Nuclear products which were caused by the D + D nuclear fusion reaction were searched in electrolytic cells and in gas phase of Pd + D systems. Measurements of nuclear products were made for gamma-ray, neutron, tritium and helium. To detect neutron, liquid scintillation and He counters were used. For gamma-ray measurement, a NaI detector was used. For tritium concentration measurement in gas ph...

Fusion reactions are affected by nuclear structure and many dynamical processes. Some effects of internal nuclear structure on reactions such as heavy-ion fusion can be seen by studying features of experimental fusion barrier distributions [1]. Until more recently, theoretical modelling of these reactions were largely of phenomenological nature. Whilst this approach is useful to start with and ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Fusion of cancer cells has been studied for over half a century. However, the steps involved after initial fusion between cells, such as heterokaryon formation and nuclear fusion, have been difficult to observe in real time. In order to be able to visualize these steps, we have established cancer-cell sublines from the human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma, one expressing green fluorescent ...

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) receptors are ligand-gated channels that release intracellular Ca2+ stores in response to the second messenger, IP3. We investigated the potential role of IP3 receptors during nuclear envelope assembly in vitro, using Xenopus egg extracts. Previous work suggested that Ca2+ mobilization is required for nuclear vesicle fusion and implicated IP3 receptor activity...

objective: investigating some biological side effects of radiations resulted from fusion reaction experiments in damavad tokamak. materials and methods: the absorbed dose of the personnel in damavand tokamak was measured using lif dosimeters and analyzed. results: in damavand in areas near the forbidden zone around this device the level of the received dose is very high (more than 6 msv for eac...

Nuclear fusion control, and specifically plasma control, represents one of the newest and more promising applications of Control Engineering, with increasing interest in the control community. In this paper it is made a control-oriented review of the state of the art of nuclear fusion techniques. For this purpose, a comprehensive description of the fusion process is provided, focusing in the mo...

The following two technical notes, "Anoma­ lous Reactions During Arcing Between Carbon Rods in Water" and "Verification of the George Oshawa Experiment for Anomalous Production of Iron from Carbon Arc in Water," are unique among the various papers that have been pub­ lished in Fusion Technology in the area of cold fusion and nuclear reactions in solids. The first discusses experiments intended ...

A model of competition between complete fusion and quasifission channels in fusion of two massive nuclei is extended to include the influence of dissi-pative effects on the dynamics of nuclear fusion. By using the multidimen-sional Kramers-type stationary solution of the Fokker–Planck equation, the fusion rate through the inner fusion barrier in mass asymmetry is studied. Pu reactions used for ...
