A preliminary investigation of the effects on abundances in stellar surfaces of extensive nuclear bombardment required the calculation of more than 105 nuclear-reaction cross sections. It was necessary to develop simplified methods for using the statistical theory of nuclear reactions to make these calculations in order that the computer time should not be prohibitive. These methods are described here and the results are compared with experiment. The accuracy of the calculations is, in general, about as good as, or somewhat better than, that obtained in previous applications of the statistical theory, probably because the use of an accurate level density formula outweighed the crudity of other approximations.

In recent years, research conducted in the US and in Italy has demonstrated production of radioisotopes in plasma focus devices, and particularly, on what could be termed "endogenous" production, to wit, production within the plasma it self, as opposed to irradiation of tar gets. This technique relies on the formation of localized small plasma zones characterized by very high densities and fairly high temperatures. The conditions prevailing in these zones lead to high nuclear reaction rates, as pointed out in previous work by several authors. Further investigation of the cross sections involved has proven necessary to model the phenomena involved. In this paper, the present status of research in this field is re viewed, both with regards to cross section models and to experimental production of radio isotopes. Possible out comes and further development are discussed.

Nuclear reaction rates play a crucial role in nuclear astrophysics. In the last decades there has been an enormous effort to measure reaction cross sections and extensive experimental databases have been compiled as a result. In spite of these efforts, most nuclear reaction network calculations still have to rely on theoretical predic- tions of experimentally unknown rates. In particular, in astrophysics applications such as the s-, r- and p-process nucleosynthesis involving a large number of nuclei and nuclear reactions (thousands). Moreover, most of the ingredients of the cal- culations of reaction rates have to be extrapolated to energy and/or mass regions that cannot be explored experimentally. For this reason it is important to develop global microscopic or semi-microscopic models of nuclear properties that give an accurate description of existing data and are reliable for predictions far away from the stability line. The need for more microscopic input parameters has led to new devel- opments within the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method, some of which are presented in this paper.

The kinetics of Oxidation of Phenol and aniline by quinolinium Chlorochromate (QCC) in aqueous acetic acid medium leads to the formation of quinone and azobenzene respectively. The reactions are first order with respect to both Phenol and aniline. The reaction is first order with respect to quinolinium chlorochromate (QCC) and is catalyzed by hydrogen ion. The hydrogen-ion dependence has the form: kobs = a+b [H+]. The rate of oxidation decreases with increasing dielectric constant of solvent, indicating the presence of an ion-dipole interaction. The reaction does not induced the polymerization of acrylonitrile. The retardation of the rate by the addition of Mn2+ ions confirms that a two electron transfer process is involved in the reaction. The reaction rates have been determined at different temperatures and the activation parameters have been calculated. From the above observations kinetic results a probable mechanism have been proposed.
