permeability is a key parameter in reservoir characterization. in fact, without accurate information about reservoir permeability, there is no good solution for reservoir engineering problems. up to now, permeability values of a reservoir have been calculated through laboratory measurements or well testing methods. these methods are useful but they cannot describe a reservoir reliably and preci...

Data from the acoustic surveys of MV SA ‘‘Agulhas’’ and FRV ‘‘Walther Herwig’’, and the 1981 RRS ‘‘John Biscoe’’ South Georgia acoustic survey were analysed by geostatistical methods. Estimates of mean density (g m) of krill and their variances are compared with published results from statistical analyses based on random sampling theory. A further high-resolution geostatistical analysis of the ...

Most spatial analysis computer programs are available on the ‘World Wide Wait’ leading this framework to a new GIS platform. Ultimately, this world expects fast answers because if it works then it is obsolete. To review and to evaluate the present spatial geostatistical analysis software and withdraw major conclusions regarding its implementation status are the major goal of th...

In any geostatistical study, an important consideration is the choice of an appropriate, repeatable, and objective search strategy that controls the nearby samples to be included in the location-specific estimation procedure. Almost all geostatistical software available in the market puts the onus on the user to supply search strategy parameters in a heuristic manner. These parameters are solel...

Spatial characterization of soil physical properties could improve the estimation of surface irrigation performance. The aim of this research was to characterize the spatial and time variability of a set of irrigation related soil properties. The small-scale experimental level-basin (729 m) was located on an alluvial loam soil. A corn crop was established in the basin and irrigated five times d...

Concentrations of four heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Ni, and Zn) were measured at 1,082 sampling sites in Changhua county of central Taiwan. A hazard zone is defined in the study as a place where the content of each heavy metal exceeds the corresponding control standard. This study examines the use of spatial analysis for identifying multiple soil pollution hotspots in the study area. In a preliminary ...

Nome placer offshore gold grade estimation is a challenging problem in light of extreme ore heterogeneity. However, this type of phenomenon is quite common in placer ore grade variation. Further, the characterization of spatial ore grade variability and subsequent ore grade modelling of the deposit becomes problematic due to the unavailability of adequate samples. Being located in the Arctic, t...

estimation of the metal value in the metallic deposits is one of the important factors to evaluate the deposits in exploration studies andmineral processing. therefore, one accurate estimator is essential to obtain a fine insight into the accumulation of the ore body. thereare geostatistical methods for the estimation of the concentration of iron which performance of these models is complexity ...

A variety of methods have been used to make evolutionary inferences based on the spatial distribution of biological data, including reconstructing population history and detection of the geographic pattern of natural selection. This article provides an examination of geostatistical analysis, a method used widely in geology but which has not often been applied in biological anthropology. Geostat...

Spatially distributed estimates of ecological variables are generally required for use in geographic information systems (GIS) and models when dealing with many environmental phenomena [2]. In particular, the quality of GIS products depends often on local properties that vary in space. In this context, increased interest has been demonstrated to geostatistics, or spatial statistics, as an analy...
