For the special case of [(LCu)2Dy][Mo(CN)8]-CH3CN-H20 H, where L2-is A/, A/, -propylenebis(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato) anion, slow relaxation is observed (A = 19.IK, r0 = 1.28 X 10 7s) [109] and for [(LCu)2Tb] [Fe(CN)8]-4H20 , where L2 is the Ar,AT -propylene-bis(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato) anion (Figure 4.12), hysteresis has been observed in the millikelvin region using the microSQUID technique [108]. However, there is no definitive evidence that magnetic slow relaxation arises from SCM behaviour and not from SMM tectons. 

Although specific tectonic environments, structural settings and lithologies are required for all U deposit types, none of these are definitive indicators of mineralization because most of these settings, structures and lithologies do not host deposits. Thus, they are required for the deposits to form, but are not definitive indicators of mineralization. In effect, the only definitive indicators are geochemical, both in terms of U concentration and in the associated elements. 

Over the last decade considerable effort of the tectonics community has been directed towards the development of thermomechanical models that describe the collisional history and the internal dynamics of orogenic belts and continental plateaus (e.g., Beaumont et al. 2001, 2004 Koons et al. 2002). These models are commonly tested against thermobarometric, thermochronologic, and geochronologic data. However, by definition, these data sets only provide constraints on rates of rock uplift or exhumation the surface response to tectonic... 

Geological information of the rock sequence and tectonic settings may be instructive but not definitive, as it is hard to translate field data into hydraulic conductivity values a shale bed may be fractured and let water flow through in one case, and a clay bed may be weathered and act as an aquiclude in another. In addition, a variety of processes lower the local water conductance, occasionally preventing lateral flow. An example of such a process is chemical clogging (Goldenberg et al., 1983). 

There is one important question why are tectonic stresses changing relatively slowly as we can see in the field Definitely, there is a special mechanism of their redistribution typical for a wave energy transfer in a cataclastic medium. Its elements (blocks) can rotate. This adds the balance of the moment of momentum to the conventional impulse balance equations as well as spin (surplus) velocity of an individual block. The constitutive laws were suggested (Nikolaevskiy, 1996), that led to the Sin-Goidon equation with its soliton solution. 

The concept of tecton can be better understood if contrasted with the concept of supramolecular synthon. Paraphrasing Corey s historic definition of synthon, Desiraju defined that a supramolecular synthon is a stmc-tural unit vvdthin a supermolecule that can be formed or assembled by known or conceivable synthetic operations involving intermolecular interactions. The supramolecular synthon concept is backwardly oriented (i.e., is useful in supramolecular retrosynthesis) and focuses on the part of a supermolecule that is formed or can be formed through an intermolecular interaction. The tecton concept is forwardly oriented (i.e., is useful in supramolecular synthesis) and focuses on a molecule that predictably gives supermolecules, thanks to its tailored structure and robust binding sites. 

The definition of model in this regard is very broad. It may consist of simple or compound elements. It can be simple or complex. It also encompasses all mathematical, physical, technological and material-tectonic relationships that approximate reality and its behaviour to an extent deemed acceptable in the given circumstances. The application of the model may consist of simple steps, or form a closely related sequence of steps. Indeed, this extended perception is broader than that of the right bottom circle meant by Borland (2008) in the geotechnical triangle. 

This subsection of the SRS SER contains an evaluation of the definition of the seismic ground motion at the SRS used to define the design basis earthquake (DBE) and includes a discussion of the following (1) seismicity in the area, (2) geologic and tectonic characteristics of the site and region, (3) correlation of earthquake activity with geologic structure or tectonic provinces, (4) maximum earthquake potential, (5) seismic-wave transmission characteristics of the site, and (6) determination of the DBE.
