Magnetoelectric (ME) effect has been studied in semicircular composites with a negative magnetostrictive/piezoelectric/positive magnetostrictive Ni/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/FeCo trilayered structure. The ME behavior of the Ni/Pb(Zr,Ti)O3/FeCo is different from those in previous studies and zero-bias ME...

The Ni layers with good soft magnetic properties have been successfully electroless deposited on PZT layers. To study the thermodynamics and kinetics of electroless Ni-deposition, the effect of bath parameters such as pH and temperature has been discussed. The structural, magnetic and...

Snow depth records from daily measurements at climatological stations were obtained from Environment Canada and were processed and analyzed. It was identified that there are 549 stations, each with at least 20 years of useable annual maximum snow depth data. Both the Gumbel distribution and...

We Highlight a fast subsampling method that can be used to provide valid inference in nonlinear dynamic econometric models.

We highlight a fast subsampling method that can be used to provide valid inference in nonlinear dynamic econometric models. This method is based on the subsampling theory proposed by Politis and Romano (1992, 1994) which computes an estimator on subsamples of the data and uses these estimates to...

We provide new methods for inference in econometric models where the parameter of interest is a set. These models arise in many situations where point identification requires strong (and sometimes untestable) assumptions. Every parameter vector in the set of interest represents a feasible...
