ABSTRACT
The article discusses different common applications in exploiting coherent light beam propagation. It explores the complexity of mathematical theories for partially spatially coherent beams, however, Gaussian beams can be constructed and propagated through analytic tools. It also provides an equation that predicts the coherence function of light beam propagation using optical software.

In this paper we demonstrate a recursive method for obtaining the moments of the generalized hyperbolic distribution. The method is readily programmable for numerical evaluation of moments. For low order moments we also give an alternative derivation of the moments of the generalized hyperbolic...

Detection thresholds were obtained for Gaussian-shaped tone-pips of 1, 2, 3, or 4 periods duration for 20 frequencies spanning 50-3,000 Hz, in quiet, and in high-pass noise, for a single exceptionally patient and experienced listener. Thresholds were fitted by straight lines in decibels SPL...

In this paper we investigate Gaussian queues in the light-traffic and in the heavy-traffic regime. Let $Q^{(c)}_{X}\equiv\{Q^{(c)}_{X}(t):t\ge0\}$ denote a stationary buffer content process for a fluid queue fed by the centered Gaussian process Xâ‰¡{ X( t): tâˆˆâ„} with stationary...

In this paper, a Bernoulli - Euler beam fixed on a moving cart and carrying a lumped tip mass is considered. The equations of motion which describe the global motion as well as the vibrational motion were derived using the extended Hamilton's principle. The obtained equations of motion are...

An explicit theoretical model based on three-dimensional thermal conduction, thermoelasticity, and Fresnel diffraction integral is developed to describe the surface thermal lens (STL) with a continuous-wave (cw) modulated excitation. The surface displacements and STL amplitudes obtained with...

In this article, we consider the Lotka-Volterra ordinary differential equations system (ODEs) where the actual population sizes are viewed as random perturbations of the solutions to the ODEs. Further, we assume that the perturbations follow correlated Ornstein-Uhlenbeck processes. For this...

Many models for the study of point-referenced data explicitly introduce spatial random effects to capture residual spatial association. These spatial effects are customarily modelled as a zero-mean stationary Gaussian process. The spatial Dirichlet process introduced by Gelfand et al. (2005)...
