The detection and classification of engine-based moving objects in restricted scenes from acoustic signals allow better Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)-specific intelligent systems audio-based surveillance systems. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) provide wide coverage the field analysis due to their effectiveness widespread practical applications. In this work, we propose study SimpleRNN, LSTM, B...

background: in the field of education, a great deal of quality improvement is remained to be achieved. assessment of educational courses appears to be necessary jor quality improvement in all curriculums, therefore studies for assessment of educational outcomes and impacts are of high priority. in a dentistry faculty, the mouth and dental health acre among dentistry students can be considered a...

background: one of the most widely used equipments in harvesting hay and grains are four wheel mowers. the aim of the present study was to determine the levels of noise exposure in drivers and bystanders in different states, speeds and gear of four wheel mowers (bcs model 622).   methods: the iso 5131 and iso 6814 standards were used to assess noise exposure in drivers and bystanders, respectiv...

An Audio Secret Sharing (ASS) scheme is a special type of secret sharing scheme [3], which the shares of embedded messages use music as cover sound. Desmedt et al. firstly introduced the (2, 2) ASS scheme with one cover sound and also the generalized (2, n) ASS scheme with log2n different cover sounds. No only will more cover sounds overburden the human hearing system but also may become diff...

This paper presents a new fast sound synthesis method using polynomials. This is an additive method, where polynomials are used to approximate sine functions. Traditional additive synthesis requires each sample to be generated for each partial oscillator. Then all these partial samples are summed up to obtain the resulting sound sample, thus making the synthesis time proportional to the product...

With the rapid progress of computers, wave-based room acoustics simulations like finite element method have come to be applicable onto many practical problems on acoustics. Generally, such methods can calculate sound fields quite accurately provided their boundary modelings are given appropriately. Although the absorption on the boundary can be modeled efficiently by using surface impedance, th...

Sudden sensorineural hearing loss is characterized by acute, idiopathic hearing deterioration. We report here the development and evaluation of "constraint-induced sound therapy", which is based on a well-established neuro-rehabilitation approach, and which is characterized by the plugging of the intact ear ("constraint") and the simultaneous, extensive stimulation of the affected ear with musi...

Recently, a Neumann series based numerical method is developed for photoacoustic tomography in a paper by Qian, Stefanov, Uhlmann, and Zhao [An efficient neumann series-based algorithm for thermoacoustic and photoacoustic tomography with variable sound speed. SIAM J. Imag. Sci., 4:850–883, 2011]. It is an efficient and convergent numerical scheme that recovers the initial condition of an acoust...
