AI Article Synopsis

  • Tone detection is essential for passive sonar systems, but existing algorithms struggle with detecting weak tones effectively.
  • A novel structure called attention-driven complex-valued U-Net is introduced, featuring two attention mechanisms (temporal and harmonic) to enhance noise resilience while maintaining computational efficiency.
  • This method outperforms traditional U-shaped designs by effectively mining amplitude and phase information and improving reconstruction accuracy, proving robust against noise in various experimental scenarios.

Article Abstract

Tone detection is crucial for passive sonar systems. Numerous algorithms have been developed for passive tone detection, but their effectiveness in detecting weak tones is still limited. To enhance noise resilience in passive tone detection, a broad-receptive field complex-valued structure named attention-driven complex-valued U-Net is proposed. Concretely, two attention mechanisms, namely, temporal attention and harmonic attention, are proposed to broaden the receptive field with high computational efficiency. Complex-valued operators are then introduced to mine both amplitude and phase information of tones. Additionally, a symmetric downsampling and upsampling strategy is proposed to improve the reconstruction accuracy of detailed time-frequency information. Overall, the proposed method demonstrates a strong robustness to noise and a strong ability to generalize. Experimental results on both simulated data and real-world data validate the superiority of the proposed attention-driven complex-valued U-Net against conventional U-shaped structures.

This online experiment aimed to replicate Sugano's (2021) findings on how exposure to delayed auditory feedback affects feeling of control (agency). Participants first adapted by repeatedly reproducing a sequence of seven, eight or nine tones on a single trial basis while receiving either immediate (10 ms) or delayed (110 ms) auditory feedback on their keypresses. This exposure aimed to recalibrate their timing perception.

Purpose: To explore how hearing changes over time and the characteristics associated with progressive hearing loss in children with enlarged vestibular aqueduct (EVA), and develop a prediction model for anticipation of hearing progression probability.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 48 children (92 ears) diagnosed with EVA. A total of 314 audiograms were included in the analysis of hearing loss trajectories using linear mixed-effects model.

Background: At present, the participation rate in cancer screening is still not ideal, and the lack of screening information or misunderstanding of information is an important factor hindering cancer screening behaviour. Therefore, a systematic synthesis of information needs related to cancer screening is critical.

Methods: On July 23, 2024, we searched the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase, EBSCO, PsycINFO, Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL to collect qualitative or mixed-methods studies on information needs of cancer screening.

Impact of adipocytes on ultrasound evaluation of parathyroid adenomas.

J Med Ultrason (2001)

December 2024

Department of Internal Medicine, Kuma Hospital, Kobe, Hyogo, 650-0011, Japan.

Purpose: Parathyroid lipoadenomas are difficult to recognize preoperatively; hence, they may remain undetected. Difficulty in recognition is thought to be due to the adipocytes present in the tumor. This study aimed to clarify the impact of adipocytes as a component of parathyroid adenomas on ultrasound evaluation.
