Nuclear magnetic dipole properties of ground bands and γ-vibrational bands are studied for the first time using the triaxial projected shell model approach. The study is carried out for the Dy and Er isotopic chains, ranging from transitional to well-deformed region. It is found that the g-factor ratio of the 2 state in ground bands to that of γ-bands, r = g(2, γ-vib)/g(2, ground), varies along...

Affected by natural and human-induced factors, cultural heritage sites and their surroundings face threats of structural instability and land displacement. Accurate and rapid identification of the key areas facing existing or potential deformation risks is essential for the conservation and sustainability of heritage sites, particularly for huge archaeological regions. In recent years, the succ...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: InSAR StaMPS SBAS Land subsidence Ground fissure Fault Geohazards Xi'an Xi'an, China has been undergoing significant land subsidence along with ground fissure development. These geohazards have brought about severe damages to buildings, bridges and other facilities. In order to warn of and mitigate disasters, it is urgently necessary to obtain the latest rate, ex...

[1] We use the Small BAseline Subset (SBAS) InSAR algorithm to obtain radar line-of-sight deformation velocities for two adjacent SAR swaths and invert the data for the 2-D velocity field in vertical and ground range direction. The analysis reveals areas of rapid deformation caused by mining and agricultural activities in the Crescent Valley, Nevada, USA. The LOS displacements of up to 25 centi...

Earthquake-induced ground failure, in the form of liquefaction or slope instability, manifests itself as permanent ground deformation (PGD), which can cause significant damage to buildings and infrastructure. Current methodologies for the evaluation of ground failure related earthquake losses are considerably less advanced than those for ground shaking. Most existing damage scales do not incorp...

The small Baseline Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (SBI) technique has been widely and successfully applied in various ground deformation monitoring applications. Over the last decade, a variety of SBI algorithms have been developed based on the same fundamental concepts. Recently developed SBI toolboxes provide an open environment for researchers to apply different SBI methods fo...
