Vuvuzela sound measurements.
One commercial vuvuzela was used in the recording of sound levels at 4 different positions: (i) at the ear of the person blowing the vuvuzela; (ii) at the bell end; (iii) 1 m from the bell end; and (iv) 2 m from the bell end. All measurements were made approximately 1.6 m from the ground, in an openair setting. Sound levels were measured twice at a single instance while the vuvuzela was being b...
متن کاملPropagation of Respiratory Aerosols by the Vuvuzela
Vuvuzelas, the plastic blowing horns used by sports fans, recently achieved international recognition during the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament in South Africa. We hypothesised that vuvuzelas might facilitate the generation and dissemination of respiratory aerosols. To investigate the quantity and size of aerosols emitted when the instrument is played, eight healthy volunteers were asked to b...
متن کاملVuvuzela: scalable private messaging resistant to traffic analysis Citation
Private messaging over the Internet has proven challenging to implement, because even if message data is encrypted, it is difficult to hide metadata about who is communicating in the face of traffic analysis. Systems that offer strong privacy guarantees, such as Dissent [36], scale to only several thousand clients, because they use techniques with superlinear cost in the number of clients (e.g....
متن کاملHonk if you like minorities: Vuvuzela attitudes predict outgroup liking
The 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa generated extensive controversy over spectators’ use of the African vuvuzela trumpet. We asked 123 White American participants about their opinions of vuvuzelas as well as their attitudes towards a variety of racial/ethnic minority groups including immigrants, African Americans, and Latinos. We found that the less participants liked vuvuzelas, the less po...
متن کاملAre Lebed's Magic Angles Truly Magic?
We report high-resolution angle-dependent measurements of the Periodic Orbit Resonance (POR) effect in (TMTSF):CI04. We observe additional harmonic resonances that were not observed in previous studies. By measuring over a broad range of frequency, field, and field orientation, we find that all of the POR evolve from the Lebed magic angles observed in dc (co = O) AMRO measurements. However, we ...
