abstract precipitation as the most important factor plays the main role in many application researches which are based on climatic parameters. many researches in the field of hydrology, hydrometeorology and agriculture employs rain-gauges (such as synoptic and climatologic stations) data. precipitation characteristics, such as rainfall intensity and duration, usually exhibit significant spatial...

This study was conducted to compare the performance of three different spatial analysis models: Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW), Ordinary Kriging,­­ and Regularized Spline interpolation technique determine best fit model representing Peak Ground Acceleration (PGA) in West Java Province, Indonesia. The models are commonly used visualization, but have calculation methods. calculations were perfor...

Accurate rainfall data are essential for environmental applications in the actual assessment of geographical distribution rainfall. Interpolation methods usually applied to monitor spatial data. There many interpolation methods, but none them can achieve all cases best results. In this study, three different were investigated with regard their suitability producing a distribution. Rainfall from...

This article proposes a new approach for determining the optimal parameter (β) in Inverse Distance Weighted Method (IDW) spatial interpolation of hydrological data series. is based on genetic algorithm (GA) and finds unique β entire study region, while classical one determines different βs interpolated The proposed four scenarios crossover/mutation: single-point/uniform, single-point/swap, two-...

In alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), the Z allele is present in 98% of cases with severe disease, and knowledge of the frequency of this allele is essential from a public health perspective. However, there is a remarkable lack of epidemiological data on AATD worldwide, and many of the data currently used are outdated. Therefore, the objective of this study was to update the knowledge of th...

The lower Athabasca River watershed is one of the most important regions for Alberta and elsewhere due to fact that it counts for the third largest oil reserve in the world. In order to support the oil and gas extraction, Athabasca River provides most of the required water supply. Thus, it is critical to understand the characteristics of the river and its watershed in order to develop sustainab...

Repeated use of aqueous firefighting foams at military aircraft training centers has contaminated groundwater with per and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS). To delineate the extent PFAS contamination, numerous site investigations have occurred, which generated large quantities investigation-derived wastes (IDW). The commonly used treatment incinerating PFAS-tainted IDW is costly, was rec...
