Sonic Persuasion: Reading Sound in the Recorded Age critically analyzes a range of sounds on vocal and musical recordings, on the radio, in film, and in cartoons to show how sounds are used to persuade in subtle ways.
This revised and extended second edition covers problems concerning the design and realization of digital control algorithms for power electronics circuits using digital signal processing (DSP) methods.
An Introduction to Sonar Systems EngineeringSecond Edition Important topics that are fundamental to the understanding of modern-day sonar systems engineering are featured.
The book provides a comprehensive description of the basic ultrasound principles, normal anatomy of the lower limb muscles and classification of muscle strain injuries.
Combining high-quality ultrasound scans with clear and concise explanatory text, this atlas includes side-by-side depictions of various conditions of the thyroid both with and without indicative marking.
This book presents a concise description of the acoustics of ocean sediment acoustics, including the latest developments that address the discrepancies between theoretical models and experimental measurements.
The revised edition of this book offers an expanded review of acoustic metamaterials; novel materials which can manipulate sound waves, surface Rayleigh waves and water waves, in surprising ways, which include collimation, focusing, negative refraction, passive and active cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission.
This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to foundational topics in sound design for embedded media, such as physical computing; interaction design; auditory displays and data sonification; speech synthesis; wearables; smart objects and instruments; user experience; toys and playful tangible objects; and the new sensibilities entailed in expanding the concept of sound design to encompass the totality of our surroundings.
This book first introduced the theoretical foundation of nonlinear acoustics such as the basic equations of nonlinear acoustics followed by a statistical mechanics approach to nonlinear acoustics, then a curvilinear spacetime approach to nonlinear acoustics, then a gauge invariance approach to nonlinear acoustics, and application of chaos theory to nonlinear acoustics.
This practical guide for managers and engineers in the plastics industry shows how to reduce high noise levels which often occur in the workplace and reduce the risk of noise-induced hearing damage to employees.
The International Symposium of Acoustical Imaging has been widely recognized as the premier forum for presentations of advanced research results in both theoretical and experimental development.
Mit der Umsetzung des Umweltprogramms der Bundesregierung begannen bedeutende Aktivitäten auf den Gebieten Forschung und Entwicklung von Umweltschutzmaßnahmen.
I have not embarked on the foreword to this scientific monograph by Armando and Gior- gio ROSSI in the expectation that it will be an easy task, because these two authors are the last remaining members of a family that has left its mark in the field of radiology in our country: therefore, the writer's enthusiasm and detachment could be jeopardized by mem- ories of his own teachers and elders and the respect he still feels towards them.
Lärmschutz, Sound-Design und akustische Behaglichkeit sind vorrangige Ziele der Entwicklung und Argumente der Vermarktung fast aller Industrieprodukte geworden.
This book highlights the mathematical and physical properties of acoustical sources with singularities located in the complex plane and presents the application of such special elements to solve acoustical radiation and scattering problems.
Mit der komplett überarbeiteten und um die Farbdopplerdiagnostik erweiterten Neuauflage ihres sehr erfolgreichen Buchs vermitteln die Autoren Pädiatern, Radiologen, Kinderchirurgen und Perinatologen einen umfassenden Überblick über die Ultraschalldiagnostik als diagnostisches Instrument in der Kinderheilkunde.
Soundscape Basics and Practical ImplicationsSoundscape research represents a paradigm shift, as it involves human and social sciences and physical measurements to account for the diversity of soundscapes across countries and cultures.
Introduction to Audio Analysis serves as a standalone introduction to audio analysis, providing theoretical background to many state-of-the-art techniques.
Building Valve Amplifiers is a unique hands-on guide for anyone working with tube audio equipment--as an electronics hobbyist, audiophile or audio engineer.
Sound Affects: A User's Guide is a collection of sonically-charged concepts ranging from those felt, 'heard' and repeated (silence, the oriental riff, shuffle), to the vocal (whispers, sing, the disembodied voice), to sounds at the threshold (tin/ny, thump, buzz) to sounds beyond the limits of audibility (inaudible tremors, distortion, sub-bass).
This proceedings book focuses on advances in theory, experiments and numerical simulations of fluid-structure-sound interactions related to turbulence, flow-induced vibration, noise and their control.
This book provides comprehensive information on new and existing vessel imaging techniques, with the intention of improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of vascular and related diseases.
It is with great pleasure and pride that the World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) publishes this "e;Manual of Diagnostic Ultrasound in Infectious and Tropical Diseases"e;.
