Article Abstract
An experimental study is conducted to investigate the effects of both the diameter and shape of wind instrument tone holes on the flow behaviour in an artificial, simplified scenario. Time-resolved particle image velocimetry is used to measure flow velocity over the entire length of a square recorder bore. Flow velocity measurements enable various approaches to analyse the flow under different tone hole configurations. Simultaneous to the flow measurements, the air pressure at the input (blowing pressure) and in the interior of the tube (at five locations along the bore) is measured. Realistic excitation conditions are emulated, incorporating a commercial bass recorder mouthpiece. The flow for three different tone hole diameters is examined, with two of the tone holes also varying in height and undercutting. The amplitude of the flow oscillations is examined and compared for all tone hole configurations. The effect of tone hole undercutting is further analysed in the frequency domain, where it is observed that undercutting concentrates more energy at the fundamental frequency. Finally, it is experimentally shown that undercutting lowers the vorticity of the flow.

Late-life depression (LLD) arises from the confluence of neurochemical dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neural network disintegration, presenting a formidable therapeutic challenge. Here, we demonstrated that combined vitamin D (Vit D) and L-theanine (L-thea) administration exerts multimodal neurorestorative effects in an aged murine model of unpredictable chronic mild stress (UCMS), addressing the core triad of LLD pathology: dopaminergic decline, redox imbalance, and thalamocortical dyssynchrony. Using a comprehensive battery of behavioral assays (Open Field Test, Elevated Plus Maze, Hole Board Test, Tail Suspension Test, Forced Swim Test, Sucrose Preference Test), we observed profound anxiogenic and anhedonic phenotypes in the UCMS-exposed mice, accompanied by elevated immobility and suppressed exploratory drive.

Ensuring wellbore stability and efficient drilling in high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) environments remains a persistent challenge in the oil and gas industry. This study evaluates the performance of Claytone-II, a novel organophilic phyllosilicate, as a rheological additive for oil-based drilling fluids (OBDFs) under HPHT conditions. Its intrinsic hydrophobicity, swelling capacity, and high surface area suggest potential for enhancing OBDF rheology and stability.

When an ultrasound tone-burst propagates in an elastic solid with quadratic nonlinearities, a pulse wave with a carrier frequency of zero (referred to as zero-frequency wave, ZFW) will be generated due to material nonlinearity. The low acoustic attenuation characteristics of ZFW is particularly well-suited for defect detection of highly attenuative materials. In our previous study, large detection depths in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) have been demonstrated using ZFW.

Objectives: Despite the extensive use of machine learning (ML) models in health sciences for outcome prediction and condition classification, their application in differentiating various types of auditory disorders remains limited. This study aimed to address this gap by evaluating the efficacy of five ML models in distinguishing (a) individuals with tinnitus from those without tinnitus and (b) noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) from age-related hearing loss (ARHL).
Design: We used data from a cross-sectional study of the Canadian population, which included audiologic and demographic information from 928 adults aged 30 to 100 years, diagnosed with either ARHL or NIHL due to long-term occupational noise exposure.
