The Earth expansion theory and its transition from scientific hypothesis to pseudoscientific belief by P. Sudiro

“…Due to the level of scientific knowledge and the limited amount of data available in many scientific disciplines at the time, not only was contractionism considered a valid scientific theory but the debate also included expansionism, mobilism on a fixed-dimension planet, or various combinations of these geodynamic hypotheses. Geologists and physicists generally accepted that planets could change their dimensions, although the change of volume was generally believed to happen because of a contraction, not an expansion. …”

Comparative Study of Auto Plan and Manual Plan for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy by Xin X, Cheng C, Li C, Li J, Wang P, Yin G, Lang J

“…For OARs which have no significant difference between AU and MA plans are highlighted, the mean dose of OARs in AU plans was at least not higher than MA plans.Conclusion: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma IMRT plans made by an automatic planning tool met the clinical requirements for target prescription dose; moreover, the dose of normal tissues was lower than in MA plans. Clinical physicists’ time can be saved and the influence of factors such as the lack of experience in treatment planning can be avoided.Keywords: auto planning, manual planning, nasopharyngeal carcinoma…”

The Polyfurcation Century: Does the Evolution on Earth Have a Cosmological Relevance? by Akop P. Nazaretyan

“…Current generations’ activities will determine what exactly the turning point will look like and what direction the subsequent evolution will go. Modern physicists and specialists in heuristics are advancing strong reasons for the conclusion that there is no absolute ban on the range of purposeful mass-energy control and therefore, mind’s cosmic-scale influence is potentially unlimited. …”
