Is a high tone pointy? Speakers of different languages match Mandarin Chinese tones to visual shapes differently by Shang, Nan, Styles, Suzy J.

“…Across both studies, we replicated the previously observed ‘u-curvy, i-pointy’ sound/shape cross-modal correspondence in all groups. However, Tones were mapped differently by people with different language backgrounds: speakers of Mandarin Chinese classified as Chinese-dominant systematically matched Tone 1 (high, steady) to the curvy shape and Tone 4 (falling) to the pointy shape, while English speakers with no knowledge of Chinese preferred to match Tone 1 (high, steady) to the pointy shape and Tone 3 (low, dipping) to the curvy shape. …”

Ultrasound backscattering from cancellous bone by Zhou, JieQun.

“…There are three theoretical models explaining the scattering phenomenon in the cancellous bone: the Faran Model, Weak Scattering Model and the Binary Mixture Model, all of them have shown success in modeling scattering from soft tissue.The main objectives of the study was to assess effectiveness of Binary Mixture Model as the theoretical scattering model from cancellous bone by a direct comparison with experimental measurements, the study explored the correlation between BUB coefficient and age-related osteoporosis.…”

From Liquid to Stone: Reimagining the design of concrete structures for reuse by Donovan, Inge, Schnitzler, Jenna

“…In a future where buildings are increasingly seen as stockpiles for subsequent reuse, the reinvention of concrete structures is an imperative that presents an opportunity for a new tectonic – concrete is no longer a liquid poured once and cured on site, but instead is a material more akin to stone, retaining value across multiple lifespans.…”
