Other Research
The following papers (PDF format) and powerpoints (MS format) are a selection of the works that, over the years, I have written or compiled. These are basically manuscripts, some, in part or in whole, are now published. I have presented all of the powerpoints in one form or another and most of the papers.

Too frequently works that may be of use to other researchers never see the light of day; be it fear of embarrassment from errors included or the lack of a "scholarly attitude" or standard in the works. By posting these works I intend to give access to material that may otherwise have stayed locked on my computer or in a filing cabinet. I hope that these can be useful. Specific works may temporarily not be available online, for various reasons. Also, I am always open to suggestions- please do not be shy.

It is important to keep in mind that research is a process. Most of the material below has been dated and these dates should be kept in mind when reading or applying the work. Hopefully, all of these topics (and my own style and research abilities) have seen advancements or adaptations over time.

If you use these works, cite them. If these do you any good, drop me an email and let me know, it is nice to know the time it took to post these was not wasted. If no one is using them I will probably discontinue making updates.
