Patterned low temperature copper-rich deposits using inkjet printing

Discrete inkspots of very high copper content were produced using inkjet technology. The reagent disproportionates at low temperature to deposit copper on glass. These deposits were shown to be more than 90% copper by weight by electron probe microanalysis and microbeam Rutherford backscatttering spectroscopy.

Seismic triggering of submarine slides in soft cohesive soil deposits

The geological profile of many submerged slopes on the continental shelf consists of normally to lightly overconsolidated clays with depths ranging from a few meters to hundreds of meters. For these soils, earthquake loading can generate significant excess pore water pressures at depth, which can bring the slope to a state of instability during the event or at a later time as a result of pore pressure redistribution within the soil profile. Seismic triggering mechanisms of landslide initiation for these soils are analyzed with the use of a new simplified model for clays which predicts realistic variations of the stress-strain-strength relationships as well as pore pressure generation during dynamic loading in simple shear. The proposed model is implemented in a finite element program to analyze the seismic response of submarine slopes. These analyses provide an assessment of the critical depth and estimated displacements of the mobilized materials and thus are important components for the estimation of submarine landslide-induced tsunamis. © 2003 Elsevier B.V.
