Estimation of backscattered echoes from underwater targets using block sparsity

In this work, we introduce a block sparse reconstruction technique to estimate backscattered echoes from underwater targets. The backscattered field of a spherical shell or the broadside scattering of a cylindrical shell contains a specular reflection as well as some elastic leaky surface waves, while the elastic parts appear as a periodic signal, which may be modeled using a block pattern. Thus,

A Sparsity-Based Passive Multistatic Detector

In this paper, we examine the problem of target detection for the multistatic passive radar. Passive radar systems leverage the existing wireless sources, such as radio/TV stations and cellular signals that are referred to as illuminators of opportunity (IOs), to illuminate the environment and provide surveillance functions. Usually, these IO source signals are sparse or locally sparse in the freq

Clinical outcome of the 2nd generation cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation - A sub-study of the randomized trial evaluating single versus dual cryoballoon applications

AIMS: To assess the efficacy of the 2nd generation Cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF), and to compare it to patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).METHODS: The outcome (arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months) was prospectively assessed in patients with PersAF(n = 77) and compared to that in patients with PAF(n = 62), who

Acute and long-term efficacy and safety with a single cryoballoon application as compared with the standard dual application strategy : a prospective randomized study using the second-generation cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation

Aims: A single cryoballoon (CB) application per vein for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) could save time and was therefore compared to the standard approach of two consecutive CB applications for acute and long-term efficacy and safety.Methods and results: Patients with symptomatic AF were randomized to a single CB application per vein guided by an Achieve®

Increase of ventricular interval during atrial fibrillation by atrioventricular node vagal stimulation : chronic clinical atrioventricular-nodal stimulation download study

BACKGROUND: Patients with a high ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation (AF) are at increased risk of receiving inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks. The objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of high frequency atrioventricular-nodal stimulation (AVNS) to reduce the ventricular rate during AF to prevent inappropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator shocks.M

Outcomes and safety of new techniques for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation: A study based on randomised trials and registries

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common disease with a high prevalence in the adult population. Treatment of AF encompasses antiarrhythmic drugs and catheter ablation to reduce symptoms. The aim of this thesis was to study how to best alleviate symptoms of AF in a safe and efficient way comparing pharmacological treatment and the two dominating catheter ablation techniques, cryoballoon (CRYO) ablatio
