In regards to opinion of  Dr Roy I must say that mentioned video from above 
is done in the  environment  similar to 19 century   alchemy lab.
- there is lack of analysis  by means of 
-EDXRF   
-Electron microscope
- chromatography
-  HPGE  with Ortec/ Canberra software to  assign energies into  its byproducts  if Beta, Gamma/ Alpha is active after  transmutation.
 Ironically  truthful and shockingly obvious is the fact that all of these Italian chemists,  nuclear scientists, engineers
didn't have access  to the listed by me  equipment in their Italian Universities
and I have all of it in my lab..also  the  place the  examination was provided  looks like church  room, or
old Harvard storage room and not like  fully prepared  experimental facility.,
The weight  measured  was  using  scale that was tragically inaccurate.   I can buy similar one  in supply store for American elementary school.

Note: yes I don't have chromatography  analyses at present time  but that is like go around the corner to the  Hunter College and ask
a professor for help.

Purpose of this debate  is not to prove anyone wrong but to  take all possible sources to create in a mind of the reader  credible or  at least  clear picture of reality seen from science perspective:
One of opinions is that:
Whenever "_some" Russians put their nose  into science we may expect
-corruption,
-lies,
-deformation
-and falsification of the official science.
-or just  pure form of unrestricted banditism _{if allowed}.

-and  Fabio Cardone is taking  Russian  statements  for granted.
What the foolishness

example :
Russians 1 month ago  poisoned  Alelsey Navalnyi with forbidden Russian NOVICHIOK
the military  Nerve Agent :ethyl N-[(1E)-1-(diethylamino)ethylidene]-phosphoramidofluoridate
Official Russian Science  said that  there was no reason  to believe and no prove that such substance was used as they
didn't find anything   from that what was found by independent German, British, French  analysis.

So what about Italian cooperation with Russians and Italian revelations:
_{here is few facts( the rest  I'll add later.}

From Wesley:
I must agree that  your opinion about subject matter Dr Roy is  quite convincing.
However Transmutation mentioned  in  Cardone paper is not stating a firm  piezonuclear  reaction  but is suggesting a possible one.

in this case we are not taking as an example Mercury but Thorium:

quote :
We show that cavitation of a solution of thorium-228 in water induces its transformation at a rate 1
04 times faster than the natural radioactive decay would do. This result agrees with the alteration
of the secular equilibrium of thorium-234 obtained by a Russian team via explosion of titanium foils in water and solutions.
These evidences further support some preliminary clues for the possibility of
piezonuclear reactions (namely nuclear reactions induced by pressure waves) obtained in the last ten years.

I also must agree that I didn't find yet  any other paper but Fabio Cardone in this area.
 but I found  criticism of  Fabio Cardone revelations_.

Fight who is wrong and who  is Right :

AbstractCardone et al. [F. Cardone, R. Mignani, A. Petrucci, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 1956] claim that cavitation speeds up radioactive
decay of ²²⁸Th dissolved in water.
The experimental evidence they presented was criticized by Ericsson et al. [G. Ericsson, S. Pomp, H. Sjöstrand,
E. Traneus, Phys. Lett. A 373 (2009) 3795].
This Comment focuses on a presumably-ignored trivial effect that might be responsible for the reported
experimental results. It also contains suggestions for improving the quality of future investigations.

UncategorizedCan Pressure Waves Speed Up Nuclear Decay?If cavitation can speed up the decay of nuclei in solution, we’ve yet to see good evidence for it.by Emerging Technology from the arXiv archive page
July 7, 2009Is it possible to speed up radioactive decay by squeezing atoms?
In the last few months, Fabio Cardone, at the Institute of Nanostructured Materials, in Rome, Italy, and a few pals have posted on the arXiv a growing body of evidence that it is.

In March, Cardone and co reported an increase in neutron emissions when crushing marble and granite.
Their conjecture is that the crushing causes the piezonuclear fission of iron atoms into two aluminum nuclei emitting two neutrons.
But our focus today is a paper published in February, in which the team reported that cavitation–the generation and collapse of tiny
 bubbles in a liquid using pressure waves–causes the rate of decay of thorium-228  in solution to increase 1,000 times.
I guess it’s not entirely beyond belief that cavitation could have an effect on the nuclei of atoms in solution.
Cavitation is known to generate huge pressures and temperatures. By some theories, the energy released in this process is
close to that needed for fusion. But it’s fair to say that the current consensus is that there is no good evidence that this line has been crossed in practice.
Nevertheless, Cardone’s claims are interesting, and his paper was published in Physics Letters A earlier this year.
Today, however, Stephan Pomp and pals from Uppsala University, in Sweden, cast some doubt on the result and the methods used by the Cardone team in the Physics Letters A paper. 
They point out that the Cardone claim is extraordinary given the body of evidence gathered over the past 100 years about nuclear decay. Such an extraordinary claim should be backed by extraordinary evidence.
“We find that such evidence is missing in this paper and it even seems that methodological mistakes have been made,” they say.
Thorium decays by emitting alpha particles. Pomp and pals say that Cardone and co placed their detector underneath the glass vessel containing the thorium solution.
“We note that the range of the emitted particles in glass is in the order of tens of micrometers and that it thus would be impossible for particles … to penetrate the vessel.”
They suggest a number of tests that Cardone and co can do to strengthen their results, such as measuring the background counts when the vessel is empty or filled with pure water in which cavitation is taking place.
It’ll be interesting to see the Cardone team’s reply to these criticisms; perhaps they’ll be able to answer each point made by Pomp and pals.
In the meantime, the question still stands: can pressure waves accelerate nuclear decay? Not on the evidence presented by Cardone and co so far.

You are again "cherry picking" the research papers, you have not adressed, at all, the most important results, those of the transmutation of Mercury.
I am very aware of the controversy that Cardone and others have faced.

The thorium decay was adressed by Cardone in several manners, but they have published recently three papers on the reduction of radiocativity of Ni63.

You insist in finding the evidence that supports your biased assertion that there's no way that Cardone et al might have found something real, you prefer to discredit their characters and cherry pick the results that have stirred the most controversy, but you say absolutely nothing about the VERY STRONG published results of their experiments in Mercury.
That says much more about your motivations than about their research.

I am recovering the coil from storage for melting point testing. The relativistic theory used tp explain the weight gain can more easily explain the apparent change in metal, from lighter to heavier element.

I plan to tweet Jeffery Bezos if scientific testing confirms the element transmutaion. I was part of G.K. O'Neil's Princeton group and share Jeff's vision.

Ultimately a materials construction technology may include seamless element transition 3d printing.
