Technical Publications

I published 20 scientific papers between 1980 and 1996, the period I was involved in academic and government research. During my international consulting work, I “lost” my professional library along with all of the reprints from my papers and a good deal of personal property to pilferage at the Port of Mombasa.

Most of my formal papers are out of print by now.  Unfortunately, many of them have proven difficult to relocate. Links to the papers I did manage to relocate are presented below.
