Keeping up with my publications has become a bit of chore.
However, there are two (2) NET locations that now allow academic
research and publications to be easily accessed as well as provide CLOUD
space to upload PDF copies for people to utilize. For an idea of
my research publications and direction, please go to:

You may have to register an account (but it's free) and you can search
through a slowly evolving database for national and international
researchers. Have fun!
