In studies of irrigation and drainage projects for drainage, it is necessary to extend the data from the sampling point to the network. Therefore, based on available data from observational wells, estimating the state of hydraulic conductivity (K) in the surrounding area. The estimation process values for locations where there is no information for them based on viewing areas called wells spati...

In numerical dosimetry, the recent advances in high performance computing led to a strong reduction of the required computational time to assess the specific absorption rate (SAR) characterizing the human exposure to electromagnetic waves. However, this procedure remains time-consuming and a single simulation can request several hours. As a consequence, the influence of uncertain input paramete...

Traditional geostatistical estimation techniques have been used predominantly by the mining industry for ore reserve estimation. Determination of mineral reserve has posed considerable challenge to mining engineers due to the geological complexities of ore body formation. Extensive research over the years has resulted in the development of several state-of-the-art methods for predictive spatial...

the uniaxial compressive strength (ucs) of intact rocks is an important geotechnical parameter required for designing geotechnical and mining engineering projects. obtaining accurate estimates of the rock mass ucs parameter throughout a 3d geological model of the deposit is vital for determining optimum rock slope stability, designing new exploratory and blast boreholes, mine planning, optimizi...

In spatial data modelling and analysis there are a variety of techniques to perform prediction. The goal of these techniques is to take spatially located data and to establish estimates of data values at unknown locations. Of these techniques, the attractive aspects of kriging are often overshadowed by the slow speed of the calculation. Unfortunately the calculations necessary to perform krigin...

This paper deals with a theoretical approach to assessing the effects of parameter estimation uncertainty both on Kriging estimates and on their estimated error variance. Although a comprehensive treatment of parameter estimation uncertainty is covered by full Bayesian Kriging at the cost of extensive numerical integration, the proposed approach has a wide field of application, given its relati...

In this paper, a new approach based on ordinary kriging is proposed to predict network coverage in wireless local area networks. The proposed approach aims to reduce the cost of active site surveys by estimating path loss at points where no measurement data is available using samples taken at other points. To include the effect of obstacles on the covariance among points, a distance measure is ...

Coalbed methane (CBM) plays an important role in coal mining safety and natural gas production. In this work, The CBM potential of B2 seam in Parvadeh IV coal deposit, in central Iran, was evaluated using a combination of local regression and geostatistical methods. As there were 30 sparse methane sampling points in the Parvadeh IV coal deposit, no valid variogram was achieved for the methane c...

Sublevel caving mining causes surface deformation in three distinct zones parallel to the extracted deposit. Most of published research is focused on extent caved and fracture zones. The largest, continuous zone and, thus, influence mine its surroundings not yet fully documented. This study aimed at assessing caused by a steep iron ore deposit Norway. For this purpose, an innovative combination...

the main objective in the present study was to assess the spatial variation of chemical and physical soil properties and then use this information to select an appropriate area to install a pasture rehabilitation experiment in the zereshkin region, iran. a regular 250 m grid was used for collecting a total of 150 soil samples (from 985 georeferenced soil pits) at 0 to 30, and 30 to 60 cm layers...
