Spatial Sound in a 3D Virtual Environment: All Bark and No Bite? [PDF]
Big Data and Cognitive Computing, 2021 Although the focus of Virtual Reality (VR) lies predominantly on the visual world, acoustic components enhance the functionality of a 3D environment. To study the interaction between visual and auditory modalities in a 3D environment, we investigated the

Sound absorption by tree bark [PDF]
Applied Acoustics, 2020 Abstract Scattering of sound waves by trunks is a main physical factor leading to sound pressure level reduction by tree belts, and it has been shown before that the absorbing properties of the trunks are relevant in this respect. However, detailed information on bark absorption is currently very scarce.

Repeated measures of decaying wood reveal the success and influence of fungal wood endophytes [PDF]
mSystemsPredicting wood decomposition is challenging due to complex successional dynamics among decomposers that colonize and defend wood territory. This starts with saprotrophic fungi that reside latently in healthy wood until trees senesce, but these ...

Spectral Moments of Fricative Consonants in Serbian (an Account of Female Speakers’ Production) [PDF]
Filolog, 2020 This paper deals with the measurement of spectral moments of Serbian fricatives. The four spectral moments: centre of gravity, spectral variance, skewness, and kurtosis were measured at the onset of the fricative, on the stable-state part and at the ...
