Fluoride and nitrate in groundwater: health risks and monitoring in the Vea catchment, Ghana by Musah Saeed Zango, Mahamuda Abu, Rachel Oteng-Mensah, Maxwell Anim-Gyampo, Abass Gibrilla

“…Although high fluoride (F−) levels in groundwater are known to be one of the causes of waterborne diseases and have been studied extensively across the globe, the health risk of the established high levels of F− in the catchment and its spatial distribution is still an enigma. For the above reasons, F− and NO3 − health risks assessment and spatial characterization were conducted in this study using indexical proxies and ArcGIS. …”

Performance analysis of rank reduction estimator in the presence of unexpected modeling errors by WANG Ding, WU Ying

“…A performance analysis of the RARE was presented in presence of unexpected modeling errors.First,the closed-form expression of direction-finding（DF） error was given through the first-order Taylor series expansion of the spatial spectrum function,and then the mean square error（MSE） and DF success probability of the RARE were derived.The numerical experiments,which were associated with the RARE of mutual coupling self-calibration for uniform array,were conducted to validate the theoretical analysis.…”
