1. Papers to Refereed Journals, to Conference Proceedings, and for Books

(a) “Snapshots of Symmetry in Einstein’s Relativity”; Abstract in Symmetry Festival 2006; program and CD (Budapest, Hungary; 8/13/06).

(b) “Issues in Science and Religion: A Critical Evaluation,” in Science, Religion, and Society: History, Culture, and Controversy, edited by Gary Laderman and Arri Eisen (M.E. Sharpe, NY, 2007) [Forward by the Dalai Lama], pp. 81 - 90 [invited].

(c) “Seeing Science Through Symmetry”, in Symmetries in Science XI, edited by Bruno J. Gruber, Giuseppe Marmo, and Naotaka Yoshinaga (Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston, 2004), pp. 227-238. [invited] ]

(d) “Aspects Of ‘Seeing Through Symmetry’— An Interdisciplinary Multimedia Course”, Symmetry: Culture and Science 14, 99-105 (2003).

(e) “Integrating Science and Math into the Freshman Engineering Design Course” (with D. Pines, M. Nowak, H. Alnajjar, and D. Benardete), Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition (June, 2002).

(f)“Seeing Through Symmetry — As Seen Through Its Labs,” Symmetry: Culture and Science 8, Nos. 3-4, pp. 401 - 408 (2001) [invited]

(g) "What Is Symmetry That Educators and Students Should Be Mindful Of It?" Book chapter for Interdisciplinary General Education: Questioning Outside the Lines, Marcia Bundy Seabury, Editor (College Entrance Examination Board, NY, 1999), pp. 105 - 122 [invited].

(h) "Faraday’s Legacy: The Joys of Scientific Methodology," Guest Editorial for QUANTUM (November/December 1998), pp. 2–3.

(i) "Reflections of the Relevance of Nonlocality to Cognitive Science and the Philosophy of Mind," from New Directions in Cognitive Science, Proceedings of the International Symposium (Saariselka, 4-9 August 1995, Lapland, Finland), edited by Paavo Pylkkänen and Pauli Pylkkö (Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society, Helsinki, 1995), pp. 104 - 114. This article generalizes both the neural dynamical model and the ontological model through the replacement of interaction terms, in the fundamental dynamical equations of those theories, by integrals; thus yielding integro-differential equations as the more natural descriptors for brain processes.

(j) "Quantum Dynamics and Neural Dynamics: Some Analogies between the Formalisms of Bohm and Pribram," an invited paper (Fall 1994) for Scale in Conscious Experience: Is the Brain too Important to be Left to Specialists to Study, 3rd Appalachian Conference Proceedings on Behavioral Neurodynamics (Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, NJ, 1995), pp. 339 - 348. This demonstrates how it is possible to make advances in studying the neural dynamical formalism of Pribram, et al by casting that formalism into the framework of the ontological model of quantum theory as formulated by Bohm.

(k) "Computer Algebra for Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and Autonomous Systems" (to be re-submitted). This describes, in part, how one can obtain symbolic solutions to any set of the fundamental equations of motion, Hamilton's equations, that are used to describe many-particle systems (such as those exhibiting chaos). A user-friendly program written in MACSYMA (and being converted into Maxima 5.12) enables one to obtain such solutions. The program also interrelates the Hamiltonian and Autonomous routines with those for Lagrangians.

(l) "Towards a More Causal Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics: The Ontological Interpretation of David Bohm," Arkhimedes 45, No. 2, 144 - 157 (1993) [an international journal published by the Finnish Physical Societies and the Finnish Mathematical Society; with articles in Finnish, Swedish, and English]. This article brings in the relevant philosophy of science to explicate Bohm's causal interpretation of quantum mechanics.

(m) "Response to Mayants' Note on Bohm's Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics" (with B.J. Hiley, University of London), Physics Essays 6, No. 1, 129 - 132 (March 1993): This paper clarifies David Bohm's "quantum potential" interpretation of Quantum Mechanics and answers one of its critics (L. Mayants).

(n) "Nonlocal Generalized Angular-Momentum Balance Laws and Equations of Motion," International Journal of Engineering Science 30, 1417 - 1432 (1992): This research goes beyond the usual local treatments by showing how one can determine rotational properties associated with a wide variety of nonlocal physical systems; such properties are, along with energy and momentum, very important for understanding physical systems. One of the applications is for multiparticle systems with "spin."

(o) "Balance Laws Associated with Nonlocal Equations of Motion for Theories Containing One Dependent Variable," International Journal of Engineering Science 28, 459 - 468 (1990): This research is on the same topic as the following one but for systems described by equations of motion characterized by a single primary variable. One of the applications determines the energy associated with the membrane-like material covering the wing of an ultralight plane.

(p) "Nonlocal Conserved Quantities, Balance Laws, and Equations of Motion," International Journal of Theoretical Physics 28, 335 - 363 (1989): This paper pertains to my formalism showing how the motion of a system can be used, more easily than current methods, to arrive at properties of the system which remain constant through time. An example given is in Quantum Mechanics where the system's motion, determined by a wave function from Schrödinger's equation, is used to obtain the system's energy. The value of this energy remains constant through time and represents important information for understanding the system. Consequently, some of the systems amenable to this formalism can be found at the atomic scale. Since atoms are constituents of human beings, as well as of galaxies, the research results can therefore lead to a better understanding of the nature of each of those systems.

(q) "Estimating the Speed and Distance of a Plane" (with C. Waiveris), The Physics Teacher 29, 108 - 111 (1991): The article is based on a few years' research that includes determinations of the speed and distance of jet planes through simple measurements carried out by observers on the ground. It is thus an enjoyably instructive activity for both high school and college students.

(r) "Audio-Visual Aids in Materials Science and Engineering: A Current Overview," Journal of Materials Education 11, 169 - 180 (1989)[an international journal whose Editorial Board is comprised of distinguished workers in the field of Materials Science; also published in Japanese]: This paper not only explains the variety of multimedia aids useful in teaching Materials Science but also describes some utilized in my own teaching of the subject.

(s) "The SUNY Potsdam Miracle? Some Lessons for Physics," Journal of College Science Teaching XXI, 348 - 351 (1992): solicited by the Journal’s editorDescribes the interactive methods and philosophy of teaching utilized by the mathematics department of the State University of New York at Potsdam. Describes how such techniques have been applied to my own classroom work for our first two introductory calculus-based physics coursesPHY 112 and PHY 113.

(t) "Air Track with a Distributed Infrared Detector System" (with H. Workman), American Journal of Physics 56, 739 - 744 (1988):[current Editor of Journal mentioned there is a 60% rejection rate] This paper explains details of the novel computer-based infrared-detection air track system utilized in some of our introductory physics laboratories. It also describes and gives data for some of the experiments that have been done using this air track.

B. DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TEACHING/ASSESSMENT MATERIALS

1. "EROs Program": This linear algebra program enables the user to perform elementary row operations (EROs) on a matrix defined outside the program or within the program. It also saves the final matrix, obtained through the EROs, so the user can employ it in further calculations (e.g., the saved matrix can be used as input to a new run of the program).

2. "Seeing Through Symmetry": This course integrates disciplines from across the University in order to introduce students to fascinating ideas from the sciences and math. It has an original Syllabus and Laboratories have begun to acquire both national and international interest. The Symmetry Prod! lecture-note summary of certain physical concepts employed in the course enables students to re-create for themselves where symmetry concepts enter.

3. "Some Guides to using MACSYMA for Linear Algebra": An 8-page set of comments, along with computer-generated examples, so students can apply the symbolic-algebra software package to my Linear Algebra course (summer 1993).
