Andrew -
I'll send you the info you need - well, probably more than you need, 
because there have been quite a few sets of empirical results on this 
over the years.  In a non-standardised material like straw there's bound 
to be some variation, but I came to what I think is a reasonable 
"average" sorption isotherm + gave what I hope are reasonable reasons 
for doing so.  (Well, the external examiner thought they were reasonable...)
