Whiskey and Write: How Journalism Shaped the Rise and Fall of Prohibition

At the dawn of national Prohibition, the movement had large support in national media; by repeal, the media was leading the charge against the Dry movement. This thesis posits that journalism of the age helped shape the narrative around the enactment of the 18th Amendment and was equally culpable in ultimately getting repeal passed. Study of many newspapers of the era reveal a shift in narrative over the course of the early 20th century, as Prohibition went from movement to reality to past in just over three decades. Variables like religious affiliation, views on suffrage, organized crime and even the dichotomy between urban and rural life could and did reshape narratives over the life of the temperance movement. Research remains to be done on the subject, but this finding offers a clear change in tone from the start of Prohibition and its repeal

SIFTIR: Spectro-polarimetric Imaging Fourier Transform Spectrometer for the InfraRed

Observations of evolved stars in the infrared are well suited for studies of dusty environments, providing a wealth of absorption and emission bands with which to diagnose grain characteristics. We are currently developing an instrument that will employ a Fourier transform spectrometer in conjunction with TNTCAM2 (Klebe et al. 1998), an imaging polarimeter. The FTS component will enhance TNTCAM2, giving the instrument a maximum resolution of 2000 at 10 11m. The FTS is capable of operating between 2-15 11m, but polarimetry for the instrument is limited to the 8-15 11m region due to waveplate/wiregrid characteristics. SIFTIR, the Spectro-polarimetric Imaging Fourier Transform spectrometer for the InfraRed, will build upon the results of TNTCAM2 (Jurgenson et al. 2003). Imaging polarimetry has the potential to trace polarization magnitude and P.A. changes throughout an extended region of interest. TNTCAM2, though capable of a fair degree of spatial resolution, lacked spectral resolution needed to carry out the analysis for approximating grain shapes (e.g. Hildebrand & Dragovan 1995). Holloway et al. (2002), established correlations in polarization magnitude and position angle between the 10 11m silicate feature and the 3 11m water ice feature in a small sample ofYSO\u27s. The existence of a correlation makes plausible the argument that silicate grains might provide nucleation sites for grain growth in a core-mantle arrangement. SIFTIR not only has the capability to cover both the near and mid-IR spectral regions to check for polarization correlations, but will also have the resolution necessary to characterize the grain shapes

First Experimental Demonstration of Gate-all-around III-V MOSFET by Top-down Approach

The first inversion-mode gate-all-around (GAA) III-V MOSFETs are experimentally demonstrated with a high mobility In0.53Ga0.47As channel and atomic-layer-deposited (ALD) Al2O3/WN gate stacks by a top-down approach. A well-controlled InGaAs nanowire release process and a novel ALD high-k/metal gate process has been developed to enable the fabrication of III-V GAA MOSFETs. Well-behaved on-state and off-state performance has been achieved with channel length (Lch) down to 50nm. A detailed scaling metrics study (S.S., DIBL, VT) with Lch of 50nm - 110nm and fin width (WFin) of 30nm - 50nm are carried out, showing the immunity to short channel effects with the advanced 3D structure. The GAA structure has provided a viable path towards ultimate scaling of III-V MOSFETs.Comment: IEEE IEDM 2011 pp. 769-772; Structures are valuable for low-dimensional physics stud
