A simple effective filtering method for removing CPR caused artefacts from surface ECG signals Authors: Elisabete Aramendi,Unai Irusta,S.R. de Gauna,Jesus Ruiz,A. Lazkano,José Julio Gutiérrez Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) introduces strong interference on the surface ECG, corrupting any diagnosis of the cardiac rhythm. In this work a filtering method is proposed to remove the CPR artefact from Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) signals. It is a notch filter adapted to the fundamental… IEEE	2005-01-01
CPR artefact removal from VF signals by means of an adaptive kalman filter using the chest compression frequency as reference signal Authors: José Julio Gutiérrez,S.R. de Gauna,Elisabete Aramendi,A. Lazkano,Unai Irusta,Jesus Ruiz Chest compressions during Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) generate important artefacts which impede the correct analysis of the ECG signal by an automated external defibrillator (AED). The suppression of the CPR artefact is thus necessary during resuscitation. The filtering technique proposed… IEEE	2005-01-01

A real space method for averaging lemmas Authors: Jabin, Pierre-Emmanuel,Vega, Luis Abstract We introduce a new method to prove averaging lemmas, i.e., prove a regularizing effect on the average in velocity of a solution to a kinetic equation. The method does not require the use of Fourier transform and the whole procedure is performed in the ‘real space’. We are consequently… Elsevier BV	2004-11-01
An analytical proof of Hardy-like inequalities related to the Dirac operator Authors: Dolbeault, Jean,Esteban, Maria J,Loss, Michael,Vega, Luis We prove some sharp Hardy type inequalities related to the Dirac operator by elementary, direct methods. Some of these inequalities have been obtained previously using spectral information about the Dirac-Coulomb operator. Our results are stated under optimal conditions on the asymptotics of the… Elsevier BV	2004-11-01
A three-dimensional model of moist convection for the giant planets II: Saturn's water and ammonia moist convective storms Authors: Ricardo Hueso,Agustín Sánchez-Lavega Abstract Moist convective storms constitute a key aspect in the global energy budget of the atmospheres of the giant planets. Among them, Saturn is known to develop the largest scale convective storms in the Solar System, the Great White Spots (GWS) which occur rarely and have been detected once… Elsevier BV	2004-11-01

French,Jose Félix Rojas,Santiago Pérez-Hoyos Abstract Analyses of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images of Saturn obtained from August 2003 to March 2004, with extensive support from ground-based telescopes, have been used to characterize the cloud morphology and motions in its atmosphere few months before the Cassini encounter. We present… Elsevier BV	2004-08-01
The Cauchy problem for quasi-linear Schr�dinger equations Authors: Carlos E. Kenig,Luis Vega,Gustavo Ponce with x ∈ Rn, t ∈ R with ∇ = (∂x1, .., ∂xn) and summation convention. One may think of the equation in (1.1) as a non-linear Schrodinger equation where the operator modeling the dispersion relation is non-isotropic and depends also on the unknown function, its conjugate and their gradients in the… Springer Science and Business Media LLC	2004-06-09
The Magnetic Field in Giant Extrasolar Planets Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega We study the internal structure and the convective motions of giant extrasolar planets in order to calculate their dynamo-generated surface magnetic field and dipolar magnetic moment. Using evolutionary models, we investigate the existence of magnetism in planets with masses ranging from 0.3MJ to… American Astronomical Society	2004-06-08
Erratum to: Quality-of-life outcomes with laparoscopic vs open cholecystectomy Authors: Amaia Bilbao,I. López de Tejada,José M. Quintana,José Luis Cabriada,Inmaculada Arostegui In the “Materials and methods” section, under the subheading “Statistical analysis,” it was stated that just patients with ASA IV were in the high surgical risk group, whereas the high surgical risk group included patients with ASA III and ASA IV.

Clouds in planetary atmospheres: A useful application of the Clausius–Clapeyron equation Authors: Santiago Pérez-Hoyos,Ricardo Hueso,Agustín Sánchez-Lavega The Clausius–Clapeyron equation is used to do a comparative study of the properties of the clouds that form in planetary atmospheres. Simple static atmospheric models for various planets, the satellite Titan, and the extrasolar planet HD209458b are used together with the saturation vapor pressure… American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT)	2004-05-12
Smoothing and Word Sense Disambiguation Authors: Eneko Agirre,David Martinez This paper presents an algorithm to apply the smoothing techniques described in [15] to three different Machine Learning (ML) methods for Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD).

EPIC simulations of the merger of Jupiter's White Ovals BE and FA: altitude-dependent behavior Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,Raul Morales-Juberias,Raul Morales-Juberias,Timothy E. Dowling Abstract Observations of the merger of Jupiter's White Ovals BE and FA show altitude-dependent behavior that we seek to capture in numerical simulations. In particular, it was observed that the upper portions of the vortices orbited each other before merging, but the lower portions translated… Elsevier BV	2003-11-01
Energy concentration and Sommerfeld condition for Helmholtz and Liouville equations Authors: Benoît Perthame,Luis Vega Abstract We consider the Helmholtz equation with a variable index of refraction n(x), which is not necessarily constant at infinity but can have an angular dependency like n(x)→n∞(x/\|x\|) as \|x\|→∞. We prove that the Sommerfeld condition at infinity still holds true under the weaker form 1 R… Cellule MathDoc/Centre Mersenne	2003-10-20

A strong decrease in Saturn's equatorial jet at cloud level Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,Richard G. French,Ricardo Hueso,Santiago Pérez-Hoyos,Jose Félix Rojas The atmospheres of the giant planets Jupiter and Saturn have a puzzling system of zonal (east-west) winds alternating in latitude, with the broad and intense equatorial jets on Saturn having been observed previously to reach a velocity of about 470 m x s(-1) at cloud level. Globally, the location… Springer Science and Business Media LLC	2003-06-05

Sommerfeld condition for a Liouville equation and concentration of trajectories Authors: Benoît Perthame,Luis Vega We analyse the concentration of trajectories in a Liouville equation set in the full space with a potential which is not constant at infinity.
