Score and audio files are the two most important ways to represent, convey, record, store, and experience music. While score describes a piece of music on an abstract level using symbols such as notes, keys, and measures, audio files allow for reproducing a specific acoustic realization of the piece. Each of these representations reflects different facets of music yielding insights into aspects...

introduction: the improvement of technology has increased noise levels in hospital wards to higher than international standard levels (35-45 db). higher noise levels than the maximum level result in patient’s instability and dissatisfaction. moreover, it will have serious negative effects on the staff’s health and the quality of their services. the purpose of this survey is to analyze the level...

in the present work, the influence of aging temperature on mechanical properties and sound velocity of maraging steel m350 was investigated. for this purpose, first, samples were solution annealed at 825◦c for 2 hours and then age hardened at 510◦c-600◦c for 3 hours. hardness, tensile and impact tests were used for determining mechanical properties and longitudinal ultrasonic velocity was used ...

Social judgments are made on the basis of both visual and auditory information, with consequential implications for our decisions. To examine the impact of visual information on expert judgment and its predictive validity for performance outcomes, this set of seven experiments in the domain of music offers a conservative test of the relative influence of vision versus audition. People consisten...

conclusions according to the results of this study, with increasing load of traffic, there is an increasing need for proper consideration plans to control noise pollution and prevent its effects. results according to the research findings, the equivalent sound pressure levels in all stations were 76.28 ± 3.12 db (mean ± sd). according to sound measurements and the survey questionnaire, noise po...

Recent technological advances now make possible the full integration of sound in instructional software. Sounds may gain and focus learner attention, reduce distracting stimuli, and make learning more engaging. In addition, they may help learners condense, elaborate on, and organize details, highlighting interconnections among new pieces of information and making connections to preexisting know...
