Plants are influenced inevitably by environmental stresses due to their immobility. Sound waves are one of these environmental factors affecting plants. This study was designed to understand the relationship between sound waves and plant responses that is still low knowledge. For this purpose, Salvia splendens, one of the common plants in urban green spaces, were influenced by sound wa...

background: there is a great concern for the possible adverse effects of radiofrequency radiations of cell phones. moreover, unwanted sound is one of the physical pollutants of current societies. thus, the present study was conducted to examine the effect of cell phone waves, sound, and simultaneous effect of cell phone waves and sound on sperm viability and total antioxidant capacity of blood ...

the use of acoustic waves in researches related to sea water is of most importance among scientistsrecently. since these waves are the only waves, transmitted in water with lowest attenuation and high speed, they canbe used in many scientific fields. the main goal of this research is to better understand the physics and mechanismsof sound-seabed interaction, including acoustic penetration, prop...

© 2008 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0804-010-6 Relativistic sound waves raced through the hot plasma that filled the universe for its first 380 000 years. That sound left an imprint that is still discernible in the cosmic microwave background and also in the large-scale distribution of galaxies. Measurements of the sound waves manifested in the CMB, coupled with a detailed underst...
