However, in many situations, it is unfeasible to modify the physical system itself. This paper demonstrates that virtual impedance matching without added tuned layers is possible by allowing the frequencies of incident waves to take on complex values. The resulting tailored waveforms directly excite the zeros of the reflection coefficient and lead to complex generalizations of Fabry-Pérot resonances and quarter-wavelength matching. This is demonstrated experimentally whereby the reflection coefficient for an ultrasound beam incident on a bi-layer plate immersed in water is reduced by more than an order of magnitude. While the technique is naturally limited in temporal duration due to the quasi-steady state nature of the signals, it provides an alternative approach to traditional impedance matching by eliminating the need for extra tuned layers and may prove useful in applications where reduction of reflections is desired without modifying the system itself.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2868-2876"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144023752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A key attribute of compressed sensing lies in its ability to facilitate a substantial reduction in both machinery size and power consumption. This technological synergy not only addresses crucial practical considerations in the design of ultrasound systems but also opens avenues for enhanced portability and energy efficiency. This study develops a model and introduces an aperture mask with a mixing scheme for compressive ultrasound imaging employing a single transducer, aiming to minimize the loss of information and scrutinize the variables influencing image quality while facilitating computationally efficient system simulation. A detailed procedural guide is presented for generating synthetic data, accompanied by qualitative and quantitative analyses using several sparse recovery methods under different experimental conditions. This study's analysis reveals that the proposed strategy achieves improved metrics, offering advantages for sparse recovery. Specifically, the finite element results demonstrate approximately a 10% improvement in the condition number of the measurement matrix, reflecting enhanced numerical stability.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2994-3002"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143970947","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While differences between spontaneous and volitional laughs have been described, little is known about the communicative functions of volitional (voluntary) laughter-a complex signal used across diverse social contexts. Here, we examined whether the acoustic structure of volitional laughter encodes social contextual information recognizable by humans and computers. We asked men and women to produce volitional laughs in eight distinct social contexts ranging from positive (e.g., watching a comedy) to negative valence (e.g., embarrassment). Human listeners and machine classification algorithms accurately identified most laughter contexts above chance. However, confusion often arose within valence categories, and could be largely explained by shared acoustics. Although some acoustic features varied across social contexts, including fundamental frequency (perceived as voice pitch) and energy parameters (entropy variance, loudness, spectral centroid, and cepstral peak prominence), which also predicted listeners' recognition of laughter contexts, laughs evoked across different social contexts still often overlapped in acoustic and perceptual space. Thus, we show that volitional laughter can convey some reliable information about social context, but much of this is tied to valence, suggesting that volitional laughter is a graded rather than discrete vocal signal.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2774-2789"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144010317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The size of the available microbubbles for clinical use is polydisperse, but size-tailorable monodisperse microbubbles are now being developed that present a narrow size distribution. Therefore, proper frequency and pressure tuning have the potential to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and resolution of CEUS acquisitions, which can be expected to increase the performance of CEUS super-localization imaging. In this work, the impact of monodisperse microbubble size on CEUS imaging quality and the efficacy of super-localization imaging was investigated by jointly tuning different frequencies and pressures for different monodisperse microbubble size when performing in vitro CEUS imaging of microbubbles flowing through a dedicated sugar-printed dual-bifurcation microvasculature phantom. The obtained CEUS acquisitions were then post-processed to generate a super-localization output using the Gaussian-centroid localization approach. Four metrics, including generalized contrast-to-noise ratio, full-width half-maximum, number of localization events, and localization F1-score, were employed to quantify the CEUS imaging quality and super-localization performance. In general, jointly optimizing the transmit frequency and pressure for monodisperse microbubbles with smaller size leads to improved CEUS imaging and better super-localization performance. Yet, the weaker backscatter of smaller microbubbles must also be considered.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2687-2696"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144041353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For example, in fast speech, segments are often temporally constricted and subject to articulatory undershoot. Although listeners can compensate for rate differences in perceiving phonological contrasts, less is known about how the structure of multiple cues to a contrast is conditioned by changes in speech rate. This study explores how speech rate modulates seven temporal and nontemporal spectral cues to the Japanese stop voicing contrast in spontaneous speech. It is observed that individual cues are subject to variation as a function of speech rate, where all cues undergo reduction or neutralisation in fast speech and the relative importance of each cue changes as a function of speech rate. Ratios between the duration of the stop and surrounding vowels are most informative at slow rates, and the degree of closure voicing is most informative at faster rates. These findings illustrate how the realisation and informativity of multiple cues to a linguistic contrast are conditioned by the articulatory constraints present at different speech rates.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2624-2635"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143803701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, lowering the working frequencies of SFAMs may increase the device size, limiting their applications and raising production costs. To address these issues, this study proposes compact SFAM acoustic amplifiers operating in low frequencies, where their working frequencies are flexibly controlled by engineering effective density without increasing device size. Further experiments have demonstrated the capability of wide range frequency control of SFAM through engineering its effective density. The experimental results clearly indicate that the low frequency tuning of SFAMs results from controlling SFAMs' channel width gradients, which is associated with the spatial distribution of metamaterial's effective density. Further studies reveal that compared to the gradient density distribution method in SFAMs, the step density distribution method may have superior low frequency control of acoustic waves, which are capable of frequency tuning of SFAM acoustic amplifier over one octave band. This work provides possibilities for the development of low frequency acoustic amplifiers, where the merits include compact size, lightweight, and low cost, which are highly desirable for acoustics sensing and noise control applications.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2465-2472"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143772607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, acoustic evidence suggests that the voiceless vs aspirated contrast might be marginal because of small differences in voice onset time (VOT) and large differences in the following vowel height (F1). This raises the question of how these cues are weighted in the perception of the voicing contrast. This paper presents a series of experiments designed to see if Madurese listeners discriminate differences in the positive VOT range, and to what extent they use VOT and F1 to identify plosives. Although listeners were able to discriminate between VOT differences of naturally occurring magnitudes in an AXB task, use of positive VOT when distinguishing voiceless from aspirated plosives in a three alternative forced choices task was highly individually specific, even when F1 was uninformative. Conversely, negative VOT emerged as a more robust cue to the voiced category. These results suggest that the Madurese laryngeal contrast is primarily a two-way contrast signaled through differences in (pre-)voicing but not aspiration. The weak but reliable acoustic covariance between vowel height and aspiration may instead have a diachronic and/or physiological-aerodynamic basis.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2365-2375"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143763423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, continuous sonication through the skull introduces significant wave interactions, complicating precise energy delivery to the target. This study presents a comprehensive examination of intracranial acoustic fields generated by focused ultrasound transducers and assesses the characteristics of cranial bone that affect acoustic transmission. Acoustic field maps were generated at 88 regions of interest across 10 historical and 2 Thiel-embalmed human skull specimens with sonication at frequencies of 220, 650, and 1000 kHz. The average peak pressure insertion losses for historical skulls were 3.6 ± 3.4, 9.3 ± 3.3, and 14.8 ± 5.8 dB, respectively, and for Thiel skulls, the respective losses were 2.9 ± 1.8, 9.4 ± 2.6, and 17.0 ± 5.5 dB. The effects of skull thickness, skull density ratio, and skull curvature on intracranial peak pressure, power, and focal area were investigated and linear fits produced. Several unfavorable focusing performances were observed in regions with excessive thickness variation. The effects of angulation and spacing between the transducer and the skull were also investigated. Preliminary findings indicate that wave superposition resulting from skull and transducer spacing could lead to a 30%-40% uncertainty in peak recorded intracranial pressure.","PeriodicalId":17168,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Acoustical Society of America","volume":"157 4","pages":"2336-2349"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143764026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
