AbstractRecently, we witnessed a tremendous effort to conquer the realm of acoustics as a possible playground to test with topologically protected sound wave propagation. In this article, we review the latest efforts to explore with sound waves topological states of quantum matter in two- and three-dimensional systems where we discuss how spin and ...

Negotiations are a formalism for describing multiparty distributed cooperation. Alternatively, they can be seen as a model of concurrency with synchronized choice as communication primitive. Well-designed negotiations must be sound, meaning that, whatever its current state, the negotiation can still be completed. In earlier work, Esparza and Desel have

The nonscattering of sound by sound [PDF]
A recent claim [D. H. Trivett and P. H. Rogers, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 71, 1114–1117 (1982)] that a cw plane wave is scattered by a pulse is subject to the same criticism [P. J. Westervelt, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 29, 199–203, 934–935 (1957) and M. L. Lighthill, Math. Revs. 19, 915–916 (1958)] leveled at an earlier claim [U. Ingard and D. C. Pridmore-Brown, J.

Shakespeare's Sound Government: Sound Defects, Polyglot Sounds, and Sounding Out
Shakespearean sound effects (or sound defects) depend not only on hearing with the eye (as in Sonnet 23) but also on seeing with the ear, including through the vivid reports of the nuntius or messenger who produces not "ocular proof" but what might be called a (potentially unsound) "evidence effect," turning the ear into a substitute oculus or eye ...

From Sound to Sound Space, Sound Environment, Soundscape, Sound Milieu or Ambiance … [PDF]
This article proposes approaching the phenomenon of sound as a fabric of relationships. Critiquing the notion of a sound object as it has become defined thanks to the fixity enabled by sound recording, it focuses on the characteristics of sound that converge towards a relational approach and suggests that there is an inextricable link between the ...

ON THE SCATTERING OF SOUND BY SOUND
The problem of the non-linear interaction between two fully collimated plane-wave beams travelling in different directions has given rise to much of the controversy to date as to whether the secondary scattered radiation exists outside the interaction region. Ingard et al. expressed the primary beams with a type of discontinuous function ρ={ej(w-ky),|x|

THE SILENCE OF HEALTH “Health is life lived in the silence of the organs” wrote the French surgeon Rene Leriche in 1936, a concept later adopted and further developed by the physician and philosopher Georges Canguilhem (1). Albeit certainly resonant with the experience of health defined as the state of well being perceived by an individual, this ...
