En este trabajo tendré estos objetivos: describir las imágenes de la rebeldía en el rock noventero y ver qué cambios tiene con relación al rock de décadas anteriores. Para ello, será necesario precisar en la introducción cómo abordaremos la cuestión del imaginario en el rock y como manejaremos el concepto de rebeldía.

An area in the northern part of the Moine Thrust Zone of Loch Eriboll and in the NE side of Loch Hope, NW Scotland, has been mapped in the scale of approximately 1:10,560. Detailed measurements have beea made of structures such as foliations and lineations and these have been studied and analysed geometrically in terms of their relative age and the consistence over the whole area. The mapping has also traced the intricate pattern of thrust faults which trend roughly NNE/SSW. These thrust zones delimit different nappes and the deformation aspects of these faults indicate that the rheology of the rocks suffered changes during the thrust belt evolution. The easternmost major thrust zone is considered to have been developed first and clearly shows the characteristics of a ductile deformation zone. This zone is interpreted here as the Moine Thrust Zone, sensu stricto. A conspicuous mylonitic zone lies beneath and trends parallel to the Moine Thrust Zone and is limited in the west by a thrust which carried the mylonites onto clearly non mylonitic rock. The width of the mylonitic zone varies from Loch Hope in the north to the SE end of Loch Eriboll. This width variation is interpreted as due to thickening of the mylonitic zone by effects of folding and also due to the different deformation bands which anastomose and die out. Closely spaced cross sections, transverse to the extension of the belt of deformation are illustrated and discussed. Strain analyses were carried out in two different domains of the mapped area. In the southern half of the area, where the frequency of folds is high, the distribution of fold hinges in sheath or curvilinear folds were used as strain indicators. Models, numerical methods and computer programmes for this strain evaluation have been thoroughly investigated. A detailed description of the methods used and tests performed with the constructed computer programmes is given. The results are analysed in conjunction with the land geology and structure. For the northerly half of the mapped area, strain estimations have been made using the grain shapes of the Paleozoic quartzites which are common in the two lowermost nappes. A new method for fitting the strain ellipsoid using three orthogonal ellipses was devised. A computer programme making use of this method was constructed and applied to the existent data. An alternative solution is also presented for the case where the fitted surface is not an ellipsoid. The strain results with the above methods are compared with those obtained using other published programmes and methods of strain estimation. . Microtextural variations in the Paleozoic quartzites of the northern domain have been studied. A detailed textural description and correlation is made between the textures and the available information on the deformation intensities shown by the quartz grains. An increase in the measured strain intensity is generally accompanied by an increase in the amount of recrystallized new quartz grains. These facts are consistent with the geology and structures of the nappes where sampling was done. Paleostress estimates using recrystallized grain sizes have been performed at 31 localities in the Eriboll and Hope areas. The methodology of particle-size estimation is described in detail. The necessity for a standardization in the methods of particle-size measurement is emphasized with examples. The estimations of the differential stresses are greater in zones of greater relative deformation intensity. Although there are limitations and some adverse criticisms on the reliability of these paleostress estimates, the conclusion reached by this study is that they form a pattern that fits well with the geology and structure of the investigated area. Rheologic considerations on quartz deformation constitutes the last part of the thesis. Deformation maps were constructed for this study using ranges of probable differential stress and the measured size of the newly recrystallized quartz grains. It is concluded that strain is predominantly accommodated by internal mechanisms operated by dislocation processes. It is also inferred that the operative strain-rate for the deformation conditions of this area, is between 10-13s -1 and 10-12s-1.

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF IAN M. PENDERGAST-WHITE, for the Master of Science degree in FORESTRY, presented on *July 7, 2010, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: CONSTRAINTS TO CONTINUED ROCK CLIMBING PARTICIPATION IN THE SOUTHERN ILLINOIS REGION MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Jean Mangun In recent years rock climbing has seen dramatic increases in the number of participants nationwide. Climbing opportunities in southern Illinois are expected to become popular climbing destinations as the area becomes better publicized. The high quality sandstone, aesthetic features, and easy access help to ensure that the number of rock climbers coming to the region will only continue to grow. As has been described in the literature with other "new" activities on public lands, concern from land management agencies likewise continues to grow in direct correlation with the increasing numbers of climbers. Although there are literally dozens of published articles in the sports medicine literature about injuries from rock climbing and physiological responses, there is a surprising lack of research on the activity itself. The present study applies a qualitative approach to collect baseline data that characterizes regional climbing participants and their concerns before resource allocation issues develop further. Twenty climber interviews, two climber focus groups, and four key informant interviews with managers were conducted and data analyzed for emerging themes. Findings from the analysis suggest: although a strong sense of community and dedication to the activity exists within the climbing user group, climbers express concern that their activity lacks stature as a legitimate resource-based recreation activity among other stakeholder groups. Differing perceptions of the environmental impacts associated with climbing persist that lead to climbing access issues. Creation of local climbing organizations, such as the Illinois Climbers Association, can play a pivotal role in promoting progressive collaboration among stakeholders groups, which will be necessary to resolve these issues and better integrate rock climbing into the mix of accepted recreation activities in the southern Illinois region.

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo señalar algunas de las principales características del campo rockero quiteño (Ecuador) a partir de dos ejes de discusión: por un lado, los procesos de inserción y traducción local de una práctica “global” como es el rock, y por otro, la importancia que adquiere la ciudad (en términos de su “división” socioespacial) para los procesos de diferenciación al interior del campo del rock y para el surgimiento del “rock subterráneo”. La información presentada es parte de un trabajo previo para el cual se recolectó información primaria entre los años 2006 y 2009. El artículo se organiza a partir de la discusión crítica sobre el campo de estudios sobre culturas juveniles.

Esses games, através do uso de joysticks no formato de instrumentos musicais e do design de áudio, permitiram aos jogadores uma imersão no seu ambiente de jogo, a ponto de alguns se sentirem como astros do rock, independente de qualquer habilidade com guitarras, baixos ou baterias. O presente trabalho parte da hipótese de que Guitar Hero e Rock Band alcançaram o sucesso por, além de utilizarem em suas trilhas grandes sucessos da história do rock, conseguirem, através do formato diferenciado dos seus controles e pela forma como o som do jogo é emitido, diminuir a distância crítica entre a fantasia e a realidade, provocando o fascínio de seus jogadores, que sentem como se realmente estivessem tocando um instrumento musical. Dessa forma, consideramos o conceito de imersão fundamental para que se dê início a uma discussão sobre como esses games musicais atuam para que os indivíduos entrem na brincadeira de ser uma estrela do rock, já que acreditamos que agem de uma forma diferente de outros games mais tradicionais para o envolvimento emocional dos jogadores.

El texto que se entrega a continuación es, ante todo, el resultado de un trabajo creativo, a saber, la composición de “Disfraces”, obra escrita el año 2009 para una formación de trece instrumentos. Sin embargo, dicho texto es presentado además bajo la denominación de tesis, lo que supone el seguimiento de una estrategia investigativa capaz de entregarnos resultados satisfactorios con respecto a objetivos concretos; en otras palabras, la elección de una determinada metodología que nos permita conducir con éxito nuestra (supuesta) investigación, cumplir con los objetivos establecidos y que nos lleve, finalmente, a la confirmación –o desmentido- de una o más hipótesis planteadas. Todo esto implica, a grosso modo, una tesis; y si pretendemos que ésta sea una introducción sincera y fidedigna con respecto a lo que vendrá después, nos vemos obligados a declarar desde un comienzo –y sin la intención de desalentar a nadie en la lectura de este trabajo, sino más bien con el ánimo de esclarecer nuestros propósitos y anticiparnos a posibles decepciones– que probablemente lo que se halla en estas páginas no cumpla en estricto rigor con todas las expectativas que se pueden generar a partir del título.

An extensive experimental programme was undertaken to investigate the strength and deformational characteristics of six rock types containing a single joint under various loading and straining conditions. A monitoring system was set up using a microcomputer controlled logger and the required computer programs for data logging and processing were also developed. For the purpose of achieving reliable findings the effects of system constraints on the experimental results in triaxial testing of jointed specimens were investigated. On the basis of a satisfactory end-specimen condition the results of triaxial compressive tests performed on the specimens of three rock types, containing artificial joints at different orientations, are presented, and the effects of joint inclination, confining pressure (0-70 MPa) and joint surface roughness on the mechanical behaviour of jointed specimens were investigated. A method to calculated volumetric strain in the rock specimens has been developed and the volumetric strain, lateral strain and instantaneous Poisson's ratio for both intact and jointed specimens are calculated. Time-dependency of jointed rocks for the three cases of different constant strain rates, changing strain rates and stress relaxation at various points on the complete stress-strain curve has examined. The failure criteria applicable to jointed media are reviewed and the necessary parameters for an appropriate failure criterion have been defined. The stick-slip characteristics of jointed rocks are investigated and two types of stick-slip phenomena are introduced in conjunction with the type of rock and type of testing system.
