These links relate to some of my interests. I suppose that's an unspoken premise about links. No need to say that I'm interested in these things. (Although it would be something to provide links to things that don't interest me in the least. That would be challenging. So I will begin this project. At the bottom of this page, see "Links to things that don't interest me in the least.") Most of these interests have to do with research, and much of it is not accessible by clicking on the links provided (unless I'm the one doing the clicking). However, all of the articles referred to below are available in online databases.
