Maurer &eie Universit8G Berlin, Fachbereich Physik, Kiinigin-Luise-Str.28-30, 0-1000 Berlin 33, Gemany Abstract.- In metals the conduction electrons contribute significantly to the acoustic-wave-induced electric-field-gradient-tensor (DEFG) at the nuclear positions. Since nuclear electric quadrupole coupling to the DEFG is sensi- tive to acoustic shear modes only, nuclear acoustic resonance (NAR) is a par- ticularly useful tool in studying the coup1 ing of electrons to shear modes without being affected by volume dilatations. -

Acoustic wave propagation in rivers: an experimental study Thomas Geay1, Ludovic Michel1,2, Sébastien Zanker2 and James Robert Rigby3 1Univ. Grenoble Alpes, CNRS, Grenoble INP, GIPSA-lab, 38000 Grenoble, France 2EDF, Division Technique Générale, 38000 Grenoble, France 5 3USDA-ARS National Sedimentation Laboratory, Oxford, Mississippi, USA Correspondence to: Thomas Geay ([email protected]) Abstract. This research has been conducted to develop the use of Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM) in rivers, a surrogate method for bedload monitoring. PAM consists in measuring the underwater noise naturally generated by bedload particles when impacting the river bed. Monitored bedload acoustic signals depend on bedload characteristics (e.g. grain size 10 distribution, fluxes) but are also affected by the environment in which the acoustic waves are propagated. This study focuses on the determination of propagation effects in rivers. An experimental approach has been conducted in several streams to estimate acoustic propagation laws in field conditions. It is found that acoustic waves are differently propagated according to their frequency. As reported in other studies, acoustic waves are affected by the existence of a cutoff frequency in the kHz region. This cutoff frequency is inversely proportional to the water depth: larger water depth enables a better propagation of 15 the acoustic waves at low frequency. Above the cutoff frequency, attenuation coefficients are found to increase linearly with frequency. The power of bedload sounds is more attenuated at higher frequencies than at low frequencies which means that, above the cutoff frequency, sounds of big particles are better propagated than sounds of small particles. Finally, it is observed that attenuation coefficients are variable within 2 orders of magnitude from one river to another. -

Low-Frequency Noise: a Biophysical Phenomenon M
PSC REF#:288480 Public Service Commission of Wisconsin RECEIVED: 07/08/16, 8:46:12 AM Congres Geluid, Trillingen, Luchtkwaliteit en Gebied & Gebouw 2012 Low-frequency noise: a biophysical phenomenon M. Oud (medical physicist / consultant)* * [email protected], http://nl.linkedin.com/in/mireilleoud, the Netherlands Abstract Complaints on low-frequency noise were till recently fairly unexplained, but audiological research shed light on the mechanisms that enable perception of frequencies below the threshold of average normal hearing. It was shown that exposure to low-frequency sound may alter the inner ear. This results in an increase of sensitivity to low-frequency sounds, and as a result, previously imperceptible sounds becomes audible to the exposed person. Interactions between inner-ear responses to low and higher frequencies furthermore account for perception of low-frequency sound, as well as the property of the hearing system to perceive so-called difference tones. Introduction A growing minority of people experiences an increased sensitivity for low-frequency sound. Not surprisingly, they complain about noise, even about loud noise in some cases. Their complaints about the presence of hum, buzz, and rumble are often not recognized as a nuisance, since the majority of people does not perceive the very low frequencies. Low-frequency noise (LFN) may have serious health effects like vertigo, disturbed sleep, stress, hypertension, and heart rhythm disorders [1]. The number of sufferers is growing, and this has two possible causes. The sources of low- frequency sounds increased in volume and dimension over the past decades, and auditory sensitisation takes years to develop. Nowadays, the main source of low-frequency noise is the public infrastructure: wind turbines, gas transmission grid, industrial plants, road and railway traffic, sewerage, and so on. -

The acoustic metamaterials have demonstrated to exhibit excellent acoustical characteristics that paved a new pathway for researchers to develop effective solutions for a wide variety of multifunctional applications such as low-frequency sound attenuation, sound wave manipulation, energy harvesting, acoustic focusing, acoustic cloaking, biomedical acoustics, and topological acoustics. This review provides an update on the acoustic metamaterials' recent progress for simultaneous sound attenuation and air ventilation performances. Several variants of acoustic metamaterials, such as locally resonant structures, space-coiling, holey and labyrinthine metamaterials, and Fano resonant materials, are discussed briefly. Finally, the current challenges and future outlook in this emerging field -

Chapter 36 | Sensory Systems 1109 36 | SENSORY SYSTEMS Figure 36.1 This shark uses its senses of sight, vibration (lateral-line system), and smell to hunt, but it also relies on its ability to sense the electric fields of prey, a sense not present in most land animals. (credit: modification of work by Hermanus Backpackers Hostel, South Africa) Chapter Outline 36.1: Sensory Processes 36.2: Somatosensation 36.3: Taste and Smell 36.4: Hearing and Vestibular Sensation 36.5: Vision Introduction In more advanced animals, the senses are constantly at work, making the animal aware of stimuli—such as light, or sound, or the presence of a chemical substance in the external environment—and monitoring information about the organism’s internal environment. All bilaterally symmetric animals have a sensory system, and the development of any species’ sensory system has been driven by natural selection; thus, sensory systems differ among species according to the demands of their environments. The shark, unlike most fish predators, is electrosensitive—that is, sensitive to electrical fields produced by other animals in its environment. While it is helpful to this underwater predator, electrosensitivity is a sense not found in most land animals. 36.1 | Sensory Processes By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: • Identify the general and special senses in humans • Describe three important steps in sensory perception • Explain the concept of just-noticeable difference in sensory perception Senses provide information about the body and its environment. Humans have five special senses: olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), equilibrium (balance and body position), vision, and hearing. -
Effect of Thickness, Density and Cavity Depth on the Sound Absorption Properties of Wool Boards
AUTEX Research Journal, Vol. 18, No 2, June 2018, DOI: 10.1515/aut-2017-0020 © AUTEX EFFECT OF THICKNESS, DENSITY AND CAVITY DEPTH ON THE SOUND ABSORPTION PROPERTIES OF WOOL BOARDS Hua Qui, Yang Enhui Key Laboratory of Eco-textiles, Ministry of Education, Jiangnan University, Jiangsu, China Abstract: A novel wool absorption board was prepared by using a traditional non-woven technique with coarse wools as the main raw material mixed with heat binding fibers. By using the transfer-function method and standing wave tube method, the sound absorption properties of wool boards in a frequency range of 250–6300 Hz were studied by changing the thickness, density, and cavity depth. Results indicated that wool boards exhibited excellent sound absorption properties, which at high frequencies were better than that at low frequencies. With increasing thickness, the sound absorption coefficients of wool boards increased at low frequencies and fluctuated at high frequencies. However, the sound absorption coefficients changed insignificantly and then improved at high frequencies with increasing density. With increasing cavity depth, the sound absorption coefficients of wool boards increased significantly at low frequencies and decreased slightly at high frequencies. Keywords: wool boards; sound absorption coefficients; thickness; density; cavity depth 1.
