one of the nondestructive methods for assessing the internal quality of some fruits is the processing and analyzing the sound signals generated by an impact on the fruit. in this regard determining the location and the suitable impact levels for a certain fruit is required. in this study, the selected crimson sweet variety of watermelon was used for the acoustic tests by imposing the impact for...

the present study provides an analysis of the correlation between acoustic properties, duration and pitch amplitude of speech associated with three basic emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference, emotionally expressed by six persian speakers. rise/fall connection model (taylor, 1995) is used to analyze acoustic parameters and measure how an utterance is modulated when ...

In this paper, the acoustic environment in a vehicle cabin under the influence of highfrequencies aerodynamic sources has been studied. Some panels on the windshield, the roof, the doors, the front pillars, and the floor of a vehicle simulated as input source of noise when the car is moving at high speed, i.e. 112 km/h. The status of vehicle cabin in each of these modes has been studied and com...

The quality of the communication between teachers and students and ultimately, of classroom education itself, is closely linked to the acoustic quality of the auditorium. This acoustic quality can be characterized based on the reverberation time (RT), speech transmission index (STI) and the sound insulation. In this context, an acoustic study was conducted in an auditorium located in the Higher...

Thermocline layer have remarkable effects on acoustic propagation in Persian Gulf environment. So far, no comprehensive research has been conducted to explore thermocline layer, especially its characteristics including top, thickness, and thermal gradient of thermocline in Persian Gulf. Besides, effects of thermocline on underwater acoustic propagation including transmission loss and sound chan...

this paper examines the stylistics of the ‘arafa supplication in terms of their acoustic and phonetic levels. this supplication has a unique and consistent texture. the acoustic features of the words and sentences and the repetition of some sounds, words and phrases and acoustic syllables, as well as literary devices such as rhyme and paronomasia tend to increase the rhythm of speech. in fact, ...

acoustic experimental data of irib (islamic republic of iran broadcasting) server room was taken to measure the acoustic noise characteristics of frequency and sound pressure level (spl). the purposes of this paper are measuring the noise pollution and its evaluation through the regulations. the measurements were taken in two stages. the first one was taken at 10 points by sound investigator 22...
