Refereed research papers for BMJ in 2006 and 2007, the
Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology in 2003 and 2004, BMC Medical Research
Methodology in 2002, the Journal of Andrology, in 1999 and 2000, for the
American Statistician, in 1985 and 1992, and for the International Journal of
Science and Engineering, in 1983.
Served on an advisory committee to develop a Health Outcomes
Research Masters Degree program for the University of Missouri,
Kansas City, October 1999 to February 2000.
Served as a co-instructor for NIOSH Training Course 553,
"Statistical Analysis for Industrial Hygiene Sampling and Decision Making"
which was offered on an annual basis from 1988 through 1993. I delivered
approximately 6 to 8 hours of lectures in a 36 hour class, covering topics
such as Normal and Lognormal Distributions; Distributions of Means and Errors
in Exposure Measurements; Confidence and Tolerance Limits; and Selection of
Workers and Times to be Sampled.
Chaired the planning committee for the April 2004 short course by C
Davis on Statistical Methods for the Analysis of Repeated Measurements.
Served on the planning committees for: the February 1996
short course by R. Helms on Mixed Models, the March 1993 short course by R.
Hogg on Total Quality Management; the April 1992 U.S. Public Health Service
Professional meeting; the March 1992 ENAR Biometrics meeting; and the
November 1990 Ohio Statistics Conference.
Served as discussion leader for a round table discussion "SAS/Graph
on the PC: User Experiences" held at the 15th annual SAS Users Group
International conference, April 1990, in Nashville, TN.
Assisted in the preparation of a poster "Statistics at
NIOSH" which was on display at the Hamilton County Public Library (main
branch) during November 1989 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the
American Statistical Association.
Participant in a workshop: "Methods for semen studies in
humans," held in Washington DC, October 1989. I led discussion in three
areas: "Assessing variability between and within individuals"; "Design
considerations for parameters measured on individual cells"; and "Recoding
continuous semen quality data as a binary response: the application of
tolerance intervals to morphometry data." I also served as rapporteur for the
statistical methods section that included these three discussions.
Programmed and tested in 1987 with LM Quinn a set of Turbo Pascal
programs (SAMPLE, SAMSTAT, CONFINT, CHART, and HISTGRAM) that
illustrate the random sampling process on real world data sets. In my
Business Statistic courses, I have run these programs as part of my lectures
on the Central Limit Theorem, on the effect of sample size on sampling error,
and on the meaning of confidence in a 95% confidence interval. In addition, I
have used these programs in a presentation, "Simulating Random Sampling" (see
above) and in "Using some Turbo Pascal programs to simulate random sampling
in the classroom" (also see above).
Programmed, documented, and tested in 1986 a series of benchmarks
written in BASIC and Pascal (NUMACC.BAS and NUMACC.PAS) to evaluate
numerical accuracy.

Grants
Pediatric Pharmacology Research Unit (HD31313-09. Principal
Investigator: Greg Kearns). Funded by NIH/NICHD from 01/01/1994 through
12/31/2003. Total direct costs of $361,932 in 2002. I am funded at 3% effort
on this grant.
The major goal of this project is to conduct basic and translational
research focusing on regulatory events in pharmacogenetics, the ontogeny of
important drug metabolizing enzymes, and pharmacodynamics that will advance
our understanding of age-related differences in drug disposition and action.
Sex, SLE, and Signal Transduction (AR50878-01. Principal
Investigator: Jill Jacobson). Funded by NIH/NIAID from 12/01/01 through
11/30/06. Total direct costs of $250,000 in 2002. I am funded at 5% effort on
this grant.
The major goal of this project is to demonstrate that the increase in
immune responsiveness to gonadotropin-releasing hormone in female mice plays
a pivotal role in increased incidence of autoimmune disease.
