    Abstract: A combined experimental and theoretical study is presented for the feasibility of using aluminum foams with semiopen cells for sound-absorption applications. The foams are processed via negative-pressure infiltration, using a preform consisting of water-soluble spherical particles. An analytical model is developed to quantify the dependence of pore connectivity on processing parameters, including infiltration pressure, particle size, wetting angle, and surface tension of molten alloy. Normal sound-absorption coefficient and static flow resistance are measured for samples having different porosity, pore size, and pore opening. A theory is developed for idealized semiopen metallic foams, with a regular hexagonal hollow prism having one circular aperture on each of its eight surfaces as the unit cell. The theory is built upon the acoustic impedance of the circular apertures (orifices) and cylindrical cavities due to viscous effects, and the principle of electroacoustic analogy. The predicted sound-absorption coefficients are compared with those measured. To help select processing parameters for producing semiopen metallic foams with desirable sound-absorbing properties, emphasis is placed on revealing the correlation between sound absorption and morphological parameters such as pore size, pore opening, and porosity.

    Abstract: Non-native listeners have more difficulty perceiving acoustically degraded English speech than native listeners. In addition, performance in non-native listeners varies greatly depending on many linguistic factors. Recognizing the importance of these factors, the current study assessed how 30 non-native listeners utilized contextual information on the reverberant speech-perception-in-noise test [Sandridge et al., AAS (2005)] based on their linguistic profiles, obtained through the Language Experience and Profile Questionnaire [V. Marian et al., JSLHR 50, 940–967 (2007)] . Specifically, these SPIN sentences (high versus low context) were processed in two levels of multi-talker babble (signal-to-noise ratio =+6 versus 0 dB) and two levels of reverberation (reverberation time =1.2 vs 3.6 s). Significant factors in language dominance, proficiency, learning, and use were identified using correlation and multiple regression procedures. Most strikingly, factors related to reading in English (age of acquisition, age of fluency, and preference) emerged as the strongest predictors of performance regardless of the main effect (noise, reverberation, or context). Most variance in performance could be accounted for by these reading factors and two additional factors related to speaking in English (proficiency and accent).

    Abstract: The phase-shifting based active noise control (ANC) algorithm without secondary path modeling is appealing due to its simple implementation and high computational efficiency. However, the algorithm suffers from the influence of an implicit circular convolution caused by directly applying the most appropriate phase shift to the reference signal in the frequency domain. The implicit circular convolution results in a poor linear relationship between the phase-shifted reference signal and the error signal, which considerably degrades the convergence performance of the ANC system. In this paper, two methods are proposed to deal with this problem. In the first method, the circular wraparound artifacts are removed by the time-domain constraining operation. In the second method, a noncausal phase-shifting filter is used to regularize the phase of the reference signal. Compared with the standard frequency-domain implementation, the two proposed algorithms both eliminate the influence caused by the wraparound artifacts of the circular convolution and improve the linear relationship between the phase-shifted reference signal and the error signal, leading to a higher level of noise attenuation with a tolerable increase in computational complexity. Simulation results validate the better noise attenuation ability of the proposed algorithms.

    Abstract: Sound quality can reflect people's subjective auditory feelings; thus, it plays an important role in automobile interior noise evaluation in recent years. Most research focuses on steady-state running conditions. In this paper, automobile vibration and noise transfer paths were measured with the binaural transfer path analysis (BTPA) method under both transient and steady-state running conditions. Then, loudness, sharpness, roughness, and A-weighted sound pressure level were used for studying properties and differences of automobile interior noise among different running conditions. Moreover, an experiment was carried out for the subjects to mark the annoyance of all noise samples. After that, the artificial neural network was applied to create the sound quality model to assess automobile interior noise without subjective experiments. According to the scores and binaural transfer path synthesis(BTPS) results, structural improvement methods were proposed for better sound quality of the automobile.

    Abstract: Drama translation studies used to be the most neglected area in translation studies due to its prescriptive approaches and reductionist illusion of polarization of performability and readability. Corpus stylistics of drama, with the aid of computer technology as well as the understanding of the true nature of drama as the dialectical combination of both literary and theatrical characteristics, appears to be a remarkable theoretical framework and methodology for drama translation studies. The study of (im)politeness in Death of a Salesman and its two Chinese versions is undertaken as a case study. ICTCLAS and Concordance 3.0 were used to calculate the high frequent expressions concerning (im)politeness in both the original text and the Chinese versions, followed by the analysis of their stylistic function. It is found that modal particles and slang expressions in Chinese are useful to reconstruct the characterization, plot as well as performability of the translated drama. In conclusion, corpus stylistics of drama is of high feasibility in drama translation studies.

    Acceptable noise level in bilinguals: Consideration of signal and masker effects
    Acoustical Society of America (ASA) ; 2014

    In: The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, Acoustical Society of America (ASA), Vol. 135, No. 4_Supplement ( 2014-04-01), p. 2412-2412
    Abstract: This study explores how bilingual listeners’ acceptable noise level (ANL) may be affected by the language of the signal, language of the masker, and talkers in the masker. ANL measures how much a listener tolerates background noise while listening to running speech. It differs from conventional speech recognition tasks in that it does not concern one’s ability to comprehend speech. Hence, ANLs are expected to be relatively free of bilingual background. In this study, the signal (running passages from New York State Department of Motor Vehicles driving manual) was presented in two languages (English versus Spanish). The maskers (Auditec babbles) were manipulated in language (English versus Spanish) and number of talkers (four versus twelve). Additionally, three groups of 12 listeners participated in the study—monolingual English, Spanish-English bilingual, and Russian-English bilingual. A 3×2×2×2 mixed, repeated design was carried out with listener group as the between-subjects factor, and signal and masker language and number factors as the within-subjects factors. Preliminary findings reveal a non-significant effect for all four factors; however, a marginally significant four-way interaction (p = 0.048) invites group wise analysis. Results may help establish new clinical approaches in assessing listeners’ speech perception difficulty in noise, regardless of language background.

    Voicing, devoicing, and noise measures in Shanghainese voiced and voiceless glottal fricatives
    Acoustical Society of America (ASA) ; 2014

    Abstract: Shanghainese has a rather rare voicing distinction between the glottal fricatives /h/ and /ɦ/. We evaluate the acoustic characteristics of this contrast in ten male and ten female speakers of urban Shanghainese dialect. Participants produced 20 CV words with a mid/low central vowel in a short carrier phrase. All legal consonant-tone combinations were used: /h/ preceded high, low, and short tones whereas /ɦ/ preceded low and short tones. Preliminary analyses suggested that the traditional “voiced” and “voiceless” labels for these sounds are not always phonetically accurate; hence we measure the duration of any voicing break relative to the entire phrase, as well as the harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) over the time. We expect longer relative voiceless durations and lower HNR measures for /h/ compared to /ɦ/. A question of interest is whether any gender differences emerge. A previous study on American English [Koenig, 2000, JSLHR 43, 1211–1228] found that men phonated through their productions of /h/ more often than women, and interpreted that finding in terms of male-female differences in vocal fold characteristics. A language that contrasts /h/ and /ɦ/ might minimize any such gender variation. Alternatively, the contrast might be realized in slightly different ways in men and women.

    Abstract: This study describes variation patterns in the constant frequency of echolocation calls emitted at rest and when not flying (“resting frequency” RF) of the least horseshoe bat, Rhinolophus pusillus, on a broad geographical scale and in response to local climatic variables. Significant differences in RF were observed among populations throughout the species range in Mainland China, and this variation was positively and significantly related to climate conditions, especially environmental humidity, but the variability was only weakly associated with geographical distance. Sex dimorphism in the RF of R. pusillus may imply that female and male might keep their frequencies within a narrow range for sex recognition. Moreover, bats adjusted resting frequency to humidity, which may imply partitioning diet by prey size or the influence of rainfall noise. The results indicate that bats adjust echolocation call frequency to adapt to environmental conditions. Therefore, environmental selection shape the diversity of echolocation call structure of R. pusillus in geographically separated populations, and conservation efforts should focus on changes in local climate and effects of environmental noise.

    Abstract: This study contrasts the production of Cantonese words between native (Hong Kong) immigrant speakers of the language and native first or second generation American-born Cantonese speakers. The word lists were constructed to sample across the tone space and vowel space. Multiple recordings were recorded at different intervals in order to assess variability in sound production. Of particular interest was whether the American-born speakers showed greater variability than the Hong Kong speakers. Vowel formant frequencies and tonal patterns, measured by fundamental frequency contours, were compared between the Hong Kong speakers and the American born speakers. In addition, we evaluated the presence of “lazy tones” in the two groups. This data adds to the sparse literature on Cantonese speakers in America.
