Ambient Sounds in the Woods

چکیده
In this paper we describe research in which we have used sound as part of a mobile multimedia learning experience for children. In this work we have classified sound clips into categories that appear to have differing effectiveness. We have also observed unexpected behaviour by the children indicating that our devices are capable of further development. We propose further research using sound to explore the contribution to learning of environment, content type and interaction mode.

A Whisper in the Woods — an Ambient Soundscape for Peripheral Awareness of Remote Processes
The concept of a weakly intrusive ambient soundscape (WISP) is presented as a means to provide a peripheral awareness of processes beyond a user’s immediate attention. The WISP is a component in a larger environment for ubiquitous computing, centered around a conference room scenario. The experiences from a demonstration prototype indicate that the choice of sounds and the intensity of their pr...
متن کاملAcoustic Tracking of Humpback Whales: Measuring Interactions with the Acoustic Environment
Although there is some knowledge of the characteristics of sounds produced by baleen whales, little is known about the function of these sounds or how these whales interact with their acoustic environment in general. The Humpback whale Acoustic Research Collaboration, or HARC, is a large project that is undertaking a rigorous study of the effects of ambient noise (including conspecific vocalisa...
متن کاملEffects of Nanosilver in Improving Fire-Retarding Properties of Borax in Solid Woods
Effects of heat-transferring property of silver nanoparticles were evaluated on two solid woods of poplar and fir and in combination with Borax. Nanosilver and Borax were applied in pressure vessel using Rueping method. The size range of silver nanoparticles was 20-80 nm. Specimens of 150×130×9 mm were prepared and five fire-retarding properties were measured using a newly designed slide fire t...
متن کاملApply Woods Model in the Predictions of Ambient Air Particles and Metallic Elements (Mn, Fe, Zn, Cr, and Cu) at Industrial, Suburban/Coastal, and Residential Sampling Sites
The main purpose for this study was to monitor ambient air particles and metallic elements (Mn, Fe, Zn, Cr, and Cu) in total suspended particulates (TSPs) concentration, dry deposition at three characteristic sampling sites of central Taiwan. Additionally, the calculated/measured dry deposition flux ratios of ambient air particles and metallic elements were calculated with Woods models at these...
متن کاملGinsburg-Pitaevski-Gross differential equation with the Rosen-Morse and modified Woods-Saxon potentials
In this paper, we consider non-linear Ginsburg-Pitaevski-Gross equation with the Rosen-Morse and modifiedWoods-Saxon potentials which is corresponding to the quantum vortices and has important applications in turbulence theory. We use the Runge- Kutta-Fehlberg approximation method to solve the resulting non-linear equation.
