Process and stability of slow moving landslides

The stability of the slow moving Big Rock Mesa (BRM) landslide located in California (USA) was analysed. A detailed description of its geometry and soil structure is presented. For the stability vital shear zone and unsaturated zone were identified. The strength and permeability of the different layers that exist in the BRM were determined using...

Luminescence Properties of NaI:Tl and CeBr3 with New Codopants

The effect of new dopants on the luminescence properties of two types of scintillator crystals have been investigated. First, the luminescence properties of sodium iodine (NaI) crystals doped with thallium (Tl) and co-doped with Sulpher (S) and selenium (Se) were determined. Tl occupies cation sites whereas S and Se are supposed to occupy anion...
