Front/back/side : design of outdoor spaces for multi-family residences
… curb cuts for individual driveways, "private" backyards that all abut, and views from the interiors and porches directly to neighbors' interiors and porches. Though residents might know some of their neighbors directly next door, the feeling of a larger sense of community is lost with in the …

The Effects of Sound Cue Characteristics on Overcoming Front/Back Localization Errors in a 3-D Auditory Display
… evidence that localization accuracy for direct front and direct back regions is significantly worse than that of locations in the periphery for virtual 3-D auditory stimuli. In the study conducted, a highpass filter addition or a lowpass filter addition was compared to a "normal" condition for …

Effect of Sound Cue Frequency Filters on Front/Back Localization Performance for Three-Dimensional Verbal and Non-Verbal Warnings
… as well. However, one of the main drawbacks of using 3D audio technology is the increase in front and back localization errors in which a listener may confuse the location of the warnings. Mistakes in localization may be dangerous in flight, especially when locating such hazards like …

Evaluating the Intra-variability and Inter-variability of Fibers in Cotton T-shirts using Microspectrophotometry
… to produce a spectrum of the front, back, sleeve and armpit of the t-shirt. These sections were then compared to the color chips in the Munsell Book of Color by observing them with the naked eye. Phase II of this study involved varying the boxcar width, the average scans and …

Three-dimensional image processing for synthetic holographic stereograms
… have undistort ed images that occupy space in front, back, and through the hologram surface. This technique is much more convenient that the current alternatives which either require unusual large optics, or much more intensive use of computer resources. It should therefore facilitate the fast …

Binaural Hearing Effects of Mapping Microphone Array's Responses to a Listener's Head-Related Transfer Functions
… based error in localization, i.e., front/back confusion.

Aspiration in Chinese
… of the voice onset time from the syllable on the front, back, middle and both ends. The results are reported and discussed. The effects of aspiration on intrinsic tone heights in Mandarin were measured and the significance calculated. Finally some attempts are made to solve the development of …

Monte Carlo simulations for the purpose of efficiency curve calibration for the Fastscan whole body counter
… the position of external contamination using front/back ratios of activity. Simulations were also conducted to create efficiency calibrations that had good agreement with the manufacturer's efficiency curves. The work completed in this thesis can be used to create efficiency calibration curves …

Determining the Adequacy of Bufferyards in Springfield, Missouri
… to these bufferyards can continue to enjoy their front, back or side yards and the views from their windows as much as they did before the implementation of the more intense development.

Horizontal non-contact slumping of flat glass
… best flatness achieved was 6.7/3.6+0.5 [mu]m for front/back of the glass sheet, with a gap of 36+2.5 [mu]pm. It was discovered that 600*C is hotter than necessary and that 550*C is still too hot for optimal slumping conditions. In addition, an important shift is made from using an oven, which …

Effects of Video Modeling on Skill Acquisition in Learning the Golf Swing
… in the single-view group viewed a CD with a front view only demonstration repeated 40 times of the golf swing with a driver. Participants in the multi-view group viewed a CD with a multi-view (front, back, left, and right) demonstration of the golf swing using a driver. The demonstration was …

Differences in female and male development of the human cerebral cortex from birth to age 16
… waves that travel across left-right and front-back spatial gradients in both hemispheres. Growth spurts in mean coherence correlate with the genetic process of synapse overproduction and pruning spurts correlate with synapse elimination. Growth processes in neural connections evident in …

An exploration into aphantasia: the inability to form voluntary mental imagery
… greater variability in their response times for front/back orientations within an egocentric task. In Chapter 5, a task that attempted to isolate ‘visual’ from spatial imagery showed no difference in performance across visual and spatial features. Nevertheless, self-reports of nonvisual sensory …

A binaural sound sources localisation application for smart phones
… sample is considered. An effort to resolve front back ambiguity using phone orientation data from the MEMs sensors yielded un-satisfactory results prompting a recommendation that an extra microphone would be needed to achieve 360° localization in a more user friendly way. The dissertation …

Evaluation of Military Hearing Protection Devices in a Simulated Aircraft Carrier Soundscape
… evaluated two newly developed systems — the Frontier 1 and Frontier 2 — against four commonly used military hearing protection devices (HPDs) and the open ear within simulated aircraft carrier flight deck and room ambient conditions. Fourteen normal-hearing participants completed a series of …

Evaluation of a Test Method for Assessing Horizontal Localization and Auditory Learning with Electronic Pass-through Hearing Protection
… accuracy test measured in four quadrants (Left-Front, Right-Front, Left-Rear, and Right- Rear) and a front-back confusion test (FBCT). Accuracy within each quadrant was reduced to a mean absolute error, in degrees, for stimuli presented at 30 deg and 60 deg from the medial plane. FBCT consisted …

Suspicion, control and desire - a criminological analysis of secretive conduct and smart devices
… in a covert and discreet manner - the Goffmanian front & back stage result constantly under scrutiny. In this context, the users become increasingly effected by this covert scrutiny. The smartphone functions as a quintessential tool that allows such a blur - leading into the onlife question of …

Cave pollen taphonomy in Kurdish Iraq
… Mountains of Kurdish Iraq were collected along front-back transects and outside for comparison in order to evaluate the distribution of anemophilous and entomophilous taxa in relation to the sample location. Additional surface samples were collected from Shanidar Cave along a side to side and …

Resource Allocation Using Touch And Audition
… In this study the targeting cues came from in front of or behind the participant. Cues coming from in front of the participant meant the target was to the left, and conversely if the cue came from behind it meant that the target was to the right. The results of experiments 1 and 3 showed that …

Studies of turbulent flows in continuous casting of steel with and without magnetic field
… by suppressing nozzle bottom swirl and its front-back alternation. Based on this work, it is advised to avoid stronger magnetic field around jet and nozzle bottom to get more stable and less defect prone flow.
