Someone remarked that Parkhamov seems like an amateur, and it might be a little unfair to hold him to "the standard that would be applied to a tenured professor who regularly publishes in top-tier journals."
Let me point out that he is a tenured physics professor at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. He may be retired. Here are his featured publications at ResearchGate: Article: Deviations from Beta Radioactivity Exponential Drop Alexander G. Parkhomov Article: An Analysis of Apparent r-Mode Oscillations in Solar Activity, the Solar Diameter, the Solar Neutrino Flux, and Nuclear Decay Rates, with Implications Concerning the Solar Internal Structure and Rotation, and Neutrino Processes P. A. Sturrock, L. Bertello, E. Fischbach, D. Javorsek II, J. H. Jenkins, A. Kosovichev, A. G. Parkhomov Journal of Modern Physics 01/2011; 2(11):1310-1317. Article: Power Spectrum Analysis of LMSU (Lomonosov Moscow State University) Nuclear Decay-Rate Data: Further Indication of r-Mode Oscillations in an Inner Solar Tachocline Peter A. Sturrock, Alexander G. Parkhomov, Ephraim Fischbach, Jere H. Jenkins Astroparticle Physics 11/2012; 42. A professor with that kind of background knows darn well that you do not add random data to cover blank spaces in a graph. Perhaps he is the kind of professor who is better at theory than experiment. Fleischmann was like that. Still, even someone who is dangerous in the lab knows better than to stuff random numbers into a graph. - Jed
