Hippocrates already noted that geographical factors such as climate, relief, geology but also settlement patterns had influenced the distribution of diseases. The task of medical geography is to investigate the associations between geographical factors and diseases. Thereby, geographic techniques and concepts are applied on health problems. Of particular importance is the mapping of diseases wh...

Proceedings of GeoComputation ‘97 & SIRC ‘97 Effective mineral exploration requires a detailed knowledge of the factors and processes which result in the formation of economic deposits. To apply this knowledge, a sound three-dimensional understanding of the geology and structure of a region is required. In most cases, surface geology can be mapped with a high degree of accuracy, however, the ge...

Image enhancement is an important processing task in image processing field. By applying image enhancement, blur or any type of noise in the image can be removed so that the resultant image quality is better. Image enhancement is used in various fields like medical diagnosis, remote sensing, agriculture, geology, oceanography. There are numbers of techniques for image enhancement. Image interpo...

variety of maps for each country or territory. These will include information about different features, such as geology, climate, population and so on. Integrating information from the different maps allows the reader to appreciate the landscape they are exploring. The same is true for cellular maps that chart genetic, protein or functional interactions within the cell. Now, in Journal of Biolo...

Medical geology is the application of trace element geography to epidemiology. This approach is used to compare the geographic distribution of selenium and other trace elements in soil and food with that of high schizophrenia rates in the United States and other countries. Since the comparison is most statistically significant for low selenium, the selenium theory of schizophrenia is evaluated ...
