29. Breu et al. acknowledge in their article [27] that, if the small particle layer is not shallow, the RBNP is not observed Canul-Chay et al experiments [20] were carried out with thick granular layers. In their case, inertia always segregates the heavy and large particles to the top, but since convection produces reentrance the final phase is mixed Moreover, Canul-Chay et al. did their experiments at low frequencies where convection is dominant.
30. R is also proportional to it.
