Spreadsheets for Geothermal Water and Gas Geochemistry
Two Excel spreadsheets released with this paper support many of the common graphical analyses of water and gas chemistry used to interpret hot spring, fumarole and well samples in geothermal exploration and development. Cross-plots and ternary diagrams are generated from measured concentrations of chemical species using formulas based on equilibrium reactions and empirical relationships. Typica...
متن کاملConstruction of α-cut fuzzy X control charts based on standard deviation and range using fuzzy triangular numbers
Control charts are one of the most important tools in statistical process control that lead to improve quality processes and ensure required quality levels. In traditional control charts, all data should be exactly known, whereas there are many quality characteristics that cannot be expressed in numerical scale, such as characteristics for appearance, softness, and color. Fuzzy sets theory is a...
متن کاملTriangular Models for Studying and Memorising Temporal Knowledge
The study of a lot of disciplines (e.g. history, geology, archaeology and politics) is often connected to temporal information. The nature of temporal information can be very complex. To help students to understand and memorise time-related knowledge, visualisation is a common approach. Currently, time intervals are usually visualised as linear segments. But, if a lot of information with a comp...
متن کاملSinaPlot: an enhanced chart for simple and truthful representation of single observations over multiple classes
Abstract Recent developments in data driven science, in particular computational biology, have led scientists to integrate data from several sources, over diverse experimental procedures, or databases. This alone poses a major challenge in truthfully visualising data, especially when the amount of data points varies between classes. To aid the presentation of datasets with differing sample size...
متن کاملFuzzy rules for fuzzy $overline{X}$ and $R$ control charts
Statistical process control ($SPC$), an internationally recognized technique for improving product quality and productivity, has been widely employed in various industries. $SPC$ relies on the use of control charts to monitor a manufacturing process for identifying causes of process variation and signaling the necessity of corrective action for the process. Fuzzy data exist ubiquitously in the ...
