In 1962, G. Matheron introduced the term geostatistics to describe a scientific approach to evaluate problems in geology and mining, from ore reserve estimation to grade control. Geostatistics provides statistical methods used to describe spatial relationships among sample data and to apply this analysis to the prediction of spatial and temporal phenomena. They are used to explain spatial patte...

Bioremediation has been argued to be one of the most cost-effective remediation technologies available to reduce soil, sediment, or groundwater contamination, particularly because this approach may allow for the implementation of in-place strategies. Recent trends have advocated the application of innovative sediment stabilization strategies through placement of (reactive) capping material to a...

Gaining a better understanding of the spatial population structure of infectious agents is increasingly recognized as being key to their more effective mapping and to improving knowledge of their overall population dynamics and control. Here, we investigate the spatial structure of bancroftian filariasis distribution using geostatistical methods in an endemic region in Southern India. Analysis ...

The present paper proposes a new diagnostic tool for the structural health monitoring that employs a Kriging Interpolation. Structural health monitoring is a noticeable technology for aged civil structures. Most of the structural health monitoring systems adopts parametric method based on modeling or non-parametric method such as artificial neural networks or response surfaces. The conventional...

background and objectives: in sciences like ecology, that measured value of a quantity to be processed within a definite border, the estimation of variable values in a particular time and place, using existing data from the use of information variable or variables another is common. in geoeographic studies, data collection is often the point. usually, it is essential that this data be generaliz...

The paper presents two applications of the JGrass-NewAge model in order to investigate the influence of an explicit channel routing model on the discharge simulation. The semidistributed, component based hydrological model JGrass-NewAge is based on the Object Modeling System version 3.0 (OMS3). OMS3, which facilitates exchange of model components, was used to set up two different model configur...
