background: noise prediction is considered to be the best method for evaluating cost-preventative noise controls in industrial workrooms. one of the most important issues is the development of accurate models for analysis of the complex relationships among acoustic features affecting noise level in workrooms. in this study, advanced fuzzy approaches were employed to develop relatively accurate ...

biophysical profile (bpp) test is the most commonly used antenatal test of fetal well-being. purpose of this study is determining the influence of acoustic stimulation (as) on bpp testing time. about 55 pregnant women at 35 to 42 weeks who referred to department of obstetric & gynecology at university of medical sciences, tabriz, iran, were selected randomly. we used abdominal ultrasound guidan...

abstract   a cystic acoustic neurinoma almost entirely consists of a cystic component and is a well recognized subtype of acoustic schwannoma. we report a case of a 40-year- old male patient who presented with clinical features of a left cerebello-pontine angle mass lesion and ct scan findings mimicking the diagnosis of an epidermoid cyst. however intraoperative and histopathological findings w...

Speech sound disorders are almost always identified and described by their auditoryperceptual properties, as determined by adult listeners.Given that auditory-perceptual properties are extracted from the acoustic signal of speech, it follows that acoustic methods should be highly suited to the study of these disorders. But the capability for doing something is not the same as the necessity or e...

1 Launch loads, both mechanical and acoustic, are the prime driver of spacecraft structural design. Passive approaches for acoustic attenuation are limited in their low frequency effectiveness by constraints on total fairing mass and payload volume constraints. Active control offers an attractive approach for low frequency acoustic noise attenuation inside the payload fairing. Smart materials s...
