Artificial reverberation is an important music production tool with a strong but poorly understood perceptual impact. A literature review of the relevant works concerned with the perception of musical reverberation is provided, and the use of artificial reverberation in multisource mixes is studied. The perceived amount of total artificial reverberation in a mixture is predicted using relative ...

We demonstrate broadband frequency comb generation in the mid-infrared (MIR) from 2.3 to 3.5 μm in a Si(3)N(4) microresonator. We engineer the dispersion of the structure in the MIR using a Sellmeier equation we derive from experimental measurements performed on Si(3)N(4) films from the UV to the IR. We use deposition-anneal cycling to decrease absorption losses due to vibrational transitions i...

The number of segregating sites in a sample of DNA sequences and the age of the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of the sequences in the sample are positively correlated. The value of the former can be used to estimate the value of the latter. Using the coalescent approach, we derive in this paper the joint probability distribution of the number of segregating sites and the age of the MRCA of...

The fall velocity of sediment particles plays a key role in sediment transport studies. Researchers have attempted to determine the terminal fall velocity, and most of the studies in this regard have been based on experimental, quasi-experimental, and in-situ measurements. The present study aimed to use a numerical model to estimate the fall velocity of a single sediment particle in distilled a...

The uplift of the southern African Plateau with its average elevations ?1,000 m is often attributed to mantle processes, but there are conflicting theories for timing and drivers topographic development. Evidence most proposed plateau development histories derived from continental erosion histories, marine stratigraphic architecture, or landscape morphology. Here we use a evolution model integr...

The semileptonic CP asymmetry in B-B̄ mixing, asl, is measured in proton-proton collision data, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 3.0 fb−1, recorded by the LHCb experiment. Semileptonic B decays are reconstructed in the inclusive final states D−μþ and D −μþ, where the D− meson decays into theKþπ−π− final state and theD − meson into the D̄0ð→ Kþπ−Þπ− final state. The asymmetry between t...
