Variable search space for software testing
Authors: Jose A. Lozano,Ramón Sagarna
Testing is an essential phase in the software life cycle. One of the most important tasks testing involves is the automatic generation of the test inputs. The field of evolutionary testing aims at solving this task by means of combinatorial optimization search methods. An evolutionary testing based…

Relation between estimates of myocardial ischemia using high resolution electrocardiography and scintigraphic images
Authors: R. Groshon,Michael Ringborn,Elisabete Aramendi,Leif Sörnmo,Paul Lander,Ralph Lazzara,Galen S. Wagner
Presents some preliminary data suggesting that acute myocardial ischemia may be uniquely detectable in the QRS complex of the high resolution ECG. It is hypothesized that acute ischemia may create functional block, leading to ischemically-altered ventricular activation patterns. The study assessed…

Density-functional study of the stabilization of the Si(001) dimer vacancy by Ni
Authors: R. H. Nobes,Elena Akhmatskaya,Jan Andzelm,Andrew P. Horsfield,Niranjan Govind,George Fitzgerald
For many condensed matter problems, atomic type orbitals offer good computational efficiency. We have studied the clean surface of silicon using the program ${\mathrm{DMOL}}^{3}$ and obtain results in excellent agreement with well converged plane-wave calculations. We then proceed to study the…

Observations of Saturn's Ribbon Wave 14 Years after Its Discovery
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega
Abstract A singular feature in planetary atmospheres, the saturnian midnorthern latitude “ribbon” wave, was discovered in images obtained during the Voyager 1 and 2 encounters with the planet in 1980 and 1981. Here we present evidence of its first detection 14 years later (about half a Saturn…

Use of explicit criteria for total hip joint replacement fixation techniques
Authors: Ramón Tobio,Jose M Aranburu,J. Ignacio Goenaga,Inmaculada Arostegui,José M. Quintana,Jesús Azkarate,Begoña Goikoetxea
We developed a tool to judge the appropriateness of indications and fixation mechanisms for total hip joint replacement (THJR) and applied it to a sample of patients. Criteria were developed using a modified Delphi panel judgment process, following the RAND methodology (RAM). We recruited, during 1…

On the effective thermal diffusivity of fiber-reinforced composites
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,J. M. Terrón,R. Celorrio,Agustín Salazar
Modulated photothermal techniques provide useful methods based on linear relations between measurable quantities to obtain the thermal diffusivity of homogeneous materials. In this letter the applicability of such linear relations in the case of unidirectional fiber-reinforced composites (UFRC) is…

General solution for the thermal wave scattering in fiber composites
Authors: Agustín Salazar,Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,J. M. Terrón
In this article we present a general solution for the ac temperature field generated from a modulated heating in an opaque material containing a series of aligned subsurface cylinders. The model includes the multiple scattering effects suffered by the plane thermal wave, generated by a planar heat…

Authors: Kenig, Carlos E.,Ponce, Gustavo,Vega, Luis
It is shown that ifu is a solution of the initial value problem for the generalized Korteweg-de Vries equation such that there exists b ∈ R with supp u(· ,t j ) ⊆ (b, ∞) (or (−∞ ,b )), for j = 1, 2( t1 � t2), then u ≡ 0. 2002 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS European Mathematical Society - EMS - Publishing House GmbH
Photoelastic effect and mirage deflection in anisotropic materials
Authors: Agustín Sánchez-Lavega,Gerardo Gutiérrez-Juárez,Whye-Teong Ang,Agustín Salazar,M. Gateshki
The collinear mirage technique is widely used to measure the thermal diffusivity of semi-transparent materials. However, in a recent paper [A. Salazar, M. Gateshki and A. Sanchez-Lavega: Appl. Phys. Lett. 76, 2665 (2000)], it was shown that for isotropic materials, because of the influence of…

Global wellposedness for 1D non-linear Schrödinger equation for data with an infinite L2 norm
Authors: Vargas, Ana,Vega, Luis
Abstract We prove global wellposedness for the one-dimensional cubic non-linear Schrodinger equation in a space of distributions which is invariant under Galilean transformations and includes L 2 . This space arises naturally in the study of the restriction properties of the Fourier transform…

We study the global Cauchy problem for the equation iut+Δu+λ|u|αu=0 in ℝN. Using generalized Strichartz' inequalities we show that, under some restrictions on α, if the initial value is sufficiently small in some weak Lpspace then there exists a global solution. This result provides a common…
