1911 : An Exhibition by C. Wells
No full textAiming to uncover the code within the work, Hunter situates C. Wells’ project in the tradition of Modern American painting (and alters his perceptions of painting in the process). Cheetham underscores the social aspects of abstraction in the artist's work. Wells’ texts play with language, sign systems and the history of painting lines on roads. List of works.

Spin relaxation and carrier recombination in GaInNAs multiple quantum wells
No full textElectron spin relaxation and carrier recombination were investigated in gallium indium nitride arsenide (GaInNAs) multiple quantum wells, using picosecond optical pulses. Pump-probe experiments were carried out at room temperature, using pulses produced by a Ti:sapphire pumped optical parametric oscillator.
The peak wavelengths of the excitonic resonances for the quantum well samples were
identified using linear absorption measurements, and were found to be in the range 1.25µm-1.29µm.
Carrier recombination times were measured for three samples of varying nitrogen content, and were observed to decrease from 548 to 180ps as nitrogen molar fractions were
increased in the range 0.45-1.24%. Carrier recombination times were also measured
for samples which had undergone a post-growth annealing process, and were found to be
signicantly shorter compared to times measured for as-grown samples.
Electron spin relaxation time was investigated for samples with quantum well widths in the range 5.8-8nm, and was found to increase with increasing well width, (i.e. decreasing quantum confinement energy), a trend predicted by both D'Yakonov-Kachorovskii and
Elliott-Yafet models of spin relaxation in quantum wells. In a further study, longer spin relaxation times were exhibited by samples containing higher molar fractions of nitrogen, but having nominally constant quantum well width. Spin relaxation times increased from 47ps to 115ps for samples containing nitrogen concentrations in the range 0.45-1.24%. Decreases in spin relaxation time were observed in the case of those samples which had been annealed post-growth, compared to as-grown samples.
Finally, all-optical polarisation switching based on spin relaxation of optically generated carriers in GaInNAs multiple quantum wells was demonstrated

Defender: the life of Daniel H. Wells
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Defender is the first and only scholarly biography of Daniel H. Wells, one of the important yet historically neglected leaders among the nineteenth-century Mormons—leaders like Heber C. Kimball, George Q. Cannon, and Jedediah M. Grant. An adult convert to the Mormon faith during the Mormons’ Nauvoo period, Wells developed relationships with men at the highest levels of the church hierarchy, emigrated to Utah with the Mormon pioneers, and served in a series of influential posts in both church and state. Wells was known especially as a military leader in both Nauvoo and Utah—he led the territorial militia in four Indian conflicts and a confrontation with the US Army (the Utah War). But he was also the territorial attorney general and obtained title to all the land in Salt Lake City from the federal government during his tenure as the mayor of Salt Lake City. He was Second Counselor to Brigham Young in the LDS Church's First Presidency and twice served as president of the Mormon European mission. Among these and other accomplishments, he ran businesses in lumbering, coal mining, manufacturing, and gas production; developed roads, ferries, railroads, and public buildings; and presided over a family of seven wives and thirty-seven children. Wells witnessed and influenced a wide range of consequential events that shaped the culture, politics, and society of Utah in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Using research from relevant collections, sources in public records, references to Wells in the Joseph Smith papers, other contemporaneous journals and letters, and the writings of Brigham Young, Quentin Thomas Wells has created a serious and significant contribution to Mormon history scholarship.--Provided by publisher.1634-1814, a Puritan family's progress: the Wells' migration from England to America -- 1814-1838, Daniel H.
