Fan favorites from UTOPiAfest, Shane Cooley and Lori Ellen sit down to perform two acoustic songs and share the dynamic and delightful stories of collaboration, songwriting, and recharging after live performances. Shane Cooley's nuanced lyrics stand at the forefront of his hauntingly alternative folk music. Cooley's newest album, Forest (released April 2022), continues to receive airplay and acclaim, both in the U.S. and internationally. “(Forest) stands out for its peculiar production and lyrical beauty, which is highly remarkable considering that Cooley himself played all the instruments and produced this work in its entirety,” wrote Javier Rodriquez of Right Chord Music. Lori Ellen is a folk singer-songwriter who transforms her shadow into light as musical alchemy and shares her song because "art is the way we transform into beauty." She delivers steady, polished vocals backed by raw honesty. Find out more about each of them at: https://www.shanecooley.com/music and https://www.loriellenmusic.com/

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.29.526133v1?rss=1 Authors: Albouy, P., Mehr, S. A., Hoyer, R. S., Ginzburg, J., Zatorre, R. J. Abstract: Humans produce two primary forms of vocal communication: speaking and singing. What is the basis for these two categories? Is the distinction between them based primarily on culturally specific, learned features, or do consistent acoustical cues exist that reliably distinguish speech and song worldwide? Some studies have suggested that important aspects of music can be distinguished from speech based on spectro-temporal modulation patterns, but this conclusion is based on Western music, leaving open the question of whether such a principle may apply more globally. Here, we studied the spectro-temporal modulation patterns of vocalizations produced by 369 people living in 21 urban, rural, and small-scale societies distributed across six continents. We show that specific ranges of spectral and temporal modulations differentiate speech from song in a consistent fashion, and that those ranges overlap within categories and across societies. Machine-learning analyses confirmed that this effect was cross-culturally robust, with vocalizations reliably classified solely from their spectro-temporal modulation patterns across all 21 societies. Listeners unfamiliar with most of the cultures could also classify the vocalizations, with similar accuracy patterns as the machine learning algorithm, indicating that the spectro-temporal cues used by the classifier are similar to those used by human listeners. Thus, the two most basic forms of human vocalization appear to exploit opposite extremes of the spectro-temporal continuum in a consistent fashion across societies. The findings support the idea that the human nervous system is specialized to produce and perceive two distinct ranges of spectro-temporal modulation in the service of the two distinct modes of human vocal communication.

In the second half of Cheryl’s conversation with Rebecca Donner, they discuss The Women in Healthcare Initiative which began in Washington DC about two years ago, to elevate the professional development of women in healthcare -- both the providers and the businesses that support the providers. “The networking and the mentorship, and simply the acceleration of careers provided by the membership has been outstanding,” shares Rebecca. “We were stunned when we found out there wasn’t a membership chapter in Nashville, so we started one.”  This and more on the changing face of healthcare design from this passionate 30-year healthcare design veteran. ‘Show-Me State’ native Rebecca Donner made her way to Nashville to earn an interior design degree at O’More College of Design. After graduating and completing challenging internship work, she found her calling in commercial healthcare interior design work. In 1993 this led her to found an interior design firm that specializes in health care design. Inner Design Studio began with one client and one employee. Today the 12 person firm handles numerous projects a year. Nashville’s leading healthcare interior design firm, Inner Design Studio is a strong team of experienced designers who have completed more than 891 medical facilities throughout the country. Rebecca has published articles in Healthcare Design Magazine, Medical Construction & Design Magazine, Floor Focus Magazine and Health Facilities Management Magazine.

In part two of Cheryl’s conversation today with Rebecca Donner, you will learn: What is the Women in Healthcare Initiative and how can other women in the healthcare industry participate?  With 900 projects in 26 years, what is Rebecca’s favorite project and why?  Why construction in California takes so much longer than in other states. The pushback in the early days of hospitality-influenced hospital design. How did Rebecca find her way into healthcare design work? The benefits of having a smaller team. How hospitals can raise HCAPS based on the design of the environment. Why janitorial services are at the top of the list of what needs to change in healthcare. Design trends for 2020 and beyond. Acoustical privacy and its growing importance in the hospital setting.

K-LIFE can easily be integrated into many applications – from wall coverings and claddings for ceilings, to custom tables, bars, sinks, shelving units and furniture. The application of K-LIFE in areas with high daily traffic, such as waiting rooms or reception areas, can assure a gradual decontamination of germs and lead to ongoing ecological benefits. Some research performed with KRION® K-LIFE, which has photocatalytic properties, proved that the material can significantly reduce the presence of bacteria. This revolutionary process has led to a patent pending, innovative, and exclusive product that will have a direct effect on our quality of life.

When comparing decibel values, that best way to think about it is to consider how decibel values combine. For example, the combination of a sound having a level of 50 dB, and a second sound having an equal sound level of 50 dB is 53 dB. In shorthand (but not arithmetically correct) 50 dB, quote-unquote, plus 50 dB is 53 dB. This gives us a good rule of thumb to live by: Two equal sound levels combine to be 3 decibels greater than the individual. 65 dB "+" 65 dB = 68 dB When two sound levels differ by 10 decibels or more, when combined, the lesser level can be ignored. 65 dB + 75 dB = 75 dB Learn more about our company at www.ussi.com. We want to hear from you so please send us your questions at podcast@ussi.com.

Decibel boundaries. Zero decibels is the threshold of human hearing; that is, 0 dB is the minimum sound level an average listener can hear when no other sound is present. At 120 to 140 decibels, sound pressure is great enough to cause our ears to begin to hurt. So nearly all sounds we typically encounter fall between 0 and 120 decibels. We can even narrow that range down a bit. For everyday purposes, a bedroom will typically be in the 35-45 decibel range and a typical office environment will be around 45 to 55 decibels. When we speak to each other from arms' length away, we hear about 60 decibels. When we shout at each other from arms length away, the level jumps up to 80 or 90 decibels. In terms of "how loud," sound levels at or greater than about 85 decibels, such as a lawnmower when mowing, are considered loud. Sound levels of 100 decibels or more are very loud, can feel unpleasant, and can cause hearing damage in less than 1 hour of exposure. Typical amplified music concerts are typically over 100 decibels and can reach 120 decibels or more.

Alex U. Case is an Associate Professor of Sound Recording Technology at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and, as you’ll discover in this episode, the audio world’s foremost sleuth - the Sherlock Holmes of audio techniques. Professor Case’s research and professional activities focus on the technical foundations, creative motivations, and aesthetic merits of recording and signal processing techniques used. Alex is a Fellow of both the Audio Engineering Society and the Acoustical Society of America and served as President of the AES from 2017-2018.

Whether or not we’re aware of it, architects create soundscapes when we design spaces. Here we describe technical concepts to understand and incorporate into your acoustical considerations.

Ahead of the concert at Cadogan Hall, London on Sunday 18th February, composer David Roche talks with Toby Purser, the Conductor and Artistic Director of Orion Orchestra, giving an insight in to the musical process and procedures behind Acoustical Anatomy. "Toby and I had to record our responses to questions at different times in different places owing to busy schedules but it's quite fun to notice the similarity in some of the responses" said David.

How do we talk? And how do we sing? Most of us walk around making sound all day without any real idea of how we do it. We'll speak with vocologist Ingo Titze about how the human voice sings, the parts of a human singing voice, and more. We'll also speak with Tecumseh Fitch about why we talk... but monkeys don't. The reason? They've got the voice, but not the brains. We've even got some creepy recordings. Related links: Ingo's tips for tired voices: grab a straw!

Many animals, humans included, are natural-born criers. It’s the most basic form of communication from right when we come into the world. But us humans are unique: we keep on crying until the day we die. What was born as a survival mechanism, develops a deeper fundamental need as we grow older. In this episode, we discover the hard-wiring in our brains that reach across species, and how our tears into adulthood make us distinctively human.

Všimli jste si taky toho, že se teď ve všech reklamách objevuje: „XY s příběhem?“ Taky vám to už leze krkem? Přijde vám, že na většině míst je to úplně nelogicky? Že tam jedinej „příběh“ je to slovo v claimu? Je mi moc líto co se stalo s „příběhy“ v marketingu. Respektive je mi líto toho, že se vytratila podstata co příběhy v marketingu znamenají. Místo skutečného vyprávění se nám dostává jen: „tohle má příběh, to chceš.“ Už tu cestu, všichni ti Pokustóni, při hledání jednoduššího sdělení zkrátili až moc. Je mi z toho smutno hlavně proto, že pro mě jsou příběhy jednou z nejpozoruhodnějších věcí na lidské kultuře a společnosti vůbec. Proč by vás to mělo zajímat? A proč zatraceně teda všichni prodávají „šroubky a hmoždinky s příběhem?“ O tom, že všichni chceme být pochopení a dosáhnout uznání. O tom, že dobří lháři jsou nejlepší vypravěči.

Welcome to MixCritMonday, the show where we critique YOUR mixes. In the hotseat this month is Caleb Rodriguez. Caleb submitted a metalcore mix for us to crit and after a little investigation we figured out that he was making two major mistakes: He used little to no reference material His source tracks were not ready for mixing, yet he didn't fix them We also discovered that his mixing environment was an acoustical mess and that he was compensating by mixing in headphones, a big no no. Considering he wasn't even using reference material to get his bearings, Caleb was basically his own worst enemy on this mix. The combination of unedited, poorly performed tracks with an unreliable listening space placed a glass ceiling on how good his mix could actually get.  In this episode you'll learn about: Acoustical room treatments for under $200 How to properly use reference mixes Steps to take if you mixing environment is sub par Which little details make a huge difference in a guitar tone Replacing an out of tune bass with a synth bass Mid range buildups that can make a mix hard to listen to Want us to crit your mix? Click here to find out how!

Show Log Episode 142, May 5, 2014 Guest: Noelle Romano, voice coach from Edge Studio George presents a “Whittam's World” on pre-fab vs. DIY isolation booths Dan talks about World Voice Over (WoVO) membership 0:04:40 Dan talks about WoVO Con One, the first conference of World Voice-Over. One of the best he's been to. It began two years ago, as an industry organization for voice-over. Coming up: resources and people so WoVO can be the “voice of the people who speak for a living,” all over the world. There's now a plan for a special website to promote members' work. Join WoVO to help make the industry better for everyone. To learn more go to: http://www.worldvo.org/ The meeting was very productive. There was a demo of all three online ISDN replacements. People worked together. 0:11:04 George asked what it takes to join. You have to be a working professional. It's a member-driven organization. 0:14:32 Break 0:16:47 They're back. The latest with Studio Suit: Dan has a bunch and will ship! Hang it up and it works. http://www.vostudiosuit.com/ 0:17:25 George's “Whittam's World” (Episode 22) on isolation booths: build your own or pre fab? The “usual suspects” in pre-fab are similar and start at $4000. 1) George suggests consider looking at resale value if you may have to move soon. 2) Did you consider buying a used booth? Not so hard in L.A., but elsewhere it might be harder. Used booths can cost $3000 and hold their value pretty well. 3) Do you have time to build a booth? Are you missing work without the booth? The do it yourself booths take a lot of time to put together, far longer than you might expect. 4) How good are you at building? Do you have skilled friends? Dawbox plans aren't the best and depend on your skills in building. 5) Acoustical treatments—all these need more than what they come with. They need denim panels (http://www.atsacoustics.com/) or other material. Some booths have pre attached foam that you need to work around. NONE have adequate acoustical treatment out of the box. Send questions for “Whittam's World” to George at whittamsworld@edgestudio.com. For one-on-one consulting, go to http://vostudiotech.com/ The video ended at 0:26:49. 0:26:50 George continues discussing the topic. George talks about Scott Peterson of L.A. (on Facebook) who makes collapsable, custom booths. https://www.facebook.com/scottsvobooths. Not available out of L.A. area. He cautions: often, the better the isolation, the worse the acoustics. It takes effort to make it all work. 0:29:19 Break 0:30:45 They're back, with a rant about looping software. 0:31:16 Noelle comes on. She introduces herself and how she got into VO. 0:35:45 She specializes in coaching children! 0:38:40 George asks what if he brought Ella in. 0:40:30 What does it mean for a kid to be “competitive”? It comes down to how well a kid can take direction and how consistent are they? Are they enjoying it? Are they understanding it? 0:44:37 How important is it for a kid to have an agent? It's important for getting access to bigger brands and clients. Otherwise, it would be a big workload for the parent. It's up to the parent. 0:46:30 George asked about successful kids. Noelle tells of a mom who made sure her daughter got lessons as well as work. 0:49:50 Live spot for Edge Studios. 0:51:01 George talks about his month-long special on TwistedWave effect stacks for $37.50. Coupon code: TWStackMay14. 0:51:53 Q: Do you teach Skype sessions, Noelle? A: Yes! 0:52:25 Q: What percentage of work is going to actual kids compared to adults doing kids? A: It depends on the style of the show. In the pre-school world, it's more likely to be a kid. For ages 7-14 and above, it tends to be adults doing kid voices. A problem with kid voices is that the kids grow up and their voices change! 0:54:43 Q: Does child acting work translate to adolescent and adult work? A: Noelle said it does, it can. 0:55:45 Q: Do you advocate a rounded acting education? A: Most of her kid clients are doing that. It comes down to the kid. 0:57:27 Q: Should you (the adult VO actor) choose a coach who is close to your own vocal style? A: Noelle thinks that can help, while not totally necessary. See her at NoRoVO.com. She advocates trying a lot of different teachers to cover a variety of learning styles. 0:58:40 Q: Is there work for kids not in L.A.? A: For kids, you typically want them in the room. You might, here and there, do an ISDN session once work is booked. The bulk of L.A. work is in person. Dan adds: NEVER direct your own kids! They can get surly. 1:00:03 Q: How much do you seek talent via auditions from agents or pay-to-play sites? A: Noelle has seen roles go to new talent, when the tried and true talent a studio is used to doesn't meet the need. The animation world in L.A. is a tough bubble to pop. Competition is intense. Producers love to have choices, assuming the talent isn't a celebrity. 1:02:50 Break 1:04:19 Dan is back with echo. Next week's guest is HARLAN HOGAN! 1:05:00 Go over to Voiceover Essentials, http://voiceoveressentials.com/, for the best collection of VO gear. Harlan will have a preview of a new mixer next week, including the mixer's makers. 1:07:30 Dan on travel fatigue. 1:08:30 Thanks to the sustaining donors. 1:09:29 EWABS t-shirt. George made the mistake of asking about the design. 1:09:55 T SPRING coming: the shirt will be for sale for a limited time and quantity. The proceeds will let George build a Windows computer for the show. Stay tuned for news on the shirt. 1:11:20 Q: Is the show streamed over YouTube Live? A: That's something the new computer will be able to do once we add some horse power in the graphics card. 1:12:50 If anyone can help create EWABS Essentials segments, George would train. 1:13:55 Show notes are “hot clickable” in YouTube. 1:14:26 Next week, Harlan; May 19: The Elusive Doug Terkel and a marketing for VO roundtable. May 26: Dark, no show. 1:15:13 In June, two audiobook producers, Debra Deyan and Colleen Marlow from the Deyan Institute http://www.deyaninstitute.com/home.html who offer classes, will be guests. 1:15:29 Thanks to sponsors, Harlan Hogan, Voice-Over Xtra, Edge Studios and Home Voice Over Studio (Dan) http://www.homevoiceoverstudio.com/. George is way behind, so feel free to drop your audio sample into Dan's “specimen cup.” 1:17:15 Thanks to support staff and wives, and Anthony Gettig for chat room herding, and Lee Pinney for the podcast work. 1:19:21 End of show

Live Acoustic Set from the Peavey Exhibit at the Winter NAMM 2014. Members of BOC perform in great form some of their legendary tracks. :Produced When we were a Prior Publication:

In 1965 Prof. Zadeh published a paper titled Fuzzy Sets in the journal Information and Control. Fuzzy Set theory and Fuzzy Logic has been hailed as a brilliant addition to Set theory. Zadeh is Prof. Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley.TranscriptSpeaker 1: [inaudible].Speaker 2: [00:00:30] Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 3: Hi, my name is Brad swift and I'm the host of today's show. Today's interview is with Professor Lutfi Zada. He is professor emeritus in the electrical engineering and Computer Science Department of the College of Engineering [00:01:00] at UC Berkeley. Professor Zada was trained as an electrical engineer at the University of Toronto where he received a bachelor's degree at MIT where he received a master's and Columbia University where he received a Ph d from 1950 to 1959 Zara was a member of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. He joined the Department of electrical engineering at UC Berkeley in 1959 and served [00:01:30] as its chair from 1963 to 1968 during his tenure as chair, he played a key role in changing the name of the department from electrical engineering to electrical engineering, computer science or [inaudible]. In June, 1965 professor Zada published a paper titled Fuzzy Sets in the Journal Information and control. This paper formalized his seminal fuzzy set theory. In the years since fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic has been hailed as a brilliant [00:02:00] addition to set theory. Speaker 3: The word fuzzy is used to characterize the imprecision and uncertainty of real world phenomena that the theory embraces. Essentially, a fuzzy set is a set whose members have degrees of membership within the range. Zero and one fuzzy set theory permits the gradual assessment of the membership of elements in a set. The membership is described by a value in the interval zero to one fuzzy logic is based on fuzzy set theory where [00:02:30] sets are approximate rather than fixed and exact how's he logic embraces the concept of partial truth where the truth value may range between completely true one and completely false zero. This interview is prerecorded and edited professors Oughta. Thank you very much for joining us on spectrum. It's my player. What do you think it was about being here at Berkeley that got you thinking about fuzzy logic [00:03:00] and the work that you then published? Right? Speaker 4: What did he see? What happened is that I have always been a strong believer in mathematics. I always believed that [inaudible] is solve all problems and simply, and that's what I've learned. You can [inaudible] if you cannot solve the problem with what, you know, learn more and then you go with the, so that was my fear. But then I began to feel that there is a disconnect between the precision of mathematics and the precision [00:03:30] of the real world. So I began to feel that way, uh, in 1960160260 three during sort of that period and my feeling that there is a problem grow in 1964 then when I was visiting New York, this idea occurred to me the same to do is to introduce the concept of a presence at the class, which [00:04:00] does not have sharp boundaries. So instead of talking about something being in a class or not being in a class, you're talking about degrees to which you are a member of a class, which seems to be a very natural sort of a thing. So what is surprising is this very simple national idea was not introduced in mathematics to some degree. It is amazing. There is multivariate logic and long [00:04:30] to validate logic. Truth is a matter of degree and fuzzy logic. Everything is a matter of degree. High geologic follows for, as you said, theater, everything is relative degree. So agenda of ideological is completely different from the agenda. [inaudible] Speaker 3: so do you consider yourself a creative thinker? Speaker 4: I think so, yes. I think this is [00:05:00] my strength. Yours and cut it up with original ideas. That's my sense. There are people who are smarter than I, but they were not creative. In other words, if we took exams, probably they do better, but somehow they are luck. This particular capability. Let's see. So what is something unusual? And I must pat myself on the back. Yes. The people at my [00:05:30] age, you know, I turned 19 continue to do something and tell them, I said we won't get to being a certain kind of environment that allows me to do that. I wrote my first paper [inaudible] 1965 at that time I was chair of the department and we had, I was on editorial boards. I had recognition. I submitted a paper publication during use. We're look for them. [00:06:00] If I were not a member of, they told you the board of that journal. Speaker 4: It wasn't getting turned down but I said, man, I thought of Kirsten. See they published. Know that paper by 1965 paper is the highest side that they put in that journal to NJ 6,000 citations. The next highest cited paper that it still 1,010 times more. Yeah. If a paper has 200 200 citation, that's considered to be [00:06:30] respectable in Europe I think they would be promoted to full professorship. You need at least 50 citations. A many people don't realize that. Yesterday I gave a lecture, he wished there was a little discussion of physiologic and the number of papers with fuzzy in title I or somebody who knows nothing about physiologic. I said, your perception, how many papers you guys are children [00:07:00] have Pfizer entitled because I said was 14 and he is a professor. He was a lecturer. Another suit. I asked somebody else. 50 okay, what is the correct number? 245,000 that's a lot. 245,000 papers with Pfizer and title. That's not something that's as black and white, either some title or southern title. [00:07:30] See how many patterns? 33,000 patterns relate to Pfizer here it's a little bit of question isn't related or unrelated to what degree? This is the picture, so it shows you the degree to which competent people can misunderstand something. So we send the people to reviewers presumably who know a lot and then they say this is piece of nonsense, garbage, whatever, whatever, whatever.Speaker 3: Is this the conservative [00:08:00] nature of the math world and people in mathematics that they're very conservative. They don't want to embrace a new idea, like fuzzy logic. I just Speaker 4: have difficulty in the, unless you're very much in the spirit of what's being done. Let me see if it's very much in the spirit of waste being done. No problems. So if you have four color problem, one pheromones, serum and you prove it, no problem. But if you come up with some [00:08:30] new rules, something, something, something you may have a problem. So at the same thing got placed in music and many other things usic in particular, you know, if you can pull something that is in the spirit of what's been too great but usually a couple of something it's completely different. People would throw to later say to you, which was I happened in music, you know, mineral service here. People like that, you know, very [00:09:00] they told on music this music that you write music is a good example of the situation which uh, which outage or now I'd say of in a certain sense gets you in trouble. Speaker 3: You are listening to k a l x Berkeley. We are talking with professor and Lucky Zada the creator of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic [00:09:30] found its niche in industrial controllers. It was jump-started by a Cillian and Mandani in 1974 with their fuzzy linguistic algorithm to control the steam edge. The fuzzy vacation of industrial controllers took off cement kilns and Denmark subway trains in Sendai City, Japan, elevators, consumer products like cam quarters washing machines, back home cleaners and cars. Professor Zada attributes the success of fuzzy algorithms [00:10:00] to two concepts. He introduced linguistic variables and fuzzy if then rules. The hierarchy of a linguistic variable can be described as follows. Page can be a linguistic variable. Age is made up of, for example, three fuzzy sets named very young, young and old. The membership function. Each of these sets is mapped onto a numerical scale of values. In this case zero to 100 [00:10:30] years old. Each data element can be then tested for its degree of set membership. The higher the degree associated with an element in a given set, the more reliable the membership. The importance of this concept is how widely linguistic variables can be applied to problems. If you can describe what it is you want to know or how you want a system to behave, you can build a linguistic algorithm and compute. Speaker 4: But [00:11:00] the, and let me explain why there were so many applications. So I wrote my first paper in 1965 in 1973 I wrote the paper. Yeah, we're trying to use the concept but of a linguistic variable. It didn't really sit variable. And that's why I say key concept. It's a variable whose values itself. Wars. Humans use it all the time. Talk about age. [00:11:30] You can't use numbers one, two, three, four, five. But you can use words young, not young, very young, more or less young, old, not very old village. People use boards instead of numbers. That's the point. So I caught a variable like that linguistic variable, the variables whose values are words, but those words are enablers of pleasure sets. So when [00:12:00] you say town, it is a fight. He said, if I just said it's associated with memories, your function, that means that given that particular height, you could tell it to one degree is the person who that uh, is a member of the class of thought that this is because members, your firms. Speaker 4: So then we seek malleable. It's not just something that takes those matters. He was do that, but he was do not associate, [00:12:30] but your sets with the value. That's a big difference. But once you are associated for, as he said, you can compute with those of sets. And that turned out to be a key Isaiah because there you could program in natural language. So in that people in 1973 feet, I introduce [00:13:00] two basic concepts. One was the kinds of linguistic credible and the other one the Christ. I'm still fuzzy if they're in the room today, the 95% of our application for your logic, use those two pencils and you'll begin to see why it's easier to use natural language and medication. If I asked you how do you park your car, you could [00:13:30] explain it as a natural language, but if I asked you to do it using numbers, you can do it. Speaker 4: I said if you all were there, so many fears, then you wrangling so much, then turn the WM by 70 degrees. Nobody can do that, but people can use words. So you take words and associate those labels with them and then you execute. So people find that they can solve many problems. [00:14:00] A good example is balancing the worth, inverted pendulum stick. So it 10 year old gun, right? The rules. If this angle is low, Marcela's increasing, then give it a big push to traditionary to solve the problem. People use control theater. There are differential equations. They do that not near, not necessarily a 10 year old can solve the problem. Speaker 3: When you were [00:14:30] developing your fuzzy set theory, where are you collaborating with anybody at all? At the university? Speaker 4: Nothing really. I've never been much of a collaborator. That's the way I function. So I've always been like, I'm not saying that this is a good thing. I, I'm pointing to myself as a role model, but I to I think is the opposite. I think students enjoy working closely with a supervisor, [00:15:00] but somehow I was felt more comfortable doing things [inaudible] Speaker 3: do you think your education in some, some manner helps you become more creole? Speaker 4: One of the major with, I went through the systems. Yeah. The which uh, the emphasis was on not that money, but on, uh, education and being a good student. A good relationship [00:15:30] with your professors. It was a very and very wholesome environment. I consider myself to be lucky in that I went through that kind of an environment friendly, friendly and later at the mic and uh, also at Columbia I was also in an environment that does not exist today. Unfortunately today we have money centric environment. Everything revolves [00:16:00] around money. That was not the case when I was a student at MIT when I was a student. Professors didn't know what his demeanor to go for grants, a Washington proposal late in the worries man today, unless you bring some money, they treat you like a piece of dirt. I find it very disconcerting that young people today are brought [00:16:30] up in daddy's where they're told, look, if you don't manage to get money, we will not advance you to tell you. So they have to kill themselves to try to get money. But even what they say when the wars is that the people who tell these young people, unless you got money, we want to advance your team. They know that those young people will not succeed, but they will be able then fire them at some point and [00:17:00] replace them with another cheap and naive young person they see. Right. Speaker 3: Do you see the same sort of tension between publishing and teaching historically in education? Speaker 4: Well, this has always been the case. You know, publish or perish, but they says nothing money, a centricity. This is some other century city. Speaker 3: Well, it sort of goes to the core values of the institution. Is it more important to teach or is it more important to publish? [00:17:30] Well, Speaker 4: it depends. It depends. Of course institutions. I would put Berkeley right at the very top in terms of a enlightened approach to these issues. If I lost all of my money, as I said, there was not big [inaudible] to a small thing. I was 93 days when I get this of dirt, I would be some of the places and if I did not publish and they saying, but I did some good work, I would [00:18:00] still be treated with respect. I may not get promoted that rapidly, but in other places I'm a stereo there that unfortunately these changes have not been for the better and I am very, very anti money. Three city, I see the evil effects a bit all over the place and I'll see in other countries [inaudible] Speaker 3: you are listening to k a l x Berkeley. We are talking with Professor Lockney Zada, [00:18:30] the creator of Fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. Lutfi Zada feels that computing with words can have an impact in fields like biology, medicine and the humanities where conventional mathematical and analytical methods are ill-suited by combining fuzzy logic with other techniques like neural networks, evolutionary computing, machine learning, and probabilistic reasoning. A new kind of computing can be realized. This week it was announced that professors on was inducted into [00:19:00] the artificial intelligence hall of fame launched by the I Tripoli Intelligent Systems magazine. Speaker 4: Do you enjoy the teaching? Yes, very much so. I've always enjoyed teaching now and let's see, I do on myself to be very lucky in that what I like to do and what I had to do were almost always coincident. Now some parts of teaching. Uh, I cannot say that [00:19:30] I like that much. For example, grading, homeworks, grading exams, you don't know, but that's the price that you have to pay. But if somebody asked me what you likes to do something else and not one microsecond, and this is wonderful though, Speaker 3: is there a part of mathematics that you find most intriguing other than what you've focused on Speaker 4: that sort of inspired you? [inaudible] and I think it [00:20:00] is really important. I think it's really important. It has to do with the capability of mathematics to solve computational problems, which are stated in a natural language. So usually when you find a problem in some books on this and then you, no bunch of numbers there, you, when this and this and this one, there is something else. Okay, that's typical problem. But suppose [00:20:30] that you have a property movies instead of numbers, you have words can mathematics. So problems of this kind. That's a question. My answer to that. My contention is no traditional mathematics cannot solve. I know you have simple problems and they give it to people who have been chasing mathematics, going some books on mathematics and we to books and this and that. They cannot solve it. Let me give you a very simple example. Speaker 4: Probably [00:21:00] John is tall. What is the probability that Johnny is short? Not One person has been able to come up with their mathematical solution. People use come and say as they say something but they cannot come with a mathematical solution. So what I have done and what I call computing with words opens that door. You added two mathematics, traditional mathematics [00:21:30] and that mathematics plus computing many words has the capability to solve problems which are stated in action. I think that this is an important capability and what is particularly striking to me is that the only system today computational system or system of computation that has that capability is fuzzy logic based computer with [00:22:00] words. So he will have mathematics, cannot solve problems which are state national language and yet it's quite obvious there are many in the real world, real vibe. There are many problems like that, but people usually solve them using sort of common sense. See, but they cannot be solved mathematically. So I feel that, uh, this is not widely recognized as yet, but I'm beginning to talk about it and beginning [00:22:30] to write about it. Speaker 5: Well, professors Oughta, thank you very much for spending this time with us Speaker 4: in the forgiven. Protect me as an opportunity to vent my views. As you can see, I express myself, uh, somewhat strongly and if I offend somebody, please accept my apology. But they tell me something about the Brahms browns had the sharp down, he was leaving a [00:23:00] party and he had the, I said, we're thinking the point he says, if there is anybody in here who I have not offended, please accept my oppose. [inaudible] Speaker 1: [inaudible]Speaker 5: a regular feature of spectrum just to mention [00:23:30] a few of the science and technology events happening locally over the next few weeks. Here's Rick Karnofsky today August 26 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM professor Elliot Lab with no pitch of the ECS department and the director of the Center for energy efficient electronic science. Well present, searching for the millivolt switch. Moore's law predicts smaller components leading to increased energy efficiency. Well, while wires can operate at very low voltages, current transistors can not can the transistors be replaced with new low voltage switches [00:24:00] that are matched to the fine low voltage wires.

Speaker 5: The theme for September 1st after dark is music and creativity. Explore unique musical instruments made by local artists. Soon came and hear Indian classical music performed by Dr Perrin, Georgia, who research is connections between music [00:26:00] and creativity as the head of the music intelligence group at the Georgia Tech Center for music technology. He'll also share his work on the creation of new technologies for musical self-expression and then you're all basis for musical emotion and the cognitive underpinnings of musical experience. Visit exploratorium.edu for more info now, two new stories, David Lipkit and Chris Todd Hettinger and other researchers right in the August 22nd issue of the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they have discovered a strain of yeast and Patagonia [00:26:30] that they believe is one of the parents of the modern day lager yeast. Saccharomyces pastoral Arianna's loggers are brewed at 39 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. The style is believed to have originated in Germany in the 15th century because low winter temperatures prevent contamination. Speaker 5: However, most Fridays of the common Ailey's sacrum IC survey see are active at higher temperatures. 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Lager, you started domesticated hybrid of the Ale yeast with a cold resistant species. The researcher's notes that the draft [00:27:00] genome sequence of the newly discovered yeast sacrifices you be honest, is 99.5% identical to the Non Ale east portion of the lager yeast genome. The journal Science reports that white researchers are nearly twice as likely as blacks to win grants from the National Institutes of health or the NIH, NIH director Francis Collins notes that she is deeply dismayed and has said that this is simply unacceptable, that there are differences in success that can't be explained. Between 2000 and 2006 [00:27:30] 29% of white applicants received funding, but only 16% of black researchers did. Hispanic and Asian scientists had approximately the same success ratio as white researchers, particularly after correcting for nationality and past research record. While reviewers do not have direct information on the race and ethnicity of applicants, it can be inferred from names and biographies. The bias seems to rise early in the [inaudible] process and the NIH is striving to find measures that will eliminate it by drawing on more minority reviewers and possibly helping applicants with their grant writing.

In 1965 Prof. Zadeh published a paper titled Fuzzy Sets in the journal Information and Control. Fuzzy Set theory and Fuzzy Logic has been hailed as a brilliant addition to Set theory. Zadeh is Prof. Emeritus of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley.TranscriptSpeaker 1: [inaudible].Speaker 2: [00:00:30] Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 3: Hi, my name is Brad swift and I'm the host of today's show. Today's interview is with Professor Lutfi Zada. He is professor emeritus in the electrical engineering and Computer Science Department of the College of Engineering [00:01:00] at UC Berkeley. Professor Zada was trained as an electrical engineer at the University of Toronto where he received a bachelor's degree at MIT where he received a master's and Columbia University where he received a Ph d from 1950 to 1959 Zara was a member of the Department of Electrical Engineering at Columbia University. He joined the Department of electrical engineering at UC Berkeley in 1959 and served [00:01:30] as its chair from 1963 to 1968 during his tenure as chair, he played a key role in changing the name of the department from electrical engineering to electrical engineering, computer science or [inaudible]. In June, 1965 professor Zada published a paper titled Fuzzy Sets in the Journal Information and control. This paper formalized his seminal fuzzy set theory. In the years since fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic has been hailed as a brilliant [00:02:00] addition to set theory. Speaker 3: The word fuzzy is used to characterize the imprecision and uncertainty of real world phenomena that the theory embraces. Essentially, a fuzzy set is a set whose members have degrees of membership within the range. Zero and one fuzzy set theory permits the gradual assessment of the membership of elements in a set. The membership is described by a value in the interval zero to one fuzzy logic is based on fuzzy set theory where [00:02:30] sets are approximate rather than fixed and exact how's he logic embraces the concept of partial truth where the truth value may range between completely true one and completely false zero. This interview is prerecorded and edited professors Oughta. Thank you very much for joining us on spectrum. It's my player. What do you think it was about being here at Berkeley that got you thinking about fuzzy logic [00:03:00] and the work that you then published? Right? Speaker 4: What did he see? What happened is that I have always been a strong believer in mathematics. I always believed that [inaudible] is solve all problems and simply, and that's what I've learned. You can [inaudible] if you cannot solve the problem with what, you know, learn more and then you go with the, so that was my fear. But then I began to feel that there is a disconnect between the precision of mathematics and the precision [00:03:30] of the real world. So I began to feel that way, uh, in 1960160260 three during sort of that period and my feeling that there is a problem grow in 1964 then when I was visiting New York, this idea occurred to me the same to do is to introduce the concept of a presence at the class, which [00:04:00] does not have sharp boundaries. So instead of talking about something being in a class or not being in a class, you're talking about degrees to which you are a member of a class, which seems to be a very natural sort of a thing. So what is surprising is this very simple national idea was not introduced in mathematics to some degree. It is amazing. There is multivariate logic and long [00:04:30] to validate logic. Truth is a matter of degree and fuzzy logic. Everything is a matter of degree. High geologic follows for, as you said, theater, everything is relative degree. So agenda of ideological is completely different from the agenda. [inaudible] Speaker 3: so do you consider yourself a creative thinker? Speaker 4: I think so, yes. I think this is [00:05:00] my strength. Yours and cut it up with original ideas. That's my sense. There are people who are smarter than I, but they were not creative. In other words, if we took exams, probably they do better, but somehow they are luck. This particular capability. Let's see. So what is something unusual? And I must pat myself on the back. Yes. The people at my [00:05:30] age, you know, I turned 19 continue to do something and tell them, I said we won't get to being a certain kind of environment that allows me to do that. I wrote my first paper [inaudible] 1965 at that time I was chair of the department and we had, I was on editorial boards. I had recognition. I submitted a paper publication during use. We're look for them. [00:06:00] If I were not a member of, they told you the board of that journal. Speaker 4: It wasn't getting turned down but I said, man, I thought of Kirsten. See they published. Know that paper by 1965 paper is the highest side that they put in that journal to NJ 6,000 citations. The next highest cited paper that it still 1,010 times more. Yeah. If a paper has 200 200 citation, that's considered to be [00:06:30] respectable in Europe I think they would be promoted to full professorship. You need at least 50 citations. A many people don't realize that. Yesterday I gave a lecture, he wished there was a little discussion of physiologic and the number of papers with fuzzy in title I or somebody who knows nothing about physiologic. I said, your perception, how many papers you guys are children [00:07:00] have Pfizer entitled because I said was 14 and he is a professor. He was a lecturer. Another suit. I asked somebody else. 50 okay, what is the correct number? 245,000 that's a lot. 245,000 papers with Pfizer and title. That's not something that's as black and white, either some title or southern title. [00:07:30] See how many patterns? 33,000 patterns relate to Pfizer here it's a little bit of question isn't related or unrelated to what degree? This is the picture, so it shows you the degree to which competent people can misunderstand something. So we send the people to reviewers presumably who know a lot and then they say this is piece of nonsense, garbage, whatever, whatever, whatever.Speaker 3: Is this the conservative [00:08:00] nature of the math world and people in mathematics that they're very conservative. They don't want to embrace a new idea, like fuzzy logic. I just Speaker 4: have difficulty in the, unless you're very much in the spirit of what's being done. Let me see if it's very much in the spirit of waste being done. No problems. So if you have four color problem, one pheromones, serum and you prove it, no problem. But if you come up with some [00:08:30] new rules, something, something, something you may have a problem. So at the same thing got placed in music and many other things usic in particular, you know, if you can pull something that is in the spirit of what's been too great but usually a couple of something it's completely different. People would throw to later say to you, which was I happened in music, you know, mineral service here. People like that, you know, very [00:09:00] they told on music this music that you write music is a good example of the situation which uh, which outage or now I'd say of in a certain sense gets you in trouble. Speaker 3: You are listening to k a l x Berkeley. We are talking with professor and Lucky Zada the creator of fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic [00:09:30] found its niche in industrial controllers. It was jump-started by a Cillian and Mandani in 1974 with their fuzzy linguistic algorithm to control the steam edge. The fuzzy vacation of industrial controllers took off cement kilns and Denmark subway trains in Sendai City, Japan, elevators, consumer products like cam quarters washing machines, back home cleaners and cars. Professor Zada attributes the success of fuzzy algorithms [00:10:00] to two concepts. He introduced linguistic variables and fuzzy if then rules. The hierarchy of a linguistic variable can be described as follows. Page can be a linguistic variable. Age is made up of, for example, three fuzzy sets named very young, young and old. The membership function. Each of these sets is mapped onto a numerical scale of values. In this case zero to 100 [00:10:30] years old. Each data element can be then tested for its degree of set membership. The higher the degree associated with an element in a given set, the more reliable the membership. The importance of this concept is how widely linguistic variables can be applied to problems. If you can describe what it is you want to know or how you want a system to behave, you can build a linguistic algorithm and compute. Speaker 4: But [00:11:00] the, and let me explain why there were so many applications. So I wrote my first paper in 1965 in 1973 I wrote the paper. Yeah, we're trying to use the concept but of a linguistic variable. It didn't really sit variable. And that's why I say key concept. It's a variable whose values itself. Wars. Humans use it all the time. Talk about age. [00:11:30] You can't use numbers one, two, three, four, five. But you can use words young, not young, very young, more or less young, old, not very old village. People use boards instead of numbers. That's the point. So I caught a variable like that linguistic variable, the variables whose values are words, but those words are enablers of pleasure sets. So when [00:12:00] you say town, it is a fight. He said, if I just said it's associated with memories, your function, that means that given that particular height, you could tell it to one degree is the person who that uh, is a member of the class of thought that this is because members, your firms. Speaker 4: So then we seek malleable. It's not just something that takes those matters. He was do that, but he was do not associate, [00:12:30] but your sets with the value. That's a big difference. But once you are associated for, as he said, you can compute with those of sets. And that turned out to be a key Isaiah because there you could program in natural language. So in that people in 1973 feet, I introduce [00:13:00] two basic concepts. One was the kinds of linguistic credible and the other one the Christ. I'm still fuzzy if they're in the room today, the 95% of our application for your logic, use those two pencils and you'll begin to see why it's easier to use natural language and medication. If I asked you how do you park your car, you could [00:13:30] explain it as a natural language, but if I asked you to do it using numbers, you can do it. Speaker 4: I said if you all were there, so many fears, then you wrangling so much, then turn the WM by 70 degrees. Nobody can do that, but people can use words. So you take words and associate those labels with them and then you execute. So people find that they can solve many problems. [00:14:00] A good example is balancing the worth, inverted pendulum stick. So it 10 year old gun, right? The rules. If this angle is low, Marcela's increasing, then give it a big push to traditionary to solve the problem. People use control theater. There are differential equations. They do that not near, not necessarily a 10 year old can solve the problem. Speaker 3: When you were [00:14:30] developing your fuzzy set theory, where are you collaborating with anybody at all? At the university? Speaker 4: Nothing really. I've never been much of a collaborator. That's the way I function. So I've always been like, I'm not saying that this is a good thing. I, I'm pointing to myself as a role model, but I to I think is the opposite. I think students enjoy working closely with a supervisor, [00:15:00] but somehow I was felt more comfortable doing things [inaudible] Speaker 3: do you think your education in some, some manner helps you become more creole? Speaker 4: One of the major with, I went through the systems. Yeah. The which uh, the emphasis was on not that money, but on, uh, education and being a good student. A good relationship [00:15:30] with your professors. It was a very and very wholesome environment. I consider myself to be lucky in that I went through that kind of an environment friendly, friendly and later at the mic and uh, also at Columbia I was also in an environment that does not exist today. Unfortunately today we have money centric environment. Everything revolves [00:16:00] around money. That was not the case when I was a student at MIT when I was a student.

I find it very disconcerting that young people today are brought [00:16:30] up in daddy's where they're told, look, if you don't manage to get money, we will not advance you to tell you. So they have to kill themselves to try to get money. But even what they say when the wars is that the people who tell these young people, unless you got money, we want to advance your team. They know that those young people will not succeed, but they will be able then fire them at some point and [00:17:00] replace them with another cheap and naive young person they see. Right. Speaker 3: Do you see the same sort of tension between publishing and teaching historically in education? Speaker 4: Well, this has always been the case. You know, publish or perish, but they says nothing money, a centricity. This is some other century city. Speaker 3: Well, it sort of goes to the core values of the institution. Is it more important to teach or is it more important to publish? [00:17:30] Well, Speaker 4: it depends. It depends. Of course institutions. I would put Berkeley right at the very top in terms of a enlightened approach to these issues. If I lost all of my money, as I said, there was not big [inaudible] to a small thing. I was 93 days when I get this of dirt, I would be some of the places and if I did not publish and they saying, but I did some good work, I would [00:18:00] still be treated with respect.

But they tell me something about the Brahms browns had the sharp down, he was leaving a [00:23:00] party and he had the, I said, we're thinking the point he says, if there is anybody in here who I have not offended, please accept my oppose. [inaudible] Speaker 1: [inaudible]Speaker 5: a regular feature of spectrum just to mention [00:23:30] a few of the science and technology events happening locally over the next few weeks. Here's Rick Karnofsky today August 26 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM professor Elliot Lab with no pitch of the ECS department and the director of the Center for energy efficient electronic science. Well present, searching for the millivolt switch. Moore's law predicts smaller components leading to increased energy efficiency. Well, while wires can operate at very low voltages, current transistors can not can the transistors be replaced with new low voltage switches [00:24:00] that are matched to the fine low voltage wires. Visit the Hearst memorial mining building room three 90 today at 2:00 PM to find out the community resources for science or the crs are having a founder celebration Sunday, August 28th from four to 6:30 PM at cliff bar and company 1451 66th street in Emeryville. Crs gives practical support for it. Great Science Teaching to get kids excited about science. Dr Peter h Glick is the co founder and president of the [inaudible] Speaker 1: [00:24:30] [inaudible]. Speaker 5: It's about their experience in East Bay classrooms. Tickets are $25 for students and teachers or $40 for the general public visit. Founder of celebration, 2000 eleven.eventbrite.com for tickets on Thursday September 8th [00:25:00] from seven to 9:00 PM they called you center at five three zero San Pablo Avenue near Dwight in Berkeley. Associate a free lecture. It is entitled from auto cities to Eco cities. Examples from around the globe, they'll discuss city design from around the world. That favor is walking, cycling, and public transit. The presentation will be followed by an interactive session based on an evolving Eco city framework under development by the ECO city builders and an international advisory committee. Visit Ecology center.org for more info. [00:25:30] The exploratorium after dark is an evening series four 18 and over is that mixes, cocktails, conversation and playful, innovative science and art events. It happens the first Thursday of the month from six to 10:00 PM after dark is included in the general admission price, which is $15 for adults. Speaker 5: The theme for September 1st after dark is music and creativity. Explore unique musical instruments made by local artists. Soon came and hear Indian classical music performed by Dr Perrin, Georgia, who research is connections between music [00:26:00] and creativity as the head of the music intelligence group at the Georgia Tech Center for music technology. He'll also share his work on the creation of new technologies for musical self-expression and then you're all basis for musical emotion and the cognitive underpinnings of musical experience. Visit exploratorium.edu for more info now, two new stories, David Lipkit and Chris Todd Hettinger and other researchers right in the August 22nd issue of the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that they have discovered a strain of yeast and Patagonia [00:26:30] that they believe is one of the parents of the modern day lager yeast. Saccharomyces pastoral Arianna's loggers are brewed at 39 to 48 degrees Fahrenheit. The style is believed to have originated in Germany in the 15th century because low winter temperatures prevent contamination. Speaker 5: However, most Fridays of the common Ailey's sacrum IC survey see are active at higher temperatures. 59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Lager, you started domesticated hybrid of the Ale yeast with a cold resistant species. The researcher's notes that the draft [00:27:00] genome sequence of the newly discovered yeast sacrifices you be honest, is 99.5% identical to the Non Ale east portion of the lager yeast genome. The journal Science reports that white researchers are nearly twice as likely as blacks to win grants from the National Institutes of health or the NIH, NIH director Francis Collins notes that she is deeply dismayed and has said that this is simply unacceptable, that there are differences in success that can't be explained. Between 2000 and 2006 [00:27:30] 29% of white applicants received funding, but only 16% of black researchers did. Hispanic and Asian scientists had approximately the same success ratio as white researchers, particularly after correcting for nationality and past research record. While reviewers do not have direct information on the race and ethnicity of applicants, it can be inferred from names and biographies. The bias seems to rise early in the [inaudible] process and the NIH is striving to find measures that will eliminate it by drawing on more minority reviewers and possibly helping applicants with their grant writing. [00:28:00] Hmm. Speaker 1: [inaudible] editing assistance from Judith White Marceline production assistants, Rick Karnofsky, the music heard during the show is from Elliston at David album entitled folk and Acoustical.

Alan Fierstein is the founder of Acoustilog, Inc. and provides acoustical consulting services to a variety of clients. The results of his inquiries often include custom technical devices or expert court testimony. He's been manufacturing acoustical gear since 1976 and was the owner of Sorcerer Sound, a recording studio for many Downtown artists, as well as Norah Jones' Blue Note explosion.

www.dpsplugin.com Joining me today are VP and engineer Rob Roy and audio engineer and accomplished studio musician Joseph Butera III from Bongiovi Acoustics. They are going to give us a sneak peak at the new DPS Plug-In for Mac users.The magic that drives Bongiovi Acoustics' incredible technology actually comes from a long legacy of a man, a studio and dozens of the most talented artists that ever lived.The man is Tony Bongiovi, who, in 1977 built the world's most famous recording studio: Power Station. The company created the patented DPS audio technology that provides studio-quality sound to everyday audio products. Presently, consumers can find the DPS technology in the JVC KD1 automobile entertainment system and in the i-Home iP1 docking station. The DPS Plug-In improves the brightness and clarity of compressed audio files (mp3, AAC, etc.) while providing richer, deeper bass response. It analyzes the audio signal in real-time and optimizes it for play back through the user's audio system. It also compensates for differences in volume between songs and enhances dialogue and sound effects for music, movies, television, streaming video and podcasts. If it's coming through iTunes, it will be dramatically better. The company intends to release the DPS Plug-In for PC later this year.try the DPS Plug-In for free, download the trial on www.dpsplugin.com 12 year old music prodigy ,singer and songwriter Christopher McGinnis (piano prodigy)....,featured on both I Carly and Oprah most Talented kid pick (websites) Said "Bongiovi acoustics DPS plug in is awesome. "My songs are on I-tunes and it's great to be able to use another third party app that enhances the quality of my sound!" I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants great sound at a reasonable price". www.christophermcginnis.com

"Acoustical Illusions", a part of the "Hum in the Room-trilogy" (2005), is dedicated to the environmental sounds that sound like distant choirs or orchestras. Sometimes when you listen to sounds in your environmental background, they may vaguely sound like a full string orchestra, or like soft whispering voices. An orchestra tuning? Cars passing on the highway?Sound that sound different from what they really are - Acoustical Illusions. Like the other wo mixes in this set ("Mantra of Walls and Wiring" and "The Hum in the Room") this is a very minimal, drone-oriented mix.

The object of this thesis is the development of theoretical and experimental methods for the controlled manipulation of surfaces at the nanometer scale, including the design, construction and experimental demonstration of an atomic force microscope (AFM) based manipulator. The transfer function description of an AFM system not only offers a theoretical dynamic characterization but, additionally, it is appropriate for the analysis of stability and controllability of different system configurations, i.e. different inputs and outputs. In this thesis, transfer functions are derived that correspond to a realistic model of the AFM sensor, including all its resonance modes and the tip-sample interaction. This theoretical description is then validated using the frequency response along an AFM cantilever. Different experimental and control techniques have been combined in the NanoManipulator system to optimize AFM lithography. Optical video microscopy allows a fast recognition of the sample and exact positioning of the AFM tip in the particular region of interest, while UV-laser ablation offers the possibility of noncontact manipulation of a wide range of materials, including biological specimens. Two different control approaches have been implemented in the NanoManipulator system: (i) automated control using a vector-scan module, and (ii) interactive control based on the use of a haptic interface. Using the NanoManipulator, the two different standard AFM lithography techniques based on dynamic methods (namely dynamic and modulated plowing) are compared by performing nanopatterning on thin resist films. The results reflect that modulated plowing, where the AFM tip is in permanent contact with the resist surface while the force is being modulated, offers the highest reliability, minimizing undesired side effects. The isolation and extraction of localized regions of human metaphase chromosomes represents a promising alternative to standard methods for the analysis of genetic material. The NanoManipulator is an excellent tool for such application, as it is here illustrated by comparing AFM based mechanical dissection and noncontact ablation on side by side chromosomes. The results are analyzed in situ using AFM imaging, revealing the high precision of mechanical dissection. Acoustical force nanolithography is a novel method for AFM based lithography where the cantilever is actuated using an acoustic wave coupled through the sample surface. The influence of acoustic wave frequency and magnitude, along with the preloading force of the cantilever are studied in detail. Acoustical force nanolithography can be used as a stand alone method or as a complement for the fine adjustment of manipulation forces.
