Hecho en Argentina Made in Argentina Asociación de Acústicos Argentinos, AdAA Camino Centenario y 5006, Gonnet, Buenos Aires, Argentina http://www.adaa.org.ar Proceedings of the 22th International Congress on Acoustics ICA 2016 5-9 September 2016 Catholic University of Argentina, Buenos Aires, Argentina ICA 2016 has been organised by the Ibero-american Federation of Acoustics (FIA) and the Argentinian Acousticians Association (AdAA) on behalf of the International Commission for Acoustics. The program incorporates the X Ibero-american Federation of Acoustics Congress, the XIV Argentine Congress of Acoustics, and the XXVI Meeting of the Brazilian Acoustical Society The purpose of the ICA is to promote international development and collaboration in all fields of acoustics including research, development, education, and standardisation. It fulfils this mission by maintaining contacts with national and regional acoustical societies and associations; convening the International Congresses on Acoustics; sponsoring special international meetings. The Commission is affiliated to the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics; the International Union of Applied and Theoretical Mechanics and the International Council of Scientific Unions. The Ibero-American Federation of Acoustics (Federación Iberoamericana de Acústica – FIA) is a non-profit scientific association, created in October 1995, in Valdivia –Chile, being its members the Acoustical Societies of the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries. It seeks to to establish links between acoustics associations, private and public companies, scientific institutes and universities, syndicates, etc. To this end it organizes congresses, workshops, courses and meetings and promotes cooperation agreements The Argentinian Acousticians Association (AdAA) is a non-profit academic organization that aims to raise awareness of the worth and utility of Acoustics in its many areas and applications by bringing together scientists, professionals, interested people and organizations. To this end it encourages research and exchange of knowledge in all fields of acoustics, organizes meetings and congresses as well as activities for the general public such as the Week of Sound. The Society was founded in 1976, so this year it celebrates its 40th anniversary. 1 Welcome Message from Marion Burgess President, International Commission of Acoustics, 2013-2016 It is with great pleasure that on behalf of the International Commission for Acoustics I welcome you to the ICA 2016 in Buenos Aires. The selection of the hosts for the congress of the ICA is undertaken 6 years before the actual event and since that time there have been three Presidents of the ICA. However the organising committee has worked throughout this time to bring to fruition this congress. That committee comprised the Ibero- american Federation of Acoustics (FIA) and the Argentinian Acousticians Association (AdAA), in cooperation with the Chilean Acoustics Society (SOCHA). We thank the efforts of the committee for working on this congress over so many years and in particular thank the Congress President, Jorge Patricio and the Congress Secretary General Nilda Vechiatti. The International Congress on Acoustics provides the opportunity only once every three years for all those around the world who are working in all areas of acoustics to meet, discuss and exchange ideas. We hope that during the congress you will benefit from the opportunity for cross disciplinary discussion. The five plenary lectures provide insights into five very different areas of acoustics. This highlights the breadth of the coverage of the presentations at the congress. The main program involves the presentations in a range of special topic areas and structured sessions. The technical exhibition provides the opportunity to see the latest advances in instrumentation and products related to acoustics. The ICA provides grants to support the participation of some Young Scientists at the congress. We are delighted that additional funding from the International Union for Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) has been used to extend the Young Scientists support scheme. This is the first time that the ICA has been held in South America so it is a wonderful opportunity for those from other parts of the world to learn more about the work being undertaken in these countries. It also provides the opportunity to learn more about the cultural and social life of Argentina and, perhaps for some, the opportunity to also travel to the nearby countries. Thank you to all those who have worked and continue to work on the arrangements for this congress and, equally importantly, thank you to those who are participating and presenting their work to colleagues. 2 Welcome Message from Jorge Patricio President, Iberomaerican Federation of Acoustics, President, International Congress on Acoustics It is with great pleasure that I welcome you all to the 22nd International Congress on Acoustics, ICA 2016, that is being held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, between 5th and 9th, September, 2016. This congress is one of the most important forums for those around the world working in all areas of Acoustics. It makes an outstanding opportunity to meet, discuss, exchange ideas, and establish partnerships, thus promoting the research and development of this scientific branch of Knowledge, in order to duly serve the needs of the Human being. Jointly, with the ICA2016, it will also be held the X Ibero- american Federation of Acoustics Congress (FIA 2016), incorporating the XIV Argentinean Congress of Acoustics and the XXVI Meeting of the Brazilian Acoustical Society. The ICA 2016 Congress is organized by the Ibero-american Federation of Acoustics (FIA) and the Argentinian Acousticians Association (AdAA), in cooperation with the Chilean Acoustics Society (SOCHA), under the endorsement of the International Commission for Acoustics (ICA). It is officially sponsored by the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), and the National Council of Acoustical Consultants (NCAC), Institutions to whom I express my deepest gratitude. Although we are currently suffering strange and unexpected turbulences worldwide, Acoustics still remains as an area of scientific and technical knowledge with strong dynamism. That is evident in the almost 600 papers to be presented in the frame of the Congress, among which 5 plenary lectures deserve the utmost attention since they deal with the latest developments in emergent scientific fields. A technical exhibition of materials, products, equipment and services of innovative character, presented by several companies to whom I thank for their participation and interest, will also be a key mark of the Congress. Within the ICA umbrella, two short courses are planned to occur. Also, as satellite event, a Symposium on Room and Musical Acoustics will be held immediately after ICA 2016, in the Argentinian city of La Plata. The accompanying persons programme, scheduled for these days, and the various social activities, turn this attendance into an excellent and unique opportunity to enjoy the Congress, and a chance to visit the magnificent and astonishing city of Buenos Aires, the Paris of South America with its culture and history, being proud to host their visitors with hospitality and a smile of hope in the future. Finally, and on behalf of the organizing team of ICA 2016, I want to stress my deepest thanks for your participation, as well as for the involvement of all supporting institutions and persons with a special mention to Prof. Nilda Vechiatti (Secretary General of ICA 2016) for her dedication, commitment and work. So, on behalf of ICA 2016 organization and the Ibero-american Federation of Acoustics, I wish you all an excellent stay in Buenos Aires, in Argentina and in South America. 3 Welcome Message from Nilda Vechiatti President, Argentinian Acousticians

  • Johnson Noise and Shot Noise: the Determination of the Boltzmann Constant, Absolute Zero Temperature and the Charge of the Electron
    Johnson Noise and Shot Noise: The Determination of the Boltzmann Constant, Absolute Zero Temperature and the Charge of the Electron MIT Department of Physics (Dated: September 3, 2013) In electronic measurements, one observes \signals," which must be distinctly above the \noise." Noise induced from outside sources may be reduced by shielding and proper \grounding." Less noise means greater sensitivity with signal/noise as the figure of merit. However, there exist fundamental sources of noise which no clever circuit can avoid. The intrinsic noise is a result of the thermal jitter of the charge carriers and the quantization of charge. The purpose of this experiment is to measure these two limiting electrical noises. From the measurements, values of the Boltzmann constant and the charge of the electron will be derived. PREPARATORY QUESTIONS By the end of the 19th century, the accumulated ev- idence from chemistry, crystallography, and the kinetic Please visit the Johnson and Shot Noise chapter on the theory of gases left little doubt about the validity of the 8.13x website at mitx.mit.edu to review the background atomic theory of matter. Nevertheless, there were still material for this experiment. Answer all questions found arguments against the atomic theory, stemming from a in the chapter. Work out the solutions in your laboratory lack of "direct" evidence for the reality of atoms.

  • NTGAN: Learning Blind Image Denoising Without Clean Reference
    RUI ZHAO, DANIEL P.K. LUN, KIN-MAN LAM: NTGAN 1 NTGAN: Learning Blind Image Denoising without Clean Reference Rui Zhao Department of Electronic and [email protected] Information Engineering, Daniel P.K. Lun The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, [email protected] Hong Kong, China Kin-Man Lam [email protected] Abstract Recent studies on learning-based image denoising have achieved promising perfor- mance on various noise reduction tasks. Most of these deep denoisers are trained ei- ther under the supervision of clean references, or unsupervised on synthetic noise. The assumption with the synthetic noise leads to poor generalization when facing real pho- tographs. To address this issue, we propose a novel deep unsupervised image-denoising method by regarding the noise reduction task as a special case of the noise transference task. Learning noise transference enables the network to acquire the denoising ability by only observing the corrupted samples. The results on real-world denoising benchmarks demonstrate that our proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance on remov- ing realistic noises, making it a potential solution to practical noise reduction problems. 1 Introduction Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely studied over the past decade in various computer vision applications, including image classification [13], object detection [29], and image restoration [35]. In spite of high effectiveness, CNN models always require a large-scale dataset with reliable reference for training. However, in terms of low-level vision tasks, such as image denoising and image super-resolution, the reliable reference data is generally hard to access, which makes these tasks more challenging and difficult.

  • High-Quality Self-Supervised Deep Image Denoising
    High-Quality Self-Supervised Deep Image Denoising Samuli Laine Tero Karras Jaakko Lehtinen Timo Aila NVIDIA∗ NVIDIA NVIDIA, Aalto University NVIDIA Abstract We describe a novel method for training high-quality image denoising models based on unorganized collections of corrupted images. The training does not need access to clean reference images, or explicit pairs of corrupted images, and can thus be applied in situations where such data is unacceptably expensive or im- possible to acquire. We build on a recent technique that removes the need for reference data by employing networks with a “blind spot” in the receptive field, and significantly improve two key aspects: image quality and training efficiency. Our result quality is on par with state-of-the-art neural network denoisers in the case of i.i.d. additive Gaussian noise, and not far behind with Poisson and impulse noise. We also successfully handle cases where parameters of the noise model are variable and/or unknown in both training and evaluation data. 1 Introduction Denoising, the removal of noise from images, is a major application of deep learning. Several architectures have been proposed for general-purpose image restoration tasks, e.g., U-Nets [23], hierarchical residual networks [20], and residual dense networks [31]. Traditionally, the models are trained in a supervised fashion with corrupted images as inputs and clean images as targets, so that the network learns to remove the corruption. Lehtinen et al. [17] introduced NOISE2NOISE training, where pairs of corrupted images are used as training data. They observe that when certain statistical conditions are met, a network faced with the impossible task of mapping corrupted images to corrupted images learns, loosely speaking, to output the “average” image.

  • What Is Different? Between Impulse Noise and Electrical Fast Transient Burst】
    【What is different? Between Impulse Noise and Electrical Fast Transient Burst】 The Inquiry about "a distinction between an impulse noise simulator (following and our company model INS series) and a Fast transient Burst simulator (following and our company model FNS series)" is one of the major questions in a lot of quries from customers. Herewith the difference is focused and presented. The phenomenon which are reproduced and backgraound Both INS and FNS reproduce phenomenon of back electromotive energy noise which may be generated in ON/OFF of power supply switching (like a gas insulated braker and/or electromagnetism relay, etc.). INS was introduced by Mr. Manohar L.Tandor (at that time worked in I.B.M) as a simulator of the high frequency noise to data processing apparatus in the 1960s, and the computer maker of those days adopted it in the 1970s, and it spread widely. FNS is indicated as a basic standard of the immunity type test which reproduces the malfunction by the noise phenomenon of switching ON/OFF and adopted not only in Europe but also world-wide. The 1st edition of Standard for this test was issued as IEC801-4 in IEC TC65 (Industrial Process Controls) in 1988. Then, in order to adopt to all the electric devices, IEC1000-4-4 was issued in 1995. Moreover, in order to differenciate the numbering between ISO and IEC, “60000” has been added to the Stadanrd number. Consequently, it has been named as IEC61000-4-4. output waveform Rise time / the pulse width [INS] It is a rectangular wave whose pulse width is 50ns-1μs and rise time is less than 1ns.
