"Trends in Policing and Trends in Homicide: A City Level Analysis of the Relationship between the Number of Police and Key Parameters of the Homicide Epidemic" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CRIMINOLOGY, Atlanta Marriott Marquis, Atlanta, Georgia, Nov 13, 2007 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-29 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p202229_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Homicide rates in the United States rose significantly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. City level analysis reveals that there was substantial variation in homicide trends during this period. This project examines the relationship between the number of police in 68 major US cities and the presence, magnitude, and duration of the homicide epidemic. Preliminary findings indicate that that the number of police in a city had no significant effect on the parameters of the homicide epidemic, despite claims to the contrary. |

"Use of natural gamma-ray geophysical logs for SWAT water table parameter estimation" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION SOCIETY, Saddlebrook Resort, Tampa, Florida, Jul 21, 2007 <Not Available>. 2009-11-29 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p174109_index.html>Publication Type: Poster Presentation
Abstract: Preliminary soil and sub-soil hydraulic parameter estimates needed for SWAT simulations to determine sub-surface water movement were collected using downhole geophysical measurements. Gamma-ray logs are useful for distingishing sandstone from shales by measuring natural-gamma radiation emitted from rocks penetrated by a borehole. Downhole gamma-ray measurements can be related to a watershed soil and rock formation by analyzing corresponding drill-core and cuttings collected at the drill site. Correlation of gamma-ray measurements of sub-soil texture and density can be used to provide an estimate of textural data for different layers within the soil and sub-soil profile needed by two FORTRAN programs (WTCHARTETA and WTDRAINVR). These programs are used to determine parameters needed for new water table routine that recently has been incorporated in SWAT. Use of gamma-ray downhole logging methods can be in cased or uncased drill holes and can provide useful and reasonably inexpensive methods to obtain parameters needed to calculate the water table. |

"Identifying Parameters of Foreign Policy Change: A Synthetic Approach" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the ISA's 50th ANNUAL CONVENTION "EXPLORING THE PAST, ANTICIPATING THE FUTURE", New York Marriott Marquis, NEW YORK CITY, NY, USA, Feb 15, 2009 Online <PDF>. 2009-11-29 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p313315_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Review Method: Peer Reviewed
Abstract: The paper examines parameters of foreign policy change, clustering them according to their nature (structural or conjunctural) and origin (domestic or international). Domestic structural parameters comprise the politico-institutional setting and advocacy |
