Review & Description

As depicted in NASA space shuttle film footage compiled and published by this author (Joseph 2012a,b), anomalous objects resembling and behaving similar to single cell and simple multi-cellular organisms have been observed and filmed by 10 separate NASA space shuttle missions, over 200 miles above Earth within the thermosphere. These structures appear to be self-illuminated, may be several meters or kilometers in size, and have 4 distinct morphologies: 1) sperm shaped, 2) cloud shaped, 3), “donut” shaped, 4) Cone shaped. Some of these structures travel at different speeds, travel in different directions, and change their speed and direction of movement and angle toward the camera, will turn and interact with one another, and in some instances will turn 180 degrees and follow other structures. Plasmas can also take cellular shape and engage in anomalous behaviors, and the possibility these may be plasmas is explored. It may be that if these anomalous objects are in fact extraterrestrial forms of life, that they have a physiology and biology completely different from terrestrial life. They may not even be carbon-based, and have no DNA--but consist of electromagnetic plasmas which is why they are attracted to electric storms. If so, this may explain why these structures also self-illuminated and why the sperm-shaped structures become more energetic.

Since these entities are associated with electromagnetic activity, and have characteristics and behavior patterns which could be construed as “plasma-like” they may in fact be plasmas. If these are plasmas, this could explain their distinct cellular structures and behavior patterns. Observational data captured on film by missions STS-75, STS- 80, STS-96 and STS-106, demonstrates these objects congregate by the hundreds above or near sources of electromagnetic activity; i.e. thunder storms, hurricanes, a satellite-tether 12-miles in length which was generating electricity and electro-magnetic force field interactions between the tether, the satellite, and the surrounding space medium (STS-75). Computerized analysis of the flight path trajectories and velocity was performed and tracking plots were calculated for two stable sequences of film footage from the STS-75 satellite imagery with durations of 20 seconds and 53 seconds. It was determined that these objects travel at different velocities and changeable trajectories including arcing trajectories and 45-degree shifts, 90-degree shifts, and 180-degree shifts in trajectory as indicated by the length of the plotted flight path. Observational and computerized analysis, therefore, indicates these anomalous objects display behaviors and morphologies completely atypical of space junk, meteors, or crystals of ice and which indicate the possibility of life or plasma-like cellular structures thriving in space. Plasma are considered a “fourth state of matter.” If the entities described in this report are plasmas, they could also be considered an alternate form of life, or a form of pre-life which provided the cellular framework for life to begin. The morphology and behavior patterns of many of these objects are suggestive of living organisms. Extremophiles have been discovered in almost every conceivable environment on Earth including in highly radioactive environments, and it has been demonstrated that spores and microbes can survive within the thermosphere. Therefore, it is possible that some of these structures could be “extraterrestrial extremophiles” or plasma-like alternate life forms which have adapted to living in the thermosphere.

Review & Description

This book details the widely accepted hypothesis that the majority of bacteria in virtually all ecosystems grow in matrix-enclosed biofilms. The author, who first proposed this biofilm hypothesis, uses direct evidence from microscopy and from molecular techniques, arguing cogently for moving beyond conventional culture methods that dominated microbiology in the last century. Bacteria grow predominantly in biofilms in natural, engineered, and pathogenic ecosystems; this book provides a solid basis for the understanding of bacterial processes in environmental, industrial, agricultural, dental and medical microbiology. Using a unique "ecological" perspective, the author explores the commensal and pathogenic colonization of human organ systems.

Review & Description

The ultimate illustrated handbook on mushrooms.

More than 1,000 handsome color photographs by Roger Phillips illustrate this comprehensive guide to mushrooms and other fungi of North America, in all their astonishing variety.

Amateur collectors, expert mycologists and armchair naturalists will welcome the reissue of this valuable reference.

Each photograph has a neutral background to eliminate distractions. The specimens are arranged to show the cap, stem, gills, spines, and a cross section, usually in various stages of growth.

The information on each mushroom variety includes:

  • Dimensions of cap, gills and stem
  • Color and texture description of flesh
  • Description of odor and taste
  • Habitat and growing season
  • Description of spores
  • Categorization of edibility.

Mushrooms and Other Fungi of North America also includes useful tips and helpful advice on collecting specimens and identifying them. This book is the ideal introduction to mycology.

Review & Description

This volume provides an overview of host genetic factors that provide complete or partial resistance to infection, that influence the clinical outcome of infection, or that confer the capacity to remain healthy during infection. This book covers the most recent advances in the field and explores how progress in knowing the genetic basis of infectious diseases could lead to new insights in understanding and combating them.

Review & Description

The staphylococci are important pathogenic bacteria responsible for a variety of diseases in humans and other animals. They are the most common cause of hospital-acquired infection. Antibiotic resistant strains (MRSA) have become endemic in hospitals in most countries, causing major public health issues. In addition, the incidence of new strains that cause severe community-acquired infections in healthy people is increasing and MRSA strains are emerging in agricultural and domestic animals. In the race to understand staphylococcal pathogenesis, the focus has been on genetics, as a bacterium can only do what its genes allow. The publication of the first staphylococcal whole genome sequence in 2001 paved the way for a greater understanding of the molecular basis of its virulence, evolution, epidemiology, and drug resistance. Since then, the available genomic data has mushroomed and this, coupled with the major advances in genetic know-how and the availability of better genetic tools, has allowed significant advances to be made. This volume on staphylococcal genetics brings together the expertise and enthusiasm of an international panel of leading staphylococcal researchers to provide a state-of-the art overview of the field. Topics include the sequencing projects (including spin-off microarray and systems biology tools), epidemiology, evolution, manipulation of the genome, diagnostics, gene expression due to global regulators and environmental triggers, cell-wall synthesis, coagulase-negative species, and animal pathogens. The book is designed for two major audiences: first, as an introduction on the subject for new researchers, including those unfamiliar with genetics; and for established researchers, for whom the book will serve as an invaluable reference and summary of this large field.ò

Review & Description

"Physiology of the Bacterial Cell" introduces the properties of bacteria that have led to their success as colonizers of this planet. The major theme of this book is the analysis of the molecular devices that have led to the unmatched ability of bacteria to grow rapidly in a variety of environments, to adapt quickly to changes in the surroundings, to withstand starvation and exposure to toxic agents and to compete successfully with other organisms.
