BIO of Mike Mikalajunas

X close

Mike Mikalajunas has a degree in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics. He has taken part in a
number of research projects with various faculty members from different departments in the same University where he graduated from. This
would include a long term flight simulation project in conjunction with the department of Mechanical Engineering and Canadian Aviation
Electronics (CAE). Also included are some software development work related to a program called AUTO, "Continuation and Bifurcation
Problems in Ordinary Differential Equations" http://indy.cs.concordia.ca/auto/ in conjunction with the department of Computer Science. Other
professional activities going back as far as in the mid 80's included taking part with Dr. Robert Carbone for the launching of a new software
consulting company that would provide much greater software accessibility on the PC for large corporations as an alternative to the use of very
expensive mainframe computer systems. More information can be obtained by going to http://futurcast.com/ where many of his programs are
still being used in large corporations some of which with a total revenue far exceeding $100 Million. They would include Astra Zeneca, Bayer,
Boehringer Ingelheim, Bray Valve & Controls, Bway Aerosol division, Campbell Soup, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Glaxo-Egypt, Honeywell, John
Crane, Lever Ponds, Merck Frost, Novartis International, Ortho Pharmaceuticals, Roche, Sanofi Aventis, Solvay, Unilever, Upsher-Smith, and
Worthington Industries. Because of his extensive background in C++ and Oracle, Mike Mikalajunas has for many years been assigned to
maintaining and supporting the company's own leading Futurcast statistical software package within the giant pharmaceutical company
Boehringer Ingelheim. Under a special license agreement he would be responsible in part for running the entire sales forecasting and assumption
reporting software on a monthly basis for the international division of Boehringer Ingelheim that provide services to over 100 countries from
around the world in order to meet each of the countries own total manufacturing process requirements. At the same time while all of these
various projects were going on, Mike Mikalajunas was also very extensively involved in the search for some form of a unified theory of
analytical integration that would be driven entirely by computation only. His preliminary results in the form of a universal computational
algorithm were made public between 1981 and 1983 to various professional conferences involving three of the largest mathematical societies in
the world, (1) "New algorithm for integrating PDEs" (SIAM) 1981 Fall Meeting, Cincinnati Ohio (2) "Representing a PDE in terms of an
infinite variety of integrable and non-integrable systems of ODEs" Abstracts of the American Math Society Vol. 4, Number 5, 87th summer
meeting, Albany NY (1983) and (3) "On the use of Multivariate Polynomials for integrating ODEs" Mathematical Association of America
(MAA) NY State Mathematical Assoc. of Two Year Colleges, Seaway Section, Spring 1983, Utica NY. In 2015, the new computational
algorithm received general acceptance for presentation at 2 major International Conferences on Computational Methods in Auckland New
Zealand (ICCM2015) and at Berkeley University (ICCM2016). This was followed by another one in Melbourne Australia "13th International
Conference on the Mechanical Behavior of Materials, June 2019". Many Universities have also expressed a great deal of interest for the
presentation of his work at one of their regular internal seminars in Engineering and Mathematics. These included from the department of
Mechanical Engineering, Carleton University, the University of California at Davis and the University of Memphis. Also included, the
Purdue School of Engineering & Technology in Indianapolis, the School of Engineering Science at Simon Fraser University and finally, the
department of Mathematics at the City University of New York. This has also attracted some degree of interest from NASA which as a result of
having attended one of their highly advanced Physics Workshop "NASA Fundamental Physics Workshop April, 2018, La Jolla, CA", Mike
Mikalajunas was given the opportunity to make a presentation at their Washington DC headquarters on the use of his own unique computational
algorithm for attempting to resolve many of the various cases of the Navier-Stokes equations in more generalized analytical form, “A method of
differential analysis for solving the Navier-Stokes equations in more generalized form, NASA Headquarters, June 2018, Washington DC"

BIO of William Miller

X close

Dr. Miller had been in active academic and private medical practice for over 35 years. A series of observations during that career stimulated research in evolutionary biology from the non-traditional perspective of cellular cognition and the microbiome. Seven books and fifty peer-reviewed academic publications have followed, forming a major body of work concentrating on the role of cognition, information, and the microbiome in biology. Dr. Miller is the architect of Cognition-Based Evolution as a peer-accepted comprehensive alternative to conventional Darwinism. This novel framework emphasizes the roles of cellular intelligence, cell-cell communication, and natural viral- cellular engineering as the cornerstone processes in evolution. His first textbook on this topic, Cognition-Based Evolution: Natural Cellular Engineering and the Intelligent Cell was recently published by Taylor and Francis/CRC Press. In his work, Dr. Miller emphasizes Peter Rowland's nilpotent mechanics and a Zero Totality Alphabet as contributing significantly to our conceptual understanding reticulate biological evolution and the relationship of scale-independence and self-similarity to living systems.

Dr. Miller is a graduate of Northwestern University in Biology, Northwestern Medical School, and is a member of the medical honor society, Alpha Omega Alpha. He has been recently named an inaugural Highly Ranked Scholar over the last five years in biophysics by ScholarGPS.

He started medical studies 1960, and after graduation first served as resident and then associate professor in Internal Medicine and Cardiology under professor Jan Waldenström, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund 1968-73. In 1973, continuing as associate professor under professor Bertil Hood at the department of Internal Medicine he planned and designed the centre of Preventive Medicine, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund, which he directed and ran 1973-1982. This brought him in closer contact with Primary Health Care, Community Medicine and Health Promotion, and 1982-1987 he served as associate professor in Family Medicine (Allmänmedicin/General Medicicine), Department of Community Medicine, Malmö General Hospital, University of Lund, obtaining there his specialist degree also in Family Medicine.

In 1987 he was appointed full professor and chief, Department of Family Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences (‘Health University’), University of Linköping, Sweden; retiring in 2006 but staying on as professor emeritus, and from 2006 and onwards he serves in General Practise as ‘district doctor’ in Karlstad.

This rich clinical spectrum opened a wide scientific/research and development (R&D) range, and also resulted in several advisory functions, e.g with International Agency for Research on Cancer in Lyon; on Health Policy, alcohol disorders and Preventive Medicine in WHO; development and implementation of PHC services and research on Crete; computerized Maternal and Child Health Care (MCHC) systems in India, PHC education and training programs in Albania, and others.

He has written some 450 medical papers, book chapters, lectures, articles; 156 of these searchable in PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=trell+e. Due to the forefront nature of his clinical and R&D engagements there are many first/early publications, especially in Preventive Medicine, where in the seventies he was the internationally most cited researcher with reports in leading journals like Alcohol, American Journal of Epidemiology (n=3), American Journal of Medicine (n=4), Angiology, Atherosclerosis, British Medical Journal (n=4), Cancer, Diabetologia, Hypertension, JAMA, Lancet (n=10), Postgraduate Medical Journal (n=3), Preventive Medicine (n=3), and Thorax. Among the ‘firsts’ articles can be quoted the whole Malmö Preventive Program (MPP) institution for multiphasic health screening and intervention in the population, including glucose tolerance test and mammographic units; the computer system for its online monitoring and interactive questionnaire, the inclusion in MPP of alcohol-related disabilities, smoking-related cancer, and prediabetes; the transferal of the preventive program from staffed testing to internet/mobile phone “HealthOmeter” self-distribution; local area dementia prevention; developing MCHC in India; implementing PHC care and education on Crete and in the Balkans, and others.

His mathematical/physical studies started in the 1970’s and are directed to an algebraic/structural derivation of the elementary particle and periodic table symmetries following the original works of Marius Sophus Lie and bringing him in wide collaborations i.a. in Norway, USA, England, Russia, Nigeria and India. He has written some 40 papers on the subject and is co-founder and Vice President of IMBIC, Kolkata 2006- , and served as Vice President of Calcutta Mathematical Society, 2007-2011.
