Sound Bites Versus Sound Thinking

Thinking about Sound in Mobile Multimedia

In a series of studies, David Frohlich' has shown that sound can do many things in relation to pictures. For instance, if one shoots a blurry image, sound can "save" them by making them still interesting enough to be shared later in photo-talk. There are few existing studies on sound in mobile multimedia, but they suggest that in the future, we must pay attention not just to the fact that camer...

first method, samples are collected and the concentration of DON or individual DON components are monitored over time. To measure DON flux rates using 15N tracer techniques. all of the DIN forms (N~ + , NO3 -.and NO2 -) must be removed, and the DON pool must be isolated with a high efficiency. At present. there are three basic approaches used to isolate DON-wet chemistry, ion retardation, and d...

Sound quality in offices - quietness versus privacy

In Germany, the noise in offices in which mentally demanding tasks are performed, must not exceed an A-weighted energyequivalent level of 55 dB(A). In the framework of a larger study, the noise climate in a number of open plan offices has been investigated. It was found that open plan offices which are rated “quiet” show on the average a percentile loudness of N5 = 5soneGD corresponding to pink...

Synthesized size-sound sound-symbolism

Studies of sound symbolism have shown that people can associate sound and meaning in consistent ways when presented with maximally contrastive stimulus pairs of nonwords such as bouba/kiki (rounded/sharp) or mil/mal (small/big). Recent work has shown the effect extends to antonymic words from natural languages and has proposed a role for shared cross-modal correspondences in biasing formto-mean...
