(It must be noted, however, that the later assumption is quiet questionable. Many truths, e.g., mathematical truths, do not appear to describe events).
In these quantum wells, electron spin relaxation time is considered to vary approximately as T −2, i.e., τ e =A e T −2, where A e is a constant, which is quiet different from the assumption of a narrow quantum wells in [2, 10, 19]; and the hole spin relaxation time is roughly proportional to T −1, i.e., τ hh =A hh T −1, where A hh is a constant [20].
They negotiated this transition by means of legal challenges and such racial categories as "Melungeons" and "Black Dutch," or simply by staying quiet when neighbors made assumptions based on cues of class and complexion.
The conceptual framework underlying this analysis is based on the assumption that, during quiet standing, the postural control system uses open-loop and closed-loop control schemes over short-term and long-term intervals respectively [ 102].
