  2. 1. Sound perception and design in multimodal environments

    Author : PerMagnus Lindborg; Anders K. Friberg; Daniel Västfjäll; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sound; perception; design; multimodal; environment; soundscape; music; listening; crossmodal; psychoacoustics; psychophysiology; personality trait; emotion; appraisal; aesthetics; colour; correlation; regression; classification; sonification; Tal- och musikkommunikation; Speech and Music Communication;

    Abstract : This dissertation is about sound in context. Since sensory processing is inherently multimodal, research in sound is necessarily multidisciplinary. The present work has been guided by principles of systematicity, ecological validity, complementarity of  methods, and integration of science and art. READ MORE

  4. 2. Wind Turbine Sound Propagation in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer

    Author : Olof Öhlund; Conny Larsson; Anna Sjöblom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Wind turbine sound; atmospheric effects; outdoor sound propagation; refraction;

    Abstract : Wind turbines have grown both in size and number in the past decades. The taller turbines has made it possible to place them in forest areas which is fortunate for a country like Sweden with lots of forest. An issue with wind turbines is the sound they produce. The sound mainly comes from the rotor blades when they pass through the air. READ MORE

  5. 3. Wind Turbine Noise and Natural Sounds : Masking, Propagation and Modeling

    Author : Karl Bolin; Mats Åbom; Jens Forssén; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wind turbine noise; models of natural sound sources; masking; Acoustics; Akustik;

    Abstract : Wind turbines are an environmentally friendly and sustainable power source. Unfortunately, the noise impact can cause deteriorated living conditions for nearby residents. The audibility of wind turbine sound is influenced by ambient sound. This thesis deals with some aspects of noise from wind turbines. READ MORE

  6. 4. Sparse Modeling of Grouped Line Spectra

    Author : Ted Kronvall; Statistical Signal Processing Group; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; line spectra; parameter estimation; convex optimization; group-sparsity; block-sparsity; dictionary learning; ADMM; adaptive penalty; total variation; multi-pitch estimation; chroma; audio processing; TDOA; near-field localization; amplitude modulation;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis focuses on clustered parametric models for estimation of line spectra, when the spectral content of a signal source is assumed to exhibit some form of grouping. Different from previous parametric approaches, which generally require explicit knowledge of the model orders, this thesis exploits sparse modeling, where the orders are implicitly chosen. READ MORE

  7. 5. Sensitivity, Variation, and Application of Least-Cost Path Models in Landscape Connectivity Analysis and Corridor Planning

    Author : Rachel Mundeli Murekatete; Takeshi Shirabe; Gyözö Gidofalvi; Jean Pierre Bizimana; Gerhard Navratil; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Landscape connectivity; Conservation corridor; Stepping stones; Effective distance; Geographic Information Systems; Raster data; Land evaluation; Suitability analysis; Cost surface; Suitability surface; Ordinal scale; Least-cost path; Spatial resolution; Landskapsanslutning; Bevarandekorridor; Stegbräda; Effektivt avstånd; Geografiska informationssystem; Rasterdata; Markutvärdering; Lämplighetsanalys; Kostnadsyta; Lämplighetsyta; Ordinal skala; Lägsta kostnadsväg; Rumslig upplösning; Geoinformatik; Geoinformatics;

    Abstract : In recent decades, Rwanda has been affected by the loss and fragmentation of natural habitats for native species of animals and plants. As a consequence, landscape connectivity—i.e. READ MORE
