A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing
No full textIn this latest Advance & Rutgers Report, entitled “A Tripartite Post-Recession Rebalancing,” Dean James W. Hughes and Professor Joseph J. Seneca deliver an incisive assessment of the current market conditions and obstacles in the path of our economic recovery. They offer a statistical cautionary tale that the private and public sector need to hear and acknowledge in order for the economy to make continued progress.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 7, November 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report

The Receding Metropolitan Perimeter: A New Postsuburban Demographic Normal
No full textThe report traces population changes for two time periods: 1950 to 1980, reflecting the nation’s unprecedented postwar suburbanization, and 2010 to 2013, for the recovery period to date from aftershocks of the Great 2007-2009 Recession. The decades between the two time periods analyzed – the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s – are also examined for the influence of overall regional growth, age-structure variations and immigration levels on population change.
Twenty-seven of the suburban-ring counties in the four states witnessed explosive growth in the 30-year period from 1950 to 1980, gaining more than 5.3 million residents, and nearly doubling their population. By contrast, the regional core of eight urban counties in New York and New Jersey contracted sharply during the same period, losing nearly a million people.
Then, during the 2010–2013 period, the trend reversed: the regional core grew at a rate more than double that of the suburban ring, adding 85,284 persons per year. The regional core accounted for most of the total population growth, a phenomenon unparalleled since World War II. All of the suburban counties with population losses were on the metropolitan outer ring with the exception of Monmouth County, which suffered impacts from Superstorm Sandy.
The authors insistently caution that this shift in population growth is not necessarily a long-term change since the latest time period is so limited. However, the data suggest a change of the crest of the wave nature indicating that the multidecade pattern of further growth on the perimeter of the region out has shifted.
The report also discusses the influence of young adults’ locational preferences for urban lifestyle and workplace choices post-2000 as one contributing factor to these shifting population patterns
Solar Power in the Garden State
No full textThis special issue on energy and solar power in New Jersey was made possible because of the extensive portfolio of research centers and institutes at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Dr. Frank A. Felder, an Associate Research Professor, has been director of the School’s Center for Energy, Economic & Environmental Policy (CEEEP) since 2006. Frank is a nuclear engineer with a PhD degree from MIT, and he, along with his CEEEP colleague, Shankar N. Chandramowli, coauthored the main article in this issue of the Advance & Rutgers Report. CEEEP has worked extensively with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on projects, including New Jersey’s current Energy Master Plan.Shining Brightly: Bloustein's Centers of Excellence / by James W.

El uso del software HistCite para identificar artículos significativos en búsquedas por materias en la Web of Science
No full textHistCiteTM is a large-scale computer tool for mapping science. Its power of visualization combines
the production of historiographs on the basis of the analysis of co-citations of documents, with the
use of bibliometrics specific indicators. The objective of this article is, to present the advantages of
the new bibliometrics configuration of HistCiteTM (2004) when identifying articles to analyze the
histograms that produces HistCiteTM, in terms of cumulative advantage and aging of the citations
to do a comparative study of the results of HistCiteTM, in its indicators of amplitude and recognition.
Also is examined its treatment of the sampling problems, by formalizing the question of

Economic Soft Patch 2: A Second-Half Rebound or Redux?
No full textAs this issue (August 2011) of the Advance & Rutgers Report was on press, the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Department of Commerce released revised Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimates on July 29, 2011 that showed the December 2007– June 2009 recession to be far deeper than originally determined. The 4.1 percent recessionary decline in real GDP was revised to a much larger 5.1 percent decrease; therefore, the analysis of economic output starting on page 8 of this report is slightly altered.
Before the revisions, GDP had fully recovered all of its recessionary losses by the fourth quarter of 2010, 36 months after the recession began. However, the revised estimates show that GDP had not yet fully recovered its recessionary losses by the second quarter of 2011, 42 months after the recession began. This affects figures 3 and 4 on pages 9 and 10 of the report.
But the conclusions in the report remain valid: The U.S. economy today is close (real GDP in the second quarter of 2011 is 0.42 percent below the fourth quarter of 2007) to producing the same pre-recessionary economic output with about 7 million fewer private-sector workers, and the time elapsed for full recovery of economic output (42 months and counting) is far more severe than the recovery time (21 months) from the July 1981-November 1982 recession, the previous post-World War II record holder.This report was published as Issue Paper Number 6, August 2011, in Advance & Rutgers Report
The Effects of a Stably Stratified Region With Radially Varying Electrical Conductivity on the Formation of Zonal Winds on Gas Planets
No full textThe outer areas of Jupiter and Saturn have multiple zonal winds, reaching the high latitudes, that penetrate deep into the planets' interiors, as suggested by gravity measurements. These characteristics are replicable in numerical simulations by including both a shallow stably stratified layer, below a convecting envelope, and increasing electrical conductivity. A dipolar magnetic field, assumed to be generated by a dynamo below our model, is imposed. We find that the winds' depth into the stratified layer depends on the local product of the squared magnetic field strength and electrical conductivity. The key for the drop‐off of the zonal winds is a meridional circulation which perturbs the density structure in the stable layer. In the stable region its dynamics is governed by a balance between Coriolis and electromagnetic forces. Our models suggest that a stable layer extending into weakly conducting regions could account for the observed deep zonal wind structures.Plain Language Summary
Jupiter and Saturn's atmospheres display persistent east‐west zonal jets, similar to Earth. These jets, extending 2,500–3,000 km and 8,000–9,000 km into Jupiter and Saturn's interiors respectively, have been challenging to simulate. Current numerical models struggle to replicate multiple jets, spanning all latitudes and their decay at the depths inferred from gravity measurements. This study explores the hypothesis that a stably stratified layer, located at the transition to a semi‐conducting region, allows the generation of mid‐latitude zonal winds and their damping at depth. Using 3D numerical simulations, we model the outer 30% of the planets where the upper part convects and the lower part is stably stratified. We impose a dipolar magnetic field at the lower boundary and electrical conductivity increases with depth. We observe that the decay in jet amplitude in the stable region depends on the local strength of the magnetic forces. Deep within the stable region, these Lorentz forces are balanced by meridional flow, which leads to temperature perturbations and efficient zonal wind quenching.Key Points
Our numerical models examine the conditions needed to form zonal winds in gas planets, complying with observed gravity and magnetic data
A stable layer and magnetic forces are key for strong surface winds at high latitudes that are damped at the inferred depths
The decay profile of the winds in the stable layer is controlled by the product of conductivity and squared magnetic field strengthDeutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft https://doi.org/10.13039/50110000165
