 annote    = {A literature review by the author found some signs of a failed
 phenomenon and they were applied to both the polywater affair (1962-1974) and
 cold fusion (1989-), both considered failed epidemics. For the latter, the
 Britz files were used as data. The study showed that some characteristic
 signs were present in both affairs: presence of seminal papers, rapid growth
 and decline in author frequency, multidisciplinary work and epidemic growth
 and decline in journal publication frequency.  A further indicator,
 predominance of rapid publication, might apply, while the sixth sign,
 increasingly multi-authorship, did not apply to these two affairs. See also
 the paper by the same author, ibid 63 (2005) 189, on polywater itself (a
 "peripheral")}

 fusion reaction in cold fusion. The reaction, he writes, occurs only within a
 thin layer of metal, and a non-steady-state of the system is necessary for
 the reaction to take place. It is accompanied by radio-frequency
 electromagnetic radiation. Some of the proposals have been made in earlier
 papers by the author.}

 indeed electrons can screen the deuterons, raising fusion rates to levels

 formed by two different unit cells that are not quite compatible. These were
 controversial for some time before becoming accepted. It seems David
 considers deuterium in palladium as an example of a quasicrystal, and
 stresses and anharmonic vibrations might explain fusion events}

 confirms that dd fusion might be different in Pd. Here the target metals are
 Al, Zr, Ta and Pd and the branching ratios of the dd fusion reactions are
 examined. For some target metals, the branching ratio of neutrons to protons
 emitted falls (somewhat) below unity at low beam energies, unlike
 observations in plasma experiments. This is taken as evidence that the cold
 fusion claims of greatly different branching ratios for dd fusion in PdD
 might be real. There are no references to actual cold fusion papers, however,
 and the crucial rate of helium emission was not examined.}

 p. 207) against an earlier paper by Shanahan in the same journal (428 (2005)
 207). Shanahan's arguments rest mainly on unaccounted calibration shifts due
 to shifting heat souurces, and unaccounted recombination due to the transport
 of deuterium and oxygen bubbles to the electrodes, both catalysts for such
 recombination, as well as, possibly, metal deposited on the glass walls of
 the cell. Storms points out that this is unimportant at the higher currents
 employed, and that the location of a heat source within a cell does not
 affect calorimetry in most systems used. Shanahan rejects these arguments. He
 considers chemical, not electrochemical, recombination, and points out that
 there is evidence for this in Storms' cold fusion data. Shanahan proposes a
 chemical origin for what he calls the "Fleischmann-Pons-Hawkins effect".}

 relevant to it, describing a scenario that might explain some observations
 made by cold fusion workers, such as the production of 4He. Widom and Larsen
 propose the capture of electrons by protons (and presumably deuterons) in
 metal hydride, resulting in low momentum neutrons. These can induce a cycle
 of reactions starting with a neutron combining with 6Li, ending with 4He and
 energy emission at 26.9 MeV. The process ends with the production of 6Li
 again, plus energy at 2.95 MeV. The authors comment that the production of
 4He thus does not necessarily indicate d-d fusion in these systems}
