Subjective social status and its associations with social vulnerabilities and health
BACKGROUND: Subjective social status (SSS) is the perception of where one stands in a social hierarchy, distinct from one’s actual, objective position in this hierarchy. SSS may influence health through behavioral and psychosocial mechanisms. METHODS: We conducted three sub-studies to examine …

The Study of the Indian Ocean Response to Climatic Events Using Satellite Observations and Model Simulations
… (SODA) reanalysis of Sea Surface Salinity (SSS) from 1871-2008 is used to study the salinity variations during numerous phases of IOD events. The dynamics associated with each phase are responsible for producing distinct patterns and strengthen the magnitude and extent of the SSS anomalies …

Hypolimnetic Oxygenation Mitigates the Effects of Nutrient Loading on Water Quality in a Eutrophic Reservoir
… hypoxia is to use side stream supersaturation (SSS), a novel form of hypolimnetic oxygenation. First, in Chapter 1, I tested the efficacy of SSS operation to improve water quality in Falling Creek Reservoir (FCR), a shallow, eutrophic, drinking water reservoir. I found that SSS operation …
