Critical Review of Theoretical Models for Anomalous Effects ( Cold Fusion ) in Deuterated Metals
We briefly summarize the reported anomalous effects in deuterated metals at ambient temperature, commonly known as "Cold Fusion" (CF), with an emphasis on important experiments as well as the theoretical basis for the opposition to interpreting them as cold fusion. Then we critically examine more than 25 theoretical models for CF, including unusual nuclear and exotic chemical hypotheses. We con...
متن کاملIn Plane Vibration of Pyrimidine and some Deuterated Pyrimidines
On the basis of 102 assigned frequencies to in plane vibrations of pyrimidine, pyrimidine-2-d2, pyrimidine-2, 5-d2, pyrimidine-4,6-d2, pyrimidine-2,4,6-d3 and pyrimidine-d4, 35 valance force field constants including 14 principals and 21 interaction force constants are calculated. New assignments are suggested for n<su...
متن کاملDetection of High Tritium Activity on the Central Titanium Electrode of a Plasma Focus Device
A 2-kJ Mather plasma focus device is used to deuterate the top end surface (or tip) of its central titanium electrode to investigate the occurrence of anomalous nuclear reactions in the context of the “cold fusion” phenomenon. The tip of the central titanium electrode is found to develop at least a few tens of microcuries of tritium after several plasma focus discharges. Neither the tritium imp...
متن کاملAnomalous Gravitational Effects in the Universe
Based on previously published alternative reflections on gravitation, additional conclusions concerning anomalous gravitational effects in the universe are derived. For systems with spherical mass distribution and high central density of the luminous matter, abnormal increases in the gravitational potential towards the centers of these systems are derived. These anomalous increases are calculat...
متن کاملEffects of deuteration on locomotor activity of amphetamine.
The synthesis of fully deuterated amphetamine (phenyl-2-aminopropane-d11) in which 11 deuterium atoms are bonded to carbons and two other highly deuterated analogues is described. Their toxicities and in vivo spontaneous locomotor activities in mice were examined and compared with that of the parent protioamphetamine. A significant reduction in toxicities and a decrease in spontaneous locomotor...
