Structural caracterization of potassic feldspars from pegmatites around La Cocha, Villa Praga-Las Lagunas Group, Tilisarao-Renca subgroup and Concarán subgroup, San Luis, Argentina

Entre los 32º37’02" LS – 65º27’28" LO y 32º39’31" LS – 65º23’36" LO se encuentra un grupo de pegmatitas pertenecientes al Grupo Villa Praga-Las Lagunas, subgrupos Concarán y Tilisarao-Renca. Son pegmatitas con zonación, de mineralogía simple, compuesta por cuarzo, feldespato, albita y muscovita y signatura geoquímica LCT de clase elementos raros, subclase REL-Li, tipo Berilo. Los cristales de feldespato potásico de las zonas intermedias de las pegmatitas, son de tamaños centimétricos a métricos, pertíticos y de color gris a rosado. Se realizó la caracterización estructural de los mismos, utilizando información aportada por estudios de difractometría de rayos X (DRX). Estos datos nos permitieron calcular el índice de triclinicidad, el ordenamiento Al, Si en los sitios tetraédricos de la estructura del mineral y el índice de deformación. Los cristales de feldespato estudiados tienen una estructura altamente ordenada, característica de un enfriamiento lento, y con un índice de deformación bajo, que indica que el feldespato es levemente pertítico.Among 32º37’02 “LS -65º27’28" LO and 32º39’31 “LS-65º23’36" LO there is a group of pegmatites belonging to Villa Praga-Las Lagunas Group, Concarán and Tilisarao-Renca subgroups. These pegmatites display internal zonation and simple mineralogy consisting of quartz, feldspar, albite and muscovite. They belong to the LCT geochemical signature, Rare elements class, REL-Li subclass, Beryl type. Feldspar crystals of the intermediate zones of pegmatites have centimetric to metric sizes, they are perthitic and gray to pink coloured. Structural characterization of the crystals was performed, using information provided by XRD studies. These data allowed us to calculate the triclinicity index, location of Al, Si in the tetrahedral sites of the structure of the mineral and the strain index. Feldspar crystals are highly ordered, which implies slow cooling, and they have a low strain index that indicate the feldspar is slightly perthitic.Fil: Wul, Julieta Gisele.

Traquita La Aguadita: Nuevo exponente del magmatismo alcalino triásico en la Sierra de Valle Fértil, Sierras Pampeanas Occidentales

La Aguadita Trachyte, in Sierra de Valle Fértil, is a new outcrop referring to the Triassic alkaline magmatism. The trachyte body was emplaced along a NNW-trending fault zone overlying the crystalline basement. The trachyte consists mainly of anorthoclase and sanidine as pheno- and microphenocrysts, with lesser amounts of arfvedsonite and ferro-eckermannite in the groundmass. It is moderately evolved in composition with 66.5-69.1 wt.% SiO2 and exhibits a limited compositional range in most of the major elements. The rare earth elements (REE) pattern is somewhat uniform and highly fractionated, being enriched in light REE over heavy REE and showing a prominent negative Eu anomaly. The trachyte is enriched in high field strength elements Nb, Zr, and Y, consistent with typical intraplate alkaline magmatism associated with continental rifting. It is proposed to be genetically linked to other alkaline volcanic rocks outcropping in the area, and generated from the same parental source (i.e., asthenospheric mantle source) through open-system fractional crystallization. ɛNd values of +2.6 are consistent with slightly crustal contamination during trachyte generation. Thus, La Aguadita Trachyte could be the result of a combination of fractional crystallization of mantle-derived basaltic magma and crustal assimilation. Radiometric age dating of 218 ± 7 Ma on the trachyte (K-Ar age, whole rock) expands the range of the alkaline volcanism known in the area to the Upper Triassic, and confirms a regional volcanic event related to uplift in an extensional tectonic environment.La Traquita La Aguadita, en la Sierra de Valle Fértil, es un nuevo afloramiento del magmatismo alcalino triásico. Se dispone sobre el basamento cristalino y su emplazamiento estuvo controlado por una falla de dirección NNO. La traquita está compuesta principalmente por feno y microfenocristales de anortoclasa y sanidina, con cantidades subordinadas de arfvedsonita y ferro-eckermannita en la mesostasis. Es moderadamente evolucionada en composición con 66,5-69,1 % de SiO2 y exhibe un rango composicional restringido para la mayoría de los elementos mayoritarios. El patrón de distribución de los elementos de tierras raras (REE) es uniforme y altamente fraccionado, con enriquecimiento de las LREE respecto de las HREE, y prominente anomalía negativa de Eu. La traquita está enriquecida en elementos de alto potencial iónico como Nb, Zr e Y, congruente con magmatismo alcalino de intraplaca asociado a rifting continental. Se propone su vinculación genética con otras rocas volcánicas alcalinas aflorantes en el área, y su generación a partir de la misma fuente primaria (manto astenosférico) mediante cristalización fraccionada. Los valores de ɛNd = +2.6 son consistentes con un cierto componente de contaminación cortical. De este modo, la Traquita La Aguadita sería resultado de la cristalización fraccionada de magma basáltico derivado del manto combinado con asimilación cortical. La edad radimétrica de 218 ± 7 Ma (K-Ar en roca total) expande el alcance del magmatismo alcalino conocido en el área hasta el Triásico superior, y confirma el carácter regional de este evento volcánico relacionado con la tectónica extensional imperante.Fil: Castro, Brigida Marta Ester.

A Medical/Legal Teaching and Assessment Collaboration on Domestic Violence: Assessment Using Standardized Patients/Standardized Clients

Assessment of skills is an important, emerging topic in law school education. Two recent and influential books, Educating Lawyers published by the Carnegie Foundation and Best Practices in Legal Education, published by the Clinical Legal Education Association have both suggested dramatic reform of legal education. Among other reforms, these studies urge law schools to use “outcome-based” assessments, i.e., using learning objectives  and assessing knowledge and skills in standardized situations based on specific criteria, rather than simply comparing students’ performances to each other.

UTILIZING CHERNOFF FACES IN MODELING RESPONSES IN THE EVALUATION OF TRIMESTER SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION

This study uses Chernoff faces to model the responses of students, faculty, and administration staff of a teacher education institution in Manila, Philippines, to the implementation of an Outcomes-Based Teacher Education Curriculum (OBTEC) trimester scheme. Chernoff faces provide a valuable representation to model responses because people are used to studying and reacting to faces. This study used a quantitative research method by analyzing cross-sectional data from the study of the OBTEC trimester scheme. A total of 322 participants were selected through convenience sampling and given a 15-item survey in which possible responses ranged from 1 (strongly disagree) to 6 (strongly agree). The administrators were found to give a generally favorable rating (overall mean = 4.56 agree; overall SD = 0.45) to the OBTEC trimester scheme. The statements most highly rated by the administrators pertain to the success of OBTEC in integrating pedagogical content knowledge training with outcomes-based education, preparation of the students for the teaching profession, and consistency with the K to 12 curriculum. These responses are characterized by the structure of the face, the width of the mouth, and the height of the face, respectively. The most negative aspects of the OBTEC trimester scheme, according to the students, are characterized by hair height, nose width, and a hair style of thin hair that points downward. Chernoff faces were found to be a simple, yet powerful tool to model responses in the evaluation of the OBTEC trimester scheme
