1.
“Argon

Replaced the standard Helium carrier gas practice in chromatography
when analyzing packaged food stuff.
1971
2.

Three-Point Base Theory”

segregation quality in dynamic particle beds according to .particle size,
density, shape,
and
particle bed kinetic energy level.

for the full range of
food pasteurizing and sterilization methods.

4. “Maximum Surface
Moisture in Freely Drained Beds”
Determination method for estimating overall bed moisture content based
on bed depth and particle size

1976
5. “Thermodynamic
Redshift, (Photon Decay)”
Photons lose their energy by
the gravitational radiation effect. From the observed energy loss data of
binary pulsar PSR 1913 + 16, the photon energy decay rate is calculated to
be 2.45 . 10-18
per sec.,
this is the equivalent to 75.6
km/sec/Mpc, the cosmological redshift value. NO expanding space.
1984
6. “The 2.73 degree Kelvin
solar Circumstellar Shell”
The Sun centered spherical thin shell has the diameter of 64,600 AU
(about one light year), a mass of 0.16
solar masses, and is composed of non orbiting small dust (mostly ices)
particles. The thin (less than one
AU thickness) sparsely populated
(extinction magnitude of 0.25) shell is position stabilized by gravitation
and radiation pressure from the Sun, the solar neighborhood and itself. The ice (carbon dioxide, water,
methane, and ammonia) rich dust is coated with one or two layers of
metallic hydrogen (deuterium
enriched) and thermodynamically radiates a 2.73 oK monopole
with a 0.003.4 oK dipole bias from the
solar neighborhood stellar radiation differential. Quadrupole and octopole biases of lower
biased
temperatures are cause by the ecliptic disc dust and shadow, the Gould
Belt, and the galactic tide .
1989
7. a. ‘Quantum Law of
Gravity for Cosmological Distances”
F / m =
G (r) . M / r 2 = G (e - r(H / c)) .
M / r2
This
derivation is based on three requirements: adhering to the laws of
thermodynamics, the universe
of rational solutions and a quantum compatibility. The Gravitation constant G is a function of the
distance from the mass M by the inverse exponential amount e
r( H / C ) where r
is that distance, H is
the Hubble Constant (photon decay rate) and c is the speed of gravity.
b.
” The Speed of Gravity is ‘c’ ”
“c” is the speed of gravity, not
light. Light can attain the speed
of gravity in “empty space”.
No
mass/energy can outrace its own gravitational field. “H” (the energy loss rate of photons while
traveling
at the speed of gravity in “empty space”) and “c’ are physical parameters of the
gravitational
constant.
c.
“Universe’s Mean positive mass density”
Derivation
of the Quantum Law of Gravity and a determined H (photon decay, Hubble Constant) value
predicts a
mean mass density that is 0.104, or 5/48, of the presently accepted standard
model (Big
Bang) value. This correlates well with the observed
value of approximately 0.1, thereby negating the
need for
exotic dark matter of dark energy. Mean Mass Density =
1.12 . 10 -30 gm/cm

me
The “Quantum Law of Gravity” is of a Yukawa
potential form where the field has mass.
In this case,
the gravitational field is made up of an
astronomical number of astronomically small negative
mass/energy
quanta which are astronomically large in size, reg =
8.6 billion
light years, with a
universal mean
space density count (made up of equal quantities of negatively and positively
charged
quanta) of 4
. 1035 ct/cm3, or a mass density of - 1.12.
10-30gm/cm3 (matching the numerical value of
the universe’s positive mass/energy
density, but negative).

Resolution of Newtonian Infinite Potential Dilemma”

8. a. “Source of Gamma-Ray
Bursts (GRB)”
Approximately one fifth of the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) traveling
towards the inner
solar system strike the Circumstellar
Shell dust (ice) particles to produce a gamma-ray shower.
Some of the high energy gamma-rays produced would strike other shell dust
particles to create a
secondary shower (even multiple showers could
occur), and the widely scattered dust particles have a
large
range of sizes. This process causes
many different GRB patterns to be observed, as was
confirmed
by the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory.
