The small-amplitude and finite-amplitude propagation characteristics of laser line source excited and laser detected Scholte waves are investigated. Acoustic waves with Mach numbers up to 0.054 are observed at the interface between water and glass. In our case of a hard solid-liquid interface, the Scholte wave propagates very much like a bulk wave, for which the simple-wave equation holds. The experimental results are well fitted with this model, extended with an attenuation term. An anomalously large (compared with low amplitude viscous effects) attenuation reveals possible leakage of energy from the Scholte wave to bulk waves, through a mechanism of nonlinear mixing between the different wave modes and viscosity induced turbulence.

The goal of the present investigation was to perform a registered replication of Jones and Macken's (1995b) study, which showed that the segregation of a sequence of sounds to distinct locations reduced the disruptive effect on serial recall. Thereby, it postulated an intriguing connection between auditory stream segregation and the cognitive mechanisms underlying the irrelevant speech effect. Specifically, it was found that a sequence of changing utterances was less disruptive in stereophonic presentation, allowing each auditory object (letters) to be allocated to a unique location (right ear, left ear, center), compared to when the same sounds were played monophonically.

Background: Cognitive stimulation (CS) is an intervention for people with dementia offering a range of enjoyable activities providing general stimulation for thinking, concentration and memory, usually in a social setting, such as a small group. CS is distinguished from other approaches such as cognitive training and cognitive rehabilitation by its broad focus and social elements, aiming to improve domains such as quality of life (QoL) and mood as well as cognitive function. Recommended in various guidelines and widely implemented internationally, questions remain regarding different modes of delivery and the clinical significance of any benefits.

Intracellular spatiotemporal chemical heterogeneities with controlled properties are essential for life. However, creating these heterogeneities artificially is challenging. In this study, we used both acid- and base-producing enzymatic reactions simultaneously and demonstrated that the execution of these reactions in the presence of audible sound can effectively create spatiotemporally ordered pH domains in a solution.

Traveling waves are universal in excitable systems; yet, the microscopic dynamics of wave propagation is inaccessible in conventional excitable systems. Here, we show that active colloids of Quincke rollers driven by a periodic electric field can form condensed excitable phases. Distinct from existing excitable media, condensed excitable colloids can be tuned reversibly between active liquids and active crystals in which two distinct waves can be excited, respectively.
