音乐厅音质设计进展述评

本文对近年来音乐厅音质设计中若干问题的进展作一述评。（1）在已建立的众多独立音质参量基础上，如何作出大厅综合评价，就需要考虑到它们的互动性和贡献权，方法学将成为关键。（2）空间感已确认由声源视在展宽度ASW和听者环绕感LEV组成，对于影响两者的诸多复杂因素有了较深入研究，这声场中的细节又将如何与大厅设计相联系亦备受关注。（3）听众及座椅吸声这个老问题有了新的研究成果，对于空、满场的声学关系已积累了更多资料，使大厅音质的估算更为精确可靠。（4）常说扩散对大厅音质很重要，但其主观效应仍然处于玄虚状态，一些新的主观试听实验结果还不足以说明问题。

Prediction of the reverberation time in high absorbent room using a modified-diffusion model

A modification of the diffusion model’s boundary condition, based on the Eyring absorption coefficient, to account for high walls absorption is proposed. Numerical comparisons are carried out for three geometrical configurations (a proportionate room, a corridor and a flat enclosure). Comparisons with the statistical theory and a ray-tracing software show that the modified boundary condition increases the accuracy of the diffusion model in term of reverberation time in all the simulated configurations. An experimental comparison in the case of a non-uniformly absorbent room (a reverberation chamber covered with patches of glass wool) is also carried out. The modified-diffusion model results match well with the ray-tracing ones. Both models are in agreement with the experimental data for most of third octave bands (discrepancy close to or below 10%). However, some discrepancies up to 40% can also be observed in a few octave bands, probably due to experimental considerations and to the modal behaviour of the room at low frequencies.     

Accuracy of speech transmission index predictions based on the reverberation time and signal-to-noise ratio

This paper examines the accuracy of the speech transmission index (STI) calculated from the reverberation time (T) and signal-to-noise ratio (L_SN) of enclosed spaces. Differences between measured and predicted STIs have been analysed in two rooms (reverberant vs. absorbent), for a wide range of absorption conditions and signal-to-noise ratios (sixteen tests). The STI was measured using maximum length sequence analysis and predictions were calculated using either measured or predicted values of T and L_SN, the latter assuming diffuse sound field conditions. The results obtained for all the conditions tested showed that STI predictions based on T and L_SN tend to underestimate the STI, with differences between measured and predicted STIs always lower than 0.1 (on a 0.0–1.0 scale), and on average lower than 0.06. According to previous research, these differences are noticeable and therefore non-negligible, as 0.03 is the just noticeable difference in STI. The use of either measured or predicted values of T and L_SN provided similar STI predictions (i.e. non-noticeable changes), with differences between predictions that are on average lower than 0.03 for the absorbent room, and lower than 0.01 for the reverberant room.     

Analytical derivation of a formula for the reduction of computation time by the voxel crossing technique used in room acoustical simulation

Computation times of room acoustical simulation algorithms still suffer from the time consuming search for ray-wall-intersections. Spatial subdivision may speed up ray tracing considerably. For room acoustics, where the number of surface polygons (walls) is not so high, the voxel technique appears suitable. The voxel crossing algorithm is very fast. However, its performance was not yet investigated up to now. Voxels are small cubes by which the space is subdivided periodically. The advantage: Only in the rare case a voxel intersects a wall the intersection point needs to be computed. In this paper, by estimating the probabilities of such intersections, an analytical formula is derived, by which the optimum degree of spatial subdivision and the factor of acceleration of the algorithm can be forecasted. It turns out that the computation time increases only with instead of with K₀ (the number of polygons of the room). Thus, on a modern PC, computation time for a full room acoustical simulation even for highly complicated rooms may be reduced by a factor in the order of 100, i.e. to a few seconds.     

A new formula for the saddle-to-scission time

We propose a new formula for the saddle-to-scission time that is more general that the one based on Kramers' approach. Its validity and applicability is then studied in detail. Such a formula is useful for the evaluation of the fission time of very heavy nuclei.     

Propagation of stochastic electromagnetic vortex beams through the turbulent biological tissues

The general analytical expression of the stochastic electromagnetic vortex beams through turbulent biological tissues is derived based on the fractal model. The statistical properties, including the spectral density, the spectral degree of coherence and the spectral degree of polarization are investigated in detail. It can be found that the normalized spectral density of the stochastic electromagnetic vortex beams with higher topological charge is less influenced by turbulence than that with lower topological charge. In addition, the change of the degree of polarization versus propagation distance of the anisotropic vortex beams in biological tissues differs from that of the isotropic vortex beams. The findings might be useful in the investigation of the structures of biological tissues and operation of communication and sensing systems involving biological tissues turbulence channels.     

A Weak Formulation of the Boltzmann Equation Based on the Fourier Transform

In this article we present an alternative formulation of the spatially homogeneous Boltzmann equation. Rewriting the weak form of the equation with shifted test functions and using Fourier techniques, it turns out that the transformed problem contains only a three-fold integral. Explicit formulas for the transformed collision kernel are presented in the case of VHS models for hard and soft potentials. For isotropic Maxwellian molecules, a classical result by Bobylev is recovered, too.     

On the role of mixing models in the simulation of MILD combustion using finite-rate chemistry combustion models

The present work shows an in-depth analysis about the role of mixing models on the simulation of MILD combustion using a finite-rate combustion model, the Partially Stirred Reactor approach (PaSR). Different approaches of increasing complexity are compared: a simple model based on a fraction of the integral time scale, a fractal-based mixing model and a dynamic mixing model based on the resolution of transport equations for scalar variance and dissipation rate. The approach is validated using detailed experimental data from flames stabilized on the Adelaide Jet-in-Hot Co-flow (JHC) burner at different fuel-jet Reynolds numbers (5k, 10k and 20k) and different co-flow oxygen dilution levels (3%, 6% and 9%). The results indicate the major role of mixing models to correctly handle turbulence/chemistry interactions and clearly indicate the superior performances of the dynamic mixing model over the other tested approaches.

Assessing the intelligibility of speech and singing in Mudejar-Gothic churches

Speech intelligibility in these places of worship has been assessed through a study of the spatial distribution of the RASTI and the energy-based acoustic parameters, clarity for speech, C₅₀ and definition, D₅₀. Parameters have been obtained by intensity-modulated stationary noise (IMN) signals and by maximum length sequence (MLS) signals in order to obtain the impulse responses. The 12 churches analysed correspond to the same highly characteristic architectural typology of southern Spain, and measurements were taken without occupancy. A full correlation between those RASTI, C₅₀ and D₅₀ parameters produced by different experimental techniques has been carried out. This correlation has lead to a more profound characterization of these churches from this functional point of view, together with an analysis of the capability of each parameter to take into account the different aspects in the degradation of the signal from speaker to listener in a room, and has also lead to a study of the subjective range of qualification of the energy-based acoustic parameters. Simultaneously, a comparison has been made of the values of those variables with those expected from a semi-empirical model deduced for these religious spaces.     

Determination of nonlinear optical properties using the Voigt function: Stochastic considerations

In this work, the absorptive and dispersive profiles of a molecular system have been calculated through a methodology based on the averaging of the coherence obtained by the resolution of the optical stochastic Bloch equations. To this aim, a generalized Lorentzian approximation to the Voigt function has been used as a probability distribution, which allows a more generalized analysis of the interactions between the solvent and the molecule. This has been modeled with the parameters of the standard organic dye Green Malaquite, which exhibits a nonlinear behavior under the interaction with a high intensity electric field.

Planck's experiment on gas mixing,Gibbs' paradox and the definition of entropy in statistical mechanics

The interpretation of entropy provided by statistical thermodynamics is not adequate to represent the thermodynamic entropy of the gas of noninteracting particles considered in this theory. Planck's thought experiment on reversible mixing and Gibbs' paradox provide perhaps the best-known evidence of this. The assumption that the internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature is introduced both in the kinetic theory of gases and in the classical thermodynamics. Such an assumption is no doubt adequate to deal with real gases at appropriately low pressures and high temperatures. However, the present paper shows that the same assumption implies that the entropy of an ideal gas, like its internal energy, must also depend only on temperature. The paper calculates the expression of the entropy function that is consistent with the internal energy function of the gas. From this expression, the thermodynamic entropy of the ideal gas – as distinct from its statistical entropy – is finally expressed in terms of statistical mechanics variables.

Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopic Studies on the Effect of Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate on the Secondary Structure of Human Erythrocyte Membrane Proteins

Abstract

In this paper, the study on the effect of cAMP on erythrocyte membrane proteins by FTIR, deconvolution and curvefitting was reported. It was found that cAMP affects the secondary structure of membrane proteins by changing random and β-turn regions to the α-helix segments. The regulation of cAMP has a best concentration region, during which cAMP has the strongest regulating function. Meanwhile, cGMP and ATP has a negative effect on membrane proteins' secondary structure comparing to cAMP.     

Optical Bloch equations with dual photon excitation explain the polarization dependence of four wave mixing quantum beats

We explain the polarization dependence of four wave mixing (FWM) quantum beats for semiconductors as essentially due to the spin phase correlations of photo-excited electrons, rather than to Coulomb interaction between the electrons. A theoretical analysis is given within the framework of optical Bloch equations for the light–semiconductor interactions and the Luttinger–Kohn model for the band structure. Residual Coulomb interactions between charge carriers are ignored. The results suggest that the polarization dependence of FWM quantum beats is a purely coherent effect of dual photon excitations, rather than, e.g., exciton–exciton Coulomb interaction. We show that the coherence transfer between the excited states is responsible for the FWM in a configuration with orthogonally polarized pump and probe.
