Origin of rutile-bearing ilmenite Fe-Ti deposits in Proterozoic anorthosite massifs of the Grenville Province
Creators: name: Morisset, Caroline-Emmanuelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: The Saint-Urbain and Big Island rutile-bearing ilmenite Fe-Ti oxide deposits are located in the composite 450 km² Saint-Urbain anorthosite (1055-1046 Ma, U-Pb zircon) and in the Lac Allard intrusion (1057-1062 Ma, U-Pb zircon) of the 11,000 km² Havre-Saint Pierre anorthosite suite, respectively, in the Grenville Province of Eastern Canada. Slow cooling rates of 3-4°C/m.y. are estimated for both anorthosites, based on combined U-Pb zircon/rutile/apatite and ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹ Ar biotite/plagioclase geochronology, and resulted from emplacement during the active Ottawan Orogeny. Slow cooling facilitated (1) diffusion of Zr from ilmenite and rutile, producing thin (10-100 microns) zircon rims on these minerals, and (2) formation of sapphirine via sub-so lidus reactions of the type: spinel + orthopyroxene + rutile ± corundum → sapphirine + ilmenite. New chemical and analytical methods were developed to determine the trace element concentrations and Hf isotopic compositions of Ti-based oxides. Rutile is a magmatic phase in the deposits with minimum crystallization temperatures of 781°C to 1016°C, calculated by Zr-in rutile thermometry. Ilmenite present in rutile-free samples has higher Xhem (hematite proportion in ilmenite), higher high field strength element concentrations (Xhem = 30-17; Nb = 16.1-30.5 ppm; Ta 1.28-1.70 ppm), and crystallized at higher temperatures than ilmenite with more fractionated compositions (Xhem = 21-11; Nb = 1.36-3.11 ppm; Ta = <0.18 ppm) from rutile-bearing rocks. The oxide deposits formed by density segregation and accumulation at the bottom of magma reservoirs, in conditions closed to oxygen, from magmas enriched in Fe and Ti. The initial ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷ Hf of rutile and ilmenite (Saint Urbain [SU] = 0.28219-0.28227, Big Island [BI] = 0.28218-0.28222), and the initial Pb isotopic ratios (e.g.²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴ Pb: SU = 17.134-17.164, BI = 17.012-17.036) and ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶ Sr (SU = 0.70399-0.70532, BI = 0.70412-0.70427) of plagioclase from the deposits overlap with the initial isotopic ratios of ilmenite and plagioclase from each host anorthosite, which indicates that they have common parent magmas and sources. The parent magmas were derived from a relatively depleted mantle reservoir that appears to be the primary source of all Grenvillian anorthosite massifs and existed for --600 m.y. along the margin of Laurentia during the Proterozoic.

description: Antibodies 192wt and 7a6 only detect sAPP in brain soluble fractions of wildtype mice. To test the specificity of the antibodies 7A6 and 192wt we compared brain soluble fractions of wildtype and APP ko mice. Here, we could show that by using the corresponding antibodies both sAPPα and sAPPβ are detectable in brain soluble fractions of wildtype, but are lacking in those of APP ko. Since APLP2 can also be detected in APP ko brain membrane fractions, we show that the knock-out is restricted to APP and does not involve other members of the APP family. (PDF 646 kb)
Geologically-constrained UBC–GIF gravity and magnetic inversions with examples from the Agnew-Wiluna greenstone belt, Western Australia
Creators: name: Williams, Nicholas Cory
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: Geologically-constrained inversion of geophysical data is a powerful method for predicting geology beneath cover. The process seeks 3D physical property models that are consistent with the geology and explain measured geophysical responses. The recovered models can guide mineral explorers to prospective host rocks, structures, alteration and mineralisation. This thesis provides a comprehensive analysis of how the University of British Columbia Geophysical Inversion Facility (UBC–GIF) gravity and magnetic inversions can be applied to subsurface mapping and exploration by demonstrating the necessary approach, data types, and typical results. The non-uniqueness of inversion demands that geological information be included. Commonly available geological data, including structural and physical property measurements, mapping, drilling, and 3D interpretations, can be translated into appropriate inversion constraints using tools developed herein. Surface information provides the greatest improvement in the reliability of recovered models; drilling information enhances resolution at depth. The process used to prepare inversions is as important as the geological constraints themselves. Use of a systematic workflow, as developed in this study, minimises any introduced ambiguity. Key steps include defining the problem, preparing the data, setting inversion parameters and developing geological constraints. Once reliable physical property models are recovered they must be interpreted in a geological context. Where alteration and mineralisation occupy significant volumes, the mineralogy associated with the physical properties can be identified; otherwise a lithological classification of the properties can be applied. This approach is used to develop predictive 3D lithological maps from geologically-constrained gravity and magnetic inversions at several scales in the Agnew-Wiluna greenstone belt in Australia’s Yilgarn Craton. These maps indicate a spatial correlation between thick mafic-ultramafic rock packages and gold deposit locations, suggesting a shared structural control. The maps also identify structural geometries and relationships consistent with the published regional tectonic framework. Geophysical inversion provides a framework into which geological and geophysical data sets can be integrated to produce a holistic prediction of the subsurface. The best possible result is one that cannot be dismissed as inconsistent with some piece of geological knowledge. Such a model can only be recovered by including all available geological knowledge using a consistent workflow process.

Seismic absorption estimation and compensation
Creators: name: Zhang, Changjun
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: As seismic waves travel through the earth, the visco-elasticity of the earth's medium will cause energy dissipation and waveform distortion. This phenomenon is referred to as seismic absorption or attenuation. The absorptive property of a medium can be described by a quality factor Q, which determines the energy decay and a velocity dispersion relationship. Four new ideas have been developed in this thesis to deal with the estimation and application of seismic absorption. By assuming that the amplitude spectrum of a seismic wavelet may be modeled by that of a Ricker wavelet, an analytical relation has been derived to estimate a quality factor from the seismic data peak frequency variation with time. This relation plays a central role in quality factor estimation problems. To estimate interval Q for reservoir description, a method called reflectivity guided seismic attenuation analysis is proposed. This method first estimates peak frequencies at a common midpoint location, then correlates the peak frequency with sparsely-distributed reflectivities, and finally calculates Q values from the peak frequencies at the reflectivity locations. The peak frequency is estimated from the prestack CMP gather using peak frequency variation with offset analysis which is similar to amplitude variation with offset analysis in implementation. The estimated Q section has the same layer boundaries of the acoustic impedance or other layer properties. Therefore, the seismic attenuation property obtained with the guide of reflectivity is easy to interpret for the purpose of reservoir description. To overcome the instability problem of conventional inverse Q filtering, Q compensation is formulated as a least-squares (LS) inverse problem based on statistical theory. The matrix of forward modeling is composed of time-variant wavelets. The LS de-absorption is solved by an iterative non-parametric approach. To compensate for absorption in migrated seismic sections, a refocusing technique is developed using non-stationary multi-dimensional deconvolution. A numerical method is introduced to calculate the blurring function in layered media, and a least squares inverse scheme is used to remove the blurring effect in order to refocus the migrated image. This refocusing process can be used as an alternative to regular migration with absorption compensation.

description: Villa Destructions in Gallia Belgica and Germania Inferior. Reviewing the Evidence for Rural Conflagrations in the 3rd Century
The destruction of settlements is an important but problematic element of rural occupation in 3rd century Northwestern Gaul and is rooted in the narrative of a »3rd century crisis«. Destruction horizons proliferate at a wide range of site types and are tied to well-attested depopulation pulses in Gallia Belgica and Roman Germany. Despite this, destruction is a poorly understood element to the 3rd century changes. This paper examines the historiography behind these horizons and addresses their archaeological representation using villas as a coherent dataset. It provides an initial overview of the evidence and presents a new methodology for assessing and characterising these horizons. In this, the paper intends to provide a status quaestionis of our current understanding of the phenomenon and a jumping-off point for future work.

description: Identifying the Roman Aqueduct of Brigetio (Komárom-Szőny, Komárom-Esztergom County / HU) Using Historical Sources, Maps, GIS Modelling and Non-Destructive Methods
Archival data, GIS modelling, non-destructive archaeological methods and geodetic measurements are regularly used to study sections of Roman aqueducts and their hydraulic engineering. However, the starting points of these investigations are the remains and known ruins of excavated aqueducts. The present study takes the reverse approach. It describes how the Roman aqueduct of Brigetio (Komárom-Szőny, Komárom-Esztergom county / HU) was rediscovered in three steps. First, all the relevant archival and modern data regarding the location of the aqueduct, especially its starting and end points, were summarized. Then, an evenly sloping course prediction was manually created by using the elevation of the starting and end points. Finally, on-site non-destructive surveys were undertaken to find a section of the aqueduct. The results suggest that the reversed methodology developed here is useful in the detection of ancient aqueducts and is likely to be suitable for the discovery of all types of gravity-based conduits from all historical periods.

description: Ein Monument für Gott (und Kaiser). Zur Datierung des sog. Tiberiuspfeilers aus Nijmegen
Der sog. Tiberiuspfeiler gehört mit seinem Bezug zu Tiberius zu den wenigen Steinmonumenten der frühen Kaiserzeit aus den Nordwestprovinzen, die sich zeitlich in einen engeren Rahmen einordnen lassen. In Verbindung mit seinem reichen Bild- und Ornamentdekor macht ihn dies zu einem der zentralen Denkmäler dieses Zeitraums. Trotz seiner Bedeutung sind viele Fragen rund um das Monument bisher nicht geklärt oder erst gar nicht gestellt worden. Ziel dieses kurzen Beitrages ist es, die Datierung des Pfeilers auf die Jahre 12–14 n. Chr. zu konkretisieren und damit auch seine Interpretation auf eine neue Basis zu stellen.

description: Amber Processing and Exchange at the La Tène Culture Settlement in Samborowice (Pow. Racibórz / PL)
Amber ornaments and traces of raw amber processing were discovered during fieldwork in two settlements located in Samborowice, Upper Silesia. Based on the accompanying finds (pottery, glass, metal ornaments and parts of clothing), they can be dated back to the early stages of the Middle La Tène period. The finds come from the well-preserved remains of buildings, which indicate that the people who lived there took part in trade directed towards both the south – fellow Celtic communities of the Carpathian Basin – as well as to the north – communities of the Germanic cultural circle. Some of the amber objects presented in this work were made using a lathe, indicating considerable sophistication on the part of local amber craftsmen.

description: ADAM10 protein levels are not altered in Mep1b−/− animals. To exclude that the lack of meprin β has any effect on ADAM10 levels, which could affect sAPP levels, we analyzed lysates of whole brains from 16 week old Mep1b−/− and wt animals via SDS-PAGE. By using a C-terminal polyclonal ADAM10 antibody (pineda) we detected neither a difference on levels of mature ADAM10 nor on levels of the pro form proADAM10. Therefore, we suggest that, when meprin β is lacking, the increase of sAPPα levels is indeed a result of higher substrate availability for ADAM10 which is independent on a lacking ADAM10/meprin β interaction.

description: Seminal work by Werker and colleagues (Stager & Werker [1997]Nature, 388, 381-382) has found that 14-month-old infants do not show evidence for learning minimal pairs in the habituation-switch paradigm. However, when multiple speakers produce the minimal pair in acoustically variable ways, infants' performance improves in comparison to a single speaker condition (Rost & McMurray [2009]Developmental Science, 12, 339-349). The current study further extends these results and assesses how different kinds of input variability affect 14-month-olds' minimal pair learning in the habituation-switch paradigm testing German learning infants. The first two experiments investigated word learning when the labels were spoken by a single speaker versus when the labels were spoken by multiple speakers. In the third experiment we studied whether non-acoustic variability, implemented by visual variability of the objects presented together with the labels, would also affect minimal pair learning. We found enhanced learning in the multiple speakers compared to the single speaker condition, confirming previous findings with English-learning infants. In contrast, visual variability of the presented objects did not support learning. These findings both confirm and better delimit the beneficial role of speech-specific variability in minimal pair learning. Finally, we review different proposals on the mechanisms via which variability confers benefits to learning and outline what may be likely principles that underlie this benefit. We highlight among these the multiplicity of acoustic cues signalling phonemic contrasts and the presence of relations among these cues. It is in these relations where we trace part of the source for the apparent paradoxical benefit of variability in learning.

Wrangellia flood basalts in Alaska, Yukon, and British Columbia : exploring the growth and magmatic history of a late Triassic oceanic plateau
Creators: name: Greene, Andrew R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Wrangellia flood basalts are parts of an oceanic plateau that formed in the eastern Panthalassic Ocean (ca. 230-225 Ma). The volcanic stratigraphy presently extends >2300 km in British Columbia, Yukon, and Alaska. The field relationships, age, and geochemistry have been examined to provide constraints on the construction of oceanic plateaus, duration of volcanism, source of magmas, and the conditions of melting and magmatic evolution for the volcanic stratigraphy. Wrangellia basalts on Vancouver Island (Karmutsen Formation) form an emergent sequence consisting of basal sills, submarine flows (>3 km), pillow breccia and hyaloclastite (<1 1cm), and subaerial flows (>1.5 km). Karmutsen stratigraphy overlies Devonian to Permian volcanic arc (~380-355 Ma) and sedimentary sequences and is overlain by Late Triassic limestone. The Karmutsen basalts are predominantly homogeneous tholeiitic basalt (6-8 wt% MgO); however, the submarine part of the stratigraphy, on northern Vancouver Island, contains picritic pillow basalts (9-20 wt% MgO). Both lava groups have overlapping initial EHf and ENd, indicating a common, ocean island basalt (OIB)-type Pacific mantle source similar to the source of basalts from the Ontong Java and Caribbean Plateaus. The major-element chemistry of picrites indicates extensive melting (23-27%) of anomalously hot mantle (~1500°C), which is consistent with an origin from a mantle plume head. Wrangellia basalts extend ~450 km across southern Alaska (Wrangell Mountains and Alaska Range) and through southwest Yukon where <3.5 km of mostly subaerial flows (Nikolai Formation) are bounded by Pennsylvanian to Permian volcanic (312-280 Ma) and sedimentary strata, and Late Triassic limestone. The vast majority of the Nikolai basalts are LREE-enriched high-Ti basalt (1.6-2.4 wt% Ti0₂) with uniform plume-type Pacific mantle isotopic compositions. However, the lowest ~400 m of stratigraphy in the Alaska Range, and lower stratigraphy in Yukon, is light rare earth element (LREE) depleted low-Ti basalt (0.4-1.2 wt% Ti0₂) with pronounced negative-HFSE anomalies and high Elf values that are decoupled from Nd and displaced well above the OIB mantle array. The low-Ti basalts indicate subduction-modified mantle was involved in the formation of basalts exposed in Alaska and Yukon, possibly from mechanical and thermal erosion of the base of the lithosphere from an impinging mantle plume head.
