Introduction To Indigenous Law Symposium Transcripts
The Center for Indigenous Law, Governance and Citizenship was established in 2003 at Syracuse University College of Law under the direction of Robert Odawi Porter. The Center has four main goals: To conduct research relating to the citizenship rights and responsibilities of Indigenous peoples in the United States, Canada, and throughout the world; To conduct research relating to the law and governance of Indigenous nations in the United States and Canada; To provide technical assistance to Indigenous nations in the United States and Canada seeking to reform their governing institutions and administrative laws, as well as federal, state, local, and provincial governments seeking to reform their Indian affairs laws; and to promote a greater understanding of the law, governance, and history of the Haudenosaunee (the \u27People of the Longhouse\u27). The Center for Indigenous Law sponsored a conference entitled, Going Home: A Symposium on the Return of Removed Indigenous Peoples. The Symposium was held on November 10, 2003 in Syracuse, New York. Since indigenous law has international legal ramifications and has emerged as a burgeoning area of scholarship, the Journal chose to publish the legal commentary given at the Conference
Multiple Quantum Well AlGaAs Nanowires
This letter reports on the growth, structure and luminescent properties of
individual multiple quantum well (MQW) AlGaAs nanowires (NWs). The composition
modulations (MQWs) are obtained by alternating the elemental flux of Al and Ga
during the molecular beam epitaxy growth of the AlGaAs wire on GaAs (111)B
substrates. Transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy performed on individual NWs are consistent with a configuration
composed of conical segments stacked along the NW axis. Micro-photoluminescence
measurements and confocal microscopy showed enhanced light emission from the
MQW NWs as compared to non-segmented NWs due to carrier confinement and
sidewall passivation
A Calibrated Time Domain Envelope Measurement System for the Behavioral Modeling of Power Amplifiers
This paper presents a set-up which enables the generation and the calibrated time domain measurements of complex envelopes of modulated signals at both ports of non linear microwave power amplifiers. The architecture of the characterization tool is given. Examples of error corrected time domain envelopes at the input / output RF ports of a 36 dBm output power – 30dB power gain L-band SSPA are shown. Futhermore, the use of this characterization tool and a suitable processing of measurement data are applied to a novel measurement based behavioral modeling approach of non linear devices accounting for memory effects
Limit on the Temporal Variation of the Fine-Structure Constant Using Atomic Dysprosium
Over a period of eight months, we have monitored transition frequencies
between nearly degenerate, opposite-parity levels in two isotopes of atomic
dysprosium (Dy). These transition frequencies are highly sensitive to temporal
variation of the fine-structure constant () due to relativistic
corrections of large and opposite sign for the opposite-parity levels. In this
unique system, in contrast to atomic-clock comparisons, the difference of the
electronic energies of the opposite-parity levels can be monitored directly
utilizing a radio-frequency (rf) electric-dipole transition between them. Our
measurements show that the frequency variation of the 3.1-MHz transition in
Dy and the 235-MHz transition in Dy are 9.06.7 Hz/yr and
-0.66.5 Hz/yr, respectively. These results provide a value for the rate of
fractional variation of of yr (1
) without any assumptions on the constancy of other fundamental
constants, indicating absence of significant variation at the present level of
sensitivity.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
