It could be said that Acoustics forms a bridge between speech production and speech perception, and as such it lies at the intersection of several speech communication related fields. The field of Speech and Hearing Sciences, for example, deals with speech production and speech perception. Speech Pathology also relates crucially to Acoustics. In addition, the linguistic fields of Phonetics and ...

Ambisonic impulse responses (also known as the Spatial Impulse Responses) are getting more and more popular in many applications of room acoustics. Measuring, modeling, synthesizing, or simulating acoustics of interiors with emphasize on their spatial features are the examples. The present article shows a methodology of room acoustics auralization assessment using the ambisonics technology. A c...

Abstract Timbre, as one of the essential elements sound, plays an important role in determining sound properties, whereas its manipulation has been remaining challenging for passive mechanical systems due to intrinsic dispersion nature resonances. Here, we present a meta-silencer supporting intensive mode density well highly tunable loss and offering fresh pathway designable timbre broadband. S...

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the relation between speech acoustics and the 2D video signal of the facial motion that occurs simultaneously. 2D facial motion is acquired using an ordinary video camera: after digitizing a video sequence, a search algorithm is used for tracking markers painted on the speaker’s face. Facial motion is represented by the 2D marker trajectories; wher...

This study has introduced the Art in a new vision to increase the understanding of Saudi Art at the International level. The focus was on architecture patterns (in Al_Haram Al_Madini) and literature (poems, speeches). It is achieved through introducing the Art through the eyes of symmetry as new concept embedded in the art. The aims of the study are: 1. to explore the characteristics of Saudi A...

Choir acoustics is but one facet of choir-related research, yet it is one of the most tangible. Several aspects of sound can be measured objectively, and such results can be related to known properties of voices, rooms, ears and musical scores. What follows is essentially an update of the literature overview in my Ph.D. dissertation from 1989 of empirical investigations known to me that deal sp...

Finite element approximations of the first-order hyperbolic equation U • Vu + au = / are considered on curved domains £2 C K2 . When part of the boundary of Í2 is characteristic, the boundary of numerical domain, Í2A , may become either an inflow or outflow boundary, so it is necessary to select an algorithm that will accommodate this ambiguity. This problem was motivated by a problem in acoust...

İstanbul’s Hagia Sophia is a monumental structure with multiple sub-spaces coupled to one another through arches. Its architectural elements have undergone alterations as its function has changed from that of church mosque, mosque museum, and back mosque. This study makes use Sophia’s rich formal material characteristics conduct comprehensive investigation room acoustics coupling. The methodolo...
