  3. 2. Evaluating forest restoration effects on timing of avian dawn chorus in Ranomafana National Park, Madagascar

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

    Author : Marjolein Pijper; [2023]
    Keywords : acoustic monitoring; forest restoration; dawn chorus; avian singing; bird monitoring; automatic recognition;

    Abstract : Monitoring of forest restoration efforts is essential to ensure healthy, self-sustaining tropical rainforests. Passive acoustic monitoring is used to monitor vocal activity of birds, which play a key role in forest ecosystems as seed dispersers. READ MORE

  4. 3. Emotional Prosody in Adverse Acoustic Conditions : Investigating effects of emotional prosody and noise-vocoding on speech perception and emotion recognition

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

    Author : Cecilia Ivarsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Speech perception; Emotional prosody; Emotion recognition; Noise-vocoding; Working memory capacity;

    Abstract : Speech perception is a fundamental function of successful vocal communication, and through prosody, we can communicate different emotions. The ability to recognize emotions is important in social interaction. Emotional prosody facilitates emotion recognition in vocal communication. READ MORE

  5. 4. Computational Design in the AEC industry : Applications and Limitations

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Rasmus Mikaelsson; [2022]
    Keywords : Parametric design; generative design; design automation; design exploration; architectural engineering construction;

    Abstract : The AEC-industry need to respond to multiple requirements from regulations and clients, leading to that building projects are becoming increasingly complex to handle for designers. CAD or computer aided design is a way to handle these challenges, and within CAD a new method is emerging: Computational design enables users to generate and explore design solutions automatically.
