1. Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) form aggregations known as swarms that vary greatly in size and density. Six acoustic surveys were conducted as part of multidisciplinary studies at two study sites, the western and eastern core boxes (WCB and ECB), during the 1997, 1998 an…
Acoustic and perceptual correlates of emphasis, a secondary articulation in the posterior vocal tract, in Urban Jordanian Arabic were studied. CVC monosyllables and CV.CVC bisyllables with emphatic and plain target consonants in word-initial, word-medial and word-final positions…
This paper examines the acoustics of underspecification and vowel harmony (VH) in Turkish. In Turkish, vowels in suffixes that change according to VH rules are widely believed to be underspecified for rounding and/or backness. Underspecification has previously been thought to pe…
This thesis reports research to investigate the mechanical, thermal and acoustic properties of biodegradable foams in block forms based on wheat starch and developed at Brunel University's School of Engineering & Design, in order to exploit the potential environmental benefits o…
Ultrasonic instruments are used with the aid of an irrigant such as NaOCl in endodontic treatments to remove dentin debris and calculus from infected root canals. This cleaning process may be assisted by various factors, such as acoustic streaming, and the production of radicals…
