Bu çalışma, Konya ilinin Akören ilçesinin ağzı üzerine hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmada Akören ağzına ait metinler derlenerek, yazıya geçirilip söz varlığının tespiti ve Akören ağızlarının Türkiye Türkçesi ağızları içerisindeki yerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma; Giriş, İncele…
Semavi dinler ortaya çıktığından beri misyonerlik faaliyetleri her dönemde yapılmıştır. Hristiyanların, tarihte, özellikle müslüman devletler arasında bu faaliyetleri olduğu bilinmektedir. William Seaman'ın 1666 tarihinde bastırdığı ve aynı zamanda basılmış ilk Türkçe incil olan…
Este relatório, desenvolvido no âmbito da Prática de Ensino Supervisionada do Mestrado em Ensino de Informática da Universidade de Lisboa, apresenta o projeto de intervenção pedagógica realizado na Escola Secundária D. Dinis numa turma do 12.º ano do Curso Científico-humanístico…
This dissertation explores how vowel formant tuning affects choral blend, balance, and the intonation of homophonic chords. This document 1) evaluates historical and current research into choral blend and balance , and suggests formant tuning as a common denominator that can pro…
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum, physically or socially. The ways in which sound operates are a result of acoustic properties, and the ways by which it is considered to be music are a result of social constructions. Therefore, music is always political, regardless of its content…
This research involves a theoretical analysis of the propagation of sound within chemically reacting hydrocarbon combustion products. A procedure for determining the sound speed and absorption coefficient was developed. Analyses for other chemically reacting gas mixtures can be …
Good listening conditions are essential in classrooms. Students are greatly handicapped when the classroom acoustics are marginal or poor affecting the comprehension of delivered speech. Poor acoustical ambience affects teachers as well; talking over noisy classrooms can be exha…
This thesis documented a comprehensive study of loudspeaker modeling and control. A lumped-parameter model for a voice-coil loudspeaker in a vented enclosure was presented that derived from a consideration of physical principles. In addition, a low-frequency (20 Hz to 100 Hz), f…
A major problem in many public address systems of large halls is the poor perception of message due to multiple reflections-echoes-in the hall. The general approach to this problem is to identify the characteristics of the echo path and then generate an echo replica which cancel…
The work presented in this thesis is concerned with the propagation of acoustic waves through phononic crystal systems and their ability to attenuate sound in the low frequency regime. The plane wave expansion method and finite element method are utilised to investigate the prop…
Demands to handle individual particles or particle agglomerates have been emerging in the fields of biology and chemistry, and particle trapping and manipulation with mechanical waves generated from ultrasound sources, known as “acoustic tweezing”, has gained great interest by r…
Musical timbre is a complex and multidimensional entity which provides information regarding the properties of a sound source (size, material, etc.). When it comes to music, however, timbre does not merely carry environmental information, but it also conveys aesthetic meaning. I…
This research aims to develop a low-frequency response control methodology capable of delivering a consistent spectral and temporal response over a wide listening area. Low-frequency room acoustics are naturally plagued by room-modes, a result of standing waves at frequencies wi…
The aim of this study was to investigate the composition of an acoustic scattering layer in the North Sea that is particularly strong at 38 kHz. A full definition of the biological composition of the layer, along with its acoustic properties, would allow for it to be confidently…
As the biomass of jellyfish (medusae of the Scyphozoa and Hydrozoa) has risen in numerous locations worldwide, awareness of their potential to exert a controlling influence on marine ecosystems and hinder the recruitment of fish stocks has increased. Medusae are capable of inten…
A great deal of current work in phonology discusses the functional grounding of phonological patterns. This dissertation proposes that functional factors can motivate phonological constraints in two ways. ‘Functionally grounded’ constraints are induced from learners' immediate l…
This Dissertation presents quantitative ultrasonic measurements of the myocardium in fetal hearts and adult human hearts with the goal of studying the physics of sound waves incident upon anisotropic and inhomogeneous materials. Ultrasound has been used as a clinical tool to ass…
This research work centers on two topics: speed of sound (SOS) estimations in tissues by array transducers using image quality features and texture orientation in pre-beamformed data, and generation of angular scatter images. SOS is a fundamental property of tissue. It is partia…
The bulk material of the tooth is dentin which provides support for the outer layer of enamel. It is important to have knowledge about the viscoelastic properties of dentin in order to develop diagnostic tools for assessing dental disease and to develop effective fillings, bridg…
