Compound Slides(CS). A compound landslide is composed of a large host landslide... that encompasses smaller secondary landslides... The host landslide is a slow-moving landslide set on a gentle slope(<20°) of epiclastic materials. Its surface is irregular, with depressions, bulges, scarps and counterscarps and distensile, compressive and strike cracks. The movement of the host landslide can generate failures that favor secondary landslides located mostly along the steepest slopes of the host landslide(scarps and toe). Diverse types of secondary landslides may be observed on the same host landslide. Multiple levels of groundwater flow are commonly formed within compound landslides due to the presence of multiple low permeability surfaces(faults, cracks, material heterogeneities, and shear planes). An increase in the water table tends to accelerate host landslides and may contribute to secondary landslide failure. 1, record 1, English, - host%20landslide

Les véritables entreprises d'hébergement Web ressemblent aux fournisseurs de service Internet puisqu'elles offrent aussi des serveurs branchés à Internet. Cependant, les hébergeurs Web de qualité investissent dans des serveurs plus puissants et plus rapides ainsi que dans des connexions Internet plus directes. Un hébergeur Web est susceptible d'offrir d'autres caractéristiques spéciales qu'un fournisseur de services Internet ne peut fournir, comme par exemple des serveurs commerciaux dédiés qui offrent une protection supplémentaire lors des transactions en ligne. 3, record 4, French, - fournisseur%20de%20services%20d%27h%C3%A9bergement

Several extended framework structures such as clathrates, zeolites and inclusion compounds have been investigated. Clathrates are a type of inclusion compound in which the host forms the cage structure capable of holding guests. The intermolecular forces between the host and the guest usually are weak in comparison with chemical bond. 5, record 7, English, - inclusion%20complex
Record number: 7, Textual support number: 1 OBS
There is no covalent bonding between guest and host, the attraction being generally due to van der Waals forces. If the spaces in the host lattice are enclosed on all sides so that the guest species is "trapped" as in a cage, such compounds are known as "clathrates" or "cage" compounds". 4, record 7, English, - inclusion%20complex
