Permo-Triassic Clastic Rocks from the Ghomaride Complex and Federico Units (Rif Cordillera, N Morocco): An Example of Diagenetic-Metamorphic Transition

Crystal size distribution in metamorphic rocks: an example for the relationship between nucleation and growth rates with overstepping

Crystal size distribution (CSD) in metamorphic rocks provide fundamental information about crystal nucleation and growth rate, growth time and the degree of overstepping. CSD data for garnet, staurolite, kyanite and andalusite crystals from the aureole demonstrate that the earliest formed of these minerals, garnet, has the highest population density and the shortest growth time. The last formed...

The Phyllosilicates in Diagenetic-metamorphic Rocks of the South Portuguese Zone, Southwestern Portugal

Devonian and Carboniferous metasedimentary sequences in the southernmost sector of the Iberian Massif, part of the Hercynian Orogen in southwestern Portugal, contain shales and slates of low but variable metamorphic grade. These rocks have been studied by optical microscopy and XRD to obtain basic data on their clay mineralogy and crystal-chemical parameters (IC, the index of “crystallinity”, b...

Assessing Inheritance of Zircon and Monazite in Granitic Rocks from the Monashee Complex, Canadian Cordillera

Zircon and monazite from granitic sheets and dikes in the Monashee complex, Canadian Cordillera, were investigated to determine whether igneous crystallization occurred at 1.9 Ga or 50 Ma with 1.9 Ga inherited zircon and monazite. Four of the five samples are weakly deformed to undeformed, despite occurring in a gneiss dome at the structurally deepest exposed level of the orogen that elsewhere ...

the aesthetic dimension of howard barkers art: a frankfurtian approach to scenes from an execution and no end of blame

رابطه ی میانِ هنر و شرایطِ اجتماعیِ زایش آن همواره در طولِ تاریخ دغدغه ی ذهنی و دل مشغولیِ اساسیِ منتقدان و نیز هنرمندان بوده است. از آنجا که هنر در قفس آهنیِ زندگیِ اجتماعی محبوس است، گسترش وابستگیِ آن با نهاد ها و اصولِ اجتماعی پیرامون، صرفِ نظر از هم سو بودن و یا غیرِ هم سو بودنِ آن نهاد ها، امری اجتناب ناپذیر به نظر می رسد. با این وجود پدیدار گشتنِ چنین مباحثِ حائز اهمییتی در میان منتقدین، با ظهورِ مکتب ما...
