A novel statistical technique which allows the asymptotic evaluation of second_ and higher_order averaged observables related to the stochastic complex parabolic equation is applied to the problem of beam propagation in a ...

Working along the lines of a procedure outlined by Keller, a technique is developed for deriving closed first_ and second_order moment equations for a general class of stochastic nonlinear equations by performing a ...

The behavior of a three_dimensional, nonrelativistic, quantum mechanical harmonic oscillator is investigated under the influence of three distinct types of randomly fluctuating potential fields. Specifically, kinetic (or ...

The behavior of scalar wave propagation in a wide class of asymptotically conservative, dispersive, weakly inhomogeneous and weakly nonstationary, anisotropic,random media is investigated on the basis of a stochastic, ...

Within the framework of the quasioptical description and the pure Markovianrandom process approximation, an exact kinetic equation is derived for the spectral density function in the case of wave propagation in a nondispersive ...

In this work, a new technique for analyzing interfacial conditions in completed adhesive bonds is discussed. This method is based on the sensitivity of Stoneley waves, which propagate along the boundary between dissimilar ...

Thermal sublimation of atomically homogeneous Zn x Cd1_x S powders from a single source results in films that are nonuniform in a direction normal to the substrate. This is attributed to initial preferential sublimation ...

A functional (or path) integral applicable to a broad class of randomly perturbed media is constructed for the nth_order multifrequency coherence function (a quantity intimately linked to nth_order pulse statistics). This ...

Composition of zinc and cadmium have been measured for three key regions related to the formation of Cu2S on Zn x Cd1_x X by aqueous ion exchange. These are the ion_exchange solution, the resulting Cu2S, and the Zn x Cd1_x ...
