Islet cell antibodies can predict eventual insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In the standard method used by the Immunology of Diabetes Workshop (IDW), predictive power depends on antibody titer as determined by testing multiple serum dilutions. Here I report use of a microscope-based photometry system (MPS) to test whether islet fluorescence intensities from undiluted sera can predict IDW re...

for optimum planning, utilization, and management of lands, recognition of spatial variability of soil properties is necessary. this research was conducted to evaluate spatial variability of soil properties in 5000 ha of arsenjan plain in fars province. for this purpose, soil salinity, ph, particle size percentage, sodium, potassium, and organic carbon (oc) were measured on a systematic squared...

Abstract Atmospheric corrosion is ubiquitous in China but varies a lot among different regions covering the cold, temperate, and tropical zones. Categorizing atmospheric corrosivity plotting precise map remain key interest for variety of industries. The present work proposed an hot-dip galvanized steels, which was constructed by inverse distance weighting (IDW) interpolation algorithm based on ...

Inverse Distance Weighted (IDW) based interpolation method is also widely used in earth science studies. In the classical IDW method, directional distribution of reference points around point to be estimated within critical circle and slope differences are not taken into consideration. On other hand, IDW-based developed by Shepard, ratio distances radius (r), anisotropy this study, results Shep...

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However, there is a remarkable lack of epidemiological data on AATD worldwide, and many of the data currently used are outdated.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...

Mapping of geological variables in the Croatian part Pannonian Basin System (CPBS) is mostly based on small input datasets. In case analyzed hydrocarbon field "B", reservoir "K", due to complex structure and pronounced tectonics, interpretations are restricted several blocks, where each has very limited dataset. The porosity (19 data) permeability (18 were analyzed. applied interpolation method...

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...

In this study, the southern expressway, which is first and lengthiest E class highway (126 km) in Sri Lanka, was analysed for roadside accident incidences. The primary objective of paper to identify best-fit interpolation techniques hotspots' most distinctive causes vehicular crashes. details were collected from Police Headquarters consisting 966 accidents that took place during period 2015 201...

Dental and skeletal fluorosis caused by consuming high-fluoride groundwater has been reported over several decades globally. Prediction maps to estimate the fluoride contaminated area rely on interpolation methods. This study presents a comparison of accuracy nine spatial methods in predicting groundwater. Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV), hold-out validation with an independent dataset w...

The alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) haplotype Pi*S, when inherited along with the Pi*Z haplotype to form a Pi*SZ genotype, can be associated with pulmonary emphysema in regular smokers, and less frequently with liver disease, panniculitis, and systemic vasculitis in a small percentage of people, but this connection is less well established. Since the detection of cases can allow the application of pr...
