Methods and Results from Parameter Estimation Exercises Used in 2-Day Group Modeling Session for Ohio Infant Mortality Study
Much of the existing group model-building literature focuses on approaches to defining model boundary and conceptualizing overall model structure including the creation of a backbone stock-and-flow structure as well as ...
Applied Antineutrino Physics 2015 -- Conference Summary
This is a brief summary of the 11th Applied Antineutrino Physics 2015 workshop held at the Virginia Tech Arlington Research Facility from December 7-8, 2015.
A Local Food System Glossary: A Rose by Any Other Name. Selected paper prepared for presentation at the Southern Agricultural Economics Association (SAEA) Annual Meeting, San Antonio, Texas, 6-9 February 2016
(2016-02-08)
This paper attempts to map the various aspects of “local food” and in doing so provide some common ground and a glossary of terminology related to local food systems. It is hoped that this effort will better assist consumers, ...
Use of molecular probes to assess geographic distribution of Pfiesteria species
(US Department of Health and Human Sciences, Public Health Science, 2001-10-01)
We have developed multiple polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based methods for the detection of Pfiesteria sp. in cultures and environmental samples. More than 2,100 water and sediment samples from estuarine sites of the ...
Harnessing Altmetric Data for Translational Research & Community Development: A Case Study
(2018-06-05)
As a land grant university, Virginia Tech has long prioritized cooperative partnerships with regional organizations, delivering translational research to local populations via the work of their Extension Agents and Specialists ...
Using Neutrinos to test the Time-Energy Uncertainty Relation in an Extreme Regime
We discuss a direct test of the relation of time and energy in the very long-lived decay of tritium (H3) (meanlife \tau ~ 18 yrs) with the width \Gamma ~ 10^{-24} eV [set by the time-energy uncertainty (TEU)], using the ...
Precision Tests of Electroweak Physics
We review the current status of precision electroweak measurements and the constraints they impose on new physics. We perform a model independent analysis using the STU-formalism of Ref. 1, and then discuss how the Z-pole ...
