Concentration ratios (CR(wo-media)) are used in most radioecological models to predict whole-body radionuclide activity concentrations in wildlife from those in environmental media. This simplistic approach amalgamates the various factors influencing transfer within a single generic value and, as a result, comparisons of model predictions with site-specific measurements can vary by orders of ma...

Two models of binary fragmentation are introduced in which a time dependent transition size produces two regions of fragment sizes above and below the transition size. In the models we consider a fixed rate of fragmentation for the largest fragment and two different rates of fragmentation for the two regions of sizes above and below the transition size. The models are solved exactly in the long...

After collecting data, in researches, the type of data distribution must be determined; since any analysis requires the distribution of its own data. Soil properties, such as salinity, are also the same case. Due to its direct and indirect effects on plant growth, soil salinity is an important feature that has always been investigated in agriculture and natural resources, leading to a lot of re...

Metamodelling offers an efficient way to imitate the behaviour of computationally expensive simulators. Kriging based metamodels are popular in approximating computation-intensive simulations of deterministic nature. Irrespective of the existence of various variants of Kriging in the literature, only a handful of Kriging implementations are publicly available and most, if not all, free librarie...

‎This paper presents two main results that the singular values of the Hadamard product of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the Hadamard product of $|A_{i}|$ and the singular values of the sum of normal matrices $A_i$ are weakly log-majorized by the singular values of the sum of $|A_{i}|$‎. ‎Some applications to these inequalities are also given‎. ‎In addi...

In the practice of interpolating near-surface soil moisture measured by a wireless sensor network (WSN) grid, traditional Kriging methods with auxiliary variables, such as Co-kriging and Kriging with external drift (KED), cannot achieve satisfactory results because of the heterogeneity of soil moisture and its low correlation with the auxiliary variables. This study developed an Extended Krigin...

Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are two major nutrients for agricultural productivity sustainability. The spatial variability maps of soil phosphorus content in surfacesoils collected through grid sampling technique were developed using geo-spatial technology Indian Council Agricultural Research-Indian Research Institute (ICAR-IARI) farm, New Delhi, India. Soil available P (NaHCO3-P) P-fractio...
