16. Following, e.g., references [6,10,12], and [15], we adopt the Laplace transforms for an analysis of the frequency domain in this paper, instead of the Fourier transforms which have been employed in a series of papers by Ford and O'Connell, e.g., references [9, 11], and [22]. Clearly, both are a priori equally acceptable to give rise to the same desired physical results in the end
