Theoretical and empirical evidence are combined to show that underwater acoustic sensing techniques may be valuable for measuring the wind speed and determining the destructive power of a hurricane. This is done by first developing a model for the acoustic intensity and mutual intensity in an ocean waveguide due to a hurricane and then determining the relationship between local wind speed and u...

language users benefit from special phonetic tools in order to communicate linguistic information as well as different emotional aspects and paralinguistic information through daily conversation. having functions in conveying semantic information to listeners, prosodic features form the essential part of linguistic behavour, manipulating  them potentially can play an important role in transmitt...

Prediction of radiated sound from vibrating structures is required for structural design optimization and effective noise control. Techniques to predict the surface contributions to the radiated sound from a vibrating structure include the supersonic acoustic intensity, the surface contribution method and near-field acoustic holography. Near-field acoustic holography is an experimental methodol...
