DRONE GAME THAT HIGHLIGHTS ETHICAL AND SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS OF DESIGN DECISIONS

Siara Ruth Isaac, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Gianni Lodetti, Barbara Bruno

This paper reports on the development of a brief scenario-based challenge to prompt engineering students’ reflection about the broader impacts of their design decisions, and thereby increase their ethical sensitivity and motivation. The game scenario asks ...

Use of an unmanned aerial-aquatic vehicle for acoustic sensing in freshwater ecosystems

Mirko Kovac, Raphael Zufferey

Freshwater ecosystems are endangered, underfunded and understudied, making new methods such as passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) essential for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of data collection. However, many challenges are still to be addressed ...

Neural Decoding of Discriminative Auditory Object Features Depends on Their Socio-Affective Valence

Wietske Van der Zwaag, Melissa Saenz

Human voices consist of specific patterns of acoustic features that are considerably enhanced during affective vocalizations. These acoustic features are presumably used by listeners to accurately discriminate between acoustically or emotionally similar vo ...

Incremental Syllable-Context Phonetic Vocoding

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current very low bit rate speech coders are, due to complexity limitations, designed to work off-line. This paper investigates incremental speech coding that operates real-time and incrementally (i.e., encoded speech depends only on already-uttered speech ...

Intra- and interspecific social challenges modulate the levels of an androgen precursor in a seasonally territorial tropical damselfish

Katarina Damjanovic

Studies on different vertebrate groups have provided evidence that androgen levels in males increase after competitive social interactions during the breeding season, as postulated by the Challenge Hypothesis. However, social modulation of androgen levels ...

Big brother is watching you: eavesdropping to resolve family conflicts

Christof Faller

Adult animals can eavesdrop on behavioral interactions between potential opponents to assess their competitive ability and motivation to contest resources without interacting directly with them. Surprisingly, eavesdropping is not yet considered as an impor ...

Spectrogram MPC: Enforcing hard constraints on system's output spectra

Colin Neil Jones, Melanie Nicole Zeilinger, Jean-Hubert Hours

A novel model predictive control (MPC) scheme that allows one to enforce hard constraints on the spectrum of a constrained system’s output signal is presented. The approach is based on a time-local analysis of the spectrum of output signals by means of the ...

Infrared spectroscopy of hydrated amino acids in the gas phase: protonated and lithiated valine

Thomas Rizzo, Rainer Beck, Oleg Boyarkine, Sébastien Mercier, Anthi Kamariotou, Evan Rowland Williams

We report here infrared spectra of protonated and lithiated valine with varying degrees of hydration in the gas phase and interpret them with the help of DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-31++G** level. In both the protonated and lithiated species, our resul ...
