Direct evaluation of the effect of filtering the chest compression artifacts on the uninterrupted cardiopulmonary resuscitation time Authors: Digna M. González-Otero,Elisabete Aramendi,Sofía Ruiz de Gauna,Erik Alonso,Unai Ayala,Unai Irusta,Jesus Ruiz,Trygve Eftestøl Filtering the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) artifact has been a major approach to minimizing interruptions to CPR for rhythm analysis. However, the effects of these filters on interruptions to CPR have not been evaluated. This study presents the first methodology for directly quantifying the… Elsevier BV	2013-06-01
A model of scattered thermal radiation for Venus from 3 to Authors: Ricardo Hueso,A. García Muñoz,A. García Muñoz,P. Wolkenberg,Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,I. Garate-Lopez Thermal radiation becomes a prominent feature in the continuum spectrum of Venus longwards of $\sim$3 $μ$m. The emission is traceable to the upper cloud and haze layers in the planet's mesosphere. Venus' thermal radiation spectrum is punctuated by CO$_2$ bands of various strengths probing into… Elsevier BV	2013-06-01
Symmetry in evolutionary and estimation of distribution algorithms Authors: Robert I. McKay,Jose A. Lozano,Roberto Santana Symmetry has hitherto been studied piecemeal in a variety of evolutionary computation domains, with little consistency between the definitions. Here we provide formal definitions of symmetry that are consistent across the field of evolutionary computation. We propose a number of evolutionary and… IEEE	2013-06-01
The Plackett-Luce ranking model on permutation-based optimization problems Authors: Jose A. Lozano,Alexander Mendiburu,Josu Ceberio Estimation of distribution algorithms are known as powerful evolutionary algorithms that have been widely used for diverse types of problems.

Significance tests or confidence intervals: which are preferable for the comparison of classifiers? Authors: Daniel Berrar,Jose A. Lozano Null hypothesis significance tests and their p-values currently dominate the statistical evaluation of classifiers in machine learning. Here, we discuss fundamental problems of this research practice. We focus on the problem of comparing multiple fully specified classifiers on a small-sample test… Informa UK Limited	2013-06-01
Interference mechanism of seemingly superluminal tunneling Authors: Sokolovski, D.,Akhmatskaya, E. Apparently 'superluminal' transmission, e.g., in quantum tunnelling and its variants, occurs via a subtle interference mechanism which allows reconstruction of the entire spacial shape of a wave packet from its front tail. It is unlikely that the effect could be described adequately in simpler… American Physical Society (APS)	2013-05-08

Self-adjoint extensions of Dirac operators with Coulomb type singularity Authors: Javier Duoandikoetxea,Naiara Arrizabalaga,Luis Vega In this work we construct self-adjoint extensions of the Dirac operator associated to Hermitian matrix potentials with Coulomb decay and prove that the domain is maximal. The result is obtained by means of a Hardy-Dirac type inequality. In particular, we can work with some electromagnetic… AIP Publishing	2013-04-01
