Study of semileptonic and nonleptonic decays of the meson
We evaluate semileptonic and two--meson nonleptonic decays of the
meson in the framework of a nonrelativistic quark model. The former are done in
spectator approximation using one--body current operators at the quark level.
Our model reproduces the constraints of heavy quark spin symmetry obtained in
the limit of infinite heavy quark mass. For the two--meson nonleptonic decays
we work in factorization approximation. We compare our results to the ones
obtained in different relativistic approaches.Comment: Talk given at the IVth International Conference on Quarks an Nuclear

Exploiting Prior Knowledge in Compressed Sensing Wireless ECG Systems
Recent results in telecardiology show that compressed sensing (CS) is a
promising tool to lower energy consumption in wireless body area networks for
electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. However, the performance of current
CS-based algorithms, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction quality of
the ECG, still falls short of the performance attained by state-of-the-art
wavelet based algorithms. In this paper, we propose to exploit the structure of
the wavelet representation of the ECG signal to boost the performance of
CS-based methods for compression and reconstruction of ECG signals. More
precisely, we incorporate prior information about the wavelet dependencies
across scales into the reconstruction algorithms and exploit the high fraction
of common support of the wavelet coefficients of consecutive ECG segments.
Experimental results utilizing the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Database show that
significant performance gains, in terms of compression rate and reconstruction
quality, can be obtained by the proposed algorithms compared to current
CS-based methods.Comment: Accepted for publication at IEEE Journal of Biomedical and Health

Masses and semileptonic decays of doubly heavy baryons in a nonrelativistic quark model
We evaluate masses and semileptonic decay widths for the ground state of
doubly heavy and baryons in the framework of a nonrelativistic
quark model. We solve the three-body problem by means of a variational ansatz
made possible by heavy-quark spin symmetry constraints. Our masses are
comparable to the ones obtained in relativistic calculations and we get one of
the best agreements with lattice data. Our simple wave functions are used to
evaluate semileptonic decays of doubly heavy and baryons. Our results for the decay widths are in reasonable
agreement with calculations done in a relativistic calculation in the
quark-diquark approximation. We also check that our wave functions comply with
what it is expected in the infinite heavy quark mass limit.Comment: 3 latex pages, two tables. To appear in the INPC07 proceeding
