1	Paléoécologie du Quaternaire dans la région de Wainwright en Alberta Clavet, Charles 24 April 2018 (has links) En 2012, la Commission géologique du Canada a procédé à une série de forages dans les dépôts quaternaires de la région de Wainwright dans le centre-est de l’Alberta dans le cadre d'un projet en hydrogéologie. Les forages, qui atteignent plus de 60 m de profondeur, montrent la présence de niveaux organiques intercalés dans les unités stratigraphiques minérales, dont certains contiennent des morceaux de bois qui suggèrent la présence passée in situ d'une végétation ligneuse. La position stratigraphique des sables contenant des niveaux organiques sous le till régional (Wisconsinien supérieur) laisse penser qu'ils correspondraient à des épisodes interstadiaires, voire même de l'interglaciaire Sangamonien, des datations 14C ayant livré des âges non-finis (>43 500 ans A.A.). L’objectif principal de la présente étude était de documenter la composition du couvert végétal associé aux niveaux organiques à l’aide de l’analyse pollinique et macrofossile. Plusieurs des niveaux se sont avérés pauvres ou même stériles en grains de pollen et en macrorestes végétaux. Les assemblages polliniques sont le plus souvent dominés par des espèces herbacées (p. ex.: Cyperaceae, Artemisia sp.) et des fougères. Chez les arbres, l’épinette est l’espèce la mieux représentée mais elle montre des pourcentages polliniques relativement faibles. Les assemblages macrofossiles sont notamment caractérisés par la présence de matière ligneuse, de l’épinette et de plantes aquatiques. Plusieurs échantillons contiennent aussi des charbons de bois qui témoignent de l’incidence de feux. Les résultats des analyses paléoécologiques suggèrent que le couvert végétal contemporain du dépôt des niveaux organiques était à caractère boréal ouvert. Ces niveaux auraient donc été mis en place au cours d’un intervalle climatique plus froid que l’actuel, présumément un interstade wisconsinien plutôt qu’au cours du dernier interglaciaire (Sangamonien).

2	Entre stabilité et mouvement : l'oscillation spatiale dans le diptyque "Want" de Rufus Wainwright Mathieu-Lessard, Jeanne 18 April 2018 (has links) Ce mémoire propose l’analyse de chansons extraites du diptyque Want (formé des albums Want One et Want Two), de l’auteur-compositeur-interprète Rufus Wainwright, en regard des relations entre l’énonciateur et l’espace. La notion d’oscillation spatiale, définie en introduction, est au cœur de la situation de l’énonciateur et se déploie sous de multiples formes dans les cinq chansons à l’étude. « Oh What a World » et « I Don’t Know What It Is » sur Want One, « Hometown Waltz », « Memphis Skyline » et « Old Whore’s Diet » sur Want Two, ont été choisies pour la façon dont la relation à l’espace y agit de même que pour leur emplacement dans l’ensemble. La position de l’énonciateur mise en évidence dans chaque analyse s’inscrit au sein d’un parcours, que l’étude préliminaire du paratexte des albums aura d’ailleurs mis en évidence. / In this dissertation are analysed five songs from the singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright’s diptych Want (composed of Want One and Want Two), with regards to the relationship between the protagonist of the songs and the space. The notion of « spatial oscillation », of which a definition is given in the introduction, is central to the protagonist’s conflicting state and adopts various forms in the five songs analysed. « Oh What a World » and « I Don’t Know What It Is » on Want One, « Hometown Waltz », « Memphis Skyline » and « Old Whore’s Diet » on Want Two, have been selected for the way in which they deal with spatial relations, as well as for their location in the diptych. The protagonist’s position, highlighted in the five analyses, evolves throughout the diptych ; the preliminary analysis of the paratextual apparatus underlines this progression.

4	The Association of Libarians in colleges of advanced education and the committee of Australian university librarians: The evolution of two higher education library groups, 1958-1997 Oakshott, Stephen Craig, School of Information, Library & Archives Studies, UNSW January 1998 (has links) This thesis examines the history of Commonwealth Government higher education policy in Australia between 1958 and 1997 and its impact on the development of two groups of academic librarians: the Association of Librarians in Colleges in Advanced Education (ALCAE) and the Committee of Australian University Librarians (CAUL). Although university librarians had met occasionally since the late 1920s, it was only in 1965 that a more formal organisation, known as CAUL, was established to facilitate the exchange of ideas and information. ALCAE was set up in 1969 and played an important role helping develop a special concept of library service peculiar to the newly formed College of Advanced Education (CAE) sector. As well as examining the impact of Commonwealth Government higher education policy on ALCAE and CAUL, the thesis also explores the influence of other factors on these two groups, including the range of personalities that comprised them, and their relationship with their parent institutions and with other professional groups and organisations. The study focuses on how higher education policy and these other external and internal factors shaped the functions, aspirations, and internal dynamics of these two groups and how this resulted in each group evolving differently. The author argues that, because of the greater attention given to the special educational role of libraries in the CAE curriculum, the group of college librarians had the opportunity to participate in, and have some influence on, Commonwealth Government statutory bodies responsible for the coordination of policy and the distribution of funding for the CAE sector. The link between ALCAE and formal policy-making processes resulted in a more dynamic group than CAUL, with the university librarians being discouraged by their Vice-Chancellors from having contact with university funding bodies because of the desire of the universities to maintain a greater level of control over their affairs and resist interference from government. The circumstances of each group underwent a reversal over time as ALCAE's effectiveness began to diminish as a result of changes to the CAE sector and as member interest was transferred to other groups and organisations. Conversely, CAUL gradually became a more active group during the 1980s and early 1990s as a result of changes to higher education, the efforts of some university librarians, and changes in membership. This study is based principally on primary source material, with the story of ALCAE and CAUL being told through the use of a combination of original documentation (including minutes of meetings and correspondence) and interviews with members of each group and other key figures.
