Active Shielding and Control of Environmental Noise
We present a mathematical framework for the active control of time-harmonic acoustic disturbances. Unlike many existing methodologies, our approach provides for the exact volumetric cancellation of unwanted noise in a given predetermined region of space while leaving unaltered those components of the total acoustic field that are deemed as friendly. Our key finding is that for eliminating the u...
متن کاملWatershed Algorithms and Contrast Preservation
This paper is devoted to the study of watershed algorithms behavior. Through the introduction of a concept of pass value, we show that most classical watershed algorithms do not allow the retrieval of some important topological features of the image (in particular, saddle points are not correctly computed). An important consequence of this result is that it is not possible to compute sound meas...
متن کاملAnimal Beauty, Ethics, and Environmental Preservation
Animal beauty provides a significant aesthetic reason for protecting nature. Worries about aesthetic discrimination and the ugliness of predation might make one think otherwise. Although it has been argued that aesthetic merit is a trivial and morally objectionable basis for action, beauty is an important value and a legitimate basis for differential treatment, especially in the case of animals...
متن کاملPhonetic imitation is not conditioned by preservation of phonological contrast but by perceptual salience
This study addresses disagreement between previous studies about the hypothesis that phonetic imitation does not occur if it would threaten a phonological contrast. Using a within-subject pretest-shadowingposttest design, we tested imitability of reduction and extension of prevoicing and vowel duration in Czech, a vowel-quantity language with prevoicedvs-unaspirated stop contrasts. Results show...
متن کامل/ti/~/tSi/ CONTRAST PRESERVATION IN JAPANESE LOANS IS PARASITIC ON SEGMENTAL CUES TO PROSODIC STRUCTURE
Acoustic analysis of [tSi] tokens produced in native words by two generations of Japanese speakers reveals a systematic influence of prosodic structure on the duration of frication following the release of consonant closure. This phonetic gradience supports a phonological contrast in loanwords that is absent from the native system. Implications of the data for phonological theories of loanword ...
