Recombination hotspots are small regions in the genome of sexually reproducing organisms that exhibit highly elevated rates of meiotic Genetic recombinationrecombination . The peak recombination rate within hotspots can be hundreds or thousands of times that of the surrounding region. ref Jeffreys, A.J., Kauppi, L., & Neumann, R., Intensely punctate meiotic recombination in the class II region of the major histocompatibility complex. , Nature Genetics 29, 217 222 2001 ref The cause of hotspots is currently unknown, however all hotspots so far characterized share similar morphology and are approximately 1.5 to 2.0 base pair Length measurements kb in width, which suggests a common causal process. Furthermore, recent studies have used patterns in linkage disequilibrium to identify over 25,000 hotspots in the human genome , ref Myers S., Bottolo L., Freeman C., McVean G. and Donnelly P., A Fine Scale Map of Recombination Rates and Hotspots Across the Human Genome , Science, Vol. 310. no. 5746, pp. 321 324 2005 ref suggesting that hotspots are a ubiquitous feature of the genome.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Dissociative recombination is a process where a positive molecular ion recombines with an electron, and as a result, the neutral molecule dissociates. This reaction is important for extraterrestrial and atmospheric chemistry. On Earth , dissociative recombination is practically non existent, as free electrons would react with any molecule even neutral molecules they encounter. Even in the best laboratory conditions, dissociative recombination is hard to observe. In astrophysics , dissociative recombination is one of the main paths via which molecules are broken down, and other molecules are formed. The existence of dissociative recombination is possible due to the vacuum of the interstellar medium .

Unreferenced date October 2008 Plasma recombination is a process by which ion s of a Plasma physics plasma capture the free energetic electron s to form new neutral atom s. Recombination usually take place in the whole volume of a plasma volume recombination , although in some cases it is confined to some special region of it. Each kind of reaction is called a recombining mode and their individual rates are strongly affected by the properties of the plasma such as its energy heat , density of each species, pressure and temperature of the surrounding environment. Especially volume recombination is a very unlikely process at pressures below 1× 10 sup 4 sup Pa because of the conservation of energy and momentum. A third body is needed to satisfy the conservation laws. If the volume of the plasma is confined by a body the walls play the role of the third body. So recombination mostly occurs at the walls. Hydrogen recombination modes are of vital importance in the development of divertor regions for tokamak reactors. In fact they will provide a good way for extracting the energy produced in the core of the plasma. At the present time, it is believed that the most likely plasma losses observed in the recombining region are due to two different modes electron ion recombination EIR and molecular activated recombination MAR . physics stub Category Plasma physics Recombination, plasma ... more details

The R union hotspot is a volcanic hotspot geology hotspot which currently lies under the Island of R union in the Indian Ocean . The hotspot is believed to have been active for over 65 million years. A huge eruption of this hotspot 65 million years ago is thought to have laid down the Deccan Traps , a vast bed of basalt lava that covers part of central India , and opened a rift which separated India from the Mascarene Plateau Seychelles Plateau . The Deccan Traps eruption coincided with the extinction of the dinosaur s, and there is considerable speculation that the two events were related. As the Indian plate drifted north, the hotspot continued to punch through the plate, creating a string of volcanic islands and undersea plateaus. The Laccadive Islands , the Maldives , and the Chagos Archipelago are atoll s resting on former volcanoes created 60 45 million years ago that subsequently submerged below sea level. About 45 million years ago the rift geology mid ocean rift crossed over the hotspot, and the hotspot passed under the African Plate . The hotspot appears to have been relatively quiet from 45 10 million years ago, when activity resumed, creating the Mascarene Islands , which include Mauritius , R union , and Rodrigues island Rodrigues . Mauritius and Rodrigues Ridge were created 8 10 million years ago, and Rodrigues and R union Islands in the last two million years.
