摘要：

We have reexamined Our previously Published data to search for evidence of correlations between the rates for the alpha, beta-minus, beta-plus, and electron capture decays of Na-22, Ti-44, Ag-108(m), Sn-121(m), Ba-133, and Am-241 and the Earth-Sun distance. We find no evidence for such correlations and set limits on the possible amplitudes of such correlations substantially smaller than those observed in previous experiments. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
