Moving Up the Ladder: Strategies for Economic Independence

Reports the findings of a statewide conference co-sponsored by the Heldrich Center and Center for Women and Work at Rutgers University, and issues a call for universal support for magnifying public and policy attention on improving how public funds and programs are managed and deployed to assist the working poor

Asymptotics of the densities of the first passage time distributions for Bessel diffusions

This paper concerns the first passage times of Bessel processes to a point on the positive real line. We are interested in the case when the process starts at a position on its right and compute the densities of the distributions of the passage time to obtain the asymptotic forms of them as time tends to infinity that are valid uniformly for the starting position.Comment: 25pages, To appear in Trans.

Cooling due to collisions between hydrogen molecules and helium atoms

This study concerns the cooling that occurs in molecular clouds. The contribution to the cooling in these clouds by collisions between hydrogen molecules and helium atoms was investigated. The semi-classical method was used to calculate the rate coefficients for all He-induced H2 ro-vibrational transitions, and these were compared with previous quantum mechanical calculations. The steady state ro-vibrational level populations were found and used to compute the cooling function over a range of temperatures and densities. The time required to reach steady state is discussed, and a comparison is made of the results to corresponding values in thermodynamic equilibrium. The cooling function is compared to a previous quantum mechanical calculation. The suitability of the semi-classical method is discussed

Words That Didn\u27t Make It

The following words are not in the dictionary, at least in the sense expected. The clues are how such words would be defined if they had made it to Webster\u27s

The adaptation continuum: groundwork for the future

The focus of the program was to understand the challenges posed by climate change and climate variability on vulnerable groups and the policies needed to support climate adaptation in developing countries. The aim of the book is to share this experience in the hope that it will be helpful to those involved in shaping and implementing climate change policy
