Experimental samples Three types of experiments at controlled laboratory conditions have been performed to produce synthetic Au-bearing sulfarsenide minerals (Tables S-1, S-2). Two hydrothermal types (MA, CE and LO series, Table S-1) in the presence of aqueous solution were conducted at temperature (T) of 450 °C and pressures (P) of 700–750 bar. The choice of these T-P parameters for hydrothermal MA, CE et LO series is dictated by the following reasons: i) they the pertinent to T-P conditions of hydrothermal ore deposits hosting sulfarsenide minerals in the Earth’s crust (~150–600 °C and <5 kbar) being roughly in the middle of the typical T-P window for magmatic porphyry Cu-Mo-Au and metamorphic Au ore deposits (e.g., Goldfarb et al.,

Then, I have to thank my supervisor, professor. Fatiha KAID BERRAHAL in THELIDJI Amar -University-Laghouat For the continuous support of my PhD study and related research, for her patience, motivation, and immense knowledge. Her guidance helped me in all the time of research and writing of this thesis. I could not have imagined having a better advisor and mentor for my PhD study. There are no proper words to convey my deep gratitude and respect for her. She has inspired me to become an independent researcher and helped me realize the power of critical reasoning. In fact the Thesis writing process has been a long journey for me, seven years of research that would not have been possible without her belief in me. I also thank my wife and partner who supported me through this venture and for her stimulating discussions, for the sleepless nights we were working together, especially these last three months, before deadlines, and for all the fun mixed with irritability we have had in the last six years.

    ASTROBIOLOGY Volume 20 Number 2, 2020 Research Article ª Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/ast.2018.1999 Ceres: Astrobiological Target and Possible Ocean World Julie C. Castillo-Rogez,1 Marc Neveu,2,3 Jennifer E.C. Scully,1 Christopher H. House,4 Lynnae C. Quick,2 Alexis Bouquet,5 Kelly Miller,6 Michael Bland,7 Maria Cristina De Sanctis,8 Anton Ermakov,1 Amanda R. Hendrix,9 Thomas H. Prettyman,9 Carol A. Raymond,1 Christopher T. Russell,10 Brent E. Sherwood,11 and Edward Young10 Abstract Ceres, the most water-rich body in the inner solar system after Earth, has recently been recognized to have astrobiological importance. Chemical and physical measurements obtained by the Dawn mission enabled the quantification of key parameters, which helped to constrain the habitability of the inner solar system’s only dwarf planet. The surface chemistry and internal structure of Ceres testify to a protracted history of reactions between liquid water, rock, and likely organic compounds. We review the clues on chemical composition, temperature, and prospects for long-term occurrence of liquid and chemical gradients. Comparisons with giant planet satellites indicate similarities both from a chemical evolution standpoint and in the physical mechanisms driving Ceres’ internal evolution. Key Words: Ceres—Ocean world—Astrobiology—Dawn mission. Astro- biology 20, xxx–xxx. 1. Introduction these bodies, that is, their potential to produce and maintain an environment favorable to life. The purpose of this article arge water-rich bodies, such as the icy moons, are is to assess Ceres’ habitability potential along the same lines Lbelieved to have hosted deep oceans for at least part of and use observational constraints returned by the Dawn their histories and possibly until present (e.g., Consolmagno mission and theoretical considerations.

MAKING IT IN AMERICA: HOW CHARLES DICKENS AND HIS CUNNING MANAGER GEORGE DOLBY MADE MILLIONS FROM A PERFORMANCE TOUR OF THE UNITED STATES, 1867-1868 by JILLIAN MARTIN Under the Direction of Leonard Teel, PhD ABSTRACT Charles Dickens embarked on a profitable journey to the United States in 1867, when he was the most famous writer in the world. He gave seventy-six public readings, in eighteen cities. Dickens and his manager, George Dolby, devised the tour to cash in on his popularity, and Dickens earned the equivalent of more than three million dollars. They created a persona of Dickens beyond the literary luminary he already was, with the help of the impresario, P.T. Barnum. Dickens became the first British celebrity to profit from paid readings in the United States.
