description: We study the conductivities $σ$ of (i) the equilibrium isochoric state ($σ_{\rm is}$), (ii) the equilibrium isobaric state ($σ_{\rm ib}$), and also the (iii) non-equilibrium ultrafast matter (UFM) state ($σ_{\rm uf}$) with the ion temperature $T_i$ less than the the electron temperature $T_e$. Aluminum, lithium and carbon are considered, being increasingly complex warm dense matter (WDM) systems, with carbon having transient covalent bonds. First-principles calculations, i.e., neutral-pseudoatom (NPA) calculations and density-functional theory (DFT) with molecular-dynamics (MD) simulations, are compared where possible with experimental data to characterize $σ_{\rm ic}, σ_{\rm ib}$ and $σ_{\rm uf}$. The NPA $σ_{\rm ib}$ are closest to the available experimental data when compared to results from DFT+MD, where simulations of about 64-125 atoms are typically used. The published conductivities for Li are reviewed and the value at a temperature of 4.5 eV is examined using supporting X-ray Thomson scattering calculations. A physical picture of the variations of $σ$ with temperature and density applicable to these materials is given. The insensitivity of $σ$ to $T_e$ below 10 eV for carbon, compared to Al and Li, is clarified.

description: Blind people face a range of accessibility challenges in their everyday lives, from reading the text on a package of food to traveling independently in a new place. Answering general questions about one’s visual surroundings remains well beyond the capabilities of fully automated systems, but recent systems are showing the potential of engaging on-demand human workers (the crowd) to answer visual questions. The input to such systems has generally been a single image, which can limit the interaction with a worker to one question; or video streams where systems have paired the end user with a single worker, limiting the benefits of the crowd. In this paper, we introduce Chorus:View, a system that assists users over the course of longer interactions by engaging workers in a continuous conversation with the user about a video stream from the user’s mobile device. We demonstrate the benefit of using multiple crowd workers instead of just one in terms of both latency and accuracy, then conduct a study with 10 blind users that shows Chorus:View answers common visual questions more quickly and accurately than existing approaches. We conclude with a discussion of users’ feedback and potential future work on interactive crowd support of blind users

description: Electromagnetic response of a finite-width two-dimensional electron stripe with attached metallic side contacts is theoretically studied. It is shown that contacts substantially influence the position, the linewidth, and the amplitude of plasmon-polariton resonances in the stripe. In finite magnetic fields, absorption of the wave with the inactive circular polarization (which is not absorbed in an infinite system without contacts) may become larger than that of the wave with the active polarization. The results are discussed in view of recent microwave experiments in two-dimensional electron systems.

description: Optical see-through head-mounted displays (OST HMDs) are a major output medium for Augmented Reality, which have seen significant growth in popularity and usage among the general public due to the growing release of consumer-oriented models, such as the Microsoft Hololens. Unlike Virtual Reality headsets, OST HMDs inherently support the addition of computer-generated graphics directly into the light path between a user's eyes and their view of the physical world. As with most Augmented and Virtual Reality systems, the physical position of an OST HMD is typically determined by an external or embedded 6-Degree-of-Freedom tracking system. However, in order to properly render virtual objects, which are perceived as spatially aligned with the physical environment, it is also necessary to accurately measure the position of the user's eyes within the tracking system's coordinate frame. For over 20 years, researchers have proposed various calibration methods to determine this needed eye position. However, to date, there has not been a comprehensive overview of these procedures and their requirements. Hence, this paper surveys the field of calibration methods for OST HMDs. Specifically, it provides insights into the fundamentals of calibration techniques, and presents an overview of both manual and automatic approaches, as well as evaluation methods and metrics. Finally, it also identifies opportunities for future research. % relative to the tracking coordinate system, and, hence, its position in 3D space.

description: Two crossbred cattle were presented to a veterinary teaching hospital in December 2001 with muscarinic, nicotinic and central nervous system signs consistent with severe organophosphorus (OP) insecticide toxicity. Despite treatment, neither animal survived. Over the course of 72 hours, 34 cattle died acutely. A subsequent veterinarian-led visit to the farm identified a rusted, leaking corn planter containing a gray crumbling material, situated near where the cattle were fed. This substance was later identified as fonofos, an agricultural insecticide and an OP that was voluntarily removed from the marketplace by the manufacturer in 1998.

description: Recently an explicit resolution of the Calabi-Yau cone over the inhomogeneous five-dimensional Einstein-Sasaki space Y^{2,1} was obtained. It was constructed by specialising the parameters in the BPS limit of recently-discovered Kerr-NUT-AdS metrics in higher dimensions. We study the occurrence of such non-singular resolutions of Calabi-Yau cones in a more general context. Although no further six-dimensional examples arise as resolutions of cones over the L^{pqr} Einstein-Sasaki spaces, we find general classes of non-singular cohomogeneity-2 resolutions of higher-dimensional Einstein-Sasaki spaces. The topologies of the resolved spaces are of the form of an R^2 bundle over a base manifold that is itself an $S^2$ bundle over an Einstein-Kahler manifold.

An Update on dairy cow free stall design
Creators: name: Cook, Nigel B.
name: Nordlund, Ken
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 2005

description: This paper summarizes recent advances in our knowledge of free stall design for dairy cows. New information related to free stall surface cushion and traction, resting space, head lunge and bob movement and neck rail location is reviewed and summarized. Diagonal lying of cows in stalls has several potential adverse effects, and can result from mechanical and social obstructions related to overall stall size. Recent research has shown that lame cows behave differently on mattress than on sand surfaces. It is likely that lameness is a risk factor for other stall injuries and entrapments. Currently, sand remains an optimal stall surface for the dairy cow as its cushion and traction allows lame cows to maintain normal patterns of daily stall activity.

description: The objective of this prospective study was to determine the prevalence of potential environmental bacterial mastitis pathogens in bulk tank milk, and to determine their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. Bulk tank milk samples from over 400 California dairies routinely submitting samples to the Milk Quality Laboratory were initially screened. Once potential environmental bacterial mastitis pathogens were found in bulk milk from a dairy, the dairy was repeatedly sampled on a monthly basis. Over a nine-month period, 93 dairies were identified with these bacteria, and 381 isolates were collected. Most common isolates were Streptococcus uberis (42.3%), Streptococcus dysgalactiae (16.3%) and Enterococcus faecium (10.5%). Bacterial isolates (335) from 73 dairies which had at least three isolates were subjected to Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) testing using 10 antibiotics. A wide range of susceptibility to antibiotics was found. Streptococcus dysgalactiae tended to have lower MIC values to the test antibiotics than the other isolates. The non-streptococcal bacteria tended to have the highest MIC values.

description: Exploratory data analysis is a process of sifting through data in search of interesting information or patterns. Analysts' current tools for exploring data include database management systems, statistical analysis packages, data mining tools, visualization tools, and report generators. Since the exploration process seeks the unexpected in a data-driven manner, it is crucial that these tools are seamlessly integrated so analysts can flexibly select and compose tools to use at each stage of analysis. Few systems have integrated all these capabilities either architecturally or at the user interface level. Visage's information-centric approach allows coordination among multiple application user interfaces. It uses an architecture that keeps track of the mapping of visual objects to information in shared databases. One result is the ability to perform direct manipulation operations such as drag-and-drop transfer of data among applications. This paper describes Visage's Visual Query Language and visualization tools, and illustrates their application to several stages of the exploration process: creating the target dataset, data cleaning and preprocessing, data reduction and projection, and visualization of the reduced data. Unlike previous integrated KDD systems' interfaces, direct manipulation is used pervasively, and the visualizations are more diverse and can be customized automatically as needed. Coordination among all interface objects simplifies iterative modification of decisions at any stage.

description: A laser-cooled neutral-atom beam from a low-velocity intense source is split into two beams while guided by a magnetic-field potential. We generate our multimode-beamsplitter potential with two current-carrying wires on a glass substrate combined with an external transverse bias field. The atoms bend around several curves over a $10$-cm distance. A maximum integrated flux of $1.5\cdot10^{5} \mathrm{atoms/s}$ is achieved with a current density of $5\cdot10^{4} \mathrm{Ampere/cm^{2}}$ in the 100-$\mathrm{μm}$ diameter wires. The initial beam can be split into two beams with a 50/50 splitting ratio.

All six boundary parameters are arbitrary, and need not satisfy any constraint. The solution is in terms of generalized T - Q equations, having more than one Q function. We find numerical evidence that this solution gives the complete set of 2^N transfer matrix eigenvalues, where N is the number of spins.

description: Direct manipulation of visualizations is a powerful technique for performing exploratory data operations such as navigation, aggregation, and filtering. Its immediacy facilitates rapid, incremental, and reversible forays into the data. However it does not provide for reuse or modification of exploration sessions. This paper describes a visual query language, VQE, that adds these capabilities to a direct manipulation exploration environment called Visage. Queries and visualizations are dynamically linked: operations on either one immediately update the other, in contrast to the feedforward sequence of database query followed by visualization of results common in traditional systems. These features are supported by the architectural concept of threads, which represent a sequence of navigation steps on particular objects. Because they are tied to particular data objects, they can be directly manipulated. Because they represent operations, they can be generalized into queries. We expect this technique to apply to direct manipulation interfaces to any object-oriented system that represents both objects and the relationships among them.
The molecular H2 and stellar discs in the nuclear region of NGC 4258

description: NGC 4258 is an SABbc Seyfert galaxy, located at a distance of $7.2 \pm 0.3$ Mpc. This object is well known by its nearly edge-on molecular nuclear disc, located between 0.16 and 0.28 pc from the nucleus, whose H$_2$O maser emission allows a very precise measurement of the central supermassive black hole mass ($M_{\bullet}(maser) = 3.78 \pm 0.01 \times 10^7$ Mo). We analyse the emission line properties and the stellar kinematics in a data cube of the central region of NGC 4258, obtained, in the K band, with the Near-Infrared Integral Field Spectrograph, at the Gemini-north telescope. The nuclear spectrum, after the starlight subtraction, shows only the H$_2 λ2.1218$ $μ$m and Br$γ$ emission lines, the latter having a broad component with FWHM$_{Brγ}(broad) = 1600 \pm 29$ km s$^{-1}$. The spatial morphology and kinematics of the H$_2 λ2.1218$ $μ$m line are consistent with a rotating molecular disc around the supermassive black hole, with an upper limit for its diameter of 15.7 pc. The inner radio jet in this object is, in projection, almost perpendicular to the H$_2$ emitting disc detected in this work, and also to the H$_2$O maser emitting disc. The main features of the maps of the stellar kinematic parameters are well reproduced by a model of a thin rotating stellar circular disc. The supermassive black hole mass provided by this dynamical modelling ($M_{\bullet}(disc) = 2.8 \pm 1.0 \times 10^7$ Mo) is compatible, at 1$σ$ level, with the precise measurement resulting from the H$_2$O maser emission.

description: We report the detection of an absorbed central X-ray source and its strong, rapid variability in NGC4395, the least luminous Seyfert nucleus known. The X-ray source exhibits a number of flares with factors of 3-4 flux changes during a half day ASCA observation. Such X-ray variability is in constrast to the behaviour of other low luminosity active galaxies. It provides further support for an accreting black hole model rather than an extreme stellar process in accounting for the nuclear activity of NGC4395. The soft X-ray emission below 3 keV is strongly attenuated by absorption. The energy spectrum in this absorption band shows a dramatic change in response to the variation in continuum luminosity. A variable warm absorber appears to be an explanation for the spectral change. The absorption-corrected 2-10 keV luminosity is 4e39 erg/s for a source distance of 2.6 Mpc, and at 1 keV is one order of magnitude above previous ROSAT estimates. Our X-ray results infer the nuclear source of NGC4395 to be a scaled-down version of higher luminosity Seyfert nuclei, with an intermediate mass (10^4-10^5 Msun) black hole, unlike the nearby low luminosity active galaxies in which underfed massive black holes are suspected to reside.

An Interactive 1D+2D+3D Visualization for Requirements Anaylsis

Year: 2004
Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: In most practical domains, scheduling is not a one-shot generative task of producing time and resource assignments for pre-specified sets of requirements and capabilities, but an iterative process of getting the constraints right. Initial solutions are developed (at some level of detail) to understand the feasibility of various requirements and the sufficiency of assumed resources. This requirements analysis leads to reassessment of what requirements can be reasonably met and what resources need to be made available. Changes are made to the constraints governing requirements and resource availability, and eventually a final schedule is elaborated. At early stages of this user-driven process, seeing a fully instantiated schedule is less important than simply knowing whether a feasible schedule exists and, if not, the approximate magnitude of the shortfalls for different resources and periods of time. To this end, solutions to relaxed versions of complete scheduling problems can provide helpful guidance. In this paper, we describe a system that provides a direct manipulation visual interface for requirements analysis and reconciliation. The interface incorporates a 3D visualization that identifies resource capacity shortfalls in a tractable relaxed version of the problem, which are necessarily shortfalls in the original problem. Our visualization can be contrasted with common 2D scheduling displays such as Gantt Charts and Closure Graphs, which are designed for visualizing complete solutions to a given scheduling problem and hence offer only indirect support for identifying inherently over-constrained regions of the solution space. Alternatively, our visualization directly characterizes this underlying constraint space and provides a direct basis for requirements analysis. An analyst iteratively adjusts problem constraints and visualizes the resulting (relaxed) problem solution until various mismatches between resource requirements and resource availability are satisfactorily reconciled. Once a reasonable compromise is found, the same interface can then be used to guide more detailed scheduling

description: The Context Toolkit (Dey, Salber, and Abowd 2001 [this special issue]) is only one of many possible architectures for supporting context-aware applications.

We describe the advantages that a service infrastructure for contextawareness has over other approaches, outline some of the core technical challenges that must be addressed before such an infrastructure can be built, and point out promising research directions for overcoming these challenges.

Atrial septal defect: is it a genetic problem in cattle?

description: This study was designed to determine the time sequence of postnatal changes associated with the atrial septum in the bovine heart, and to assess if atrial septal defect (ASD) is a genetic disorder in stillborn Maine-Anjou calves. The study was divided into three parts: (1) review of the necropsy database; (2) examination of hearts from "normal" Holstein-Friesian calves; and (3) examination of hearts from stillborn beef calves and cattle dying of unknown cause. In the normal Holstein-Friesian calf the opening in the atrial septum is covered completely by a membrane at birth, resulting in an anatomic but not a physiologic opening, and closes completely between seven and 14 days of age. The same time sequence appears true for hearts from beef calves. Of the 27 hearts from beef cattle examined, six bull calves (three purebred Maine-Anjou, two Maine cross, one Shorthorn) and one 18-month-old Maine cross heifer had an ASD, which included both an opening in the atrial septum and an abnormal membrane. ASD is likely a genetic disorder of cattle, which may have a greater gene frequency in the Maine-Anjou breed.

description: A small dairy had an outbreak of neosporosis. One-third of pregnant cows aborted or gave birth to a weak, premature calf over a period of 11 weeks. Serologic results of a Neospora caninum avidity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test were indicative of widespread, recently acquired infections in the cows and also in the farm dog. This dog was accustomed to sleeping and defecating in a pile of chopped hay used in the total mixed dairy ration, so it was a possible vector of infection in this outbreak. Replacement heifers, which did not consume the mixed ration or the chopped hay, had a low seroprevalence to N. caninum and did not have abortions. A new isolate of N. caninum, designated NC-Illinois, was obtained from a premature calf. The circumstances at this dairy illustrate a specific management factor that could help prevent outbreaks of neosporosis. To reduce the risk of infecting cattle with N. caninum, dogs and coyotes, which are definitive hosts of this parasite, should be prevented from defecating in stored feedstuffs. The small dairy in this study might have prevented the outbreak by simply keeping the door to the hay room closed. Large dairies could prevent contamination of stored feedstuffs by erecting a chain-link fence with automatic gates around the area where piles of silage and commodities are kept.

description: Congenital myopathy involving the myocardium, skeletal muscle and tongue was diagnosed in 58 of 1208 aborted bovine fetuses submitted for necropsy between February 1983 and June 1994. Microscopic characteristics of muscle lesions were consistent with segmental nutritional myopathy. Liver vitamin E and selenium (Se) concentrations in 40 of the 58 fetuses with myopathies were assayed, and 38 (95%) had either a deficiency of vitamin E (n=27), Se (n=2) or both micronutrients (n=9). Over this time period, 570 bovine fetal livers, including those from the 40 of the 58 cases with congenital myopathy, were assayed for vitamin E and Se concentrations. Vitamin E values varied from non-detectable to 57 æg/g of dry weight (DW), and Se values from 0.05-10.96 æg/g (DW), indicating placental transfer of both elements and fetal ability to sequester both nutrients in the liver. For 190 cases, deficiencies of liver vitamin E (n=119), Se (n=29), or both (n=42) were the only abnormal findings.

description: An internal teat sealant containing bismuth subnitrate was used in combination with dry cow antibiotic therapy in a cow-level prospective case-control field trial in three herds with different dry cow management practices. Treated quarters (antibiotic+sealant) had a 59% lower odds of developing a new dry period infection at 1-3 days-in-milk (DIM) than control (antibiotic only) quarters (P<0.001). Herd-level variation in new intramammary infection (IMI) and mastitis treatment rates during the first 100 DIM were observed. Greatest benefits from internal teat sealant use were documented in herds with the highest rates of new IMI during the dry period, and for environmental streptococci. Economic benefit accrued from differences in the timing of treatment for mastitis was estimated to be $5.38 per cow in the herd.

description: In this paper, we study the effectiveness of phishing blacklists. We used 191 fresh phish that were less than 30 minutes old to conduct two tests on eight anti-phishing toolbars. We found that 63% of the phishing campaigns in our dataset lasted less than two hours. Blacklists were ineffective when protecting users initially, as most of them caught less than 20% of phish at hour zero. We also found that blacklists were updated at different speeds, and varied in coverage, as 47% - 83% of phish appeared on blacklists 12 hours from the initial test. We found that two tools using heuristics to complement blacklists caught significantly more phish initially than those using only blacklists. However, it took a long time for phish detected by heuristics to appear on blacklists. Finally, we tested the toolbars on a set of 15,345 legitimate URLs for false positives, and did not find any instance of mislabeling for either blacklists or heuristics. We present these findings and discuss ways in which anti-phishing tools can be improved.

description: We study the edge-channel transport of electrons in a high-mobility Si/SiGe two-dimensional electron system in the quantum Hall regime. By selectively populating the spin-resolved edge channels, we observe suppression of the scattering between two edge channels with spin-up and spin-down. In contrast, when the Zeeman splitting of the spin-resolved levels is enlarged with tilting magnetic field direction, the spin orientations of both the relevant edge channels are switched to spin-down, and the inter-edge-channel scattering is strongly promoted. The evident spin dependence of the adiabatic edge-channel transport is an individual feature in silicon-based two-dimensional electron systems, originating from a weak spin-orbit interaction.

description: The emergence of a predominant phenotype within a cell population is often triggered by a rare accumulation of DNA mutations in a single cell. For example, tumors may be initiated by a single cell in which multiple mutations cooperate to bypass a cell's defense mechanisms. The risk of such an event is thus determined by the extremal accumulation of mutations across tissue cells. To address this risk, we study the statistics of the maximum mutation numbers in a generic, but tested, model of a renewing cell population. By drawing an analogy between the genealogy of a cell population and the theory of branching random walks, we obtain analytical estimates for the probability of exceeding a threshold number of mutations and determine how the statistical distribution of maximum mutation numbers scales with age and cell population size.

description: Given the important role that meta-cognitive processes play in learning, intelligent tutoring systems should not only provide domain-specific assistance, but should also aim to help students in acquiring meta-cognitive skills. As a step toward this goal, we have constructed a Help Tutor, aimed at improving students’ help-seeking skill. The Help Tutor is based on a cognitive model of students’ desired help-seeking processes, as they work with a Cognitive Tutor (Aleven et al., 2004). To provide metacognitive tutoring in conjunction with cognitive tutoring, we designed an architecture in which the Help Tutor and a Cognitive Tutor function as independent agents, to facilitate re-use of the Help Tutor. Pilot tests with four students showed that students improved their help-seeking behavior significantly while working with the Help Tutor. The improvement could not be attributed to their becoming more familiar with the domainspecific skills being taught by the tutor. Although students reported afterwards that they welcomed feedback on their help-seeking behavior, they seemed less fond of it when actually advised to act differently while working. We discuss our plans for an experiment to evaluate the impact of the Help Tutor on students’ help-seeking behavior and learning, including future learning, after their work with the Help Tutor.

description: In AdS/CFT duality, it is often argued that information behind the event horizon is encoded even in boundary correlators. However, its implication is not fully understood. We study a simple model which can be analyzed explicitly. The model is a two-dimensional scalar field propagating on the s-wave sector of the BTZ black hole formed by the gravitational collapse of a null dust. Inside the event horizon, we placed an artificial timelike singularity where one-parameter family of boundary conditions is permitted. We compute two-point correlators with two operators inserted on the boundary to see if the parameter is reflected in the correlators. In a typical case, we give an explicit form of the boundary correlators of an initial vacuum state and show that the parameter can be read off from them. This does not immediately imply that the asymptotic observer can extract the information of the singularity since one cannot control the initial state in general. Thus, we also study whether the parameter can be read off from the correlators for a class of initial states.

Far-from-equilibrium attractors and nonlinear dynamical systems approach to the Gubser flow

description: The non-equilibrium attractors of systems undergoing Gubser flow within relativistic kinetic theory are studied. In doing so we employ well-established methods of nonlinear dynamical systems which rely on finding the fixed points, investigating the structure of the flow diagrams of the evolution equations, and characterizing the basin of attraction using a Lyapunov function near the stable fixed points. We obtain the attractors of anisotropic hydrodynamics, Israel-Stewart (IS) and transient fluid (DNMR) theories and show that they are indeed non-planar and the basin of attraction is essentially three dimensional. The attractors of each hydrodynamical model are compared with the one obtained from the exact Gubser solution of the Boltzmann equation within the relaxation time approximation. We observe that the anisotropic hydrodynamics is able to match up to high numerical accuracy the attractor of the exact solution while the second order hydrodynamical theories fail to describe it. We show that the IS and DNMR asymptotic series expansion diverge and use resurgence techniques to perform the resummation of these divergences. We also comment on a possible link between the manifold of steepest descent paths in path integrals and basin of attraction for the attractors via Lyapunov functions that opens a new horizon toward effective field theory description of hydrodynamics. Our findings indicate that anisotropic hydrodynamics is an effective theory for far-from-equilibrium fluid dynamics which resums the Knudsen and inverse Reynolds numbers to all orders.

Numerical study of the isotope effect in underdoped high-temperature superconductors: Calculation of the angle-resolved photoemission spectra

description: We present a numerical study of the isotope effect on the angle resolved photoemission spectra (ARPES) in the undoped cuprates. By the systematic-error-free Diagrammatic Monte Carlo method, the Lehman spectral function of a single hole in the tt't''-J model in the regime of intermediate and strong couplings to optical phonons is calculated for normal and isotope substituted systems. We found that the isotope effect is strongly energy-momentum dependent, and is anomalously enhanced in the intermediate coupling regime while it approaches to that of the localized hole model in the strong coupling regime. We predict the strengths of effect as well as the fine details of the ARPES lineshape change. Implications to the doped case are also discussed.

An Architecture for Privacy-Sensitive Ubiquitous Computing

description: Privacy is the most often-cited criticism of ubiquitous computing, and may be the greatest barrier to its long-term success. However, developers currently have little support in designing software architectures and in creating interactions that are effective in helping end-users manage their privacy. To address this problem, we present Confab, a toolkit for facilitating the development of privacy-sensitive ubiquitous computing applications. The requirements for Confab were gathered through an analysis of privacy needs for both end-users and application developers. Confab provides basic support for building ubiquitous computing applications, providing a framework as well as several customizable privacy mechanisms. Confab also comes with extensions for managing location privacy. Combined, these features allow application developers and end-users to support a spectrum of trust levels and privacy needs.
Anomalies, Anomalous U(1)'s and generalized Chern-Simons terms

description: A detailed analysis of anomalous U(1)'s and their effective couplings is performed both in field theory and string theory. It is motivated by the possible relevance of such couplings in particle physics, as well as a potential signal distinguishing string theory from other UV options. The most general anomaly related effective action is analyzed and parameterized. It contains Stuckelberg, axionic and Chern-Simons-like couplings. It is shown that such couplings are generically non-trivial in orientifold string vacua and are not in general fixed by anomalies. A similar analysis in quantum field theories provides similar couplings. The trilinear gauge boson couplings are also calculated and their phenomenological relevance is advocated. We do not find qualitative differences between string and field theory in this sector.

description: We present pyroomacoustics, a software package aimed at the rapid development and testing of audio array processing algorithms. The content of the package can be divided into three main components: an intuitive Python object-oriented interface to quickly construct different simulation scenarios involving multiple sound sources and microphones in 2D and 3D rooms; a fast C implementation of the image source model for general polyhedral rooms to efficiently generate room impulse responses and simulate the propagation between sources and receivers; and finally, reference implementations of popular algorithms for beamforming, direction finding, and adaptive filtering. Together, they form a package with the potential to speed up the time to market of new algorithms by significantly reducing the implementation overhead in the performance evaluation step.
