In recent years, extensive work has been done on spatial sound reproduction techniques involving multiple loudspeakers. Techniques like wavefield synthesis or crosstalk cancellation aim to simulate the soundfield at the listener’s ear for sounds from different directions. In the simple approach of amplitude panning sounds are played simultaneously from two loudspeakers while variations in level...

BACKGROUND Phage-display panning is an integral part of biomedical research. Regular panning methods are sometimes complicated by inefficient detachment of the captured phages from the antigen-coated solid supports, which prompted us to modify. Here, we produce an efficient antigen-specific single chain fragment variable (scFv) antibody by using a target-related molecule that favored selection ...

Pruning on neural networks before training not only compresses the original models, but also accelerates network phase, which has substantial application value. The current work focuses fine-grained pruning, uses metrics to calculate weight scores for screening, and extends from initial single-order pruning iterative pruning. Through these works, we argue that can be summarized as an expressive...

The perceived spatial spread of amplitude panned virtual sources is dependent on the number of loudspeakers that are used to produce them. When pair-wise or triplet-wise panning is applied, the number of active loudspeakers varies as a function of the panning direction. This may cause unwanted changes in spatial spread and coloration of a virtual source if it is moved in the sound stage. In thi...

New studies suggesting that humans and chimpanzees deserve to share the same genus may do little to improve the parlous status of our relatives in their home environment.

In Ambisonics sound is encoded and stored in multichannel sound files and is decoded for playback. In the enand decoding process complicated functions are used. In this paper panning functions equivalent to the result of enand decoding are presented which can be used for real-time panning in an arbitrary high ambisonic order. In the function equivalent to the socalled in-phase decoding the orde...

Screening phage-displayed peptide libraries (biopanning) is an important technique for acquiring peptide ligands and for mapping peptide epitopes recognized by antibodies (Ab). In biological samples, other materials, not only contaminants but also natural constituents, often interfere with biopanning. Capture methods use anchoring Abs that reduce the need for purification of the intended pannin...

In this paper we describe a frequency-domain framework for source identification, separation and manipulation in stereo music recordings. Based on a simplified model of the stereo mix, we describe how a similarity measure between the Short-Time Fourier Transforms (STFT) of the input signals is used to identify time-frequency regions occupied by each source based on the panning coefficient assig...
