The Channelling Function In Family Law, Carl E. Schneider Apr 1992

The Channelling Function In Family Law, Carl E. Schneider

Articles

On an occasion such as this, we are called to step back from our daily work to seek what Justice Holmes called a "liberal view" of our subject. Today, I propose to do so by exploring a function of family law that I believe is basic, that underlies much of family law, that resonates with the deepest purposes of culture but that is rarely addressed expressly-namely, what I call the "channelling function." As I will soon explain at length, in the channelling function the law recruits, builds, shapes, sustains; and promotes social institutions. My exploration of this topic will have …


Fifth Amendment Takings Implications Of The 1990 Native American Graves Protection And Repatriation Act, Ralph W. Johnson, Sharon I. Haensly Apr 1992

Fifth Amendment Takings Implications Of The 1990 Native American Graves Protection And Repatriation Act, Ralph W. Johnson, Sharon I. Haensly

Articles

In November 1990, Congress passed the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act ("NAGPRA"). NAGPRA provides for the protection and disposition of Native American cultural items discovered on federal or tribal lands after NAGPRA's effective date. NAGPRA also addresses disposition of those objects currently held or controlled by federal agencies and museums. NAGPRA represents Congress' attempt to resolve years of debate between tribes, archaeologists, and museums. Like any legislative pronouncement, however, Congress left key issues to agencies and courts to resolve. This article focuses upon one such area, namely, Fifth Amendment takings questions that may arise when tribes or individual …

All Optical Synchronisation With Frequency Division Using A Self Pulsating Laser Diode, Gerald Farrell, P. Phelan, Joe Hegarty Jan 1992

All Optical Synchronisation With Frequency Division Using A Self Pulsating Laser Diode, Gerald Farrell, P. Phelan, Joe Hegarty

Articles

A master optical clock from a mode locked laser is distributed to two slave twin section lasers. One slave laser divides the optical modulation frequency by 2, the other slave laser multiplies the frequency by 2. It is also possible to vary the multiplication4ivision ratio in a slave laser using only DC control of the absorber of the twin section laser.

All-Optical Synchronisation And Multiplication Of The Frequency Of Mode-Locked Signals, P. Phelan, Gerald Farrell, Joe Hegarty Jan 1992

All-Optical Synchronisation And Multiplication Of The Frequency Of Mode-Locked Signals, P. Phelan, Gerald Farrell, Joe Hegarty

Articles

We report all-optical synchronized multiplication by rational fractions of the modulation frequency of optical signals in self-pulsing two-section semiconductor laser diodes. The effect is based on the overlap of harmonics of the input signal with harmonics of the self-pulsation. We illustrate this new generic function with modelocked inputs rich in harmonics were fractions of 1,2, and 3 / 2 are generated, and we identify a number of applications for this effect.

The Forty-Third Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities: The Sub-Commission Under Scrutiny, Karen Reierson, David Weissbrodt Jan 1992

The Forty-Third Session Of The Un Sub-Commission On Prevention Of Discrimination And Protection Of Minorities: The Sub-Commission Under Scrutiny, Karen Reierson, David Weissbrodt

Articles

Throughout 1988, the United Nations celebrated the fortieth anniversary of its seminal human rights instrument, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.' At its August 1988 session the Sub-Commission on the Prevention of Discrimination and the Protection of Minorities2 (hereinafter the Sub- Commission) noted a similar milestone in its history; it met for the fortieth time since its creation in 1947. While the fortieth anniversary of the Dec- laration has inspired self-congratulatory activities throughout the United Nations, the 1988 session of the Sub-Commission was marked more by self- evaluation. The Sub-Commission has been engaged in a process of taking stock of …
