  1. 11. A ringing phone : The distracting effect of ringtones

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljöpsykologi

    Author : Robin Liljenberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Ringtones; Attentional capture; Looming effect; Irrelevant sound; Masking noise; Serial recall;

    Abstract : Ringing phones are common in work space environments in the 21th century and while capturing the attention of the call-taker they also tend to disrupt people in the surrounding environment. This study aims to investigate the attentional capturing effect of ringtones by comparing sudden and increasing onsets with quiet and noise masking conditions while participants undertook a test of short-term memory for serial order (serial recall).

  3. 12. Attentional capture by a looming ringtone

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Miljöpsykologi

    Author : Robin Liljenberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Ringtones; Attentional capture; Looming effect; Irrational sound; Masking noise; Serial recall; Error management;

    Abstract : Ringtones are a common distracting sound in modern workspaces. In an earlierexperiment, ringtones increasing in volume (looming) produced greater attentional capture effectin the context of serial short-term memory, than ringtones with sudden onsets that decreased involume (receding).

  4. 13. Video Quality Metric improvement using motion and spatial masking

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för visuell information och interaktion

    Author : Henrik Näkne; [2016]
    Keywords : Video Quality Metrics; Optical Flow;

    Abstract : Objective video quality assessment is of great importance in video compression and other video processing applications. In today's encoders Peak Signal to Noise Ratio or Sum of Absolute Differences are often used, though these metrics have limited correlation to perceived quality. READ MORE

  5. 14. Assessing auditory function in neonates using ipsilateral suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Logopedi, foniatri och audiologi

    Author : Lovisa Falkman Johnsson; [2012]
    Keywords : Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions; Ipsilateral suppression; Neonates; Newborn; Efferent System; Medial olivocochlear bundle; Medicine and Health Sciences;

    Abstract : The present study investigated suppression of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in neonates with an ipsilateral noise suppressor method using a forward masking paradigm. Participants were 26 full-term neonates (36-42 weeks gestational age) with a mean gestational age of 39.7 weeks (SD = 1.4 weeks) and mean chronological age of 1. READ MORE

  6. 15. Construction and Performance Evaluation of QC-LDPC Codes over Finite Fields

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

    Author : Sohail Noor; Ihsan Ullah; [2010]
    Keywords : Low Density Parity Check LDPC codes; Finite Fields;

    Abstract : Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes are one of the block coding techniques that can approach the Shannon’s limit within a fraction of a decibel for high block lengths. In many digital communication systems these codes have strong competitors of turbo codes for error control. READ MORE
