Parry Sound

Acoustics is the branch of physics concerned with the study of sound. Sound is a wave made of vibrations in the air. Waves can be measured in a range of different ways: by their amplitude, wavelength, frequency, speed, and, at times, their phase. Sound information is transmitted by the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations, where the amplitude is experienced as loudness and frequency as pitch. The vibration is started by some mechanical movement and this causes a vibration on the molecules…

Common bottlenose dolphins produce a wide variety of underwater sounds (Lammers & Oswald, 2015) allowing the detection and discrimination of the position of a sound in three-dimensional space (Mooney et al., 2008). These animals are also known for their vocal learning capabilities, with high ability to imitate other animal’s whistles, including man-made whistles or artificial sounds (Lilly, 1965; Janik & Slater, 1997; Tyack, 1997; Janik, 2000; Miksis et al., 2002). This ability comes from the…

The sounds of rustling leaves and heavy panting were the only things heard as she ran through the forest. That, and the occasional... sound. Graghh! "Come on, Virgil! You have to be faster! Or that, thing, might get us... " A tiny silhouette dashing between tress. A terrier chasing after. Something on their trail. "I'm sorry, Virgil. Once we get home I won't yell at you anymore. I promise!" Awoo! ... When she saw that Virgil was peeing on her pillow, again, she couldn't help but…

In this The Taming of the Shrew passage I will be focussing on how the style contributes to the dramatic effect of the play, how the passage impacts the play and its audience, and how it contributes to the larger themes within the play. The purpose of scene 2 as a whole is to introduce Petruchio and put in motion Petruchio’s pursual of Katherine. In this passage we see Gremio and Grumio supporting but also questioning Petruchio’s decision in pursuing Kate. And the audience can foresee that this…

Introduction A wave is a repeating disturbance or movement that transfers energy through matter or space. Waves are caused by vibrations. There are two types of waves, transverse, and longitudinal waves. The moving particles in transverse waves travel at right angles to the direction of transverse. Some examples of transverse waves are light waves and radio waves. A longitudinal wave is also known as a compression wave. The moving particles move back and forth in the same direction as the wave.…

monster continuously drinking water. I also became afraid of the dark because I thought a scary creature lurked down in the deep abyss waiting for me. Whenever I would go to the basement, I would ask my dad to come with me because I was terrified of the sound coming from the metal pipes running in the ceiling. Throughout my childhood, I felt forever horrified of the basement because of the incidents I had confronted.…

The articulatory kinematic approach has received significant attention due to its focus on motor programming and planning. The nature of this treatment is designed to increase correct production of sounds by guiding clients to proper movement and placement of the articulators (Wambaugh & Mauszycki, 2010). Specific strategies employed during articulatory kinematic therapy include modeling, repetition, articulatory placement and tactile cueing, feedback…

As I close my locker I can hear the faint buzzing of the group message of the homecoming group. Before I can succumb and grab my phone I walk away feeling lost and uneasy. This allows me to look up and observe what is happening around me. There are a lot of people on their phones- looking at twitter, snapchat, or their messages. There is a group of boys huddled around talking in hushed voices outside of the upper 500 pod. The last thing I see is a couple huddled against the wall across from my…
