Manel Frau-Cortes'
Writings
Some serious, some not so much

I am thinking on uploading some of my articles and writings here. In the meantime, here's some bibliographic references of things I have done. Yes, you are right. My English sucks LOL That's why I rarely publish in English, or at least I have it seriously proofread.
Here I go...
