Horizontal Correlation of Long-Range Bottom Reverberation in Shallow Sloping Seabed
The performance of active sonar detection systems is seriously affected by the reverberation at the bottom of the waveguide in shallow water. In order to improve the performance of active sonar detection, it is necessary to understand the horizontal ...

Noise-robust blind reverberation time estimation using noise-aware time-frequency masking [PDF]
The reverberation time is one of the most important parameters used to characterize the acoustic property of an enclosure. In real-world scenarios, it is much more convenient to estimate the reverberation time blindly from recorded speech compared to the traditional acoustic measurement techniques using professional measurement instruments.

Frequency-dependence characterization of electromagnetic reverberation in indoor scenarios based on 1-40 GHz channel measurements [PDF]
A novel model for the reverberation time is proposed in this letter, based on room electromagnetics theory. While the commonly used models consider absorption based on a constant rate of wall interactions within a given time, the proposed model takes the

X-Ray/UVOIR Frequency-resolved Time Lag Analysis of Mrk 335 Reveals Accretion Disk Reprocessing
UV and optical continuum reverberation mapping is a powerful tool for probing the accretion disk and inner broad-line region. However, recent reverberation mapping campaigns in the X-ray, UV, and optical have found lags consistently longer than those ...

Wavelet spectral timing: X-ray reverberation from a dynamic black hole corona hidden beneath ultrafast outflows [PDF]
Spectral timing analyses based upon wavelet transforms provide a new means to study the variability of the X-ray emission from accreting systems, including AGN, stellar mass black holes and neutron stars, and can be used to trace the time variability of X-ray reverberation from the inner accretion disc.
