Sentences were reduced to an array of sixteen effectively rectangular bands (RBs) having center frequencies ranging from 0.25 to 8 kHz spaced at 1⁄3-octave intervals. Four arrays were employed, each having uniform subcritical bandwidths which ranged from 40 Hz to 5 Hz. The 40 Hz width array had intelligibility near ceiling, and the 5 Hz array about 1%. The finding of interest was that when the ...

The stable operation of a variable frequency pump is great importance to the management water supply project. Analyzing performance based on monitoring data necessary for maintaining pump. Several sensors are installed at six points collect signals including vibration velocity, acceleration and displacement. Monitoring preprocessed by smoothing, adjusting waveform trend filtering basis Fast Fou...

introduction: researchers have long been interested in the effects of low intensity (less than 500 microtesla) and extremely low frequency magnetic fields (elf-mf, less than 300 hz) on human’s brain activity. in this study, our purpose was to analyze the effect of local magnetic field pulses around brain regions cz, c3, c4 on human electroencephalogram (eeg) and induction of resonance effect fo...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to investigate, in hearing-impaired participants who could not hear the stimuli, the possibility of artifactual auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) when stimuli are presented at high intensities. DESIGN ASSRs to single (60 dB HL) and multiple (20 to 50 dB HL; 500 to 4000 Hz) bone-conduction stimuli as well as single 114 to 120 dB HL air-conduction stim...

The Charité(®) lumbar intervertebral disc replacement was subjected to wear testing in an electro-mechanical spine simulator. Sinusoidally varying compression (0.6-2 kN, frequency 2 Hz), rotation (±2°, frequency 1 Hz), flexion-extension (6° to -3°, frequency 1 Hz) and lateral bending (±2°, frequency 1 Hz) were applied out of phase to specimens immersed in diluted calf serum at 37 °C. The mass o...

Aim—To investigate whether uncomplicated chronic coronary artery disease causes changes in heart rate variability and if so, whether the heart rate variability pattern is diVerent from that described in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods—Heart rate variability was studied in 65 patients with angina who had no previous myocardial infarcts, no other diseases, and were on no drug t...

We use femtosecond laser frequency combs to convert optical frequency references to the microwave domain, where we demonstrate the synthesis of 10-GHz signals having a fractional frequency instability of < or =3.5 x 10(-15) at a 1-s averaging time, limited by the optical reference. The residual instability and phase noise of the femtosecond-laser-based frequency synthesizers are 6.5 x 10(-16) a...
