(Received 00 Month 200x; In final form 00 Month 200x) We study experimentally parametric amplification in the continuous regime using a transverse-degenerate type-II Optical Parametric Oscillator operated below threshold. We demonstrate that this device is able to amplify either in the phase insensitive or phase sensitive way first a single mode beam, then a multimode image. Furthermore the tot...

The paper explains the growth –inequality nexus for China’s provinces. The theoretical model of provincial development consists of two regions and studies the interactions of a mutual depending development process. Due to positive externalities, incoming trade and FDI induce imitation and hence productivity growth. The regional government can in‡uence the economy by changing international trans...

Lin, Qun Ph.D., Purdue University, December 2013. A Jackknife Empirical Likelihood Approach To Goodness of Fit U-Statistic Testing With Side Information. Major Professor: Hanxiang Peng. Motivated by applications to goodness of fit U-statistic testing, the jackknife empirical likelihood (JEL) of Jing, et al. (2009) is justified with an alternative approach, and the Wilks theorem for vector U-sta...

Abstract The emission, transport, and deposition of desert dust are influenced by environmental factors evaluated mainly as a function precipitation, air temperature, wind. present study estimates the balance its relationship with for period 1981–2020 in Baja California Sur region, Mexico. Monthly data on wind, emission from situ measurements, reanalysis, satellite numerical parameterization sc...
