Física por un tubo. Mide la velocidad del sonido en el aire y diviértete con los tubos sonoros
2011
En este trabajo damos las claves para disenar un conjunto de tubos sonoros de PVC que permiten realizar una ejecucion musical en grupo con la participacion de un gran numero de personas sin cultura musical previa. Proponemos ademas la utilizacion de los tubos para el estudio cuantitativo de los fenomenos fisicos involucrados en la generacion del sonido con instrumentos de viento. Se describe la utilizacion de los tubos sonoros, en combinacion con un ordenador y un programa de analisis de sonido, para el analisis de ondas estacionarias y la determinacion de la velocidad de propagacion del sonido en el aire mediante distintos procedimientos.Palabras clave: Acustica; Ondas estacionarias; Veloc…
Detección precoz de la hipoacusia, influencia en el diagnóstico y en el tratamiento temprano
2021
Detección precoz de la hipoacusia, influencia en el diagnóstico y en el tratamiento temprano. INTRODUCCIÓN: La hipoacusia es el déficit sensorial mas frecuente en los países desarrollados. La prevalencia de cualquier grado de hipoacusia es de un 2-3 % de la población infantil y el 80% de las mismas, está presente al nacimiento. Los programa de screening auditivo (SA) se justifican por la alta incidencia de la hipoacusia y sus consecuencias devastadoras para el lenguaje cuando no se detecta precozmente. OBJETIVO: Establecer el número de niños diagnosticados de hipoacusia congénita gracias al SA en el hospital Universitario La Fe. Analizamos las técnicas utilizadas en el cribado, los parámetr…
Ultrasound assisted method to increase soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) of sewage sludge for digestion
2004
The aim of this study was to clarify the possibilities to increase the amount of soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) and methane production of sludge using ultrasound technologies with and without oxidising agents. The study was done using multivariate data analyses. The most important factors affected were discovered. Ultrasonically assisted disintegration increased clearly the amount of SCOD of sludge. Also more methane was produced from treated sludge in anaerobic batch assays compared to the sludge with no ultrasonic treatment. Multivariate data analysis showed that ultrasonic power, dry solid content of sludge (DS), sludge temperature and ultrasonic treatment time have the most signi…
Inhibitory effect of A10 dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area on the orienting response evoked by acoustic stimulation in the cat.
1998
Abstract The effect of bilateral electric stimulation of A10 dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (80–300 μA, 20–50 Hz, 0.1–0.5 ms, 2 s duration) on latency and duration of the orienting response, evoked by acoustic stimuli (4500–8000 Hz, 2 s), was studied in the cat. A10 neuron stimulation, simultaneous with the acoustic one, was performed with threshold parameters inducing minimal behavioral signs (head searching movement, sniffing, increase in alertness). By means of a videoanalysis system, a statistically significant increase, both of latency and duration of the response, was observed. The possible role of dopamine was studied administrating sulpiride (20 mg/kg IP), a dopa…
Estimates for Divergence Velocities of Axially Moving Orthotropic Thin Plates
2014
Some models for axially moving orthotropic thin plates are investigated analytically via methods of complex analysis to derive estimates for critical plate velocities. Linearised Kirchhoff plate theory is used, and the energy forms of steady-state models are considered with homogeneous and inhomogeneous tension profiles in the cross direction of the plate. With the help of the energy forms, some limits for the divergence velocity of the plate are found analytically. In numerical examples, the derived lower limits for the divergence velocity are analysed for plates with small flexural rigidity. peerReviewed
Bene ordinata et eleganter picta. Kościół św. Jerzego w Gliwicach-Ostropie (1667-1719-2019). Monografia wydana z okazji 350. rocznicy budowy kościoła…
2019
Wieloautorska monografia, pod naukową redakcją ks. Piotra Góreckiego, powstała z okazji 350. rocznicy budowy murowano-drewnianego kościoła pw. św. Jerzego w Gliwicach-Ostropie oraz 300. rocznicy jego poświęcenia. Pod koniec prowadzonego przez ponad 10 lat kapitalnego remontu zdecydowano się, aby pozostawić trwały ślad nie tylko w strukturze zabytkowej odrestaurowanej budowli, ale także aby opublikować monografię książkową, zbierającą w jedną całość dotychczasową wiedzę o tym zabytkowym kościele: jego przeszłości i aktualnym stanie, jego historycznej konstrukcji i przechowywanej w nim lub też w Muzeum Diecezjalnym w Opolu zabytkowej substancji. Do napisania poszczególnych rozdziałów zaproszo…
Ultrasound accelerated esterification of bile acids
2004
In this study power ultrasound accelerated esterification reactions of some model substances and bile acids were done. In the model reactions the best result was 19-fold increase in the reaction rate when using ultrasound and the temperature was allowed to rise during the irradiation. In the case of bile acid methyl esters a clear increase in the reaction rates was also observed by ultrasonic irradiations.
Domain‐specific neural networks improve automated bird sound recognition already with small amount of local data
2022
1. An automatic bird sound recognition system is a useful tool for collecting data of different bird species for ecological analysis. Together with autonomous recording units (ARUs), such a system provides a possibility to collect bird observations on a scale that no human observer could ever match. During the last decades, progress has been made in the field of automatic bird sound recognition, but recognizing bird species from untargeted soundscape recordings remains a challenge. 2. In this article, we demonstrate the workflow for building a global identification model and adjusting it to perform well on the data of autonomous recorders from a specific region. We show how data augmentatio…
Decoupled Acoustic and Visual Components in the Multimodal Signals of the Common Cuckoo (Cuculus canorus)
2021
Because of its parasitic habits, reproduction costs of the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) are mostly spent in pre-laying activities. Female costs are limited to searching host nests and laying eggs, whereas, males spend time in performing intense vocal displays, possibly with territorial purpose. This last aspect, together with a sexual plumage dimorphism, points to both intra- and inter-sexual selections operating within this species. One element triggering sexual selection is a differential fitness accrued by different phenotypes. Before analyzing possible sexual selection mechanisms operating in cuckoos, it is therefore necessary to verify whether there is a variability among male secon…
