D. Javorsek,Peter A. Sturrock,R. N. Lasenby,A. N. Lasenby,J. B. Buncher,Ephraim Fischbach,J. T. Gruenwald,A. W. Hoft,T. J. Horan,Jere H. Jenkins,J. L. Kerford,R. H. Lee,A. Longman,J. J. Mattes,B. L. Morreale,D. B. Morris,R. Mudry,J. R. Newport,D. O’Keefe,M. A. Petrelli,M. A. Silver,C. A. Stewart,B. Terry +22 more
TL;DR: In this article, a spectral analysis of nuclear decay data displaying annually varying periodic fluctuations is presented. But, the spectral properties of the decay data were not analyzed and no common phases were found between the factors investigated and those exhibited by the nuclear decay.

TL;DR: The results from several nuclear decay experiments performed at Thule Air Base in Greenland during the solar eclipse on 1 August 2008 were reported in this article, showing that there was no statistically significant change in the decay rate of any nuclide measured during the eclipse, small anomalies remain to be understood.

TL;DR: In this paper, the preliminary results from several nuclear decay experiments performed at Thule Air Base in Greenland during the Solar Eclipse that took place on 1 August 2008 were reported. But the results were limited to a single experiment.

D. Javorsek,Peter A. Sturrock,J. B. Buncher,Ephraim Fischbach,T. Gruenwald,A. W. Hoft,T. J. Horan,Jere H. Jenkins,J. L. Kerford,R. Lee,J. J. Mattes,D. B. Morris,R. Mudry,J. R. Newport,M. A. Petrelli,M. A. Silver,C. A. Stewart,B. Terry,H. Willenberg +18 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results from a spectral analysis of nuclear decay experiments displaying unexplained periodic fluctuations are provided. But the spectral analysis is limited to three data sets, namely, 56Mn decay reported by the Children's Nutrition Research Center in Houston, 32Si decay by an experiment performed at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and 226Ra decay reported at the Physikalisch-technische-Bundesanstalt in Germany.
