Working in various areas of Mathematics, Computational Mathematics, and Computer Science, I have introduced a number of new insights and novel methods, revealed unexpected links among some seemingly distant subjects, and proposed new research directions and new areas of study. I have presented my findings in four books, over 20 surveys in journals, magazines, and book chapters, over 80 refereed...

This monograph, based on Sandra Kübler’s Ph.D. thesis, introduces the reader to research at the intersection of data-driven parsing and memory-based learning. Compared to other approaches to parsing, including knowledgebased methods, memory-based parsing takes the provocative standpoint that new structures can be parsed by analogical reasoning over stored structures, rather than by abstracted r...

BACKGROUND Complementary health practices are an important element of health/healthcare seeking behavior among adults in the United States. Reasons for use include medical need, prevention and wellness promotion, and cultural relevance. Survey studies published over the past several decades have provided important information on the use of complementary health practices, such as acupuncture and...

This monograph presents the principles of malariology in an excellent manner written in a few score pages. It begins with an historical introduction including the landmarks during the twentieth century. This is followed by descriptions of malaria parasites, including the recent discoveries of exoerythrocytic stages. The pathology, clinical course and therapy are then described. The morphology, ...

We show how to observe sizable angular correlations between the decay products of the top quark and those of the anti-top quark in top quark pair production and decay at hadron colliders. These correlations result from the large asymmetry in the rate for producing like-spin versus unlike-spin top quark pairs provided the appropriate spin axes are used. The effects of new physics at production o...
