The program operates as a collaborative of Yale, Local 34, and Gateway Community Technical College. This dissertation research began by posing the following research questions: (1) What are the cultural elements of the NHRTP, relative to the program's methods for surviving in and adapting to its external environment? (2) Of these cultural elements, which directly affect how the program is administered? (3) What are some specific examples of how these cultural elements influence the way the program is administered? The qualitative case study method was used to answer the major research questions, using Edgar Schein's theory of organizational culture as a research framework. Data was collected over a seven-month period through observations on-site at the NHRTP office; interviews of university, union, and college staff members involved in the administration of the program; and review of program and partnership documents. The shared basic assumptions of the group (one aspect of the group's culture) were identified when the data demonstrated sufficient continuity and repetition of response. But as data collection progressed it was accentuated that the program functions in a notably relaxed manner, in contrast to publicly-funded job training program standards, and the research question evolved to: Why does the program's external environment, Yale University, allow it to operate in the notably relaxed manner that it does? The response to this evolved research question is addressed in the context of two predominant characteristics identified during data collection: (1) the program's lack of data collection procedures, and (2) the interpersonal relationships between program staff and students and between program staff and Yale University human resources staff. An examination of the significance of the primary and secondary effects of these program characteristics shows that Yale University allows NHR TP to function as it does because it serves as evidence of a successful working relationship between Local 34 and the university. / 2031-01-01

Pelitic metasediments immediately southwest of Yale, British Columbia contain mineral assemblages characteristic of staurolite through sillimanite zones of the Barrovian facies series. Isograds are steeply dipping. Two phases of deformation are recognized with metamorphism being syn- to post-tectonic. Pseudomorphs after andalusite indicate that contact metamorphism preceded regional upgrading of the pelites. Microprobe analyses of major silicate phases in the pelites are combined with linear regression techniques in discussing possible kyanite- and sillimanite-forming reactions. A zone some 3 kilometers wide contains the assemblage staurolite-kyanite-garnet-biotite-muscovite-quartz which is univariant in AFM projection. Regression analysis of the staurolite-kyanite assemblage reveals the sensitivity of regression methods to error limits associated with the different minerals present. Precision of the analyses was not high enough for regression analysis to differentiate between stable, divariant equilibrium and a buffered, univariant reaction relation for this assemblage. Pelitic and calc-silicate assemblages from the metasediments restrict pressure-temperature conditions during regional metamorphism to 5½-8 kilobars and 550-700°C. It is suggested that deformation, emplacement of granitic intrusions, and regional metamorphism are all part of the Cretaceous orogeny which formed structures of the Cascades Mountains. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

The Yale Creek area is underlain by the pelitic Settler Schist, Spuzzum hornblende quartz diorites, and minor gneiss and granodiorite. Mineral textures in the schists define three phases of folding. The structural geology is dominated by the second phase, f₂, characterized by northwest plunging isoclinal folds. Regional metamorphism reached its culmination just after f₂. The structurally concordant and broadly syn-tectonic Spuzzum intrusions were emplaced over a period of time encompassing the period of folding and regional metamorphism and served as a heat source for the regional metamorphism and early contact metamorphism. Late faulting has juxtaposed Settler Schist and Custer Gneiss across the Hope Fault, and Settler Schists of contrasting metamorphic grades across the Cogburn Creek Fault. A Triassic Rb-Sr date obtained for the Settler Schist is interpreted as the date of deposition of original—eugeosyclinal sedimentsHornblende K-Ar ages of 75.5±2.6 and 92.1±3.2 Ma obtained for Spuzzum quartz diorites conform to a regional east-younging trend in Spuzzum K-Ar ages which reflects the cooling history of the area rather than age of intrusive emplacement. The date of emplacement of the structurally discordant and post-tectonic body of granodiorite was defined as 32±2Ma by concordant Rb-Sr and K-Ar dates. The distribution of aluminosilicate assemblages in the Settler Schist defines three regional metamorphic zones increasing in grade to the north. The kyanite zone and two sillimanite zones are separated by two isograds which mark equilibrium and overstepped kyanite-sillimanite transitions. The metamorphic conditions near the first sillimanite iso- grad are estimated to be 705±45°C and 7.6±0.5kb from the mutual intersection of equilibria calculated from thermodynamic data and microprobe analyses. Anatectic relations established to date for pelitic systems appear to be inconsistent with, this thermodynamic P-T estimate. Mineral assemblages in scattered ultramafic pods are consistent with the metamorphic P-T estimates for the pelitic assemblages. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Unknown

Nicholas John Spykman, né en 1893 aux Pays-Bas, naturalisé américain en 1928, mort en 1943, est considéré comme l’un des pères de la « théorie géopolitique ». Eminent professeur de Yale, où il est en 1934-35 le fondateur du premier département de Relations internationales, il marque profondément le débat intellectuel à l’orée des années 40, en se faisant l’avocat de la géographie politique comme nouvelle méthode d’analyse de politique étrangère. Son influence est importante dans le domaine, nouveau pour l’époque, de la « sécurité nationale », puisqu’il est considéré, à l’instar de George Kennan, comme l’inspirateur indirect de la théorie du containment de la doctrine Truman. Ses théories réalistes, débattues avec violence à partir de 1942 en raison de leur supposé « cynisme », marquent une rupture avec l’idéalisme des années 20 et 30. Au-delà de quelques topoi, peu de choses sont néanmoins approfondies le concernant. Une recherche bibliographique systématique permet d’établir que 80% de ses écrits n’ont pas été étudiés ; à la vérité, ils ne sont pas même connus. Il n’existe aucune biographie de Spykman à ce jour, même aux Etats-Unis, ce qui peut être regardé comme une anomalie, s’il est vraiment l’inspirateur du containment. Ce travail de recherche a pour objectif de combler une lacune de l’historiographie américaine, en réévaluant la place d’un théoricien central mais mal connu, à l’aide de nombreuses archives inédites. Cette thèse éclaire l’histoire de la formalisation de la théorie des Relations internationales aux Etats-Unis, et des rapports fonctionnels qu’entretient depuis ses origines la puissance américaine avec la notion polysémique de la « sécurité nationale ». / Nicholas John Spykman, born in 1893 in the Netherlands, a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1928, died in 1943. He is unanimously considered as one of the fathers of the "geopolitical theory." Eminent professor at Yale, where he is in 1934-35 the founder of the first Department of International Relations, he profoundly influences the intellectual debate on the edge of the 40’, becoming the advocate of political geography as a new method of foreign policy analysis. His influence is crucial in the new field of "national security", as he is considered, like George Kennan, as the indirect inspiration for the containment theory of the Truman Doctrine. His realistic theories, discussed with violence in 1942 because of their supposed « cynism », establish a break with the idealism of the '20s and '30s. Beyond some topoi, however, few things are really known about this central actor. A systematic literature review establishes that 80% of his writings have not been studied. In truth, they are not even known. There is no biography of Spykman to this day, even in the United States, which can be regarded as an anomaly if he is really the « Godfather of Containment». This thesis aims at filling a gap in American historiography, in a view to reassessing the place of a central but unfamiliar theorist. The research illuminates the history of the theoric formalization of International Relations in the United States, and also reappraises the functional relationships that America has, since its inception, with the polysemic notion of "national security."
