Herring et al, Queen's & University of Victoria

R.A. Herring, W.M.B. Duval, R.W. Smith, K.S. Rezkellah, S.Varma, R.F. Redden, B.V. Tryggvason. - Queen's & University of Victoria

Recent measurements of experiment sensitivity to g-jitter and their significance to

ISS facility development, Journal of the Japan Society of

Microgravity Application 16 (1999) 234–244.

 

This Canadian Space Agency paper is related to the Queen’s University Experiments in Liquid Diffusion (QUELD) and contains fabricated and falsified data. The Canadian Space Agency should correct the records for the scientific community.

The authors argue that in order to precisely measure diffusion coefficients in liquid metals, the Microgravity Isolation Mount (MIM) developed by the Canadian Space Agency should be used to isolate the experimental facilities from the disturbing effects of g- jitter.

The authors present experimental data in Figures 3 & 4 and claim that diffusion coefficients measured under isolation conditions show a linear relationship with temperature.

Almost all the data points presented in Fig.3 and Fig.4 are either fabricated or falsified.

There are similar problems in another paper with the same title (Recent measurements of experiment sensitivity to g-jitter and their significance to ISS facility development) published in Materials Research Society (1999) 551:269 (6 pages).

 NOTE:The same fabricated and falsified data that were reported by Herring et al. are also used by Smith et al (Queen's University) in Ann. N.Y.Acad. Sci. 1161: 526-536 (2009).  Read more about the fabricated data here.
