Women in the Workforce: An In-Depth Analysis of Gender Roles and Compensation Inequity in the Modern Workplace

This paper explores the increase in participation and education of American women in the workforce with a special focus on women in business and accounting roles. The paper then goes on to discuss the wage gap between genders, how to remedy inequality in the workplace, and highlights several reasons why pursing a solution to gender inequality is beneficial for both the employee and the company

Trading Platform for the Global Warrant Markets

Global warrant markets are among the most active financial markets in the retail derivatives investment landscape currently. In this context some of the most relevant markets in the last years have been the ones across Asia and in particular Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. This paper introduces the financial instruments used in connection with the warrant markets, pre-sents and offers suggestions for setting up a generic warrant market making system and in-troduces the main concepts and components that need to be taken into account when develop-ing these systems targeting an exchange driven or E-Businesscontext.Trading, E-Business, Warrant, Market Making

RAD Applied in the Context of Investment Banking

RAD as a methodology for implementing information systems has been used in a broad range of domains utilizing technology as an informational backbone but perhaps one of the main areas where this approach has been proven to be a natural fit has been in the investment banking (IB) industry, most notably when applied to trading systems. This paper introduces some of the main tenants of RAD development and focuses on a number of case studies where RAD has proven to be an extremely suitable method for implementing solutions required in the IB industry as well as explaining why RAD may be more successful than other classic de-velopment methods when applied to IB related solutions.RAD, Information Systems, Investment Banking, Trading Systems

Modified Spin-Wave Theory for Nanomagnets : Application to the Keplerate Molecule Mo(72)Fe(30)

We adapt Takahashi's modified spin-wave theory to the context of nano-magnets, and apply it to the molecular compound based on the giant magnetic molecule Mo(72)Fe(30). This involves solving numerically the mean-field equations and then forcing the sublattice magnetizations to zero by means of local chemical potentials for the magnons. We have thus constructed a quantum state with no local magnetization at all temperatures, appropriate to a finite-size system, but with strong correlations. We compare theoretical results to specific heat and ESR measurements.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figure
