Low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) in metals are described using conventional nuclear theory based on the optical theorem formulation. It can be applied to both deuteron and proton induced LENRs. Cryogenic ignition of deuteron fusion in metal particles is proposed as an alternative approach to clean fusion energy generation.

Abstract. From the analysis of measurements of the linear polarisation of visible light coming from quasars, the existence of large-scale coherent orientations of quasar polarisation vectors in some regions of the sky has been reported. Here, we show that this can be explained by the mixing of the incoming photons with nearly massless pseudoscalar (axion-like) particles in extragalactic magneti...

The photoreceptor design of crustaceans, often containing regular arrays of intrinsically polarisation-sensitive microvilli, has had a profound influence on the visual biology of this subphylum. The land-based arthropods (insects and arachnids) also construct photoreceptors from ordered microvilli; however while in many species polarisation sensitivity results, a general overview of these group...

The deuteron axial current is sensitive both to the form of the implementation of relativistic dynamics as well as to the details of the deuteron D state at moderate momentum transfer, making it a natural partner to the magnetic form factor for exploring details of nucleon-nucleon dynamics and associated electroweak properties.

We present some simple methods to find gluon distribution from analysis of deuteron F2 structure function data at moderately lowx. Here we use the leading order(LO) Altarelli -Parisi(AP) evolution equation and New Muon Collaboration (NMC) deuteron F2 structure function data to extract gluon distribution. We also compare our results with those of other authors. PACS:12.38.-t; 12.38.Aw; 13.60.Hb

The general form of the cross section as well as the polarizations of electron-deuteron elastic scattering are given. Two-photon exchange effects are analyzed. Possible signatures of the two-photon exchange effects in the electron-deuteron elastic scattering are discussed. PACS: 13.40.GP, 25.30.-c, 25.30.Bf, 24.70.+s, 13.60.Fz

• Polarisation hinders both growth and human development • Measuring income polarisation provides a distinct insight into the link between growth and human development • Policy recommendations based on polarisation measures will differ from those based on conventional inequality measures, and are likely to be more nuanced S everal countries, particularly in Asia, have seen soaring economic grow...

The Hα-line intensity, linear and circular impact polarisation were calculated during the impulsive phase of flares using the density matrix approach. Depolarising effects of diffusive radiation and collisions with thermal electrons are considered for a 3 levels Hydrogen model atom with Zeeman splitting in weak and intermediate magnetic fields. Electron beam energy and angular distributions in ...
