Subject: IJCNN2019 paper #19557, PID5815197 - problems with the IEEE From: "Bill Howell. Hussar. Alberta. Canada" <> Date: Sat, 9 Mar 2019 12:50:52 -0700 To: "Julio J. Valdes. Computational Intelligence scientist. NRCC. Ottawa" Cc: "Chul Sung. Publications Chair. IJCNN2019 Budapest. IBM. USA" Julio Valdes, Ken Tapping, Ljubomir Nikolic - You are victims with some unknown mistake that I made when setting up the Publications systems for IJCNN2019. I'm hoping that this won't be as bad as the eCf problem of IJCNN2017 Anchorage! Three papers have successfully submitted their IEEE electronic Copyright form (eCf) form, but other authors besides yourselves have had problems. Still other authors had problems running their papers through IEEE PDF xPress (xPress).
Julio Valdes - I didn't make it to WCCI2018 Rio de Janiero (money challenges with aging parents and a sisters' end-of career challenges with cut-backs in the Alberta self-destruct economy). Fingers crossed that I will make it to IJCNN2019 Budapest! You don't have any papers on "Extreme Learning Machines" this year. Are you still pursuing that toolset or Echo State Networks? (I assume that your "Generalised neuron" is still a pursuit). Ken Tapping - An uncle of mine (Ken Wylie) died in Penticton two weeks ago, but an "open celebration" for non-immediate family will be held 24Aug2019, so I'll be attending that. Did you retire to Ontario yet (wine's probably better in the Okanagan anyways)? A keen interest of mine over the last 6 or so years is the progress of the "SAFIRE project - Experimental testing of an electric model of the Sun" project in Toronto (see the section below my signature block). If you've run across it, I would like to know your opinions.Ljubomir - From your website http://www.goc411.ca/en/104023/Ljubomir-Nikolic it doesn't appear that ?Alek Tretchienchov's? wife is still at the geomag lab? Seems like you may be taking the place of David Thompson of Queen's University, who I assume retired some years ago? Do you have any experience with "fractional order calculus"? I first ran into it 2 decades ago when Reading Mandelbrot's book "The Misbehaviour of markets", but I didn't recognize what he meant by multi-fractals (fractal time - which he said was the real power). Oddly enough, I first ran into it about 6 six years ago in several papers I reviewed for the "Neural Networks" journal on control theory! Anyways, let's see if we can get the eCf form to work!

They have beautiful control over nested plasma shells, vacuum electric gradients that aren't supposed to exist, and "extra material" that could possibly be indicative of low [temperature, pressure] fusion (they're not saying that, as it will take time to rule out other possibilities). Below are my quick notes of two of the videos I've watched in recent years. They've also produced some papers. +-----+ 16Dec2018 https://safireproject.com/project/presentation.html Part III Montgomery Childs and Dr. Michael Clarage present a review of The SAFIRE PROJECT to date, which includes some new discoveries of the past year. 20:36 Types of SAFIRE plasmas : increasing power levels -> [dark quiescent, tufts, moving tufts, double layers, quiescent, asymetric double layers, high intensity] DOX (Design of Xperiments? - conclusions or observations? - Prior to formation of double layers the plasma is not stable - The formation of double layers causes the plasma to stabilize (can't crank voltage - plasma won't acccept it?) - The response being the trapping of ions and electrons within the double layers - A complete change of volume and current relationship Anomalous damage to equipment (Lowell Morgan radiation analysis) : - discharge in chamber is transparent to visible light but UV light (10 eV) 60,000 times slower to pass Thermodynamics, CFD, - gravitational forces are negligible in SAFIRE Indications of nuclear transmutations? - elements appear that are nowhere in materials of [gases, electrodes, probes, instrumentation, vessel, etc] Electron T much higher away from electrode - like sun photosphere - chromosphere Concept of T is wrong for plasmas? SAFIRE model scaled up 10^24 : yields reasonable estimate of solar size for known solar irradiance (1/10th of actual R, 1/100 area)!?! Don't need cathode with SAFIRE? plasma electrons pulled in? +-----+ 06Mar2018 EU2017 Future Science Montgomery Childs, Michael Clairidge, Paul Anderson 18Aug2017 "SAFIRE project phase III update" https://www.electricuniverse.live/main-access/ (09Mar2019 This is a paid link, I think - it is probably available on YouTube?) Michael Claridge - probe destruction, double layers, etc Lowell Morgan ?2017? "... Nuclear weapons have littel to do with nuclear physics, and a lot to do with radiation, hydrogen dynamics. ..." >> did Michael Claridge misinterpret "radiation hydrodynamics" ? Hydrogen - 122 nm wavelength special frequency (spectral line?), holds onto incident radiation at this frequencey over thoudsands of frequency counts, yields : -> radiation trapping, SLOWS speed of light thousands of times!! Monty Childs - summary of SAFIRE : 1. can [contain,control,stabilize] high energy dense plasmas 2. chemistry changes 3. slow speed of light 4. variations of electron density comparable to [photoshpere, heliosphere,nuclear bombs] 5. electrical confinement of high energy photons (photon trapping) (06Mar2018 Howell - solar energy BIG time with solar concentrators, fusion projects) 6. core of SAFIRE is cooler than its surrounding atmosphere (< 1000 C versus 10 kC in plasma)!! - riddle of sun Also : - sustains a vacuum in test chamber without mechanical means!! eg, why space vacuum 300 miles above Earth's surface? - double layers stabilise plasmas in chamber SAFIRE - A Star in a jar. Howell - why don't they use Don Scott's NPN transistor model? ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Valdes, Julio <> Date: Sat, Mar 9, 2019 at 6:52 AM Subject: IEEE copyright for IJCNN 2019 paper PID5815197 To: <> Cc: <>, Tapping, Ken <> Dear Dr. Sung: I had trouble when submitting the IEEE copyright for IJCNN 2019 paper PID5815197.
