A wavelet software package named Uvi Wave has been developed by the Signal Theory Group, in the University of Vigo, to provide a simple way to work with wavelets. So, the toolbox may be useful to make easier the understanding of theoretical concepts. Moreover, it provides an experimentation platform for wavelet applications. This paper describes the contents and main features of Uvi Wave, that ...

We consider the problem of a society whose members choose, with a voting by committees, a subset of new members from a given set of candidates. After knowing the elected candidates, former members may decide to either stay or exit the society. We analyze the voting behavior of members who take into account the e¤ect of their votes not only on the elected candidates, but also on the …nal composi...

We study a simple bargaining mechanism in which, given an order of players, the first n− 1 players sequentially announce their reservation price. Once these prices are given, the last player may choose a coalition to cooperate with, and pay each member of this coalition his reservation price. The only expected final equilibrium payoff is a new solution concept, the “selective value”, which can ...

From December 15, 2005 to June 15, 2006 the watermarking community was challenged to remove the watermark from 3 different 512 × 512 watermarked images while maximizing the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) measured by comparing the watermarked signals with their attacked counterparts. This challenge, which bore the inviting name of Break Our Watermarking System (BOWS) [1], had as its main obje...

Under the influence of the Western Iberian upwelling system, the Iberian Atlantic coast holds important hatcheries and recruitment areas for Octopus vulgaris. Recently identified as an octopus hatchery, the Ría de Vigo harbors an important mesozooplankton community that supports O. vulgaris paralarvae during the first days of their planktonic stage. This study represents a preliminary approach ...

Ria de Vigo is a funnel-shaped, fault-bounded coastal embayment in Galicia, NW Spain. There are a number of important centres of population and industrial activity along its margins, which serve as sources of pollution. Sixty-six subtidal sediment samples have been collected in the Ria. The samples have been subjected to a total digestion technique and analysed for major and trace elements (Al,...
