Cortical and hippocampal gamma oscillations have been implicated in many behavioral tasks. The hippocampus is required for spatial navigation where animals run at varying speeds. Hence we tested the hypothesis that the gamma rhythm could encode the running speed of mice. We found that the amplitude of slow (20-45 Hz) and fast (45-120 Hz) gamma rhythms in the hippocampal local field potential (L...

original article   introduction: wind-turbine noise emission and its environmental impact are considerable issues nowadays. considering the importance of the issue, the purpose of this study was to prepare noise map and wind turbines sound characteristics on the largest wind farm of iran. method: this study was carried out in two phases:1) in order to prepare the daytime sound level (ld) noise ...

this paper presents simplified hydrodynamics model for a biomimetic robot fish based on quantitative morphological and kinematic parameters of crangiform fish. the motion of four pangasius sanitwongsei with different length and swimming speed were recorded by the digital particle image velocimetry (dpiv) and image processing methods and optimal coefficients of the motion equations and appropria...

This work reports on the determination of the acoustic nonlinearity parameter, B/A, from measured sound speed data, in Fluorinert FC-43 at temperatures up to 381 K and pressures up to 13.8 MPa using the thermodynamic method. Sound speed was measured using Swept Frequency Acoustic Interferometry at 11 pressures between ambient and 13.8 MPa along 6 isotherms between ambient and 381 K. Second-orde...

The sound speed of a two-phase fluid, such as a magma-gas, water-air, or water-steam mixture, is dramatically different from the sound speed of either pure component. In numerous geologic situations the sound speed of such two-phase systems may be of interest: in the search for magma reservoirs, in seismic exploration of geothermal areas, in prediction of P wave velocity decreases prior to eart...

When insects walk, they generally produce sounds. These can reveal the walkers' presence and location to potential predators such as owls, bats and nocturnal primates. Additionally, predators might extract information on taxon, palatability, size or profitability from the rustling sounds. In contrast to ear morphology, hearing physiology and psychoacoustics of acoustically oriented predators, l...
