Genome sequence of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum
The genome of the pea aphid shows remarkable levels of gene duplication and equally remarkable gene absences that shed light on aspects of aphid biology, most especially its symbiosis with Buchnera.
Nuclear charge radii of molybdenum fission fragments
Abstract Radioisotopes of molybdenum have been studied using laser spectroscopy techniques at the IGISOL facility, University of Jyvaskyla. Differences in nuclear charge radii have been determined for neutron deficient isotopes 90,91Mo and neutron rich isotopes 102–106,108Mo (and all stable isotopes). A smooth transition in the mean square charge radii is observed as the neutron number increases with no sudden shape change observed in the region around N = 60 . As N increases, the nuclear deformation appears to go beyond a maximum and a fall off at N = 66 is observed. The magnetic moments of the odd isotopes 91,103,105Mo are also determined.
