The purpose of this paper is to extend to a ne in the control stochastic di erential systems the well{known result of Jurdjevic{Quinn [2]. This result incorporates a previous result in the stochastic context proved in [1].

A frequency can be estimated by few Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) coefficients, see Rife and Vincent (1970), Quinn (1994, 1997). This approach is computationally efficient. However, the statistical efficiency of the estimator depends on the location of the frequency. In this paper, we explain this approach from a point of view of an Approximate Maximum Likelihood (AML) method. Then we enhanc...

One of the problems with traditional computational models of reality is that information, I, is assumed to be mostly accessible for the asking, but theory and traditional models of organizations work very poorly and are ineffective (Werck & Quinn, 1999). In contrast, we offer a physics model of uncertainty for oganizations which assumes that I is mostly inaccessible, and that organizations must...

We investigate two cosmological axion problems (isocurvature fluctuations and domain-wall formation) in chaotic inflationary universe. It is believed that these problems are solved if potential for the Peccei-Quinn scalar field is very flat. However , we find that too many domain walls are produced through parametric resonance decay of the Peccei-Quinn scalar field. Only the axion model with N ...

The axion [1{4] is the Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking which was invented as the most natural solution to the strong CP problem [5] of QCD. The Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking scale Fa is stringently constrained by the consideration of accelerator experiments, stellar cooling and cosmology. The allowed range of Fa=N ( axion window ) is between 10GeV and 1...

Court scholars have a voracious appetite for Supreme Court preference measures. Several papers question whether widely-used Martin and Quinn scores provide valid intertemporal measures, calling into question virtually an entire generation of quantitative research on the Court. This paper discusses the challenges of inter-temporal preference estimation and revises, updates and extends Bailey and...

The nature of axion cosmology is usually said to depend on whether the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaks before or after inflation. The PQ symmetry itself is believed to be an accident, so there is not necessarily a symmetry during inflation at all. We explore these issues in some simple models, which provide examples of symmetry breaking before and after inflation, or in which there is no symm...

High stakes are involved in believing or disbelieving children’s assertions that they have been abused by adults. Consequently, children’s statements about possible maltreatment have become an immensely contested issue (e.g., Ceci & Bruck, 1995; Mansell, 1990; Mildred, 2003; Ney, 1995; Oates et al., 2000; Olafson, 2002; Rabinowitz, 1990). Although other types of cases are contested, sexual abus...
