the purpose of this study is to identify the effect of ordinary kriging (ok) and inverse distance weighted (idw) estimation methods for the delineation of mineralized zones based on subsurface data using concentration–volume (c–v) multifractal modeling in the dardevey iron ore deposit, ne iran. variograms and anisotropic ellipsoid were generated for the fe distribution by the above estimation m...

  A theoretical density functional theory (DFT) study was performed on a series of the neutral N-phenylthiourea substituents (p-OC2H5, p-CH3, m-CH3, H, p-Cl, p-Br, m-Cl, and p-NO2) as the sensor of acetate and fluoride anions. The hydrogen bond character was analyzed as a scale ...

A new kriging predictor is proposed. It gives a better performance over the existing predictor when the constant mean assumption in the kriging model is unreasonable. Moreover, the new predictor seems to be robust to the misspecifications in the correlation parameters. The advantages of the new predictor is demonstrated using some examples from the computer experiments literature.

conclusions decreasing trend during recent six years reflects a partial success in leishmaniasis control, but update data regarding geographical cl distribution can guide our intervention effectively. results during our six years study, we observed a significant decreasing incidence trend. totally, 2863 cl cases were registered. risk of disease in men was 1.4 times more than women and in rural ...

Maps are useful scientific tools for presenting environmental information, but the statistical techniques necessary to prepare scientifically rigorous maps have primarily focused on terrestrial habitats. This study compares three popular techniques (triangulation, kriging, and co-kriging) to map sediment grain size in Santa Monica Bay, California. Two grain size data sets, one collected in 1994...
