Consider a radioactive nuclear decay series ABC.... with decay constants AA, AB, AC..., and assume at time t = 0 only nuclei of type A are present. Now integrate your expression to find the number of nuclei of type B at time t, i.e. NB(t). [ Hint: multiply by et and use integration by parts. Don't forget the integration constant!] . In the case of the actinide series (e.g. half-life of 238 U is 4.47 x 10⁹ years, very much greater than the daughter nuclei!) show that the decay chain is in secular equilibrium, i.e. all the daughter nuclei have essentially equal activities.

Most materials used in a disposable diaper are synthetic. Polypropylene, used in winter athletic underwear, makes up the inner layer; it is soft and stays dry, drawing fluid away from the skin. At the core is the polyacrylate superabsorbent powder, combined with fluffy cellulose. A layer of fiber (cellulose or synthetic) fights gravity by distributing fluid over the entire surface of the powder instead of letting it pool in one spot. The mostly hat can we of element layer is polyethylene; it keeps in fluid but…
Is it possible that some parts of the universe contain antimatter whose atoms have nuclei made of antiprotons and antineutrons, surrounded by positrons? How might we detect this condition without actually going there? What problems could arise if we actually did go there?
