Abundances of Zr, Nb, and Tc relative to V, have been derived from 2.2 and 6.0 Å mm-1 spectra of four evolved stars. The authors derive a range in the Nb/Tc ratio from 0.2 dex to more than 1.7 dex. This shows that a variety of time scales are present since the most recent shell flash as well as a range of total shell flashes. These stars may well have a spread in mass and surely show a range in their stages of AGB evolution. The time scale between flashes seems to be rather long implying degenerate cores near 0.5 to 0.6 M_sun;.
