Iterative concatenated Zigzag decoding and blind data fusion of correlated sensors
Authors: Javier Del Ser,Javier Garcia-Frias,Pedro M. Crespo
This paper addresses the sensor network scenario where several nodes sense a common information source S. When such sensors forward their correlated observations to a common shared receiver, it is necessary to combine the received information in order to obtain an estimation of S with high…

A novel heuristic algorithm for multiuser detection in synchronous CDMA wireless sensor networks
Authors: Ignacio Olabarrieta,Javier Del Ser,Sergio Gil-Lopez
This paper introduces a novel heuristic algorithm for N-user detection in synchronous CDMA multiple access networks. In such systems, the performance of the conventional single-user detection technique (i.e. a rake receiver compounded by a set of matched filters) is clearly bounded by the well-…

The jovian anticyclone BAIII. Aerosol properties and color change
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,Ricardo Hueso,Santiago Pérez-Hoyos,Enrique Garcia-Melendo,Jon Legarreta
Abstract A study of the vertical cloud structure of oval BA and its red color change is presented in this third part of our complete analysis. A large interest in Jupiter’s anticyclone BA was created by its reddening that occurred between 2005 and 2006. In this work we quantify the color change…

Evolution of the cloud field and wind structure of Jupiter's highest speed jet during a huge disturbance
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,Enrique Garcia-Melendo,N. Barrado-Izagirre,Santiago Pérez-Hoyos
Aims. Despite the banded visual aspect of cloud patterns in Jupiter, high resolution images indicate that these regions are markedly turbulent. One region of particular interest is the north temperate belt (NTB) at 21 ◦ N planetocentric latitude, where the most intense Jovian jet resides with…

Mining probabilistic models learned by EDAs in the optimization of multi-objective problems
Authors: Jose A. Lozano,Pedro Larrañaga,Roberto Santana,Concha Bielza
One of the uses of the probabilistic models learned by estimation of distribution algorithms is to reveal previous unknown information about the problem structure. In this paper we investigate the mapping between the problem structure and the dependencies captured in the probabilistic models…

Gravity waves in Jupiter's equatorial clouds observed by the Galileo orbiter
Authors: Arregi, J.,Rojas, J.F.,Hueso, R.,Sánchez-Lavega, A.
International audience; A reanalysis of Galileo images of Jupiter's Equatorial Zone obtained in 1999 and 2001 reveals the presence of trains of cloud bands, probably generated by gravity waves, similar to those seen in Voyager 1 and 2 (1979) and New Horizons (2007) images. No such waves have been…

Vertical shears in Saturn's eastward jets at cloud level
Authors: García-Melendo, Enrique,Sánchez-Lavega, Agustín,Rojas, J.F.,Pérez-Hoyos, S.,Hueso, R.
International audience; We have measured the vertical shear of the zonal winds in the cloud-haze upper layer of Saturn using Cassini ISS images obtained in the filters MT2 (753 nm methane absorption band, sensitive to the upper haze) and CB2 (adjacent continuum, sensitive to the lower cloud). Our…

Design, simulation and hardware validation of a low-cost CLMS echo canceling system
Authors: Javier Del Ser,Mikel Sanchez,Pablo Prieto,Mikel Mendicute
This paper presents the design, simulation and performance of a low-cost echo canceler for its application to on-channel repeaters in single frequency DVB-T networks. In these devices an echo canceler is required in order to avoid the coupling echoes produced between transmission and reception…

A new preprocessing procedure for the haplotype inference problem
Authors: Jose A. Lozano,Ekhine Irurozki
A haplotype is a DNA sequence that is inherited from one parent. They are especially important in the study of complex diseases since they contain more information than genotype data, so the next high priority phase in human genomics involves the development of a full Haplotype Map of human genome…
