Photoacoustic imaging (also called optoacoustic imaging) is a hybrid modality based on the generation and detection of ultrasound in response to optical absorption of tissue. It combines advantages from both optical and ultrasound imaging, providing functional, molecular and microstructural information of tissue at scalable spatial resolution and depth. This technology has undergone exponential growth over the last two decades, and it is now widely viewed as one of the most exciting biomedical imaging modalities.

Active sound and vibration control are technologically important problems with many applications. 'Active control'...

Foundations of Engineering Acoustics takes the reader on a journey from a qualitative introduction to the physical nature of sound, explained in terms of common experience, to mathematical models and analytical results which underlie the techniques applied by the engineering industry to improve the acoustic performance of their products. The book is distinguished by extensive descriptions and explanations of audio-frequency acoustic phenomena and their relevance to engineering, supported by a wealth of diagrams, and by a guide for teachers of tried and tested class demonstrations...

This interdisciplinary history and theory of sound in the arts reads the twentieth century by listening to it--to the emphatic and exceptional sounds of modernism and those on the cusp of postmodernism, recorded sound, noise, silence, the fluid sounds of immersion and dripping, and the meat voices of viruses, screams, and bestial cries. Focusing on Europe in the first half of the century and the United States in the postwar years, Douglas Kahn explores aural activities in literature, music, visual arts, theater, and film. Placing aurality at the center of the history of the arts, he...
