Taking Stock of Retirement: How Workers and Employers Assess Pensions, Trust, and the Economy
This survey polls workers and employers regarding their views on corporate scandals and the collapse of Enron, the impact of these events on trust in the workplace, and policy strategies needed to increase pension and retirement security
The Disposable Worker: Living in a Job-Loss Economy
This important survey finds many U.S. workers have experienced job loss and the pinch of economic uncertainty during the 2000-2003 recession. The survey includes a large sample of workers who lost their jobs. The survey shows that many workers were laid off without any advance notice, severance pay, health care coverage, or career counseling. However, large numbers of workers believe these services and benefits are critical to their economic survival. Worker confidence in the U.S. economy and political leadership were at the lowest levels recorded in the history of the then six-year Work Trends series

A Workplace Divided: How Americans View Discrimination and Race on the Job
In this Work Trends survey, American workers express their views on the contentious issue of discrimination in the workplace -- how they perceive and experience discrimination as well as what they expect government and employers to do about it
At a Crossroads: American Workers Assess Jobs and Economic Security Amid the Race for President
New national Work Trends study finds high level of concern about job security, economy, and that citizens are divided on candidates' ability to address their concerns
Structure and correlation effects in semiconducting SrTiO₃
We have investigated the effects of structure change and electron correlation on SrTiO₃ single crystals using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We show that the cubic to tetragonal phase transition at 105 K is manifested by a charge transfer from in-plane (dyz and dzx) bands to out-of-plane (dxy) band, which is opposite to the theoretical predictions. Along this second-order phase transition, we find a smooth evolution of the quasiparticle strength and effective masses. The in-plane band exhibits a peak-dip-hump lineshape, indicating a high degree of correlation on a relatively large (170 meV) energy scale, which is attributed to the polaron formation

Laid Off: American Workers and Employers Assess a Volatile Labor Market
This Work Trends survey shows that despite economic growth, worker concern for the economy, their job security, and the threat of terrorism is increasing; workers and employers express fear about outsourcing jobs abroad
Singular value decomposition and matrix reorderings in quantum information theory
We review Schmidt and Kraus decompositions in the form of singular value
decomposition using operations of reshaping, vectorization and reshuffling. We
use the introduced notation to analyse the correspondence between quantum
states and operations with the help of Jamiolkowski isomorphism. The presented
matrix reorderings allow us to obtain simple formulae for the composition of
quantum channels and partial operations used in quantum information theory. To
provide examples of the discussed operations we utilize a package for the
Mathematica computing system implementing basic functions used in the
calculations related to quantum information theory.Comment: 11 pages, no figures, see
