a programme for Scientific and Technological Co-operation between India and Austria supported by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy (BMWFW) on the Austrian side and the Department of Science & Technology (DST) of the Ministry of Science & Technology on the Indian side. This grant covers the funding for exchange visits between India and Austria. I herewith have attached the detailed call for notification and the proposal format in which we are supposed to send a joint application. Kindly reply at the earliest as the deadline closes shortly.
