The control of propagation direction or path of edge states is difficult when the chirality of the excitation source and the boundary structures are determined. Here, we studied a frequency-selective routing for elastic wave based on two types of topological phononic crystals (PnCs) with different symmetries. By constructing multiple types of interfaces between different PnCs structures with distinct valley topological phases, the valley edge states of elastic wave could be realized at different frequencies in the band gap. Meanwhile, based on the simulation of topological transport, it is found that the routing path of elastic waves valley edge states highly depends on the operating frequency and the inputting port of the excitation source. By varying the excitation frequency, the transport path can be switched. The results provide a paradigm for the control of elastic wave propagation paths that could be employed for designing the frequency-dependent ultrasonic division devices.

Purpose: Tools that can reliably measure changes in the perception of tinnitus following interventions are lacking. The minimum masking level, defined as the lowest level at which tinnitus is completely masked, is a candidate for quantifying changes in tinnitus perception. In this study, we aimed to determine minimal clinically important differences for minimum masking level.

Speech comprehension involves the dynamic interplay of multiple cognitive processes, from basic sound perception, to linguistic encoding, and finally to complex semantic-conceptual interpretations. How the brain handles the diverse streams of information processing remains poorly understood. Applying Hidden Markov Modeling to fMRI data obtained during spoken narrative comprehension, we reveal that the whole brain networks predominantly oscillate within a tripartite latent state space.

Justifying a proposed government regulation intended to reduce firearm violence requires a conceptually sound estimate of the monetized value of that impact and how that value is distributed across the population. Some previous estimates do not serve as a valid basis for policy evaluation or are out of date. A nationally representative survey was conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research in August 2022 (n = 660).
