Le microphone dans la balance : espaces et enjeux sonores des procès historiques des attentats de Paris et de Nice by Aurore Juvenelle

“…This article initiates a reflection on the ways of listening to these trials under two aspects, first via a sound journey aimed at enlightening their daily reality in a sensitive way. It intertwines a ritualized relationship with a judicial space unusually fragmented by the security system, with the symbolism of a multi-secular monument where History is lived, day after day and over time, by a specific micro-society. …”

Nondata-aided error vector magnitude performance analysis over κ−μ shadowed fading channel by Fan YANG, Xiaoping ZENG, Haiwei MAO, Xin JIAN, Derong DU, Xiaoheng TAN, Yiwen GAO

“…The performance prediction of wireless system over κ−μ shadowed fading channels was a challenging problem of wireless communications,which affects transmission scheme design seriously.To solve this problem,a novel method of quantifying the κ−μ shadowed fading channels performance based on nondata-aided error vector magnitude (NDA-EVM) was proposed.NDA-EVM was considered as a new metric to evaluate the change of the channels.The unified model to calculate different modulation order of NDA-EVM was analytically derived by maximum likelihood criterion.Moreover,the relationship between the κ−μ distribution and the NDA-EVM was built by using the attenuation factor of the channel as intermediate variable.Thereafter,the lower bounds of the NDA-EVM over the κ−μ shadowed fading channels were formulated,which was also simplified for various typical channels.The theoretical analysis was taken,moreover,numerical results were also conducted to verify the effectiveness of the derived formulation.It shows that NDA-EVM estimation has the lest root mean square error than data-aided signal to noise ratio (DA-SNR) estimation and error vector magnitude (DA-EVM) estimation over the κ−μ shadowed fading channels.The derived lower bounds closely match the theoretical values,especially at low SNR.In addition,the lower bounds are negatively related to all of the parameters of the κ−μ shadowed fading channels,which make it sensitive to the change of the fading channels.…”

Interaction of Musicianship and Aging: A Comparison of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials by Jennifer L. O’Brien, Dee A. Nikjeh, Jennifer J. Lister

“…Comparisons of P1-N1-P2, MMN, and P3a components between older and young adult musicians and nonmusicians suggest that P1 and P2 latencies are significantly affected by age, but not musicianship, while MMN and P3a appear to be more sensitive to effects of musicianship than aging. Conclusions. …”

And growth on form? How tissue expansion generates novel shapes, colours and enhance biological functions of Turing colour patterns of Eukaryotes. by Pierre Galipot

“…Our results demonstrate the range of morphogenetic roles that tissue expansion can take, by interacting with a scale-sensitive mechanism, here Turing-like patterning. Considering this extensive overview of its biological importance, both qualitatively and quantitatively, links between growth and form might more than ever needed to be explored.…”
