Tuning the Nigerian slit gong.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experimental and theoretical investigation of the Nigerian slit gong is reported. It is shown that in tuning the gong the artisan ensures that the frequencies of the two lowest mechanical resonances are nearly coincident with the frequencies of two of the acoustic resonances of the internal cavity. Four possible tuning parameters are identified and the effects of changing these parameters are discussed.

Phthiriasis palpebrarum is an infestation of the eyelashes caused by the louse Pthirus pubis (Linnaeus, 1758). We report a case of phthiriasis palpebrarum in a 6-year-old girl, which was initially misdiagnosed as allergic blepharoconjunctivitis. Parasites and their nits were found adhering to the eyelashes and eyelids of her right eye as well as scalp hairs. No abnormality was found in the left...
متن کاملA study on differentiation of extra-cardiac activity by Slit Slat collimation in Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography
Introduction: Myocardial perfusion SPECTby 99mTc-Sestamibi and 99mTc-Tetrofosmin radiopharmaceuticals usually presents a false significant increase in the radiotracer uptake in the inferior myocardium due to the uptake in organs such as liver, bowel, stomach and biliary system. The present study evaluated a suitable Slit angle for differentiating extra-car...
متن کاملDouble-slit interference of biphotons generated in spontaneous parametric downconversion from a thick crystal
In this paper we investigate the fourth-order coherence of biphoton beams from spontaneous parametric downconversion resulting from a nonlinear crystal as exemplified in a double-slit interference configuration where the signal and idler beams both pass through the same double slits. We find that the angle of the crystal optical axis and the crystal length are important factors, along with the ...
