Background and objective: Binary response models are used in many real applications. For these models the Fisher information matrix (FIM) is proportional to the FIM of a ...

The book investigates the misapplication of conventional statistical techniques to fat tailed distributions and looks for remedies, when possible. Switching from thin tailed ...

This introductory text lays the foundation for understanding thin-film morphology and the response characteristics of optical sculptured thin film (STF) devices, enabling ...

"By the year 2000, American colleges and universities will be lean and mean, service oriented and science minded, multicultural and increasingly diverse---if they intend to ...

In Part I of this paper, we started from a dipole array model of elastic light scattering, and found the longwave asymptotic formulas for all 16 elements of the orientation ...

The broad categories of computational physics are Simulation, Visualisation and Modelling. At a finer scale, computational physics embraces a wide range of areas including ...

This two semester Abstract Algebra course is an introduction to abstract mathematical systems, including groups, rings, and fields (and morphisms between these). This is a ...

Composite materials have seen increasing applications in various fields of engineering such as the marine and aerospace industries. This is mainly due to the high strength ...

In the upeer-division theoretical physics courses, the student is taught the formalisms of the theories, the analytical techniques of problem-solving, and the physical ...

Design of composite steel beams is a trial and error process. The procedure recommended by the Manual of Steel Construction, Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) is to ...
