Experimental demonstration of electric power generation from Earth's rotation through its own magnetic field by Christopher F. Chyba, Kevin P. Hand, Thomas H. Chyba

“…Controlling for thermoelectric and other potentially confounding effects (including 60 Hz and RF background), we show that this small demonstration system generates a continuous DC voltage and current of the (low) predicted magnitude. We test and verify other predictions of the theory: voltage and current peak when the cylindrical shell's long axis is orthogonal to both Earth's rotational velocity v and magnetic field; voltage and current go to zero when the entire apparatus (cylindrical shell together with current leads and multimeters) is rotated 90^{∘} to orient the shell parallel to v; voltage and current again reach a maximum but of opposite sign when the apparatus is rotated a further 90^{∘}; an otherwise-identical solid MnZn ferrite cylinder generates zero voltage at all orientations; and a high-R_{m} cylindrical shell produces zero voltage. …”

Fungal Keratitis. Part 1. Etiomorphology, Historical Aspects, Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Pathogenesis and Clinical Features by O. V. Shilovskikh, V. O. Ponomarev, V. L. Timofeev

“…Highly adhesive fungi (Aspergillus spp., Candida spp.) trigger a cascade of immune inflammatory reactions, production of reactive oxygen species and matrix metalloproteases-9, which leads to the destruction of lamellae. Fungi with low adhesive ability (Fusarium spp.) can grow parallel to lamellae for a long time and indefinitely without inducing pronounced inflammation. …”
