Whalelight: A Sounding
<p>A novel and a critical preface. In the preface, the author attempts the first formation of an epistemological definition/description of <em>weird</em> within a literary contexts as well as the experience of weirdness itself. It analyzes works by authors Dennis Johnson and William Golding, among …

Sounding Elsewhere, Sounding Everywhere: Listening to the Background from Motown and Beyond
The concern of this project is the relationship between voice, space, and the position of Black women in popular music. The project questions the sonic marking of the background vocal along racial and gendered categories arguing how the Black female voice as background, backing, and back-up is a …

CODA - Determining the sounding chamber
… is to determine the best design parameters of a sounding device through the exploration of acoustics and harmonics to impact the experience of the pedestrian in an inhospitable urban environment. The research will aid in determining whether the work of Helmholtz could become an architectural …

On sounding in wideband channels
… costs and benefits of allotting energy for sounding versus transmission, and for repeated sounding of a single channel versus sounding of various different channels. In particular, we are able to give both an upper bound and a lower bound on the number of subchannels that should be probed …

Acoustic sounding of snow water equivalent
… for the SWE values determined by acoustic sounding. The results are encouraging and suggest that this procedure is similar in accuracy to SWE data collected using gravimetric sampling. Further research is required to determine the applicability of this technique for snow situated at other …

Sounding Subjectivity: Music, Gender, and Intimacy
This dissertation centers on the role of musical experience in the production and maintenance of intimate, interpersonal relationships. Music acquires meaning in its ability to enable and amplify personal relationships among participants who share musical experience—not only through the semiotic …

Guidance and control of sounding rockets
… the design, fabrication and testing of a sounding rocket flight computer for the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO). Sounding rockets carry instruments with which to take measurements in the Earth’s atmosphere in sub-orbital flight. The South African Astronomical Observatory …

Sonic facade, creating a sounding architecture
While architecture inherently makes sound when people and the environment interact with it, architects seldom orchestrate a building to produce sound. This thesis proposes a sonic facade that turns an existing building into a sound producing instrument. Sonic facade is a wind powered sound …

Channel Sounding for D-Band Measurements
… explored to fill flexibility needs for dynamic sounding. Also of heavy interest is exploring the terahertz frequency band for communication potential in 6G. However, numerous channel sounding measurements must be collected to properly support channel models for this region. The work detailed in …

Radio Echo Sounding Studies of Svalbard Glaciers
… of this study was to investigate the radio echo sounding properties of Svalbard glaciers and to use these data to obtain information about the glaciological environment. Particular emphasis was placed on obtaining an understanding of the dielectric properties of the ice and reflecting boundaries …

Ionospheric Sounding During a Total Solar Eclipse
The ionosphere is a constantly changing medium. From the sun to cosmic rays, the ionosphere proves to be a continually interesting area of study. The most notable change that occurs in the ionosphere is the day and night cycle. The ionosphere is not a singular medium, but rather made up of …

Contaminated Sweeping Langmuir Probes on Sounding Rocket Platforms
… are one of the most commonly used probes on sounding rocket missions. They offer measurements of plasma density, electron temperature, and both relative and absolute payload charging. One of the major implementation challenges, however, is contamination on the surface of the probe such that …

A sociophonetic analysis of female-sounding virtual assistants
<p>As conversational machines (e.g., Apple's Siri and Amazon's Alexa) are increasingly anthropomorphized by humans and viewed as active interlocutors, it raises questions about the social information indexed by machine voices. This thesis provides a preliminary exploration of the relationship …
