Enhancement of the sound absorption of closed-cell mineral foams by perforations: Manufacturing process and model-supported adaptation by Bart Van Damme, Théo Cavalieri, Cong-Truc Nguyen, Camille Perrot

“…Simulations of the microscopic fluid flow in a representative volume element show how the combination of foam properties and perforation patterns can be combined such that sub-wavelength absorption is obtained. Comparing the predicted sound absorption with impedance tube measurements demonstrates that the solution can yield a wideband low-frequency sound absorption peak. …”

Neural Network-Based Lower Limb Prostheses Control Using Super Twisting Sliding Mode Control by Adisu Tadese Demora, Chala Merga Abdissa

“…The triggering signal is extracted from the user’s muscles and intense signal preprocessing that includes filtering, rectification, linearization, and Mean Average Value (MAV) feature extraction. The ANN predicts joint angles for walking, upstairs, and downstairs using the processed sEMG signals of the muscles and measured and filtered target joint angles. …”

Hearing in categories and speech perception at the "cocktail party". by Gavin M Bidelman, Fallon Bernard, Kimberly Skubic

“…., whether responses were binary or continuous judgments), we then show the degree of release from masking experienced at the cocktail party is predicted by their degree of categoricity in phoneme labeling and not high-frequency audiometric thresholds; more discrete listeners make less effective use of time-reversal and show less release from masking than their gradient responding peers. …”

Evolutionary Explanations of the “Actuarial Senescence in the Wild” and of the “State of Senility” by Giacinto Libertini

“…Only the theory attributing an adaptive value to IMICAW allows an evolutionary explanation for it and for the aforesaid inverse correlation, while the other three theories (“mutation accumulation”, “antagonistic pleiotropy”, and “disposable soma” th.) even predict a positive correlation.Afterwards, the same theories are tested as possible explanations for the “state of senility”[3], namely the deteriorated state of individuals in artificially protected conditions (captivity, civilization, etc.) at ages rarely or never observable in the wild. …”
