Audio mixing is the adjustment of relative volumes, panning and other parameters corresponding to different sound sources, in order to create a technically and aesthetically adequate sound sum. To do this, audio engineers employ “panpots” and faders, the standard controls in audio mixers. The design of such devices has remained practically unchanged for decades since their introduction. At the ...

Understanding mixing times for transient pollutants in mechanically ventilated rooms is important for resilience and safety planning for accidental releases of toxic material. There is a lack of information on the ability of simple models available to predict these times for ventilated spaces with different geometries and ventilation configurations. Three analytical mixing time models, includin...

Author bios: Paul Marshall is a lecturer in interaction design at University College London. His research interests centre on the concept of embodied interaction and how it can be applied to the design and evaluation of technologies that extend and augment individual human capabilities. This has included work on physical interaction and tangible interfaces; on technologies for face-to-face coll...

Assuming the existence of one light sterile neutrino, we investigate the neutrino flavor mixing matrix in matter. Sum rules between the mixing parameters in vacuum and their counterparts in matter are derived. By using these new sum rules, we obtain the simple but exact expressions of the effective flavor mixing matrix in matter in terms of neutrino masses and the mixing parameters in vacuum. T...

In this paper independency and symmetric tests for Marshall-Olkin (M-O) bivariate exponential model (BVEM) were interested. Tests have been conducted through optimizing the posterior modes of parameters of M-O BVEM. Simulation study has given as evidence to support our computations.

While continuous powder mixing has been an area of active research in recent years, effects of operating conditions on the mixing performance has not been well understood yet. Based on our previously developed periodic section modeling (Gao et al., 2012), this paper examines the effects of operating conditions on two significant parameters of the continuous blending processes: axial velocity an...

A generating equation for the mixing rules of interatomic potential energy parameters is proposed. It is demonstrated that this equation can, indeed, reproduce many popular mixing rules. A weighting matrix is used with the generating equation. This weighting matrix approach is superior to the present status of mixing rule development. A systematic framework is given for devising new mixing rule...

The chaotic mixing in a drop moving through a winding channel is studied computationally in a two-dimensional setting. The molecular mixing is ignored and only the mixing due to the chaotic advection is considered. Passive tracer particles are used to visualize the mixing patterns and mixing is quantified by two distinct methods. It is found that both the quantification methods are consistent w...
