A reply to the comments by Thomsen et al. on "Luminescence dating of K-feldspar from sediments: a protocol without anomalous fading correction"

چکیده
We are pleased that Thomsen et al. (2012) has tested our newly proposed multi-elevated-temperature post-IR IRSL (MET-pIRIR) procedure (Li and Li, 2011) using their own samples, which provides an independent test on the validity of this procedure. In their study, Thomsen et al. (2012) found that the METpIRIR procedure gave consistent results with the two-step post-IR IRSL (TS-pIRIR) procedure originally proposed by [Thomsen et al., 2008] and [Buylaert et al., 2009] and Thiel et al. (2010), indicating the validity of both methods for their samples investigated. Based on this observation, they argued that the MET-pIRIR procedure has no advantage over the TS-pIRIR procedure, in which a 290 °C post-IR IRSL was applied after a 50 °C IRSL measurement.

Reply to comment by Huntley on "Isochron dating of sediments using luminescence of K-feldspar grains"
In our isochron studies using grains of different sizes, we observed that the IRSL ages obtained from K‐feldspar without correction for fading show an increase with increasing grain size [Li et al., 2007, 2008]. Huntley [2011a] argued that this result was caused by different fading rates for grains of different sizes or by different source materials for different sizes of grains. We replied to ...
متن کاملIsochron dating of sediments using luminescence of K-feldspar grains
[1] A new method for dating well-bleached sediments is presented, with results for thirteen samples from China. The method uses an isochron constructed from the measurement of natural radiation doses received by potassium-feldspar grains in a range of grain sizes using the infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) signal. The age of deposition of the sediment is calculated from this isochron and ...
متن کاملGeomorphological correlation of the tectonically displaced Tejo River terraces (Gavião–Chamusca area, central Portugal) supported by luminescence dating
A suite of fluvial terraces (T1–T6, from top to bottom of the staircase) occur along a 70 km stretch of the Tejo River in central Portugal, between the small towns of Gavião and Chamusca. Terrace correlation was based upon the following: (a) aerial photograph analysis, geomorphological mapping and field topographic survey; (b) sedimentology of the terrace deposits, namely the maximum particle s...
متن کاملUncertainties on the Luminescence Ages and Anomalous Fading
It is well known that some minerals give underestimated luminescence ages due to anomalous fading. The anomalous fading follows a logarithmic decay law characterized by its slope, the socalled fading rate or g-value. Using the fading rate, Huntley and Lamothe (2001) suggested some correction for the fading underestimation of young samples (<40-50 ka). For polymineral fine grains, we observe a f...

The term "Internet of Things (IoT)" expresses a huge network of smart and connected objects which can interact with other devices without our interposition. Radio frequency identification (RFID) is a great technology and an interesting candidate to provide communications for IoT networks, but numerous security and privacy issues need to be considered. In this paper, we analyze the security and ...
