Characteristic of earthquake in a region can be studied through its physical characteristics, such as magnitude and earthquakes energy. Energy which is produced by earthquake can be predicted from magnitude. So far, a lot of research produces different equation to predict of earthquake energy that is depending on zone of earthquake occurred. The purpose of descriptive fundamental research was to find equation for ground acceleration which is presented by local magnitude earthquake for West Sumatra region. Data sounder for research were collected from BMG Padang Panjang which was recorded from 1982 to 2008. Data are analyzed by using least square inversion method. Equation ground acceleration is log αac = 0.451Io +0.146 ML + 0.744 log ∆ - 2.644, which local magnitude is ML = 0.413I0 – 0.785 Log H + 5.334 and intensity of the earthquake in the epicenter is Io = I + 3 log (Δ/H) + 0.01 (ΔH).

Numerous studies have been conducted on an inversion method, focus on constraining factor,singuler value, speed of convergence. However, the result of inversion is not unique and bivalent. In this research, we optimize of Least-Square constrain by using damping factor. Th is method used for interpretation of the volumes and rock structure in Malalak Distric of Agam West Sumatra. This is undertaken because Malalak districts of Agam West Sumatra that passed by highway Padang and Bukittingi is a frequent area of landslide. Furthermore, the frequency of the landslide depends on the type of rock and the angle of the slope . The depth of the slide surface can be predicted by using the least squares inversion constrain method of Geoelectric Resistivity. Landslides resulted in disruption of transportation between the city of Padang and another district in Sumatra. Based on the above, to determine the rock's structure, the depth and tilt angle of the slide surface in Malalak districts Agam West Sumatra has to take place. Data obtained through Geoelectrical exploration using with automatic resistivitymeter equipment. Constrains were obtained using the Marquat inversion method. The result of the research is first, the damping factor for structures which have wide range resistivity is 0.02 and the smallest damping factor is 0.015. Second, the rock structure in Malalak of Agam consists of clay, sandstone, andesite, and limestone and dolomite. Implementation this research can be used to develop mitigation of landslide deserter.

Sumatera Barat memiliki topografi bergelombang dan curam. Sumatera Barat disamping memiliki kemiringan topografi lebih dari 30 derajat, juga memiliki curah hujan yang tinggi. Kondisi tersebut menjadikan kawasan ini memiliki potensi resiko longsor yang cukup tinggi. Masalah ini perlu ditanggulangi dengan melakukan penelitian tentang bagaimana karakteristik permukaan bidang gelincir sebagai studi pendahuluan mitigasi longsor di Sumatera Barat. Informasi tentang karakteristik bidang lincir di daerah rawan longsor di Sumatera Barat belum banyak tersedia. Dengan alasan di atas, dilakukan penelitian yang bertujuan untuk mengetahui kedalaman dan kemiringan bidang gelincir di Kota Padang dan Kabupaten Agam Sumatera Barat. Penelitian eksploratif ini menggunakan metode resistivitas dengan peralatan Ares (produksi Cheko). Data resistivitas semu diinterpretasikan menggunakan metode inversi Least-Square yang telah dioptimalkan untuk mendapatkan penampang 2D resistivitas sesungguhnya. Ketebalan dan kemiringan permukaan bidang gelincir daerah target dihitung berdasarkan penampang 2D resistivitas sesungguhnya dengan bantuan data topografi. Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa rata-rata kedalaman dan sudut permukaan bidang gelincir di Kabupaten Agam Sumatera Barat masing-masing adalah 410 dan 16,5 meter. Rata-rata kedalaman dan sudut kemiringan permukaan bidang lincir di Padang masing-masing 380 dan 12,5 meter. Batuan yang berperan sebagai permukaan bidang gelincir adalah Clay.   West Sumatra has wavy and steep topography. Beside, West Sumatra has topographic slope more than 30, it also has high rainfall. This condition makes this area has a high potential of landslide risk. This problem needs to get a scientific study of how the surface characteristics of the landslide field as a preliminary study of landslide mitigation in West Sumatera. Information on the characteristics of landslide surfaces in landslide prone areas in West Sumatra has not been widely available. Based on the above reason, research has been done to find out the depth and slope of the landslide surface in Padang and Agam Regency of West Sumatra. This explorative research uses resistivity method using Ares equipment set (Cheko production). The apparent resistivity data is interpreted using the optimized optimized least-squares smoothness-constrain inversion method in order to obtain true resistivity 2D cross-section.  The layer thickness and the slope of landslide surface the targeted area was calculated base on true resistivity 2D cross-section that synchronized with topographic data. The results showed that the average both depth and angle of the landslide surfaces in Agam regency of West Sumatra were 41 degree and 16.5 meters respectively. The average both depth and angle of the landslide surfaces in Padang were 38 degree  and 12.5 meters respectively. The rock that acts as a landslide surfaces is Clay.

AbstractIn this study, attenuation relationships are proposed to more accurately predict ground motions in the southernmost part of the Arabian Shield in the Jazan Region of Saudi Arabia. A data set composed of 72 earthquakes, with normal to strike-slip focal mechanisms over a local magnitude range of 2.0–5.1 and a distance range of 5–200 km, was used to investigate the predictive attenuation relationship of the peak ground motion as a function of the hypocentral distance and local magnitude. To obtain the space parameters of the empirical relationships, non-linear regression was performed over a hypocentral distance range of 4–200 km. The means of 638 peak ground acceleration (PGA) and peak ground velocity (PGV) values calculated from the records of the horizontal components were used to derive the predictive relationships of the earthquake ground motions. The relationships accounted for the site-correlation coefficient but not for the earthquake source implications. The derived predictive attenuation relationships for PGV and PGA are$$ {\log}_{10}(PGV)=-1.05+0.65\cdotp {M}_L-0.66\cdotp {\log}_{10}(r)-0.04\cdotp r, $$ log 10 PGV = − 1.05 + 0.65 · M L − 0.66 · log 10 r − 0.04 · r , $$ {\log}_{10}(PGA)=-1.36+0.85\cdotp {M}_L-0.85\cdotp {\log}_{10}(r)-0.005\cdotp r, $$ log 10 PGA = − 1.36 + 0.85 · M L − 0.85 · log 10 r − 0.005 · r , respectively. These new relationships were compared to the grand-motion prediction equation published for western Saudi Arabia and indicate good agreement with the only data set of observed ground motions available for an ML 4.9 earthquake that occurred in 2014 in southwestern Saudi Arabia, implying that the developed relationship can be used to generate earthquake shaking maps within a few minutes of the event based on prior information on magnitudes and hypocentral distances taking into considerations the local site characteristics.

This paper discusses the joint impact of catchment complexity in topography, tectonics, climate, landuse patterns, and lithology on the suspended sediment yield (SSY, t km−2 year−1) in the Caucasus region using measurements from 244 gauging stations (GS). A Partial Least Square Regression (PLSR) was used to reveal the relationships between SSY and explanatory variables. Despite possible significant uncertainties on the SSY values, analysis of this database indicates clear spatial patterns of SSY in the Caucasus. Most catchments in the Lesser Caucasia and Ciscaucasia are characterized by relatively low SSY values (<100–150 t km−2 year−1), the Greater Caucasus region generally have higher SSY values (more than 150–300 t km−2 year−1). Partial correlation analyses demonstrated that such proxies of topography as height above nearest drainage (HAND) and normalized steepness index (Ksn) tend to be among the most important ones. However, a PLSR analysis suggested that these variables’ influence is likely associated with peak ground acceleration (PGA). We also found a strong relationship between land cover types (e.g., barren areas and cropland) and SSY in different elevation zones. Nonetheless, adding more gauging stations into analyses and more refined characterizations of the catchments may reveal additional trends.

There are three types of clause in Minangkabaunese based on the typological analysis, namely: active, passive, and topicalization one. Accordingly, each clause has special information structure which makes they are different in communicating messages. This article tries to describe the types of clauses in Minangkabaunese based on typological analysis and then the discussion is continued in order to know the information structure in each clause. This article is derived and developed based on the result of a fundamental research conducted for the first year (2008) in West-Sumatra.

The determination of liquefaction susceptibility of soil is a paramount project in geotechnical earthquake engineering. This chapter adopts Support Vector Machine (SVM), Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) and Least Square Support Vector Machine (LSSVM) for determination of liquefaction susceptibility based on Cone Penetration Test (CPT) from Chi-Chi earthquake. Input variables of SVM, RVM and LSSVM are Cone Resistance (qc) and Peak Ground Acceleration (amax/g). SVM, RVM and LSSVM have been used as classification tools. The developed SVM, RVM and LSSVM give equations for determination of liquefaction susceptibility of soil. The comparison between the developed models has been carried out. The results show that SVM, RVM and LSSVM are the robust models for determination of liquefaction susceptibility of soil.

AbstractZeeman-Doppler Imaging (ZDI) is a powerful inversion method to reconstruct stellar magnetic surface fields. The reconstruction process is usually solved by translating the inverse problem into a regularized least-square or optimization problem. In this contribution we will emphasize that ZDI is an inherent non-linear problem and the corresponding regularized optimization is, like many non-linear problems, potentially prone to local minima. We show how this problem will be exacerbated by using an inadequate forward model. To facilitate a more consistent full radiative transfer driven approach to ZDI we describe a two-stage strategy that consist of a principal component analysis (PCA) based line profile reconstruction and a fast approximate polarized radiative transfer method to synthesize local Stokes profiles. Moreover, we introduce a novel statistical inversion method based on artificial neural networks (ANN) which provide a fast calculation of a first guess model and allows to incorporate better physical constraints into the inversion process.
