Comparison of the new vapor sorption analyzer to the traditional saturated salt slurry method and the dynamic vapor sorption instrument
… to the SSS method. The Vapor Sorption Analyzer (VSA) is a new type of isotherm generating instrument. The VSA collects aw and weight change data similar to the DVS, but has the added benefit of being able to generate non-equilibrium isotherms as well. Currently, there are a few methods able to …

Improved Understanding Of Subsurface Hydrology In Variable Source Areas And Its Implications For Water Quality
Variable source areas (VSAs) are hot spots of hydrological (saturation-excess runoff) and biogeochemical processes (e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, organic carbon cycling) in the landscapes of the northeastern U.S. Despite the substantial research conducted in the past 50 years, there is still process …

Virtual stationary timed automata for mobile networks
… I/O automata called virtual stationary automata (VSAs), and a communication service connecting VSAs and client nodes. The VSAs are located at prespecified regions that tile the plane, defining a static virtual infrastructure. We present a theory of self-stabilizing emulation and use this theory to …

Enhanced Soil Moisture and Streamflow Estimation in Ungauged or Data-Scarce Watersheds
… Chapter 3 develops a variable source area (VSA) SWAT (SWAT-VSA) model for a 14 km² watershed, incorporating the three-class TIC to improve hydrologic response unit (HRU) definition. Downscaled and bias-corrected satellite soil moisture data, along with streamflow data, were used for single …

Essays on Water Quality Management for the Chesapeake Bay Watershed
… Water Assessment Tool-Variable Source Area (SWAT-VSA) model to predict crop yields and N export. Costs of targeting and uniform placement of BMPs across the entire study area (4.23 km2) are compared under historical and future climate scenarios. We find that with a goal of reducing N loadings by …

Role of Staphylococcus aureus GapC and GapB in immunity and pathogenesis of bovine mastitis
… with adjuvants such as PCPP, CpG, PCPP + CpG and VSA-3. We found that the VSA-3 formulation induced the best immune responses in cows. In this objective we also monitored immune responses longitudinally over one lactation cycle to determine the duration of immune responses by measuring IgG, IgG1, …
