i. Characteristics
of CF Materials where occur Nuclear Transmutation and Excess Energy Generation

Abstract
Present status of researches of the cold
fusion phenomenon (CFP) with a lot of curious experimental facts inexplicable
by conventional knowledge of nuclear physics could be characterized by a
phenomenology. There are three kinds of CF materials where
occurs the CFP; (1) transition-metal hydrides/deuterides, (2) some hydrocarbons,
and (3) some biological bodies. In this paper, we present an extensive phenomenological
investigation of the CFP occurring in the three kinds of materials from the
point of view that the phenomenon is induced by essentially the same common
causes to three kinds of CF materials. The most interesting common factor is
the periodic array of the host nuclei interlaced with another periodic array of
protons or deuterons. Using the TNCF (trapped neutron catalyzed fusion) and ND
(neutron drop) models, we investigate essential factors of the CFP common to
the three kinds of CF materials thus giving keys to understand the nature of
the curious and perplexing CFP.

Abstract
Experimental data sets of the
cold fusion phenomenon (CFP) obtained in the contact catalysts W, Pt and Au are
investigated from a point of view common to whole data of the CFP in various
systems performed in almost twenty years after its discovery. These metals do
not occlude hydrogen isotopes and give us precious information about mechanisms
facilitating formation of a matter for the CFP (CF matter). The contact
catalysts shed light on atomic processes necessary to form the CF matter and
also on nuclear processes to realize the nuclear transmutation and other events
accompanying excess energy production in the CFP. The former may have a close
relation with the mechanism of catalysis. Experimental data sets on the nuclear
transmutation in these metals have confirmed the stability effects in the
generation of new nuclides discovered by us with some characteristic
modification by the experimental system.

On September 16, 2008, we
received a mail from Nagel and Melich about the format of papers to be
published in Proc. ICCF14 as follows;
“Dear
Colleagues,
Finally, we
have determined that the proceedings for ICCF-14 will be printed in black and
white on 8.5 by 11 inch paper. That printing will be done in the
Given how long it has taken
to reach the conclusions above, we are asking that all papers be provided to us
by the end of October 2008. However, if you finish your paper sooner,
please send it to us right away. This will even out our workload and allow us
to publish sooner after the deadline.
Please provide all papers to
Jed Rothwell at jedrothwell@gmail.com. He did a superb job with the
Agenda and Abstract book and, fortunately, is willing to accept, edit and
format the papers for the proceedings.
We will handle the papers in
the following steps, quite similar to those for publication is ordinary
refereed journals.
1. Jed will copy edit the papers, when they are received, to take care of
spelling, typographical and obvious language problems, and then send them to
the conference chairmen.
2. The papers will be sent by the chairmen to Technical Editors, who will
review the papers for content and presentation, and suggest changes to the
authors.
3. The papers will be returned by the chairmen to the authors to consider
the suggested changes.
4. The authors will return their papers to the chairmen, who may resolve
any residual concerns.
5. Jed will then provide the final formatting in order to insure
uniformity of appearance.
6. The authors will be provided with proof copies to insure that mistakes
have not crept into their papers.
We hope to have these steps
completed for each of the approximately 100 papers early next year.
Assembly of the final book, plus printing and mailing, will follow quickly.
Unlike the book of
abstracts, we will not print author photos or biographies in the
proceedings. The format for the papers will be similar to that for the
abstracts:
Page size: North American
Letter Size (8.5 by 11 inches = 216 by 279 millimeters)
Margins: 1 inch (25 millimeters) on all around, left, right, top and bottom
Font: Times New Roman
Font Size: 14 point bolded for the title (centered)
12 point for authors and their institutions (centered)
12 point for the text and references (left and right justified)
Line Spacing: Single spaced in text and references.
Double spaced between paragraphs within the text.
Software: Microsoft WORD or LATEX. If you use Microsoft Word, please use
the built-in equation editor.
Length: Five pages for contributed papers, including all poster papers.
Authors of reviews and invited papers will be notified separately that their
papers can be up to seven pages in length. The page length restrictions
were determined by the need to keep the proceedings to about 500 pages in total
length.
These procedures will avoid
having to give the copyright for these papers to a publisher. We plan to
post the papers for the ICCF-14 proceedings on the www.lenr-canr.org website, and possibly
other sites. If any authors do not want their papers posted on the web,
please be sure to make that clear to the conference chairmen.
Thank you to all presenters
for your work before and at the conference, your willingness to contribute to
the proceedings, and for your consideration and adherence to the above
guidance. We expect that the ICCF-14 papers will be useful both to
conference participants and to the growing number of people who are interested
in our field, especially students.
with best regards,
Dave Nagel and Mike Melich”
We hope the Proceedings of ICCF14 will be published
as soon as possible accompanying the Proceedings
of ICCF13.
