Metamorphic supracrustal rocks in the Cogburn Creek area belong to the Cogburn Creek Group and the Settler Schist. These are separated by a melange zone, which has been correlated with the Shuksan thrust zone and contains Baird Metadiorite and ultramafic rocks, and intruded by the Spuzzum batholith and minor younger granodiorite. Three phases of folding are recognised in the schist units: f₁ is associated with contact metamorphism that preceded regional metamorphism, f₂ produced pervasive mica foliation and tight folds, and kinks and broad warps are associated with f₃, which was locally pervasive approaching pluton margins. Mineral assemblages indicate increasing metamorphic grade from west to east from garnet to garnet-staurolite, andesine-epidote amphibolite, staurolite-kyanite, fibrolite, and coarse sillimanite zones. Metamorphic conditions vary from 300 to 500 °C in Cogburn Creek Group rocks to 550 to 700 °C at 6 to 8 kbar for pelites in the Settler Schist. Conditions deduced for metamorphism of the ultramafic rocks are consistent with those for enclosing pelitic schists. Geochronometry indicates that the Baird Metadiorite is probably Precambrian and equivalent to the Yellow Aster Complex of the North Cascade Mountains, Washington. The Cogburn Creek Group was dated as Late Paleozoic (296 ± 58 Ma, Rb-Sr WR isochron), and is provisionally correlated with the Bridge River Group. The protolith of the Settler Schist was deposited around 210 ± 27 Ma (Rb-Sr WR isochron), and it contains 2450 ± 230 Ma detrital zircon indicating partial ultimate derivation from Precambrian basement rocks. The Spuzzum batholith was intruded at 95 to 110 Ma, before the culmination of regional metamorphism. Rb-Sr biotite dates from all units and K-Ar Hb isochron dates in the range 66 to 88 Ma are metamorphic cooling dates. The youngest intrusive rocks, granodiorite dated at 32 ± 2 Ma to 42 ± 14 Ma, postdate the regional metamorphic and intrusive event. Movement on the Shuksan Thrust is bracketed as Albian, after regional blueschist metamorphism of the Shuksan Suite in the North Cascade Mountains and before intrusion of Spuzzum batholith and regional metamorphism east of Harrison Lake. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

A well preserved, fossiliferous Middle Triassic to Early Cretaceous section lies on the west side of Harrison Lake in the southern Coast Mountains. The study of this area involves a re-evaluation of the stratigraphic nomenclature first described by Crickmay (1925, 1930a) together with a lithologic description of the units and age determinations based on collected, identified and described fossils by the writer. Discussions on the biostratigraphy, paleogeography, regional correlations and structure of the thesis area and an overview of the regional tectonics of southwestern British Columbia and northwestern Washington, help to better understand the relation of this Mesozoic section to other rock assemblages in this geologically complex region. The oldest unit, the Middle Triassic Camp Cove Formation, comprises conglomeratic sandstone, siltstone and minor volcanic rock. Unconformable7 overlying this unit is the Toarcian to Early(?) Bajocian Harrison Lake Formation, divided into four distinct members by the writer, Celia Cove Member (basal conglomerate), West Road Member (siltstone, shale), Weaver Lake Member (flows, pyroclastic rocks, minor sediments) and Echo Island Member (interbedded tuff, siltstone, sandstone). Thickness of this formation is estimated at 3000 m. A hiatus probably is present between this unit and overlying shale, siltstone and sandstone of the Early Callovian Mysterious Creek Formation which is 700 m thick. Conformably above this are 230 m of sandstone and volcaniclastic rock of the Early Oxfordian Billhook Creek Formation. Late Jurassic fluvial conglomerate, sandstone and siltstone of the Kent Formation, perhaps 1000 m thick south of Harrison River, unconformably(?) overlies the last two units mentioned. Berriasian to Valanginian conglomerate and sandstone, 218 m thick, of the Peninsula Formation overlies the Billhook Creek Formation with slight angular unconformity. The Peninsula Formation is conformably overlain by tuffaceous sandstone, volcanic conglomerate, crystal tuff and flows of the Valanginian to Middle Albian Brokenback Hill Formation which is several km thick. Nine Jurassic ammonite genera are identified and described in this report. Triassic radiolaria and conpdonts and Cretaceous ammonites and bivalves are also present in the section. The most significant structure in the thesis area is the post-Albian to pre-Late Eocene Harrison Fault which strikes north-northwest through Harrison Lake, separating the Mesozoic section along the west side from the northern extension of the Cascade Metamorphic Core on the east side of the lake. A strong sub-horizontal stretching lineation within the fault zone may indicate right-lateral strike-slip movement. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

The question of what makes a person, or a society develop has been asked countless of times. There are many factors that can influence this. This research will seek to explore whether culture matters in relation to a person’s personal development. The present study interviewed twelve Afghan immigrants living in Sweden and investigated whether they felt like culture adjustment was necessary in order for them to develop. The study is using an abductive approach as the respondents' answers are analyzed in firsthand while the theoretical framework is used as a guidance throughout the research. Lawrence E. Harrisons theory was conducted as the theoretical framework. Harrison was a professor who believed that culture affects a person's ability to develop (Harrison, 2000, p. 2). This research contributed to the prevailing literature by analyzing this topic from a bottom-up perspective by interviewing the Afghan immigrants and presenting their perspectives. Further research regarding this topic would be appreciated as the research gap still needs research to be filled. The findings of this study suggest that the twelve Afghan immigrants do not feel like a person has to adapt to Swedish culture to develop. By rather mixing different cultures and being openminded they feel has helped them to develop. Further, Harrison is arguably too categorical, hence, it is not feasible to categorize people by culture because development is different from person to person.

Ainsworth's Magazine: A Miscellany of Romance, General Literature, and Art made its first appearance in February, 1842. Owned and edited by William Harrison Ainsworth, illustrated by George Cruikshank, published in London by Hugh Cunningham, it was a bargin at eighteen pence. To a greater extent than any of its predecessors, Ainsoworth's was a literary magazine. Previous successful monthlies had been owned by publishing houses, with literary editors at the finanical and ideological mercy of the publishers--according to the literary men. Ainswroth's hope was that a plan, which invests the real property and the real responsibility of a Magaine in literary hands, may give great freedom to writers...and therefore be more favourable to the prosperous exercise of their talents, than is frequently the case under established arrangements.1 This freedom, however, was not to be licence. Although free of a publisher's restrictions, this was to be a family magazine, "addressed not to Mothers only, but to Daughers."2 The necessity to preserve the virture and vacuity of the minds of these young persons was laready beginning to diminate the Victorian literary scene. Ainsworth's Magazine had its initial success assured in the person of its owner-editor, William Harrison Ainsworth. By the time he undertook proprietorship of a magazine, Ainsworth had been a publisher, an editor, a contributor to the popular annuals and monthlies of the day, and had written six best-selling romances. Historical romances; sporting, domestic, and social novels; travel books; scientific and pseudoscientific studies; and biographies were among the books with wied appeal, and they were given serious consideration in the magazine. Not only the books reviewed, but the reviews themselves, are an important part of the context of the writings of the novelists and prose writers of the era to whom we give our serious consideration today.

This study is a report of the results of an investigation into the extent to which native materials were used in the antebellum buildings of Harrison County, Texas; the way in which they were used; and the aesthetic implications of their use. It was hoped that this research might fill a gap in the art and architectural history of Texas, since nothing has been written on this specific subject except a few articles and unpublished papers dealing with certain houses individually or with log construction in general.

Little scholarship has been dedicated to nineteenth-century Texas family life and no published scholarship to date has addressed the more specific topic of divorce. This study attempts to fill that gap in the historiography through a quantitative analysis of 373 divorce actions filed in Washington and Harrison Counties. The findings show a high degree of equity between men and women in court decisions granting divorces, and in property division and custody rulings. Texas women enjoyed a relatively high degree of legal and personal autonomy, which can be attributed, in part, to a property-rights heritage from Spanish civil law.

U.S. naval expansion is considered to be inevitable. When it is discussed at all, especially in recent scholarly works, it merits at most a few paragraphs briefly mentioning that in the late nineteenth century the United States constructed a modern navy. It is portrayed as if U.S. leaders mostly favored greatly expanding the nation’s naval power and that little to no serious opposition existed among government leaders. Naval expansion, however, fundamentally altered U.S. foreign policy. It represented one of the most significant shifts in the Gilded Age, an era often thought of as a forgettable period in U.S. politics with no major political events taking place. If anything, naval expansion should be the single most discussed political decision to come out of this period and President Benjamin Harrison should be remembered for his role in this development. After all, there are few presidential actions from this period that continue to greatly affect U.S. policy today, and Harrison and his fellow naval expansionists deserve more than a footnote in history.

The knowledge about the genetic divergence across landraces is very useful for breeders, once it allows them to organize the genetic resources and explore the genetic variability available. The genetic analysis can be done predicting similarities or dissimilarities coefficients that are estimated by morphological differences between accessions. The objective of this study was to identify the diversity across the accessions of common bean that were collected in Goiás State (Brazil), available in Embrapa Rice and Beans’ germplasm bank, through morphological descriptors and agronomic information. The experimental material was composed by 156 common bean accessions. Two experiments were performed, one of them in a greenhouse (morphologic characterization) and the other one in the field (yield evaluation). The experiment in the greenhouse was conducted using two vases with three seeds each one per accessio), without experimental design. The experiment conducted in the field was done under Federer’s Augmented Blocks design, with four blocks of 43 plots (39 accessions + 4 checks). The accessions were characterized by 39 morpho-agronomic qualitative descriptors and ten quantitative descriptors. The quantitative variables were converted in multicategorical variables. The 39 morpho-agronomic qualitative and the ten quantitative descriptors were transformed in binary variables by creating 236 fictitious variables. Though, the similarity matrix was built, using the model proposed by Harrison, which was converted in a dissimilarity matrix. Then the cluster analysis was performed by UPGMA method. The accessions 101 (Rosinha) x 145 (Pintado)) and 120 (Dobra morro) x 152 (Doidão ou bonitão), were the most divergent, because they showed the lowest similarities value, 0,11. The biggest divergences were observed in accession 152, with the similarity coefficients between 0,11 and 0,52. No redundant accessions were found. The pair 86 (Paraná) x 103 (Amarelinho). showed the biggest similarity (0,84). The accessions were clustered in 17 groups, with cophenetic correlation coefficient equal to 0,75, that was significat by Mantel’s test (P < 0,001).The number of accession per group varied from 43 to one. Four groups with only one accessions were formed, which showed the lowest similarities coefficients. No significance was observed for grain yield a mong the accessions, nor between the accession and the commercial checks. / O feijão (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) é uma cultura amplamente difundida no Brasil, que é o maior produtor e consumidor mundial. O conhecimento da diversidade genética entre as cultivares tradicionais é útil aos melhoristas, por permitir melhor organização dos recursos genéticos e maior aproveitamento da diversidade genética disponível. A análise de divergência genética pode se dar por métodos preditivos, quantificada por medidas de similaridade ou dissimilaridade estimadas com base em diferenças morfológicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a existência de diversidade entre os acessos de feijoeiro comum coletados no Estado de Goiás, pertencentes ao Banco de Germoplasma da Embrapa Arroz e Feijão, por meio de descritores morfológicos e informações agronômicas. O material experimental foi formado por 156 acesso de feijoeiro comum coletados no Estado de Goiás. Foram montados dois experimentos um e casa de vegetação (caracterização morfológica) e um em campo (avaliação de produção). No ensaio em casa de vegetação foram utilizados dois vasos com três sementes por acesso, sem delineamento experimental. O experimento em campo foi conduzido em delineamento experimental em blocos aumentados de Federer com 4 blocos, cada um contendo 43 parcelas (39 acessos + 4 testemunhas). Os acessos foram caracterizados com base em 39 descritores morfoagronômicos qualitativos e dez quantitativos. As variáveis quantitativas foram convertidas em variáveis multicategóricas. Tanto os 39 descritores morfoagronômicos qualitativos, quanto os dez quantitativos foram transformados em variáveis binárias resultando em 236 variáveis fictícias. Então foi obtida uma matriz de similaridade, utilizando o modelo de Harrison, que foi convertida em matriz de dissimilaridade; em seguida aplicou-se a análise de agrupamento pelo método UPGMA. Os acessos mais divergentes foram os 101 (Rosinha) x 145 (Pintado) e 120 (Dobra morro) x 152 (Doidão ou bonitão), que apresentaram o menor valor de similaridades 0,11. As maiores divergências foram observadas no acesso 152, com similaridades variando de 0,11 a 0,52. Não foram encontrados acessos redundantes. A maior similaridade foi de 0,84 entre o par de acessos 86 (Paraná) x 103 (Amarelinho). Pela análise de agrupamento os acessos foram agrupados em dezessete grupos, com coeficiente de correlação cofenética (CCC) de 0,75, significativo pelo teste de Mantel (P < 0,001). O número de acessos por grupo variou de 43 a um. Verificou-se a formação de quatro agrupamentos constituídos por apenas um acesso, que apresentaram os menores coeficientes de similaridade. Para produtividade não foi detectada diferença significativa entre acessos e nem entre estes e as testemunhas comerciais.
