Publications

 

"Copy Editing Marketing Materials", Medium.com · Sep 14, 2022

  • In this article I describe my experience volunteering through the Catchafire organization for a charitable company as a Copy Editor for their marketing materials, including tri-fold brochures, monthly newsletter and annual report.

  • Documenting my experience of developing a Remote Work Strategy to assist an organization to transition to working remotely.

"Domination Parameters and Gallai-type Theorems for Directed Trees", Ars Combinatoria, Volume 81, 2006, pp. 201-208 · Oct 1, 2006

  • "Abstract: The lower domination number of a digraph D, denoted by γ(D), is the least number of vertices in a set S, such that O[S]=V(D). A set S is irredundant if for all x∈S, |O[x]-O[S-x]|≥1. The lower irredundance number of a digraph, denoted ir(D), is the least number of vertices in a maximal irredundant set. A Gallai-type theorem has the form x(G)+y(G)=n, where x and y are parameters defined on G, and n is the number of vertices in the graph. We characterize directed trees satisfying γ(D)+Δ + (D)=n and directed trees satisfying ir(D)+Δ + (D)=n."

"Stephen Kaplan. Different Paths, Different Summits: A Model for Religious Pluralism.", Philosophy East & West, Volume 55, Number 3, July 2005, pg. 503 · Jul 1, 2005

  • "Conclusion: Therefore, Kaplan's ontological and soteriological pluralism can be better understood in terms of each religion's soteriological solution to the human condition as being simultaneously existing with, equally ontologically valid as, and (perhaps) mutually exclusive of, but not contradicting the soteriological solution of, other religions. Put another way, each may be viewed as ultimately real, but not penultimately real.
    Kaplan has provided a basis for reconsidering the notion of religious pluralism in terms of both soteriology and ontology. This work, therefore, deserves the attention of philosophers and theologians currently interested in the concept of religious pluralism, as he enlists one of the great scientific minds of our time to provide a foundation for his novel ideas."
