it has been reported previously that modulatory effects of pleasant and unpleasant slides on the human acoustic reflex are observed only if startle probes are presented to the left ear or with binaural presentation. the present study examined the effects of the left and the right ear stimulation on modulated startle reflex (as indexed by eyeblink component, measured at the right eye) employing ...

Acoustic metamaterials are synthetic materials, made of repeating unit cells that designed to address an acoustic problem, through the rational design their micro-features [...]

this paper concerns with the modeling and construction of a fifth order method for two dimensional acoustic wave equation in heterogenous media. the method is based on a standard discretization of the problem on smooth regions and a nonstandard method for nonsmooth regions.the construction of the nonstandard method is based on the special treatment of the interface using suitable jump condition...

The use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientists recently. Since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they can be used in many scientific fields. The main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanisms of sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, p...

This talk focuses on the direct solution of large complex indefinite unsymmetric systems, that arise in acoustic, vibro-acoustic and aero-acoustic simulations. These systems are structurally symmetric and may contain some large dense blocks, e.g. due to the selection of hybrid modal/physical representations in the model. The first part of the talk gives an overview of the experienced MUMPS capa...
