3aUWa6 – Inversion of geo-acoustic parameters from sound attenuation measurements in the presence of swim bladder bearing
Swim bladder bearing fish resonate at frequencies controlled by the dimensions of their swim bladders.
3aPA7 – Moving and sorting living cells with sound and light
it is easy to force cells or particles to create large clusters or aggregates than can be kept in acoustic levitation as long as the ultrasonic field is on.
1pEAa5 – A study on a friendly automobile klaxon production with rhythm
Impulse noises, like those experienced from honking traffic horns can lead to emotional dysregulation or emotional hyperactivity of the driver and potentially cause an accident.
3aPA3 – Standing Surface Acoustic Wave Enabled Acoustofluidics for Bioparticle Manipulation
Researchers have developed a series of acoustic-based, on-chip device called acoustic tweezers
2pBA2 – Medical ultrasound imaging for the detection of netrin-1 in breast cancer
Netrin-1 is a tumor-stimulating molecule which was discovered to contribute to tumor growth in different types of cancer, including 60% of metastatic breast cancer
3aPPa3 – When cognitive demand increases, does the right ear have an advantage?
Based on the anatomical model of auditory processing, the right ear has a slight advantage, compared with the left ear, on dichotic listening tasks
2pBA3 – Semi-Automated Smart Detection of Prostate Cancer using Machine Learning and a Novel Near-Microscopic Imaging Platform
Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of male cancer-related death in the U.S. with approximately 1 in 7 men being diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime
1pAO9 – The Acoustic Properties of Crude Oil
To study crude oil acoustically, we need to better understand the physical properties that affect its acoustic impedance.
4pSC11 – The role of familiarity in audiovisual speech perception
Although understanding content does not require identifying a specific speaker’s voice, familiarity with a speaker has been shown to facilitate speech perception
4aPP4 – Listener’s body rotation and sound duration improve sound localization accuracy or not?
Researchers used a digitally controlled spinning chair to assess the effects of a listener’s whole-body rotation and sound duration on horizontal sound localization accuracy.
1pSP10 – Design of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based on Acoustic Navigation Algorithm
Acoustic UAV guidance is an enabling technology for future urban UAV transportation systems.
1pEAa2 – Rotor noise control using 3D-printed porous materials
Perhaps the most challenging type of rotor noise to control is turbulent trailing edge noise.
3aPPb7 – Influence of Age and Instrumental-Musical Training on Pitch Memory in Children and Adults
The purpose of this project was to determine the contributions of musical training and age to refinement of pitch processing beyond this critical period.
3aAB8 – Sea turtles are silent… until there is something important to communicate: first sound recording of a sea turtle
Although sea turtles distribute worldwide in the oceans, there seems to be no recordings of sounds produced by them, perhaps until now.
3pIDa1 – Hydronephones: Acoustic Receivers on Unmanned Underwater Vehicles
Hydronephones are underwater vehicles, or underwater drones, equipped with hydrophones, or underwater microphones, which receive and record sound underwater.
4aAB4 – Analysis of bats’ gaze and flight control based on the estimation of their echolocated points with time-domain acoustic simulation
Researchers simulated the echolocation arriving at the bats during obstacle-avoiding flight based on the behavioral data.
2aEA6 – Carbon Nanotube Speakers – Future of Transparent and Lightweight Solid-State Speakers
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are carbon nano-structures which when stretched form extremely lightweight, flexible films.
1pEAa4 – How does the stethoscope actually work?
Acoustic stethoscope, invented over 200 years ago by French physician, Rene Laennec, is the most commonly used medical diagnostic device and also the symbol of medical professionals.
3aAA1 – Are restaurants and bars in New York City too loud?
This is the first exploratory study to capture, on a large scale and on a continuing basis, the average sound levels of restaurants and bars.
