Hsu-Nielsen source acoustic emission data on a concrete block.

Data Brief

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC, USA.

Published: April 2019

Data presented in this paper are utilized in the paper entitled "Acoustic Emission Bayesian Source Location: Onset Time Challenge" [1]. Hsu-Nielsen source which also known as pencil lead break (PLB), is an artificial method of generating acoustic emission (AE) signals, which can roughly represent an acoustic emission damage source. The data in this paper represent AE signals emitted by conducting PLBs on a concrete block. The test was repeated ten times for three different locations. The resulted stress waves were captured by piezoelectric acoustic emission sensors and acquired as the electrical signals. The signals were digitized according to a specified sampling rate and were presented as voltage amplitudes. Each PLB was registered by several sensors (data acquisition channels). The data are presented for each PLB and channel. Furthermore, the geometry and mixture design of the concrete block, sensor types, sensor locations, and PLB locations are reported. The data can be used for validation of source location algorithms, signal processing, and sensor calibration.

As the depth of coal mining in China continues to increase, the fracturing of coal rock masses has an increasingly complex impact on the surrounding rock roadways. The majority of the mine's roadways run through coal rock masses with hard roofs and soft bottoms, which typically exhibit complex dynamic behaviour. To further research the mechanical behaviour and fracture evolution of coal rock masses under hard-roof and soft-floor conditions, the study is based on the majority of working faces in a mine, which have hard roofs and soft floors.

Silent Hearing Loss in Kidney Transplant Patients Receiving Tacrolimus: A Fact or a Myth?

Indian J Nephrol

June 2024

Mansoura Nephrology and Dialysis Unit, Department of Internal Medicine, Mansoura, Egypt.

Background: It has been claimed that tacrolimus may have harmful effects on the auditory system, where it has been linked to ototoxicity and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). We evaluated silent SNHL in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) receiving tacrolimus and the different factors affecting it compared to healthy controls.

Materials And Methods: In this case control study, hearing functions were studied in 42 KTRs receiving tacrolimus as maintenance immunosuppressive therapy for more than 3 months in comparison to 27 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects using tympanometry, pure-tone audiometry (PTA), extended high frequency audiometry (EHFA), and transient evoked oto-acoustic emissions (TEOAEs).

It is well understood that a significant shift away from fossil fuel based transportation is necessary to limit the impacts of the climate crisis. Electric micromobility modes, such as electric scooters and electric bikes, have the potential to offer a lower-emission alternative to journeys made with internal combustion engine vehicles, and such modes of transport are becoming increasingly commonplace on our streets. Although offering advantages such as reduced air pollution and greater personal mobility, the widespread approval and uptake of electric micromobility is not without its challenges.

Acoustic Measures According to Speaker Gender Identity: Differences and Correlation With Vocal Satisfaction.

J Voice

January 2025

Universidade Estadual de Campinas - UNICAMP, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil. Electronic address:

Objective: To analyze acoustic measures of speech and vowel samples from individuals of different genders and to correlate these acoustic measures with vocal satisfaction. This study aims to provide additional data on acoustic measures, serving as references for clinicians while emphasizing the importance of moving beyond cisgender norms. Additionally, it addresses a gap in the Brazilian context by exploring correlations between acoustic measures and self-perceived vocal satisfaction across diverse gender groups.

Soft tissue-like coupling materials for in vitro acoustic emission studies in total hip arthroplasty.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater

January 2025

Laboratory for Biomechanics and Biomaterials (LBB), Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Hannover Medical School, Anna-von-Borries-Strasse 1-7, 30625, Hannover, Germany. Electronic address:

In hip arthroplasty, relative movements between the femoral stem and bone can lead to implant loosening, resulting in extensive bone loss. Acoustic emission (AE) analysis is a promising technique for a nondestructive and noninvasive detection of these relative movements. To develop such a detection method, in vitro investigations using piezoelectric AE sensors on implant stems in artificial or human femora are required to characterize the AE signals induced by loosening.
