The slope stability analysis is usually done using the methods of calculation to rupture. The problem lies in determining the critical failure surface and the corresponding factor of safety (FOS). To evaluate the slope stability by a method of limit equilibrium, there are linear and nonlinear methods. The linear methods are direct methods of calculation of FOS but nonlinear methods require an iterative process. The nonlinear simplified Bishop method's is popular because it can quickly calculate FOS for different slopes. This paper concerns the use of inverse analysis by genetic algorithm (GA) to find out the factor of safety for the slopes using the Bishop simplified method. The analysis is formulated to solve the nonlinear equilibrium equation and find the critical failure surface and the corresponding safety factor. The results obtained by this approach compared with those available in literature illustrate the effectiveness of this inverse method.

In almost all previous hydrological studies, the standard approach adopted for nonlinear time series analysis is to perform system characterization first followed by forecasting. However, a practical inverse approach for forecasting nonlinear hydrological time series was proposed recently To investigate the applicability standard approach method and inverse approach, this study used a theoretical time series (Mackey-Glass time series) and daily streamflows of the Bear River in Idaho. To predict a theoretical time series and daily streamflow, this study used local approximation method. From chaos analysis, chaotic characteristics are found in daily streamflow of the Bear River in Idaho. Resulting from 1, 3 and 5-day prediction, inverse approach method is shown to be better than the standard approach for a theoretical chaotic time series and daily streamflow.

This paper addressed an another scheme of distortion estimation method based on simplified inverse quantization in H.264/AVC. The distortion is calculated by the difference of coefficient between quantized transform coefficients and that of inverse. In general, these process included such transforms as discrete cosine transform(DCT), quantization, inverse quantization(IQ), and Inverse DCT(IDCT). In proposed approach, IQ as well as IDCT process are skipped because of replacing a couple of approximated formulas. Some simulation have been conducted and it showed that the PSNR was almost the same, and reduced the rate-distortion optimization(RDO) mode decision time of 8~15% in comparison with conventional method.

An inverse radiation analysis is presented for the estimation of the boundary emissivities for an absorbing, emitting, and scattering media with diffusely emitting and reflecting opaque boundaries. The finite-volume method is employed to solve the radiative transfer equation for a two-dimensional irregular geometry. A hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed for improving the efficiency of the genetic algorithm and reducing the effects of genetic parameters on the performance of the genetic algorithm. After verifying the performance of the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm, it is applied to inverse radiation analysis in estimating the wall emissivities in a two-dimensional irregular medium when the measured temperatures are given at only four data positions. The effect of measurement errors on the estimation accuracy is examined.

A method for identifying the released region and time of Asian dust using the long-range inverse transport model that traces the wind field in the backward direction from positions where Asian dust was observed is described. Initial conditions for the inverse transport simulation were obtained from the time variation of the density distribution of the suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the air measured at various places in Japan. Based on a concentration of trajectories of the air mass computed by the inverse transport model, the source region of Asian dust clouds observed at meteorological stations in Japan on March 17 to 18, 2002 was estimated. As a result, it was found that dust particles were released at about 6h on March 15 in the neighborhood of Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region.

In this paper, we presented a method of constructing a multiplier and an inverse element generator over finite field GF(3**m). We proposed the multiplication method using a descending order arithmetics of mod F(X) to perform the multiplication and mod F(X) arithmetics at the same time. The proposed multiplier is composed of following parts. 1) multiplication part, 2) data assortment generation part and 5) multiplication processing part. Also the inverse element generator is constructed with following parts. 1) multiplier, 2) group of output registers Rs, 3) multiplication and cube selection gate Gl, 4) Ri term sequential selection part. 5) cube processing part and 6) descending order mod F(X) generation part. Especially, the proposed multiplier and inverse element generator give regularity, expansibility and modularity of circuit design.

A method for solving the inverse kinematic problem of reclaimer is presented in this paper. The reclaimers in the raw yard are being used to dig raws and transfer them to the blast furnaces. The kinematic configuration of the reclaimer is different from that of commercially available robots, because it has a rotating disk with several buckets at the end of the boom to dig raws. The reclaimer has a redundancy due to the rotating disk : the degrees of freedom are greater than the number of forward kinematic equations. A plane equation in the 3-dimensional space is determined by using several points adjacent to the reclaiming point of the raw ores pile. A constraint is obtained from the relation ship of the plane equation and trajectories of the bucket of the reclaimer. Finally, a solution of the inverse kinematics of the reclaimer is determined by a numerical method.

The inverse Kinematics can be used for representing the motion of human body model. In order to find the final figure of the human body model with given target position, we can uwe the formula x=J .THETA. , where J is the Jacobian matrix of x=f( .THETA.), of the Inverse Kinematics. In this formula, f has so complicated form that it is difficult to calcuate the Jacobian matrix J by expanding all formulae exactly. In this paper, a numerical method that calculates the Jacobian matrix is proosed. The simulation results obtained by using the simple human model reprsent that the proposed. The simulation results obtained by using the simple human model represent that the proposed method is useful for generating the final figure of the body model.
