TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the interpretation of the sensitivity corrected growth curve as a function of dose, and the effect of changing measurement conditions (e.g., preheat temperature, size of test dose, stimulation temperature) on the estimation of De.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) components, other than that usually termed the fast component, on dose determination by the single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol are examined.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Different single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocols have been applied for some years to quartz grains for determining the equivalent dose, in both dating and retrospective dosimetry studies as mentioned in this paper.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the maximum limits of the Eurasian ice sheets during four glaciations have been reconstructed: (1) the Late Saalian (>140 ka), (2) the Early Weichselian (100-80 ka),(3) the Middle Weichsellian (60-50 ka), and (4) the late Weichselsian (25-15 ka) based on satellite data and aerial photographs combined with geological field investigations in Russia and Siberia, and with marine seismic and sediment core data.

TL;DR: The impact of the changing surface ice load upon both Earth's shape and gravitational field, as well as upon sea-level history, have come to be measurable using a variety of geological and geophysical techniques.
Abstract: ▪ Abstract The 100 kyr quasiperiodic variation of continental ice cover, which has been a persistent feature of climate system evolution throughout the most recent 900 kyr of Earth history, has occurred as a consequence of changes in the seasonal insolation regime forced by the influence of gravitational n-body effects in the Solar System on the geometry of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The impacts of the changing surface ice load upon both Earth's shape and gravitational field, as well as upon sea-level history, have come to be measurable using a variety of geological and geophysical techniques. These observations are invertible to obtain useful information on both the internal viscoelastic structure of the solid Earth and on the detailed spatiotemporal characteristics of glaciation history. This review focuses upon the most recent advances that have been achieved in each of these areas, advances that have proven to be central to the construction of the refined model of the global process of glacial isos...

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The African Middle and early Late Pleistocene hominid fossil record is fairly continuous and in it can be recognized a number of probably distinct species that provide plausible ancestors for H. sapiens, and suggests a gradual assembling of the package of modern human behaviors in Africa, and its later export to other regions of the Old World.
