Listening tests were conducted in order to find out the audibility of inharmonicity in musical sounds produced by string instruments, such as the piano or the guitar. The threshold of the audibility of inharmonicity was measured as a function of the inharmonicity coefficient at five fundamental frequencies. It was found that the detection of inharmonicity is strongly dependent on the fundamenta...

We present an assessment of different density functionals, with emphasis on range-separated hybrids, for the prediction of fundamental and harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, and Raman activities. Additionally, we discuss the basis set convergence of vibrational properties of H2O with long-range corrected hybrids. Our results show that B3LYP is the best functional for predic...

The infrared spectra of substituted chalcones and some of their ferrocene analogues were measured in the region of fundamental and first overtone C = 0 stretching bands. The formation of hydrogen bonds between the substituted chalcones and phenol was examined in the O—H stretching region. The frequencies of fundamental and first overtone C = 0 stretching bands for s-cis and s-trans conformers a...

We have examined the frequencies of trapped two-armed (m = 2) nearly vertical oscillations (vertical p-mode) in vertically isothermal disks with toroidal magnetic fields. The magnetic fields are stratified so that the Alfvén speed, cA, is constant in the vertical direction. We have particularly focused our attention on how frequencies of the fundamental mode (nr = 0) and first overtone (nr = 1)...

In this paper we describe a sinusoidal analysis and synthesis framework which uses a novel method of extracting the sinusoidal components and fundamental frequency. This method is based on a mapping from linearly spaced filter centre frequencies to the instantaneous frequencies of the filter outputs. Frequency domain fixed points are obtained from this mapping which result in the extraction of ...

The perceptual grouping of a four-tone cycle was studied as a function of differences in fundamental frequencies and the frequencies of spectral peaks. Each tone had a single formant and at least 13 harmonics. In Experiment 1 the formant was created by filtering a flat spectrum and in Experiment 2 by adding harmonics. Fundamental frequency was found to be capable of controlling grouping even wh...

In this paper, changes in acoustic characteristic of young children speech are investigated as a function of age. We examined fundamental frequency, formant frequencies and vowel durations of ten monophtongal vowels from American-English speaking children, age groups 3 to 6. In this study, we also examined the vowel pronunciation variability of young-aged children. The results show that prescho...

Ship noise received by passive sonar is multiple harmonic sources, from which the recognition features of ship can be extracted. Based on the multiple signal classification estimation theory, a joint estimation method of harmonic sources number, harmonic orders and fundamental frequencies is developed in this paper. The observed signal vector is decomposed into multiple harmonics vector and noi...
