magnetotelluric (mt) method is an important passive surface geophysical method which uses the earth’s natural electromagnetic fields to investigate the electrical resistivity structure of the subsurface. the depth of investigation of mt is much higher than that of other electromagnetic (em) methods (vozoff, 1991). for a general conductivity distribution in the earth, the horizontal electric fie...

generally, the presence of noise in geophysical measurements is inevitable and depending on the type and the level it affects the results of geophysical studies. so, denoising is an important part of the processing of geophysical data. on the other hand, geophysicists make inferences about the physical properties of the earth interior based on the indirect measurements (data) collected at or ne...

This paper introduces a perturbative inversion algorithm for determining sea floor acoustic properties, which uses modal amplitudes as input data. Perturbative inverse methods have been used in the past to estimate bottom acoustic properties in sediments, but up to this point these methods have used only the modal eigenvalues as input data. As with previous perturbative inversion methods, the o...

shear-wave velocity ( ) is an important parameter used for site characterization in geotechnical engineering. however, dispersion curve inversion is challenging for most inversion methods due to its high non-linearity and mix-determined trait. in order to overcome these problems, in this study, a joint inversion strategy is proposed based on the particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm. the ...

This paper presents a method to determine the shape of a space object while simultaneously recovering the observed space object’s inertial orientation. This paper employs an Adaptive Hamiltonian Markov Chain Monte Carlo estimation approach, which uses light curve data to infer the space object’s orientation, shape, and surface parameters. This method is shown to work well for relatively high di...

Inversion heterozygosity has long been noted for its ability to suppress the transmission of recombinant chromosomes, as well as for altering the frequency and location of recombination events. In our search for meiotic situations with enrichment for nonexchange and/or single distal-exchange chromosome pairs, exchange configurations that are at higher risk for nondisjunction in humans and other...

Abstract Identifying sound-scattering organisms is a perennial challenge in fisheries acoustics. Most practitioners classify backscatter based on direct sampling, frequency-difference thresholds, and expert judgement, then echo-integrate at single frequency. However, this approach struggles with species mixtures, discards multi-frequency information when integrating. Inversion methods do not ha...

1. Abstract In order to predict strong earthquake ground motion, it is inevitable to construct a relevant subsurface structure model, especially S-wave velocity structure of the site of consideration. Inversion analysis with micro-tremor observation is frequently used to acquire S-wave velocity structure due to its convenience and inexpensiveness. Usually inversion analysis is carried out for e...

This paper presents a comparative study between different scalar linear and nonlinear inversion algorithms applied to electromagnetic and elastodynamic (ultrasonic) data sets. The inversion schemes are considered as follows: Synthetic Aperture Radar/Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique, Diffraction Tomography, MUSIC Algorithm, Linear Sampling Method, Modified Gradient in Field Method, Contrast...
