A bibliographic list of AVI's publications is provided on this page. Much of the work completed at AVI represents real-world application of advanced science from academic studies. After all, it is in application that value derives for people and businesses. 

There is a mouse-over abstract for each article that will appear if the author link is scrolled over.  To avoid these popups, do not place the mouse over the author links.  If any of these articles or presentations are of interest, contact AVI for a copy.
