In this reaction we see an isotope of phosphorus,28P, undergo beta plus decay. In beta plus decay, a proton in the nucleus of an atom undergoes a transformation wherein an up quark becomes a down quark. This event, mediated by the weak nuclear force (or weak interaction), results in the proton becoming a neutron. When this happens, the atom changes from one element to another element in a process called transmutation. Here we see phosphorus become silicon, and the equation might look like this: 1528P => 1428Si + e+ + ve In this beta plus decay event, we see the phosphorus-28 atom transforming into a silicon-28 atom, and we see the positron (e+) and the neutrino (ve) kicked out of the nucleus on the back side of the event. Some links are provided below for extra investigation.

How much was bread and milk in 1958?

The U.S. price for a loaf of bread in 1975 was as low as $0.14 (14 cents). However, this was not a typical market price. According to the USDA records, the average retail price was twice that much, 27 cents, for a 1 pound loaf. In the Northeast, for example, the price for a loaf of Sunbeam White Bread (regular 16 oz. loaf) was 29 cents. Interestingly there wasn't any "wheat" bread on the shelves of many stores in the area back then. (Major Bread Bakers, however, did market Wheat bread.)An Update from the Lighter SideA loaf of bread is still $0.14, however it is the same loaf of bread from 1975 so eat it at your own risk.
