Noise-Canceling Office Chair with Multiple Reference Microphones

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2018
Office employees are exposed to acoustic noise, especially in an open office environment. Passive or active headsets sufficiently reduce the level of noise, but their long-time wear is uncomfortable.

An evaluation of intrusive instrumental intelligibility metrics

open access: yes, 2018
Instrumental intelligibility metrics are commonly used as an alternative to listening tests. This paper evaluates 12 monaural intrusive intelligibility metrics: SII, HEGP, CSII, HASPI, NCM, QSTI, STOI, ESTOI, MIKNN, SIMI, SIIB, and $\text{sEPSM}^\text ...

Exploiting the Functionality of Cerium Oxide‐Modified Carbon Nanohorns Catalysts Toward Enhanced CO2 Reduction Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A cerium oxide‐carbon nanohybrid catalyst is synthesized via two distinct routes and is integrated into H‐type cells and gas diffusion layers (GDLs) to enhance electrochemical performance. Structural variations significantly affect performance, with the solvothermal sample exhibiting higher current densities.

Awake Reactivation of Prior Experiences Consolidates Memories and Biases Cognition. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
After experiences are encoded into memory, post-encoding reactivation mechanisms have been proposed to mediate long-term memory stabilization and transformation.

Polaronic and Electrochemical Signatures in Group IVB (Ti, Zr, Hf) Oxides: Unified SKP–DFT Insights for Tunable Transport in Energy and Electronic Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Charge carrier concentration and mobility in TiO2, ZrO2, and HfO2 powder films are experimentally mapped as a function of temperature. The results uncover polaron‐mediated transport regimes and field‐activated conduction, enabling the design of oxide‐based electronic and energy devices with thermally tunable functionality.

Experimental Study on Use of Sound Absorption Treatment for Reduction of Environmental Sound Propagation and Reverberation in Staircases: A Case Study in Housing

open access: yesBuildings, 2017
In recent years, many open-plan houses have been proposed not only for comfort reasons, but also as a place to engage in family life. However, in contrast to the fact that this kind of plan makes it easy for people to interact, the daily life household ...

Structured Sparsity Models for Multiparty Speech Recovery from Reverberant Recordings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We tackle the multi-party speech recovery problem through modeling the acoustic of the reverberant chambers. Our approach exploits structured sparsity models to perform room modeling and speech recovery.

Molecular environment, reverberation, and radiation from the pulsar wind nebula in CTA 1

open access: yes, 2016
We estimate the molecular mass around CTA 1 using data from Planck and the Harvard CO survey. We observe that the molecular mass in the vicinity of the complex is not enough to explain the TeV emission observed by VERITAS, even under favorable ...

Magnetic‐Field Dependent VB− Spin Decoherence in Hexagonal Boron Nitrides: A First‐Principles Study

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study investigates the decoherence of the VB− defect in h‐BN under external magnetic fields using first‐principles quantum many‐body simulations. A transition boundary distinguishing distinct decoherence regimes is identified, with its dependence on isotopic composition.
