Not sure about most of them (I usually only shut down the memory-hoggers) but jusched.exe is safe to close, since it's just your Java Update checker.

I usually just google processes I'm unfamiliar with to see what they are or use something like this website that gives a description of them and what they are used for http://www.processlibrary.com/
