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.
Beyond Self-Interest: Asian Pacific Americans toward a Community of Justice. A Policy Analysis of Affirmative Action.
In this policy analysis, four Asian Pacific American law professors make the case for affirmative action, with a special focus on Asian Pacific Americans ("APAs"). The authors believe that affirmative action produces many benefits, such as reducing the harm of racism, promoting equal opportunity, and advancing racial justice. While affirmative action has costs, many of them are misconceived or exaggerated. Those genuine costs that do exist are ones that all Americans should bear in order to move America toward a more just society.
Asian Americans in the Labor Market.
Minorities in the United States are generally thought to have lower labor force participation and higher unemployment than the white majority. But unlike much more numerous and perhaps more "visible" minorities blacks and persons of Spanish origin Americans of Asian background appear to have been relatively successful in employment.1 Although only a small fraction of the total population of the United States (Americans of Asian origin number only about 1.5 million), the Asian heritage population is an identifiable segment whose adaptation and success have proved of considerable interest to social scientists.2 This report assesses the position of three specific Asian American populations in comparison with each other and with whites in terms of labor force participation and unemployment. Differences within and between these populations by sex, age, region, education, and occupational distribution, which may help to explain population differentials, are considered in the analysis. Information in this article is based on the 1970 census, the only data source of sufficient scope and detail to permit analysis of the labor force activity of Asian Americans. Racial groupings are based on self-identification. The census schedule specifically provided for five Asian categories (in addition to "Other") Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Hawaiian, and Korean. This report is concerned with the first three groups.3
