Pierre Schaeffer’s theory of sound objects is a milestone in the historical development of electronic music. The TARTYP plays a central role in this theory. The TARTYP, however, is not widely accepted as a practical tool for musical analysis and composition, in part due to the large number of confusing and vague terms it introduces. This paper suggests a focus on Schaeffer’s sound recordings th...

Background: According to the important role of Health Care Apprentice Program on medical students’ performance, especially in relation with Social Accountability of Medical Education, it is attempted to assess efficacy of Health Care Apprentice Program on the level of medical students’ knowledge and skills in the context of Primary Health Care at Babol University of Medial Sciences    Methods: ...

A real-time physically-derived sound synthesis model is presented that replicates the sounds generated as an object swings through the air. Equations obtained from fluid dynamics are used to determine the sounds generated while exposing practical parameters for a user or game engine to vary. Listening tests reveal that for the majority of objects modelled, participants rated the sounds from our...

Sound field reconstruction using the least-square method is employed in sound reinforcement applications to achieve uniform sound pressure level (SPL) over audience area in this study. A practical problem that the radiated sound energy decline in audience area appears at low frequencies with conventional least-square method. An approach based on energy contrast control is devised to solve this ...

We developed a mixed reality (MR) system which merges the real and the virtual worlds in both audio and visual senses. Our new approach “RealSound Interaction” is based on the idea that the sound events in the real world can work as interaction devices with an MR space. Firstly, we developed a sound detection system which localizes a sound source. The system consisted of two types of microphone...

Sound measured at various points around the environment can be evaluated by a series of multi-pole sources and their acoustic strength can be acquired. In this numerical study, a method, called the inverse method, was examined to achieve this goal. A variety of arrangements of different sources were considered and the acoustic strength of these sources was acquired. Through the application of t...
