TL;DR: Differences in contact-prejudice relationships among members of minority and majority status groups are examined, using data from a larger meta-analytic study of the effects of intergroup contact.
Abstract: Considerable research has shown that greater intergroup contact corresponds with lower intergroup prejudice, yet little is known regarding how the relationships between contact and prejudice may vary for members of minority and majority status groups. The present research examined differences in contact-prejudice relationships among members of minority and majority status groups, using data from a larger meta-analytic study of the effects of intergroup contact. Results indicate that the relationships between contact and prejudice tend to be weaker among members of minority status groups than among members of majority status groups. Moreover, establishing Allport's (1954) proposed conditions for optimal intergroup contact significantly predicts stronger contact-prejudice relationships among members of majority status groups, but not among members of minority status groups. Implications of these findings for future research on contact between minority and majority status groups are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the lattice thermal conductivity of graphene is dominated by contributions from the out-of-plane or flexural phonon modes, previously thought to be negligible.
Abstract: We show through an exact numerical solution of the phonon Boltzmann equation that the lattice thermal conductivity of graphene is dominated by contributions from the out-of-plane or flexural phonon modes, previously thought to be negligible. We connect this unexpected result to the anomalously large density of states of flexural phonons compared to their in-plane counterparts and to a symmetry-based selection rule that significantly restricts anharmonic phonon-phonon scattering of the flexural modes. The result is found to hold in the presence of the ripples known to occur in graphene, phonon-isotopic impurity scattering, and rigidity of the flexural phonon branch arising from the long-wavelength coupling between flexural and in-plane modes. Finally, accurate inclusion of the momentum conserving Normal phonon-phonon scattering processes within the context of a full solution of the phonon Boltzmann equation are shown to be essential in accurately describing the graphene thermal conductivity, in contrast to the more commonly used relaxation time and long wavelength approximations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of the oceanic chemistries of the bioactive trace metals, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn, combining field data with results from laboratory phytoplankton culture-trace metal studies and speculate on the potential influences of these trace metals on oceanic plankton production and species composition.
Abstract: We present an overview of the oceanic chemistries of the bioactive trace metals, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, and Zn; we combine field data with results from laboratory phytoplankton culture-trace metal studies and speculate on the potential influences of these trace metals on oceanic plankton production and species composition. Most field studies have focused on the effects of single metals. However, we propose that synergistic and antagonistic interactions between multiple trace metals could be very important in the oceans. Trace metal antagonisms that may prove particularly important are those between Cu and the potential biolimiting metals Fe, Mn, and Zn. These antagonistic interactions could have the greatest influence on biological productivity in areas of the open ocean isolated from terrestrial inputs, such as the remote high nutrient regions of the Pacific and Antarctic Oceans. The emerging picture of trace metal-biota interactions in these oceanic areas is one in which biology strongly influences distribution and chemical speciation of all these bioactive trace metals. It also seems likely that many of these bioactive trace metals and their speciation may influence levels of primary productivity, species composition, and trophic structure. Future investigations should give more complete consideration to the interactive effects of biologically important trace metals.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of nucleosynthesis that occurs in 32 stars of solar metallicity in the mass range 12 − 120 M ⊙, where the most recent set of solar abundances, opacities, mass loss rates, and current estimates of nuclear reaction rates are employed.
