THE WAGES OF NATIVE-BORN ASIAN AMERICANS AT THE END OF THE 20TH CENTURY
A method (100) for tuning a voltage controlled oscillator by changing electrical circuit parasitics includes a first step (102) of providing a voltage controlled oscillator circuit on a circuit board and a plurality of different metal lids each having different numbers, sizes and locations of holes. Each different lid presents a different electrical circuit parasitic to the voltage controlled oscillator. In a second step (104), the voltage controlled oscillator frequency is measured, and the frequency shift needed to achieve a desired operating frequency is calculated in a third step (106). In a fourth step (108), a lid is chosen that will present the parasitics needed to provide the amount of frequency shift needed. As a last step (110), the chosen lid is attaching to the circuit board to obtain the desired nominal operating frequency from the voltage controlled oscillator.
Warriors of a different kind: the declining significance of race among Chinese and Japanese American men.
In this paper we investigate wages earnings and occupational attainment among Chinese American Japanese American and white men in the Public Use Microdata Samples from the 1940 and 1990 Censuses. Overall the results indicate that the net disadvantage of being a Chinese or Japanese American man was virtually eliminated across this time period. The findings support the applicability of William J. Wilsons general thesis of the declining significance of race to the socioeconomic history of Chinese and Japanese American men. (authors)
Crossing Borders: Time, Memory, and the Construction of Identity in Song of the Exile
This article analyzes the construction of memory in Ann Hui's Song of the Exile as it intersects with issues of cultural identity, national allegory, and women's autobiographies.
