The Birth Of The European Union: Us And Uk Roles In The Creation Of A Unified European Community, Bruce Carolan Jan 2008

The Birth Of The European Union: Us And Uk Roles In The Creation Of A Unified European Community, Bruce Carolan

Articles

The United States jealously guards its national sovereignty. This has been reflected in reluctance to participate fully in international agreements or organizations with a 'supranational' flavor, such as the International Criminal Court or the Kyoto Protocols. It is therefore surprising to find that the United States was one of the principal architects of the supranational characteristics of what has developed into the European Union. Specifically, the earliest stages of European integration, which is embodied in the European Coal and Steel Community Treaty, were heavily influenced by US insistence on creation of supranational institutions that could exert dominance over sovereign European …


Career Choices And Career Advancement: Chinese American Librarians In The 21st Century, Ruan Lian, Jian Anna Xiong Jan 2008

Career Choices And Career Advancement: Chinese American Librarians In The 21st Century, Ruan Lian, Jian Anna Xiong

Articles

There is an increasing need to understand Chinese American librarians as one of the largest ethnic librarian groups in American library communities and a renewed interest to demonstrate a critical role they play in the Library and Information Science profession. This paper documents some strategies Chinese American librarians have adopted to meet the challenges and barriers they face. It is hoped that this study will encourage Chinese American librarians to develop methods for analyzing their careers so as to reach higher career goals.

Commitment And Diffusion: How And Why National Constitutions Incorporate International Law, Tom Ginsburg, Svitlana Chernykh, Zachary Elkins Jan 2008

Commitment And Diffusion: How And Why National Constitutions Incorporate International Law, Tom Ginsburg, Svitlana Chernykh, Zachary Elkins

Articles

Drafters of new constitutions face a bewildering array of choices as they seek to design stable and workable political institutions for their societies. One such set of choices concerns the status of international law in the domestic legal order. In a global era, with an expanding array of customary and treaty norms purporting to regulate formerly domestic behavior, this question takes on political salience. This paper seeks to describe the phenomenon of constitutional incorporation of international law in greater detail and provide a preliminary empirical test of the competing explanations for it. First, the discussion focuses on the concepts of …

Bounds Onsome Ramsey Numbers Involving Quadrilateral, Xiaodong Xu, Zehui Shao, Stanislaw Radziszowski Jan 2008

Bounds Onsome Ramsey Numbers Involving Quadrilateral, Xiaodong Xu, Zehui Shao, Stanislaw Radziszowski

Articles

For graphs G_1,G_2,...,G_m the Ramsey number R(G_1,G_2,...,G_m) is defined to be the smallest integer n such that any m-coloring of the edges of the complete graph K_n must include a monochromatic G_i in color i, for some i. In this note we establish several lower and upper bounds for some Ramsey numbers involving quadrilateral C_4, including R(C_4,K_9) < = 32, 19 < = R(C_4,C_4,K_4) < = 22, 31 < = R(C_4,C_4,C_4,K_4) < = 50, 52 < = R(C_4,K_4,K_4) < = 72, 42 < = R(C_4,C_4,K_3,K_4) < = 76, and 87 < = (C_4,C_4,K_4,K_4) < = 179.


High Performance Zno Varistors Prepared From Nanocrystalline Precursors For Miniaturised Electronic Devices, Suresh Pillai, Declan Mccormack, John Kelly, Raghavendra Ramesh Jan 2008

High Performance Zno Varistors Prepared From Nanocrystalline Precursors For Miniaturised Electronic Devices, Suresh Pillai, Declan Mccormack, John Kelly, Raghavendra Ramesh

Articles

An industrially viable solution-based processing route using minimal amounts of solvent has been used to prepare bulk quantity nanopowders (average particle size 15.3 nm) for the fabrication of ZnO varistors. The xerogels, calcined powders and sintered materials were fully characterised. The preparation of varistors from nanopowders has been optimised by studying the effect of temperature on grain growth, densification and breakdown voltage. The varistors are prepared by sintering at 1050 C for 2 hours, a temperature that is significantly lower than that used in the current industrial process. Highly dense varistor discs prepared from the sintered material produce devices, with …

Dual-Frequency Dual-Sense Circularly-Polarized Slot Antenna Fed By Microstrip Line, Xiulong Bao, Max Ammann Jan 2008

Dual-Frequency Dual-Sense Circularly-Polarized Slot Antenna Fed By Microstrip Line, Xiulong Bao, Max Ammann

Articles

A new design of a dual-frequency dual circularly-polarized slot antenna is presented. The dual-frequency is achieved using a single-layer microstrip-fed configuration coupled to a modified annular-slot antenna. The dual sense circular-polarization is obtained by four unequal linear slots which augment the annular slot. Experimental results show the proposed antenna has good circular polarization characteristics for both right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) and left-hand circular polarization (LHCP). The 10 dB return loss impedance bandwidths for the lower (RHCP) and higher (LHCP) bands are 26.7% and 11.3%, respectively. The 3 dB axial-ratio bandwidths are 6.1% and 6.0% with respect to 1.5 GHz (RHCP) …
