The evaluation of acoustic characteristic performance on natural sound absorbing materials from cogon grass waste
… fibers are been used widely in the field of sound absorption due to their superior characteristics such as durable and chemical resistant. However, there are several disadvantages of synthetic fibers such as non-biodegradability and hazards to the health of human. In this research, the …

Informing the next generation of auditory midbrain implants, neuronal population dynamics in the auditory cortex and midbrain, and the potentials of optogenetic stimulation
… to optimise stimulation to mimic the area's natural inputs and achieve useful sound perception. Additionally, electrode based devices afford poor spatial resolution, which optogenetics may solve. Simultaneous silicon probe recordings were performed in the inferior colliculus (IC) and auditory …

Effects of narration on recall of television news: Remembering the video photo essay
… item in narrated mode (i.e., with narration, sound-bites, natural sound, music, and moving visual cover footage). Group two saw the video photo-essay mode of presentation (i.e., with natural sound, sound-bites, music, and moving picture cover footage, but with no narration sound track). …

Likelihood and Bayesian signal processing methods for the analysis of auditory neural and behavioral data
… models to describe neural data in response to natural sound stimulation is another problem that currently represents a challenge. In the third section of the thesis, we develop a generalized linear model for responses to natural sound stimuli and estimate maximum likelihood parameters. Our …

The third order elastic constants of aluminum
… pressure and uniaxial stress derivatives of the natural sound velocities using a two specimen interferometric technique. The values obtained are ...in units of 101 2 dyn.cm -2 • I The specimens were neutron irradiated to eliminate dislocation effects~ from the uniaxial experiments. A …

PARLANCE
… in <em>Parlance</em> are explorations into sound-inspired imagery created through the blending of two divergent approaches: 1) drawing made by meditative inspiration and 2) printing driven by the execution of a predetermined plan.</p> <p>Considered representationally, each print is a chorus …

The Role of Texture in French Spectral Music
… materials of spectral music---either a natural sound spectrum or generated spectrum---and the resulting texture in the final composition show how spectral music is truly dependent on texture for its characteristic spectral sound. Finally, texture is examined as a formally determinant …

Experience dependent coding of intonations by offsets in mouse auditory cortex
… auditory cortical areas. Moreover, learning in a natural communication paradigm engages auditory cortical plasticity mechanisms in ways that are distinct from laboratory operant training paradigms, emphasizing the importance of studying learning in social settings. Our work utilizes a natural …

Optimality of human acoustic perception of natural sounds, and violin acoustics elucidated with a non-corporeal musical instrument made by fully air-coupled finite-element-modeling of the Titian Stradivarius
… the stimulus. From hundreds of measurements of naturally scintillating environmental sound signals, Weber's law is found to be a consequence of attaining the minimum mean-square error, known as the Cramer-Rao lower bound, and maximum Fisher information in intensity estimation. Remarkably, …

Mammalian habitat use along a residential development gradient in northern Colorado
… activities associated with development and non-natural sound levels emerged as top models for most species. Relative activity rates corroborated occupancy results, indicating that some species not only use habitat in high density areas, they use it more frequently. In addition, some species, …

Improving Impulse Audio Source Separation using Generative Adversarial Networks for Phase Generation
… candidate audio separation method for dynamic soundscapes such as tactical fields and music. We followed with an experimental investigation of the role of phase in Time-Frequency masking, finding its importance to the intelligibility of speech to be paramount. In particular, the construction of …

The second and third order elastic constants of magnesium
… and uniaxial compression derivatives of the natural sound velocities using an ultrasonic pulse superposition technique. The specimen was neutron irradiated to suppress dislocation effects. A theoretical model has been developed to predict the elastic constants of magnesium. The energy density …

Modeling and Evaluating Human Sound Localization in the Natural Environment
Humans locate sounds in their environment to avoid danger and identify objects of interest. In a ten-minute bike ride, a person might take note of a car approaching from behind, a tree where a bird is singing, and pedestrians walking from around a blind corner. Research on human sound localization …

Improvising Otherwise: Sound, Nature, and Coloniality in Early Modern England
… us to re-consider and question ways of writing, sounding, and being in the world. In this thesis I use improvisation as a lens through which we can listen to alternative stories of early modern English music history, situating my musical research within histories of the body, sounds of nature, …

Urban soundscapes: the effect of auditory stimulation on mood
… know a great deal less about the extent to which sounds in the landscape influence mood. What is the relationship between visual environments and soundscapes and how do they interact to affect mood in urban cityscapes? To what extent do some typical landscape sounds increase negative feelings? To …

Natural and Experimental Noise Affects Acoustic Communication in Songbirds
… noise on animal communication, precisely how natural background noise influences communication and behavior remains unclear. Yet, natural sources of background noise, such as rushing rivers or crashing ocean surf, share similar power spectra to sources of anthropogenic noise and can occur at …
