5pBA4 – A noninvasive ultrasound device to treat urinary stones in pet cats
Like humans, cats grow stones in their kidneys. As these stones pass through the urinary tract, they can become stuck and block the outflow of urine.
1aBAb1 – Acoustic intra-body communication using semi-guided waves through human body tissues
Researchers explore the possibility of using ultrasounds for the communication between devices attached on the body.
2pCA8 – Sonic boom propagation using an improved ray tracing technique
A computationally efficient prediction tool that can predict the impact of sonic booms in urban areas would be a useful tool for researchers and legislators.
1aBAb – Detecting liver cracks using ultrasonic shear wave imaging
Liver crack is a type of liver trauma, in which a capsular tear of different geometries occurs due to external impacts, and it is a common physical damage in traffic accidents, combating sports, and other accidents.
4aAA9 – The successful application of acoustic lighting in restaurants
To understand the rise of acoustic lighting in restaurants, it is best to go back to the beginning of modern architectural acoustics.
1pBAb5 – Predicting Spontaneous Preterm Birth Risk is Improved when Quantitative Ultrasound Data are Included with Prior Clinical Data
Novel quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technology shows promise of becoming a useful method for early detection of spontaneous preterm birth.
4aAA10 – Acoustic Effects of Face Masks on Speech: Impulse Response Measurements Between Two Head and Torso Simulators
The mouth of the source head and torso simulator (HATS) was covered with various face masks: paper, cloth, N95, nano, and face shield.
3aEA7 – Interactive Systems for Immersive Spaces
For users to take full advantage of immersive spaces the interfaces used to interact with data should be both easy to understand,
2pAB4 – Towards understanding how dolphins use sound to understand their environment
University of Michigan researchers developed a framework to provide new insight into dolphin echolocation.
3aSC7 – Human BeatBoxing: A Vocal Exploration
Human Beatboxing is a musical technique that uses the vocal tract to imitate musical instruments.
2aCA11-Validating a phase-inversion procedure to assess the signal-to-noise ratios at the output of hearing aids with wide-dynamic-range compression
Researchers looked to see whether a specific technique used to determine the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) at the output of a hearing aid gave accurate results.
4aMU8 – Neural Plasticity for Music Processing in Young Adults: the Effect of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique.
4aAB7 – Slower ships, quieter oceans: Reducing underwater noise to support endangered killer whales
The Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) Program coordinates research projects to advance our understanding of underwater noise
1aED3 – Accelerating Science Education by Interactive Simulators and Imaging Experiments
Unlike a typical homework set, these simulators provide students with an understanding of the functional relationship of variables in a continuous and efficient way.
2pAO6 – Listening to Hydrothermal Vents
Passive acoustics provides a sustained hydrothermal vents monitoring method from a safe distance.
2pPPa1 – Flying bats modify their biosonar sounds to avoid interference from other bats
When other flying bats are present, bats face the added challenge of separating out the echoes from their own broadcasts from other bats’
