When an ear infection needed surgery, Kentucky Children's Hospital physicians stepped up
University of Kentucky

acey Cundiff knew she had to say something. Her five-year-old daughter had been sick for days, bouncing between visits to their family doctor and local emergency room — but no one had been able to provide a solid diagnosis. Lacey and her daughter, Anna Kerri, had been directed to UK HealthCare’s Makenna David Pediatric Emergency Center. For any mom, seeing her daughter in an emergency room bed late at night was both scary and intimidating, but the doctor leaning over Anna Kerri’s bed put Lacey at ease.

Taming Noise Behind Bars #Acoustics23
Acoustical Society of America (ASA)

James Boland, an acoustician for SLR Consulting, employed insights from the field of sensory criminology to better understand the unique acoustic needs inside prison environments. By focusing on speech intelligibility, strategic reduction of noise levels, and the incorporation of privacy considerations, acoustic design can significantly improve the overall prison environment. Creating distinct zones within the prison and balancing moments of quiet with activity are essential to fostering a more comfortable and secure space.

Singing in the Rain: Why the Bundengan Sounds Better Wet #Acoustics23
Acoustical Society of America (ASA)

Gea Oswah Fatah Parikesit and their team at Universitas Gadjah Mada have investigated the physics behind why the bundengan, a portable shelter woven from bamboo that features a collection of strings and bamboo bars, sounds better when played in the rain. The bundengan is constructed by weaving bamboo splits, which are covered by overlapping bamboo culm sheaths with ropes to secure everything in place. When wet, the culm sheaths seek to return to their curled form, but tied down in their planar formation, they instead press into each other. The resulting tension allows the sheaths to vibrate together.
