Radiogenic p-isotopes from type Ia supernova, nuclear physics uncertainties, and galactic chemical evolution compared with values in primitive meteorites
(2014-11-10)
The nucleosynthesis of proton-rich isotopes is calculated for multi-dimensional Chandrasekhar-mass models of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with different metallicities. The predicted abundances of the short-lived radioactive ...

Metamemory prediction accuracy for simple prospective and retrospective memory tasks in 5-year-old children
(2014-11-01)
It is well documented that young children greatly overestimate their performance on tests of retrospective memory (RM), but the current investigation is the first to examine children’s prediction accuracy for prospective ...
Exploiting genomics to improve the biological control potential of Pasteuria spp., an organisms with potential to control plant-parasitic nematodes
(2014-11)
The Pasteuria group of Gram positive bacteria are invertebrate parasites with the potential to be developed into biological control agents of plant-parasitic nematodes. A key step in the infection process is the attachment ...
