Independentemente da área de estudo, qualquer variável pode conter outlier. Conforme sugerido por alguns pesquisadores, no intuito de eliminar tais dados discrepantes, metodologias vêm sendo criadas para atender às demandas das diversas áreas do conhecimento científico. O objetivo deste trabalho é utilizar o teorema da taxa de Nyquist para determinar um tamanho ideal para amostras georreferenciadas contendo outliers, oriundas de uma grade quadrática regular, no qual o modelo de dependência espacial é o Gaussiano. O que se pretende atingir é uma densidade de amostragem necessária para a reconstrução de mapas populacionais de variáveis nas quais as condições de regularidade necessárias em geoestatística foram verificadas. Como resultado pode-se concluir que o tamanho ideal de amostragem obtido na ausência de outliers, 115 pontos, foi bem inferior aos 228 pontos obtidos na presença dos outliers.   Palavras-chave: geoestatística, amostragem, taxa Nyquist, outliers.   ESTIMATION OF THE SAMPLING SIZE OF GEOSTATISTICS CONSIDERING GAUSSIAN VARIOGRAM MODEL IN THE PRESENCE OF OUTLIERS   ABSTRACT: The determination of suitable sample size for population reconstruction in the analysis of spatial data is something that has been studied in several scientific papers. Regardless study area, any variable may contain outlier. As suggested by some researchers, in order to eliminate such discrepant data, methodologies have been created to meet the demands of various scientific areas knowledge. The purpose of this work is use the Nyquist Rate Theorem to determine an ideal size for georeferenced samples containing outliers from a regular quadratic grid in which the spatial dependence model is Gaussian. What we intend to achieve is a sampling density necessary for the population maps reconstruction of variables in which the necessary regularity conditions in Geostatistics were verified. As a result, it can be concluded that, the ideal sampling size obtained in the outliers absence, 115 points, was well below the 228 points obtained in the outliers presence.   Keywords: geostatistics, sampling, Nyquist rate, outliers.

The development of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) suitable for instructional purposes has created a large number of outreach opportunities for the Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Department at Iowa State University. Several collaborative efforts are presently underway with local schools and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) at ISU to bring SEM technology into the classroom in a near live-time, interactive manner. The SEM laboratory is shown in Figure 1.Interactions between the laboratory and the classroom use inexpensive digital cameras and shareware called CU-SeeMe, Figure 2. Developed by Cornell University and available over the internet, CUSeeMe provides inexpensive video conferencing capabilities. The software allows video and audio signals from Quikcam™ cameras to be sent and received between computers. A reflector site has been established in the MSE department that allows eight different computers to be interconnected simultaneously. This arrangement allows us to demonstrate SEM principles in the classroom. An Apple Macintosh has been configured to allow the SEM image to be seen using CU-SeeMe.

The Materials Science Department at Iowa State University has developed a laboratory designed to improve instruction in the use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The laboratory makes use of a computer network and a series of remote workstations in a classroom setting to provide students with increased hands-on access to the SEM. The laboratory has also been equipped such that distance learning via the internet can be achieved.A view of the laboratory is shown in Figure 1. The laboratory consists of a JEOL 6100 SEM, a Macintosh Quadra computer that acts as a server for the network and controls the energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), four Macintosh computers that act as remote workstations, and a fifth Macintosh that acts as an internet server. A schematic layout of the classroom is shown in Figure 2. The workstations are connected directly to the SEM to allow joystick and computer control of the microscope. An ethernet connection between the Quadra and the workstations allows students seated there to operate the EDS. Control of the microscope and joystick is passed between the workstations by a switch-box assembly that resides at the microscope console. When the switch-box assembly is activated a direct serial line is established between the specified workstation and the microscope via the SEM’s RS-232.

The Global Health Disparities CD-ROM Project reaffirmed the value of professional associations partnering with academic institutions to build capacity of the USA public health education workforce to meet the challenges of primary prevention services. The Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE) partnered with the California State University, Chico to produce a CD-ROM that would advocate for global populations that are affected by health disparities while providing primary resources for public health educators to use in programming and professional development. The CD-ROM development process is discussed
