Sonic Phantoms: Composition with Auditory Phantasmatic Presence
by Barbara Ellison Thomas Bey BaileyIn this book, Barbara Ellison and Thomas B. W. Bailey lay out and explore the mystifying and evanescent musical territory of 'sonic phantoms': auditory illusions within the musical material that convey a 'phantasmatic' presence. Structured around a large body of compositional work developed by Ellison over the past decade, sonic phantoms are revealed and illustrated as they arise through a diverse array of musical sources, materials, techniques, and compositional tools: voices (real and synthetic), field recordings, instrument manipulation, object amplification, improvisation, and recording studio techniques. Somehow inherent in all music--and perhaps in all sound--sonic phantoms lurk and stalk with the promise of mystery and elevation. We just need to conjure them.

Sonic Rebellions: Sound and Social Justice
by Wanda CantonSonic Rebellions combines theory and practice to consider contemporary uses of sound in the context of politics, philosophy, and protest, by exploring the relationship between sound and social justice, with particular attention to sonic methodologies not necessarily conceptualised or practiced in traditional understandings of activism.An edited collection written by artists, academics, and activists, many of the authors have multidimensional experiences as practitioners themselves, and readers will benefit from never-before published doctoral and community projects, and innovative, audio-based interpretations of social issues today. Chapters cover the use of soundscapes, rap, theatre, social media, protest, and song, in application to contemporary socio-political issues, such as gentrification, neoliberalism, criminalisation, democracy, and migrant rights. Sonic Rebellions looks to encourage readers to become, or consider how they are, Sonic Rebels themselves, by developing their own practices and reflections in tandem to continue the conversation as to how sound permeates our sociopolitical lives.This is an essential resource for those interested in how sound can change the world, including undergraduates and postgraduates from across the social sciences and humanities, scholars and instructors of sound studies and sound production, as well as activists, artists, and community organisers.

Sonic Skills: Listening for Knowledge in Science, Medicine and Engineering (1920s-Present)
by Karin BijsterveldIt is common for us today to associate the practice of science primarily with the act of seeing—with staring at computer screens, analyzing graphs, and presenting images. We may notice that physicians use stethoscopes to listen for disease, that biologists tune into sound recordings to understand birds, or that engineers have created Geiger tellers warning us for radiation through sound. But in the sciences overall, we think, seeing is believing. This open access book explains why, indeed, listening for knowledge plays an ambiguous, if fascinating, role in the sciences. For what purposes have scientists, engineers and physicians listened to the objects of their interest? How did they listen exactly? And why has listening often been contested as a legitimate form of access to scientific knowledge? This concise monograph combines historical and ethnographic evidence about the practices of listening on shop floors, in laboratories, field stations, hospitals, and conference halls, between the 1920s and today. It shows how scientists have used sonic skills—skills required for making, recording, storing, retrieving, and listening to sound—in ensembles: sets of instruments and techniques for particular situations of knowledge making. Yet rather than pleading for the emancipation of hearing at the expense of seeing, this essay investigates when, how, and under which conditions the ear has contributed to science dynamics, either in tandem with or without the eye.
Sonic Technologies: Popular Music, Digital Culture and the Creative Process
by Robert StrachanIn the past two decades digital technologies have fundamentally changed the way we think about, make and use popular music. From the production of multimillion selling pop records to the ubiquitous remix that has become a marker of Web 2.0, the emergence of new music production technologies have had a transformative effect upon 21st Century digital culture. Sonic Technologies examines these issues with a specific focus upon the impact of digitization upon creativity; that is, what musicians, cultural producers and prosumers do. For many, music production has moved out of the professional recording studio and into the home. Using a broad range of examples ranging from experimental electronic music to more mainstream genres, the book examines how contemporary creative practice is shaped by the visual and sonic look and feel of recording technologies such as Digital Audio Workstations.

Sonification Design: From Data to Intelligible Soundfields (Human–Computer Interaction Series)
by David WorrallThe contemporary design practice known as data sonification allows us to experience information in data by listening. In doing so, we understand the source of the data in ways that support, and in some cases surpass, our ability to do so visually. In order to assist us in negotiating our environments, our senses have evolved differently. Our hearing affords us unparalleled temporal and locational precision. Biological survival has determined that the ears lead the eyes. For all moving creatures, in situations where sight is obscured, spatial auditory clarity plays a vital survival role in determining both from where the predator is approaching or to where the prey has escaped. So, when designing methods that enable listeners to extract information from data, both with and without visual support, different approaches are necessary. A scholarly yet approachable work by one of the recognized leaders in the field of auditory design, this book will - Lead you through some salient historical examples of how non-speech sounds have been used to inform and control people since ancient times. - Comprehensively summarize the contemporary practice of Data Sonification. - Provide a detailed overview of what information is and how our auditory perceptions can be used to enhance our knowledge of the source of data. - Show the importance of the dynamic relationships between hearing, cognitive load, comprehension, embodied knowledge and perceptual truth. - Discuss the role of aesthetics in the dynamic interplay between listenability and clarity. - Provide a mature software framework that supports the practice of data sonification design, together with a detailed discussion of some of the design principles used in various examples. David Worrall is an internationally recognized composer, sound artist and interdisciplinary researcher in the field of auditory design. He is Professor of Audio Arts and Acoustics at Columbia College Chicago and a former elected president of the International Community for Auditory Display (ICAD), the leading organization in the field since its inception over 25 years ago.Code and audio examples for this book are available athttps://github.com/david-worrall/springer/ Here is an excellent review of the book by Dr Gregory Kramer: “Worrall proceeds bravely through the trees and vines of philosophy, information theory, aesthetics, and other contributors to sonification design theory. It’s a feat. He nails all of this down with the specific implementation system he’s designed over many years, and applies his theories to specific problems. In a field of research still in its first half century and setting its bearings in a world where human perception has become a sideshow to machine learning, deep learning, and artificial intelligence, the roots David provides will serve well.” Dr Gregory Kramer is the founding figure in the emerging field of sonification, founded the International Conference on Auditory Display (ICAD) and editor of the first book in the field, "Auditory Display: Sonification, Audification and Auditory Interfaces" (Addison Wesley, 1994).
Sonne, Mond und ... Schwarze Löcher: Ein Streifzug durch die moderne Astrophysik (Facetten)
by Eckehard MielkeDieses Buch gibt in allgemeinverständlicher Form einen Überblick über die älteste aller Wissenschaften: Die Astronomie. Angefangen bei den frühen Mayas, über Ptolemäus, Kopernikus, Kepler, Newton und Einstein, wird das menschliche Bemühen dargestellt, den Lauf von Sonne, Mond und Planeten, einschließlich dem der Erde, zu verstehen. Die Weltraumfahrt dieses Jahrhunderts und neue "Fenster zum All" im Bereich der Radio-, Infrarot-, Röntgen- und Neutrinostrahlung haben es ermöglicht, die physikalischen Eigenschaften der Sonne, der Sterne und unserer Milchstraße besser zu deuten. Für den Menschen ist natürlich die Lebensgeschichte und Stabilität des "Fusionsreaktors" Sonne von zentralem Interesse. Massenreiche Sterne können nach einer Supernova-Explosion Neutronensterne bzw. Pulsare bilden oder erleiden einen vollständigen Gravitationskollaps zum Schwarzen Loch. Mit verbesserten Beobachtungsinstrumenten und -methoden verdichten sich die Hinweise auf die Existenz solcher exotischen, kompakten Himmelsobjekte. (...) außerordentlich gut gelungene sprachliche Form (...) und (...) Insgesamt kann man sagen, dass es sich bei dem vorliegenden Werk um eine gelungene Übersicht der Astrophysik handelt, (...) junge Wissenschaft Ausgabe Nr.48, S.63 im November 1997 Rezension erschienen in "Praxis der Naturwissenschaften", Nr. 3, S. 46 April 1998 (...)

Sonnenenergie: Physikalische Grundlagen und thermische Anwendungen (Teubner Studienbücher Physik)
by Volker WittwerDas Interesse an der Nutzung und Entwicklung regenerativer Ener giequellen ist trotz der derzeitigen vorübergehenden Entspannung auf dem Primärenergiemarkt groß. Die Erfahrungen der Vergangen hei t. insbesondere in Verbindung mit der ölkrise der siebziger Jahre. ebenso wie das Wissen um die Erschöpfbarkei t der Lag- und Rohstoffen und die negativen Aus stätten von Primärenergie wirkungen der Nutzung der meisten Energieträger auf die Umwelt sind tief im Bewußtsein vieler Bürger verankert. Die Katastrophe von Tschernobyl und andere Vorfälle haben starke Zweifel an der Zukunft der Kernenergie geweckt. Angesichts der unleugbaren Tatsache. daß uns im nächsten Jahrhun dert nur noch wenige Energiequellen zur Verfügung stehen werde- darunter. durch ihre Umweltfreundlichkeit besonders herausgehoben. die regenerativen Energien muß deren Weiterentwicklung von höchster Priorität sein. insbesondere. wenn man bedenkt. daß bis zur Etablierung neuer Energieoptionen auf dem Markt sehr lange Zeiträume erforderlich sind. Das Thema dieses Buches ist die Umwandlung der Sonnenenergie in Wärme. eine Technik. die langfristig die Perspektive eines großen Bei trags zur volkswirtschaftlichen Energiebilanz beinhaI tet. Der Ausgangspunkt war das Manuskript einer Vorlesung. die einer von uns (A. G.) an der Universität für Physikstudenten hielt. Die Beschränkung auf das erwähnte Thema ergab sich sowohl aus Gründen der Priorität. als auch aus dem vorgesehenen Umfang des Buches. Andere Manifestationen der Solar- bzw. regenerativen Energie. wie z. B. die Windenergie oder die Energie aus Biomasse. sind sicherlich von ebenso großer Bedeutung. konnten aber wegen der erwähnten Beschränkung nicht zum Zuge kommen.

Sonochemistry: An Emerging Green Technology
by Suresh C. Ameta Rakshit Ameta Garima AmetaTraditionally heat and light are thought as energy sources to drive a particular chemical reaction, but now ultrasound is a promising energy source for this purpose. The collapse of a bubble generates a wide range of high temperatures and pressures, and therefore, use of ultrasound has a considerable potential in chemical and allied sciences. Ultrasound-assisted reactions are green and economically viable alternatives to conventional techniques. This new volume presents a complete picture of ultrasound-assisted reactions and technologies that can be used in organic synthesis, polymer synthesis and degradation, nanomaterials, wastewater treatment, food ingredients and products, pharmaceutical applications, bioenergy applications, and more. This volume aims to shed light on the diversified applications of ultrasound and its significant role as a green chemical pathway. Sonochemistry deals with the effect of ultrasonic waves on chemical systems. It has green value because of non-hazardous acoustic radiation and is therefore duly recognized as a green chemistry by synthetic chemists as well as environmentalists. There is no direct interaction of ultrasound with molecular species, but the observed chemical and physical effects of ultrasound are due to the cavitational collapse, which produces drastic conditions of temperature and pressure locally. It induces the formation of various chemical species, which cannot be easily attained under conventional conditions. Sometimes, these species are responsible for driving towards an unusual reactivity in molecular entities. This book, Sonochemistry: An Emerging Green Technology, provides the complete development of sonochemistry, starting with an introduction and basic concepts of sonochemistry and proceeding on to different types of sonochemical reactions, instrumentation, use of ultrasound in driving particular chemical reactions, and its applications in various fields, such as polymer synthesis, decontamination of water and wastewater, preparation of nanomaterials, food technology, pharmaceutical sciences, etc. The book also briefly discusses some areas that utilize ultrasounds of different frequencies. These include food products and their processing; anaerobic digestion of waste; and medical applications such as ultrasonography, sonodynamic therapy, drug delivery, etc. Sonochemistry will be successfully used on an industrial scale in pharmaceutical drugs, polymers, nanomaterials, food technology, material science, biogas production, etc. in years to come and will be an established green chemical technology of the future.

Sonochemistry: From Basic Principles to Innovative Applications (Topics in Current Chemistry Collections)
by Juan Carlos Colmenares Gregory ChatelThe series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant developments of the last 5 to 10 years are presented using selected examples to illustrate the principles discussed. The coverage is not intended to be an exhaustive summary of the field or include large quantities of data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the information presented. Contributions also offer an outlook on potential future developments in the field.
Sonocrystallization of Fats (SpringerBriefs in Food, Health, and Nutrition)
by Silvana MartiniSonocrystallization of Fats will summarize the latest research efforts and discoveries in the relatively new area of sonocrystallization of edible lipids. Ultrasound has been used extensively in the past to induce the crystallization of molecules. Until recently, however, very little work has been done using power ultrasound to induce the crystallization of edible lipids and understand how the phenomena applies in these systems. Power ultrasound is used in fats to induce their crystallization and to generate small crystals, which ultimately result in a harder material. Since the elimination of trans-fats from food products, novel processing technologies have been sought to improve the functional properties of low saturated, no-trans lipids. Power ultrasound can be used as a new processing condition to modify the crystallization of fats and tailor their functional properties to specific food uses. This Springer Brief will describe recent research performed in the area of sonocrystallization of fats and the possible application in the food industry. An overview of ultrasound theories will be presented at the beginning of the book followed by a brief description of the uses of power ultrasound in the food industry. Description of recent research in the area of fat sonocrystallization and detailed information regarding the experimental conditions used, such as type of equipment and ultrasound settings, will be presented. The book will end with a description of the future trends in sonocrystallization of fats in the food industry.
