Wasn't Ishida a graduate student under Steve Jones? I had a really nice correspondence with Steve regarding the NULL results from the Kamiokande experiments. What I heard was they thought they were getting good results with D2O+cement (the so called natural soup) but it so overwhelmed the photo-multipliers of the Kamiokande neutrino detector they were told to shut it down. If I recall Steve attributed that to the natural radon in cement. His gas experiment was D in Titanium and who knows if his electrolysis tests where that well done. All where NULL results.
Anyway, Ishida was one of the co-authors on that Steve Jones experiments if I recall. I hope he still follows the field.
