Classroom acoustics and hearing ability as determinants for perceived social climate and intentions to stay at work

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2013
Background noise and room acoustics may impede social interactions by interfering with oral communication and other cognitive processes. Accordingly, recent research in school environments has showed that social relationships with peers and teachers are ...

Blind Estimation of Speech Transmission Index and Room Acoustic Parameters by Using Extended Model of Room Impulse Response Derived From Speech Signals

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2023
The speech transmission index (STI) and room acoustic parameters (RAPs) are essential metrics for assessing speech quality and predicting listening difficulty in a sound field.

Modeling reverberation mapping data II: dynamical modeling of the Lick AGN Monitoring Project 2008 dataset [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present dynamical modeling of the broad line region (BLR) for a sample of five Seyfert 1 galaxies using reverberation mapping data taken by the Lick AGN Monitoring Project in 2008.

The effect of room acoustics on the sleep quality of healthy sleepers

open access: yesNoise and Health, 2016
Introduction: Noise is one of the factors that can seriously disturb sleep, and sound volume is an important factor in this context. One strategy involves avoiding exposure to sounds in the night, while entail the minimization of background noise in a ...

Linear Frequency Modulated Reverberation Suppression Using Non-Negative Matrix Factorization Methods, Dechirping Transformation and Modulo Operation

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
In this study, we propose a reverberation suppression algorithm for linear frequency-modulated (LFM) pulse sonar systems using a non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) method.

Fast processing models effects of reflections on binaural unmasking

open access: yesActa Acustica, 2023
Sound reflections and late reverberation alter energetic and binaural cues of a target source, thereby affecting its detection in noise. Two experiments investigated detection of harmonic complex tones, centered around 500 Hz, in noise, in a virtual room

AGN Black Hole Masses and Bolometric Luminosities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Black hole mass, along with mass accretion rate, is a fundamental property of active galactic nuclei. Black hole mass sets an approximate upper limit to AGN energetics via the Eddington limit. We collect and compare all AGN black hole mass estimates from

Reverberation suppression algorithm for LS beamforming based on Wiener post-filter

open access: yesDianzi Jishu Yingyong, 2018
Reverberation causes speech signal time and frequency to blur, and speech is difficult to understand when serious. In order to improve the speech quality, this paper presents a least squares beamforming reverberation suppression algorithm with Wiener ...

Augmenting Environmental Interaction in Audio Feedback Systems

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2016
Audio feedback is defined as a positive feedback of acoustic signals where an audio input and output form a loop, and may be utilized artistically. This article presents new context-based controls over audio feedback, leading to the generation of desired
