Presentation / Conference
Ward, L., Robinson, C., Paradis, M., Tucker, K., & Shirley, B. R2SPIN : re-recording the Revised Speech Perception in Noise Test. Presented at 20th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association

Speech in noise tests are an important clinical and research toolfor understanding speech perception in realistic, adverse listen-ing conditions. Though relatively simple to implement, theirdevelopment is time and resource intensive. As a result,... Read More about R2SPIN : re-recording the Revised Speech Perception in Noise Test.

Determining and labeling the preference dimensions of spatial audio replay
Presentation / Conference
Francombe, J., Brookes, T., Mason, R., & Woodcock, J. Determining and labeling the preference dimensions of spatial audio replay. Presented at QoMEX 2016, Lisbon, Portugal

There are many spatial audio reproduction systems currently in domestic use (e.g. mono, stereo, surround sound, sound bars, and headphones). In an experiment, pairwise pref-erence magnitude ratings for a range of such systems were collected from trai...

Embryonic and fetal development of the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari)
Journal Article
Andrade, R., Monteiro, F., Rocha El Bizri, H., Pantoja, L., Bodmer, R., Valsecchi, J., & Mayor, P. Embryonic and fetal development of the white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari). Theriogenology, 119, 163-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2018.07.006

The white-lipped peccary (Tayassu pecari) is an endangered large-sized Neotropical ungulate that is one of the most hunted mammals in the Amazon. Here, we used two embryos and 102 white-lipped peccary fetuses originated from animals hunted for subsis...
