Honey bees play a crucial role in agricultural productivity and ecological stability, yet their interactions with environmental stressors, particularly volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and pollutants, pose significant challenges to their cognitive f...
Elephant sound identification is crucial in wildlife conservation and ecological research. The identification of elephant vocalizations provides insights into the behavior, social dynamics, and emotional expressions, leading to elephant conservation....
Bowel sounds, a reflection of the gastrointestinal tract's peristalsis, are essential for diagnosing and monitoring gastrointestinal conditions. However, the absence of an effective, non-invasive method for assessing digestion through auscultation ha...
Arc sound signals are considered appropriate for detecting penetration states in cold metal transfer (CMT) welding because of their noninvasive nature and immunity to interference from splatter and arc light. Nevertheless, the stability of arc sound ...
BACKGROUND: Performing simulated snoring (SS) is a commonly used method to evaluate the source of snoring in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). SS sounds is considered as a potential biomarker for OSA. SS sounds can be easily recorded, which is a cost-ef...
In order to assess risk of mosquito-vector borne disease and to effectively target and monitor vector control efforts, accurate information about mosquito vector population densities is needed. The traditional and still most common approach to this i...
People with hearing impairments often face increased risks related to traffic accidents due to their reduced ability to perceive surrounding sounds. Given the cost and usage limitations of traditional hearing aids and cochlear implants, this study ai...
BACKGROUND: Esophageal motility disorders are mainly evaluated with high-resolution manometry (HRM) which is a time-consuming and uncomfortable procedure with potential adverse events. Acoustic characterization of the swallowing has the potential to ...
