Mitchell studies

An initial study of his ability to focus his consciousness outside his body and perceive from that location was carried out by Karlis Osis and Janet Lee Mitchell at the American Society for Psychical Research in New York City [55]. Although Mitchell describes this as a study of OOBEs, I would classify it as a study of remote viewing. Swann describes his perception of a remote location while it happens, so he can hardly be said to be fully disconnected from his body. Other remote-viewing experiments with Swann have been described by Russell Targ and Hal Puthoff [92, 135, 136] in terms of psi content, but we will focus on the Osis and Mitchell study here because it included physiological measurements.

The study of Anderson and Mitchell (1997) examined whether the AIDS-specific home and community-based waiver program, which was implemented in Florida in 1990 as an alternative to institutional care, was effective in reducing Medicaid expenditures per beneficiary during its first 2 years of operation. Therefore, the authors used Medicaid claims data and country information to estimate the effect of the waiver on expenditures controlling for nonrandom program selection. Their results indicate that persons with AIDS who used waiver services incurred monthly expenditures that were on average 22-27% lower than otherwise similar nonparticipants. The authors concluded that home and community-based care for AIDS patients resulted in lower expenditures per beneficiary.

Body Weight Effects. Body weight loss has been reported in humans occupationally exposed to trichloroethylene for intermediate or chronic durations at concentrations resulting in neurological effects (Mitchell and Parsons-Smith 1969 Schattner and Malnick 1990). In intermediate- and chronic-duration studies body weights less than controls have been reported in animals following inhalation (Adams et al.

Increased age and smoking are associated with an increased oxidative stress and depletion of low-molecular weight antioxidants in many tissues including the retina (Beatty et al., 2000). Epidemiological studies indicate that on average, smokers develop late stage AMD 10 years earlier than nonsmokers (Kelly et al., 2004 Klein et al., 1998 Mitchell et al., 2002 Thornton et al., 2005 Tomany et al., 2004).

Gas-phase ion chemistry is a broad field which has many applications and which encompasses various branches of chemistry and physics. An application that draws together many of these branches is the synthesis of molecules in interstellar clouds (Herbst). This was part of the motivation for studies on the neutralization of ions by electrons (Johnsen and Mitchell) and on isomerization in ion-neutral associations (Adams and Fisher). The results of investigations of particular aspects of ion dynamics are presented in these association studies, in studies of the intermediates of binary ion-molecule Sn2 reactions (Hase, Wang, and Peslherbe), and in those of excited states of ions and their associated neutrals (Richard, Lu, Walker, and Weisshaar). Solvation in ion-molecule reactions is discussed (Castleman) and extended to include multiply charged ions by the application of electrospray techniques (Klassen, Ho, Blades, and Kebarle). These studies also provide a wealth of information on reaction thermodynamics which is critical in determining reaction spontaneity and availability of reaction channels. More focused studies relating to the ionization process and its nature are presented in the final chapter (Harland and Vallance).
