Understanding Occupational and Skill Demand in New Jersey's Finance Industry
The finance industry in New Jersey employs over 200,000 people. Many more workers benefit from the state's proximity to the finance industry in New York City. Jobs in the industry are evolving rapidly in response to national and global trends, such as deregulation, increasingly complex laws, and new technologies. As jobs change, skill requirements for both entry-level and incumbent workers increase. This report summarizes the skill, knowledge, and educational requirements of key finance occupations and identifies strategies for meeting the workforce challenges facing the industry
Ready for Tomorrow: Demand-Side Emerging Skills for the 21st Century
As part of the Ready for the Job demand-side skill assessment, the Heldrich Center explored emerging work skills that will affect New Jersey's workforce in the next three to five years. The Heldrich Center identified five specific areas likely to generate new skill demands: biotechnology, security, e-learning, e-commerce, and food/agribusiness. This report explores the study's findings and offers recommendations for improving education and training in New Jersey
Understanding Occupational and Skill Demand in New Jersey's Utilities Industry
The utilities industry provides essential electricity, gas, water and sewer, and local telephone services to residents and businesses throughout New Jersey. This report summarizes the skill, knowledge, and educational requirements of key occupations in gas, electric, water and sewer, and telephone services. It also identifies strategies for meeting the workforce challenges facing the industry
Building Skills and Alliances to Meet Demand in New Jersey's Labor Market
This summary report examines the Ready for the Job initiatve, which profiled the skill and occupational requirements of 73 occupations in New Jersey. This report highlights four cross-industry demand skills: math and technology skills, problem solving and critical skills, communication and teamwork skills, and entrepreneurship and business skills
The inverted XY universality of the superconductivity phase transition
It has been conjectured that the phase transition in the Ginzburg-Landau
theory is dual to the XY model transition. We study numerically a particular
limit of the GL theory where this duality becomes exact, clarifying some of the
problems encountered in standard GL theory simulations. This may also explain
the failure of the superconductor experiments to observe the XY model scaling.Comment: Lattice2002(higgssusy), 3 page

Spin-dependent electron dynamics and recombination in GaAs(1-x)N(x) alloys at room temperature
We report on both experimental and theoretical study of conduction-electron
spin polarization dynamics achieved by pulsed optical pumping at room
temperature in GaAs(1-x)N(x) alloys with a small nitrogen content (x = 2.1,
2.7, 3.4%). It is found that the photoluminescence circular polarization
determined by the mean spin of free electrons reaches 40-45% and this giant
value persists within 2 ns. Simultaneously, the total free-electron spin decays
rapidly with the characteristic time ~150 ps. The results are explained by
spin-dependent capture of free conduction electrons on deep paramagnetic
centers resulting in dynamical polarization of bound electrons. We have
developed a nonlinear theory of spin dynamics in the coupled system of
spin-polarized free and localized carriers which describes the experimental
dependencies, in particular, electron spin quantum beats observed in a
transverse magnetic field.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, Submitted to JETP Letter
