Recent results have strongly confirmed that multiple supernovae happened at distances of∼
100 pc, consisting of two main events: one at 1.7–3.2 million years ago, and the other at 6.5…

Recent 60 Fe results have suggested that the estimated distances of supernovae in the last
few million years should be reduced from∼ 100 to∼ 50 pc. Two events or series of events …

Local recurrence represents a significant challenge in the management of patients with
glioblastoma multiforme. Salvage treatment options are limited by lack of clinical efficacy. Recent …

The noctuids Busseola fusca and Sesamia calamistis and the pyraloids Chilo partellus, Chilo

As part of a programme for controlling lepidopteran stem-borers in cereal crops in Africa, we
have investigated the effectiveness of combined cropping regimes of cultivatedand wild …

We re-examine past suggestions of a close link between terrestrial climate change and the
Sun's transit of spiral arms in its path through the Milky Way galaxy. These links produced …
