Curvature Diffusions in General Relativity
We define and study on Lorentz manifolds a family of covariant diffusions in
which the quadratic variation is locally determined by the curvature. This
allows the interpretation of the diffusion effect on a particle by its
interaction with the ambient space-time. We will focus on the case of warped
products, especially Robertson-Walker manifolds, and analyse their asymptotic
behaviour in the case of Einstein-de Sitter-like manifolds.Comment: 34 page

A Raman spectroscopic study of carbon phases in impact melt rocks and breccias from the Gardnos impact structure, Norway
Raman spectroscopy suggests that the C was emplaced in at least two separate episodes into the impactites of the Gardnos impact structure

How Useful are High-Precision Delta ?17O Data in Defining the Asteroidal Sources of Meteorites?: Evidence from Main-Group Pallasites, Primitive and Differentiated Achondrites
High-precision oxygen isotope analysis is capable of revealing important information about the relationship between different meteorite groups. New data confirm that the main-group pallasites are from a distinct source to either the HEDs or mesosiderites

Stardust microcrater residue compositional groups
Compositional groups are defined in residue from Stardust craters (1-9 Dc) by qualitative EDS. These compositional groups are being further studied by a FIB-SEM technique to determine representative residue compositions

Laser ablation of Diamond and Genesis concentrator target material
UV laser ablations of CVD diamond using two wavelengths of radiation (266 nm and 213 nm) have been compared. The impetus for this work is the 2004 return of Genesis and extraction of solar-wind oxygen implanted in diamond
