A Laguerre tessellation is a generalization of a Voronoi tessellation where the proximity between points is measured via a power distance rather than the Euclidean distance. Laguerre tessellations have found significant applications in materials science, providing improved modeling of (poly)crystalline microstructures and grain growth. There exist efficient algorithms to construct Laguerre tess...

groundwater quality management is one of the most important issues in many arid and semi-arid regions, including iran.nitrate (no3-) is one of the most common anions contaminating groundwater. this study aimed to range nitrateconcentrations in water resources in bahabad plain in yazd province. to evaluate the nitrate data in this descriptive study,260 nitrate samples from 13 wells in bahabad we...

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...

Spatiotemporal data fusion is a cost-effective way to produce remote sensing images with high spatial and temporal resolutions using multisource images. Using spectral unmixing analysis interpolation, the flexible spatiotemporal (FSDAF) algorithm suitable for heterogeneous landscapes capable of capturing abrupt land-cover changes. However, extensive computational complexity FSDAF prevents its u...

Abstract There have been many studies on rainfall erosivity and density (ED). However, it was not widely developed in Indonesia as a tropical country has unique precipitation patterns. They are indicators for assessing the potential risk of soil erosion. The Air Bengkulu Watershed is undergoing severe land degradation due to This study aimed analyze spatial-temporal ED based monthly data (mm). ...

In Pakistan, groundwater resources are depleting at an alarming rate due to intensive pumping, shifting of cropping patterns, and climate change vulnerability. The present study is aimed investigating stress in the command area Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) associated branch canals. Groundwater determined by considering surface water availability, levels, climatic variation, crop requirement (CWR) L...

Abstract Background Understanding the climate variability at local scale could help suggest adaptation responses to manage associated risks. This paper analyzed and trend of in semi-arid Borana zone southern Ethiopia over period 1981–2018 using Mann–Kendall (MK) test, Sen’s Slope Estimator (SEE) inverse distance weighted (IDW) interpolation technique. Gridded (4 km * 4 km) data (daily precipita...

Hybrid data fusion mostly gives a better diagnosis to lithological units compared single-source mapping techniques. Rock unit discrimination depends mainly on variations in the concentrations of chemical elements. Remote sensing datasets reflect these as different spectral reflectances, while gamma-ray spectrometric measurements enable recording varied K, Th, and U rock units. Accordingly, this...

The cumulative displacement-time curve is the most common and direct method used to predict deformation trends of landslides divide stages. A new based on inverse logistic function considering distance weighting (IDW) proposed displacement landslides, quantitative standards dividing stages determining critical sliding time are put forward. applied in some landslide cases according monitoring da...
