Ten - Minute Exposures to Continuous Tones in Water
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four divers were exposed successively for ten minute periods to pure tones of 5600, 1400, and 700 hertz (Hz) (in that order) in air at 100 decibels above 20 raicropascal and in water at various sound pressure levels between 125 and 150 decibels above 20 micropascal. Divers incurred moderate temporary auditory-threshold shifts (TTS) from all exposures. Equivalent amounts of TTS are produced in water as in air by the same sound intensity levels (SIL) at 700 Hz, by 5 to 15 dB greater SIL in water at 1400 Hz, and by smaller SILs in water at 5600 Hz.

متن کاملInduced by Twenty - Five - Minute Continuous Exposures to Intense Tones in Water
Four bare-headed divers were exposed for twenty-fiv.. .minutes to continuous tones in water at frequencies of 700,'1400, and 5600 hertz at estimated sound pressure levels between 153 and 165 decibels (cß) above 20 micropascal. Subsequent analyses revealed that the eight ears involved were actually exposed to average sound pressure levels between 143.1 and 165.1 dB. These exposure levels are com...

Six men were subjected to 3500 Hertz pure tones of 1250 millisecond pulse length repeated every 2. 5 seconds for a period of 15 minutes at Sound Pressure Levels of 168 and 178 decibels re .0002 dynes per square centimeter. Temporary Threshold Shifts were measured and compared to temporary threshold shifts induced by similar exposures at lower levels in air in a second group of five men. It was ...

متن کاملThe Effect of Length of Pre-task Planning Time on Discourse-analytic Measures and Analytic Ratings in L2 Written Narratives
The favorable gains gleaned from the provision of pre-task planning time (PTP) have struck a chord with SLA researchers as they try to manipulate task features to promote language production and development. In a similar vein, the present study is a two-fold attempt to first compare the effect of the length of pre-task planning time on discourse-analytic measures in narrative written production...
