An intensity-expansion method to treat non-stationary time series: an application to the distance between prime numbers
We study the fractal properties of the distances between consecutive primes.
The distance sequence is found to be well described by a non-stationary
exponential probability distribution. We propose an intensity-expansion method
to treat this non-stationarity and we find that the statistics underlying the
distance between consecutive primes is Gaussian and that, by transforming the
distance sequence into a stationary one, the range of Gaussian randomness of
the sequence increases.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figures, in press on 'Chaos, Solitons & Fractals

Carbon Nanotube/Microwave Interactions and Applications to Hydrogen Fuel Cells.
One of the leading problems that will be carried into the 21st century is that of alternative fuels to get our planet away from the consumption of fossil fuels. There has been a growing interest in the use of nanotechnology to somehow aid in this progression. There are several unanswered questions in how to do this. It is known that carbon nanotubes will store hydrogen but it is unclear how to increase that storage capacity and how to remove this hydrogen fuel once stored. This document offers some answers to these questions. It is possible to implant more hydrogen in a nanotube sample using a technique of ion implantation at energy levels ~50keV and below. This, accompanied with the rapid removal of that stored hydrogen through the application of a microwave field, proves to be one promising avenue to solve these two unanswered questions
