(1990) examined only a single point source, though it generalizes to multiple sources and to linear hazards as well. | There are numerous hypotheses concerning the aetiology of this disease (from ionizing radiation to viral transmission) and Cross's approach is to collect digital data designed to test some of these hypotheses and to use ARC/INFO to display and analyse results. |
