The last two rows represent the current birth rate of supernovae Ia and the number of resolved DWDs detectable by LISA. Different thin disc models are denoted by \tablefoottext{a}{$Z=0.02$;} \tablefoottext{b}{$Z=0.001$.} Rates $\nu,\xi$ are in yr$^{-1}$, $\rho_{\rm LD}$ in pc$^{-3}$. \\ A DWD is deemed detectable for $10^8$~yr after the second star became a WD. This definition follows \citet{Iben97} and the values are given for comparison with \citet{Han98}.} \end{table}
