This study compares three interpolation methods to create continuous surfaces that describe temperature trends in Bangladesh between years 1948 and 2007. The reviewed techniques include Spline, Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) and Kriging. A statistical assessment based on univariate statistics of the resulting continuous surfaces indicates that there is little difference in the predictive powe...

mouse embryo. In original 2D ISH sections (a), it is difficult to comprehend the distributions of Lhx8 (blue) and Shh (brown) genes relative to each other and to brain structures. After mapping, coregistered Lhx8 (orange) and Shh (green) expression data are overlaid on the iDW image (b), and inspected in 3D with brain structures e.g. ventricles (blue) to appreciate the spatial expression patter...

Several georeferenced measurements of electric field were done in a pilot area of Caracas, Venezuela, to verify that the magnitude of radio frequency electromagnetic fields is below the human exposure limits, recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection. The collected data were analyzed using geographical information systems, with the objective of using inter...

This study correlated lung cancer (LC) mortality with statistical data obtained from government public databases. In order to asses a relationship between LC deaths and radon accumulation in dwellings, indoor radon concentrations were measured with passive detectors randomly distributed in Chihuahua City. Kriging (K) and Inverse-Distance Weighting (IDW) spatial interpolations were carried out. ...

An important problem between specialists is the interpolation of the surfaces determined by classics or modern techniques. Choosing the proper technique is practically a rigorous study regarding all the interpolation methods and using that method according to the needs of the project. The determination of the Digital terrain model, the digital surface model from GNSS, LiDAR or classic measureme...
