Inaccuracies associated with estimating random measurement errors
Article Abstract:
A study on the use of statistical sampling for site characterization is evaluated. It is argued statistical procedures are far superior than curve fitting since the latter is affected by changes in factors such as trend removal, observation clustering and observation spacing. The nature of measurement errors compared to small-scale variations and the meaning of uncertainty in spatial data interpolation are also discussed.

Solitons made simple
Article Abstract:
Researchers have developed a model of solitons that simplifies the mathematical complexities of their behavior. The model is a linear equation that is readily solvable while retaining essential characteristics.
