The United Verde orebody, a Proterozoic volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit, is hosted by the Cleopatra Formation. The Cleopatra Formation is subdivided into two distinct members, the Upper and Lower, on the basis of alteration facies, whole rock geochemistry and the chemistry of alteration minerals. The Lower member was deposited prior to ore deposition and consists of five major alteration facies. Facies Bl, the most distant from the orebody represents the recharge area for the ore-forming fluid. Facies B2 surrounds the major discharge area or the chlorite pipe. These three facies contain chlorite and quartz as alteration minerals in variable amounts. Two facies, 81 and S2, contain quartz and sericite as alteration minerals. Mass balance calculations show progressive removal of Na and Ca, and addition of MgO and FeO* from the area of recharge (facies Bl) to facies B2 to the chlorite pipe. Whole rock δ¹⁸O values are high relative to least altered Cleopatra Formation in the recharge area and low in the discharge zone. Mineralogy and geochemistry of samples from the Upper member indicate that it was deposited following ore deposition and interacted with fluids rich in silica and iron. The hydrothermal fluid, which is interpreted to have been seawater, evolved to a high temperature slightly acidic, reduced fluid during water-rock interaction(log a₀₂ = -33 to -41; log a(H2S) = -2.6 to -5.0). The fluid δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C₀₂ values increased. Calculated δ¹³C₀₂ and δ¹⁸O fluid values, and sphalerite and chlorite chemistry imply that mixing of the hydrothermal fluid with seawater occurred in the orebody. the upper The levels of the chlorite pipe and in limited range in δ³⁴S values of sulfides is consistent with the derivation of the oreforming fluids from the reduced basal layer of a stratified basin. The study area represents only a small part of the United Verde circulation cell. Increased δ¹⁸O values of the fluid, and the need for a source of Mg, Fe and other metals suggest that the fluids may have circulated into the Shea Basalt.

This thesis argues that Jerome’s polemics against Helvidius, Jovinian, and Vigilantius were tailored to boost Jerome’s status within the Christian community, and were carefully constructed pieces of abusive rhetoric, rather than the result of his famed curmudgeonly character. These treatises are studied in light of both the ancient rhetorical tradition within which Jerome was trained, and modern theories of abusive rhetoric. This thesis is demonstrated in six chapters. Chapter 1 demonstrates that past scholarship focused on ‘Jerome the man’, his self-invention, and his academic and spiritual qualities, without giving adequate attention to how Jerome used these qualities in his compositions. Chapter 2 focuses on ancient and modern theories of rhetoric in order to set out a methodology of abusive rhetoric that highlights Burkean identification. In addition, this chapter studies how rhetoric can define and challenge social hierarchies. Chapter 3 discusses Jerome’s awareness of social standing through discussion of his interactions with three of his contemporaries: Augustine, Rufinus, and Ambrose. It examines how Jerome altered his rhetoric to reflect his perception of the relative social status of his correspondents. Part 2 studies three of Jerome’s treatises in light of the conclusion of Part 1. Chapter 4 analyzes Jerome’s Adversus Helvidium, and argues that Jerome’s rhetoric serves to contrast himself with Helvidius, whose heretical, fame-seeking character illuminates Jerome as a humble and conservative Christian. It argues that Jerome’s rhetoric in this treatise aimed for episcopal authority. Chapter 5 studies Jerome’s Adversus Iovinianum and argues that the polemic sought to extend Jerome’s views on asceticism to a wider audience, and potentially secure favor for himself following his expulsion from Rome. He presents Jovinian as a deceptive sinner with a dissolute lifestyle, and himself as an authoritative savior. Although Jerome attempted to connect to the elite in the Christian community, his tract was a failure due to an inability to identify successfully with the audience on the topic of virginity. Finally, Chapter 6 discusses Jerome’s Contra Vigilantium. Jerome presents Vigilantius as a boorish Gallic innkeeper, in contrast to himself as an urbane, albeit snobbish, orthodox Christian. Jerome’s rhetoric carefully identifies himself with upper class Christians, as well as the Emperor, apostles, and martyrs, thereby claiming their agreement with his view of orthodoxy. In sum, I argue that Jerome’s rhetoric served to construct a polemical persona that he attempted to use to further his Christian career, and shape his own image. While this was not entirely successful in his own day, Jerome’s rhetoric did ultimately succeed in crafting an image of himself as an orthodox and authoritative father of the Church.

The problems of translating English humour into Lithuanian have not been thoroughly studied, therefore it has been chosen as a subject of this article. This research focuses on the analysis of examples of different sorts of humour in J. K. Jerome's novel "Three Men on a Bummel" and compares the source text with the target text. The present paper is assigned to provide a theoretical framework of humour phenomenon, its classification and translation peculiarities as well as to reveal the complexity of humour phenomenon which exists in every part of the world, nevertheless, travels badly from one language to another. The aim of the research is to identify and perceive the main challenges in translating humour that contains culture-specific items and instances of untranslatibility. / Angliško humoro vertimo į lietuvių kalbą problematika nėra pakankamai tyrinėta. Šis straipsnis skirtas įvairių humoro rūšių J. K. Jerome romane ”Trise dviračiais” vertimui. Straipsnyje pateikiamos teorinės įžvalgos, humoro, kaip fenomeno, klasifikacijos bei vertimo ypatumų klausimais. Humoras egzistuoja visame pasaulyje, bet jo perteikimas vertimo procese tampa tikru iššūkiu vertėjams. Tai atsitinka dėl keleto priežasčių: skirtingo mentaliteto, kultūrinių realijų gausumo, kurios, deja, dažniausiai yra neišverčiamos.

This thesis examines the family as presented in the works of J.D. Salinger. Two aspects of the family relationship are examined: how members of the family relate to each other and how they relate to people outside the family. The works used in this study are Nine Stories, The Catcher in the Rye, Pranny and Zooey, and Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters and Seymour, An Introduction.This examination reveals Salinger’s shift from a parent-dominated family to a child-centered family as well as the move from a family group which interacts with people outside the family to a family which has little relation to the world outside itself.
