Notes: Abstract We have searched for cold fusion produced in an electrolytic cell with Pd cathode and Pt anode. The electrolyte was 0.1 molar LiOD in 99.8% D2O. A 2-mm rod of polycrystalline Pd and a 4-mm rod of single crystal Pd were used. No radiation was detected above background by a BF3 neutron and Ge γ-X detector. The D2 loading of the Pd was 0.8 D per Pd atom reaching saturation after 4 hours. We also attempted to duplicate the work of Scaramuzzi and co-workers on the Ti-D2 system. Both powder and pieces of Ti were used. The material was cycled several times between 1100 K and 77 K. No neutron, γ- or x-ray emission above background was observed. The results of a barrier penetration calculation for H-like atoms are presented. The high fusion rates reported for PdD x . are much larger than those expected from theoretical calculations on these systems.

Notes: This study was undertaken to determine the effect of loading rate on bone failure under singular and combined loading states. Using the entire loading range of an Instron Materials Testing Machine, 190 pairs of canine radii were tested. One bone of each pair was subjected to either torsional or a combination of axial and torsional loads, and compared with a control specimen. Compressive loads of 4.6 and 11.5 N were utilized. Torque to failure and energy data versus loading rate were plotted. As loading rate increased, the torque and energy values were found to increase, reach a peak, and then decline at higher rates. Fractures produced under the combined state of loading are representative of those clinically found in human trauma situations.
