An epidemiological model of the corn stunt system in Central America
(Elsevier, 1990)

The qualitative behavior of coupled predator-prey oscillations as deduced from simple circle maps
(Elsevier, 1994-05)
Qualitative patterns of the non-equilibrium behavior of coupled consumer/resource systems, formulated as a standard circle map, are explored. Patterns of demographic locking, reflected as a "devil's staircase", are observed ...
The role of nature in the context of the workplace
(Elsevier, 1993-10)
The well-being of the workforce is clearly a matter of concern to the employer. Such concern translates to considerable costs in the form of fringe benefit packages, health promotion programs, ergonomics, and other ways ...
Exurban residential subdivision development: Effects on water quality and public perception
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2004-09)
We investigated how future alternative designs for exurban residential subdivision development in agricultural landscapes might affect aquatic ecosystems and public perceptions, and we asked whether better aquatic ecological ...
