The Fundamental Planes of Black Hole Activity for Radio-Loud and Radio-Quiet Quasars [PDF]
We examine the fundamental plane of black hole activity for correlations with redshift and radio loudness in both radio-loud and radio-quiet quasar populations. Sources are compiled from archival data of both radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars over redshifts $0.1 < z < 5.0$ to produce a sample of 353 sources with known X-ray, radio, and black hole mass

Frequency-dependent loudness balancing in bimodal cochlear implant users
Conclusion In users of a cochlear implant (CI) and a hearing aid (HA) in contralateral ears, frequency-dependent loudness balancing between devices did, on average, not lead to improved speech understanding as compared to broadband balancing.

On the Radio and Optical Luminosity Evolution of Quasars II - The SDSS Sample [PDF]
We determine the radio and optical luminosity evolutions and the true distribution of the radio loudness parameter R, defined as the ratio of the radio to optical luminosity, for a set of more than 5000 quasars combining SDSS optical and FIRST radio data.

Mapping between dynamic markings and performed loudness: a machine learning approach
Loudness variation is one of the foremost tools for expressivity in music performance. Loudness is frequently notated as dynamic markings such as (piano, meaning soft) or (forte, meaning loud).

Mean and Extreme Radio Properties of Quasars and the Origin of Radio Emission [PDF]
We investigate the evolution of both the radio-loud fraction (RLF) and (using stacking analysis) the mean radio-loudness of quasars. We consider how these values evolve as a function of redshift and luminosity, black hole (BH) mass and accretion rate ...

Why radio quiet quasars are preferred over radio loud quasars regardless of environment and redshift [PDF]
Evidence has accumulated suggesting the clustering of radio loud quasars is greater than for radio quiet quasars. We interpret these results in a context in which the fraction of radio loud quasar formation is less than or equal to that for radio quiet quasars for all environments and redshift.

Achieving across-laboratory replicability in psychophysical scaling
It is well known that, although psychophysical scaling produces good qualitative agreement between experiments, precise quantitative agreement between experimental results, such as that routinely achieved in physics or biology, is rarely or never ...

On the relations among temporal integration for loudness, loudness discrimination, and the form of the loudness function. [PDF]
Temporal integration for loudness was measured as a function of level from 2 to 60 dB SL using 2-, 10-, 50-, and 250-ms tones at 5 kHz. The adaptive 2I,2AFC procedure converged at the level required to make the variable stimulus just louder than the fixed stimulus.

Mental imagery for musical changes in loudness
Musicians imagine music during mental rehearsal, when reading from a score, and while composing. An important characteristic of music is its temporality.
