This paper investigates implications of introducing immunosuppressants (or suppressants) in kidney exchange problems. We begin with the standard kidney exchange model without suppressants and define two versions of the top-trading cycles (TTC) solutions satisfying Pareto efficiency. We then extend the model by introducing suppressants that make a patient compatible with any donor by relaxing im...

Disturbed land surfaces are a major source of fine particulate matter in the air. Dust suppressants are applied to these surfaces to minimize the suspension of the particulate matter. The application of dust suppressants affects the runoff characteristics of these lands as well as the water quality of the runoff. A rainfall simulator has been designed to create rainfall, and to study the hydrol...
