The authors completed a number of projects during this period of time. This resulted in fifty nine publications, which are listed below. The major thrusts of this research are the development and application of quantum methods to the study of fundamental chemical processes of importance in gas-phase combustion. Broadly speaking the work falls into two categories. One is the development and application of reduced dimensionality theories of chemical reactions, and the other into studies of radical-radical reactions that proceed mainly via complex formation. The various projects in these two areas and their intersection are reviewed
