Le gîte à Pb–Zn–Ag de Nicholas-Denys, dans le camp minier de Bathurst (Nouveau-Brunswick), est constitué de plusieurs lentilles à pyrrhotite–sphalérite–galène, encaissées par le mudstone de la Formation de Millstream du Groupe de Fournier, déposé dans un bassin d’arrière-arc ordovicien. Les lentilles de sulfures sont concordantes avec la foliation régional S1, et sont boudinées parallèlement à la faille de Rocky-Brook Millstream, indiquant que les sulfures prédatent la déformation décrochante dévonienne. Le soufre provient de la réduction bactérienne de l’eau de mer ordovicienne dans un système ouvert aux sulphates, dans une colonne d’eau dysoxique à anoxique, avec mélange de soufre magmatique lessivé des roches mafiques sous-jacentes. Le plomb a été lessivé des sédiments du mudstone de la Formation de Millstream du bassin d’arrière-arc ainsi que des gabbros sous-jacents. Le fluide minéralisateur était réduit et acide, favorable à une minéralisation riche en pyrrhotite. Le gîte Nicholas-Denys se compare bien aux gîtes de type SEDEX. / The Nicholas-Denys Pb¬¬¬–Zn–Ag deposit, located in the Bathurst Mining Camp (New Brunswick), consists of several pyrrhotite–sphalerite–galena sulphide lenses hosted by black mudstone of the Millstream Formation of the Fournier Group, deposited in an Ordovician backarc basin. The Nicholas-Denys sulphide lenses are conformable to the bedding-parallel S1 regional foliation, and are sheared parallel to the Rocky Brook-Millstream shear zone, indicating a pre-Devonian deformation timing for mineralization. Reduced sulphur for Nicholas-Denys sulphides comes from bacterial reduction of Ordovician seawater sulphates in a system open to sulphates under dysoxic to anoxic bottomwater conditions, with addition of magmatic sulphur from underlying mafic volcanic rocks. Lead was leached from the backarc basin sediments of the Millstream Formation mudstone and from underlying synvolcanic gabbros. The mineralizing fluid for Nicholas-Denys sulphides was reduced and acidic, favourable for precipitation of a pyrrhotite-rich mineralization. Characteristics of the Nicholas-Denys deposit are compatible with a SEDEX-type classification.

This thesis examines the role of a distinctive group of monastic buildings, those constructed for the use of visitors, placing them in the distinctive cultural settings of the monastery and the surrounding secular landscape. It reconsiders the applicability of the inside/outside, secular/monastic dichotomy, which tends to imply restriction of access to the house, and examines human behaviour in and around visitors' structures, in the form of ritualized hospitality. It is thus concerned with the recursive relationships between monastic and secular cultures, and between individuals negotiating power through their manipulation and structuring of space. This thesis employs an explicitly archaeological research agenda and recording methodology which explores the evidence at both extensive and intensive levels. An extensive survey of surviving gatehouse remains was undertaken to examine the apparent `liminal' role of these structures. At the intensive level, detailed building recording was undertaken on two complexes, at Stoneleigh Abbey and Gloucester Cathedral, whose primary function was to provide hospitality to outsiders. These are used as primary case studies, and are supplemented by textual, pictorial, and landscape evidence in order to investigate what monastic hospitality was, in what manner it was expressed, and how it was experienced.

Public community colleges enroll a high percentage of high risk students. The majority of these students dropout of college. At Gloucester County College, New Jersey of 718 entering students in the Fall of 1988 only 196 or 27% completed requirements for a certificate or two year associate degree after six semesters. In an effort to increase the success of entering students, Gloucester County College gave each student a state mandated placement examination in Reading Comprehension, English Composition, and Mathematics Computation and placed those students who failed the exams in pre-collegiate developmental courses hoping thereby to prepare them for regular collegiate level work. In this study, the possible effects of 19 variables on the students’ academic progress toward program completion were examined. These included: personal and education attributes of the students, characteristics of the high schools from which they were graduated, their scores on entry level tests of basic skills, and their performance in remedial, developmental, and regular collegiate level classes. In general, high risk students were more likely to drop out of Gloucester County College regardless of their initial placement in regular, developmental, or remedial courses. On basis of this study, it remains unclear whether or not remedial courses promoted program completion. It is clear, however, that students who were assigned to pre-collegiate level courses dropped out sooner than other students, earned fewer credits, and with lower QCAs when doing so, and rarely persisted through graduation. Yet, on basis of entry level test scores alone, as many as 20% of those who failed one or more tests were graduated and an additional 16% were still persisting after six semesters. / Ed. D.
