The influence of headphones on the localization of external loudspeaker sources (2015)
Journal Article
Satongar, D., Pike, C., Lam, Y., & Tew, A. (2015). The influence of headphones on the localization of external loudspeaker sources. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 63(10), 799-810. https://doi.org/10.17743/jaes.2015.0072

When validating systems that use headphones to synthesize virtual sound sources, a direct
comparison between virtual and real sources is sometimes needed. This paper considers the
passive influence of headphones on the sound transmission and percep... Read More about The influence of headphones on the localization of external loudspeaker sources.

Metabolism, oxidative stress and territorial behaviour in a female colour polymorphic cichlid fish (2015)
Journal Article
Dijkstra, P. D., Pierotti, M. E., Seehausen, O., & Metcalfe, N. B. (2016). Metabolism, oxidative stress and territorial behaviour in a female colour polymorphic cichlid fish. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 70, 99–109. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-015-2028-4

Intrasexual selection on body coloration is thought to play an important role in the evolution of colour polymorphism, but its physiological underpinnings have received limited attention. In the colour polymorphic cichlid Neochromis omnicaeruleus, th... Read More about Metabolism, oxidative stress and territorial behaviour in a female colour polymorphic cichlid fish.

Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range (2015)
Journal Article
Henderson, G., Cox, F., Ganesh, S., Jonker, A., Young, W., Global Rumen Census Collaborators, G., & Janssen, P. (2015). Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range. Scientific reports, 5(14567), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep14567

Ruminant livestock are important sources of human food and global greenhouse gas emissions.
Feed degradation and methane formation by ruminants rely on metabolic interactions between
rumen microbes and affect ruminant productivity. Rumen and cameli... Read More about Rumen microbial community composition varies with diet and host, but a core microbiome is found across a wide geographical range.

Automatic Speaker Recognition System in Adverse Conditions — Implication of Noise and Reverberation on System Performance (2015)
Journal Article
A. Al-Karawi, K., H. Al-Noori, A., Li, F., & Ritchings, T. (2015). Automatic Speaker Recognition System in Adverse Conditions — Implication of Noise and Reverberation on System Performance. International journal of information and electronics engineering (Singapore : Online), 5(6), 423-427. https://doi.org/10.7763/IJIEE.2015.V5.571

Speaker recognition has been developed and evolved over the past few decades into a supposedly mature technique. Existing methods typically utilize robust features
extracted from clean speech. In real-world applications,
especially security and for... Read More about Automatic Speaker Recognition System in Adverse Conditions — Implication of Noise and Reverberation on System Performance.

101 mixes : a statistical analysis of mix-variation in a dataset of multi-track music mixes (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2015, October). 101 mixes : a statistical analysis of mix-variation in a dataset of multi-track music mixes. Presented at 139th International Convention of the Audio Engineering Society, New York City, New York, USA

The act of mix-engineering is a complex combination of creative and technical processes; analysis is often performed by studying the techniques of a few expert practitioners, qualitatively. We propose to study the actions of a large group of mix-engi... Read More about 101 mixes : a statistical analysis of mix-variation in a dataset of multi-track music mixes.

Application of object-based audio for automated mixing of live football broadcast (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Oldfield, R., Shirley, B., & Satongar, D. (2015, October). Application of object-based audio for automated mixing of live football broadcast. Presented at 139th AES Convention, New York, USA

The challenge of creating a live sound mix for a sports event such as a football/soccer match cannot be underestimated. The mixing engineer needs to constantly raise and lower the levels of the faders corresponding to the pitch-side microphones that...

Over the past 50 years, many millions of European honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies have died as the ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor, has spread around the world. Subsequent studies have indicated that the mite’s association with a group of R... Read More about Superinfection exclusion and the long-term survival of honey bees in Varroa-infested colonies.
