Stunell Private Members Bill

Andrew Stunell MP has now issued his private members bill about planning controls on telecommunications mast.

It continues to surprise me that noone has noted that in the third quarterly report of DSTL into the TETRA system there is sign of a non-thermal effect from TETRA signals.

This is the key debate that the Home Office commissioned research was supposed to answer.

On the Police Reform website it says:

Results from Dstl studies show that TETRA signals have no effect on calcium exchanges in cells – the main concern of the Stewart report;

Yet in the third quarterly report from DSTL it uses the phrase:
"no statistically significant effects"

Note the important difference in the use of the adjective "statistically significant"

Whereas on Page 13 of the report in the graph it shows a clear effect (that does not always occur) when the signals are switched on and when they are switched off.



I would have thought they should have done substantially more testing of this particular issue before concluding the signals "have no effect".

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
