We consider a class of stochastic models for which the performance measure is deened as a mathematical expectation that depends on a parameter , say (), and we are interested in constructing estimators of in functional form (i.e., entire functions of), which can be computed from a single simulation experiment. We focus on the case where is a continuous parameter, and also consider estimation of...

Emotional states of consciousness, or what are typically called emotional feelings, are traditionally viewed as being innately programmed in subcortical areas of the brain, and are often treated as different from cognitive states of consciousness, such as those related to the perception of external stimuli. We argue that conscious experiences, regardless of their content, arise from one system ...

|For crystal resonators, it is always desirable to calculate the electric properties accurately for application purposes. As an extension of the Mindlin plate theory based nite element analysis of crystal resonators, a new theory for the electroded plates is derived and the piezoelectrically forced vibrations are formulated and implemented in this paper in a manner similar to our previous work....
