Newswise — WASHINGTON, D.C., October 30, 2015 – Researchers investigating the effects of Arctic ice melt on seasonal whale migrations, probing cancerous cells with acoustic levitation and hijacking mating signals of the Asian Citrus Psyllid to prevent citrus greening will describe their latest findings during a webcast press event on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015.
The event will be streamed live at 10:00 a.m. from the 170th meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), which takes place Nov. 2-6 in Jacksonville, Fla. Additionally, the webcast will be available for download 24 hours after the conference ends. To register, please visit http://www.aipwebcasting.com.
Reporters can submit questions for the researchers in real time through the webcast interface. For more information, please contact Jason Bardi or John Arnst.
SPEAKERS AND TOPICS
• Kate Stafford, from the University of Washington, will discuss the effects of Arctic idea melt on the migratory patterns of summer and winter whales. Her presentation, #1aAO4, "Summer and winter whales in the Pacific Arctic," will be take place on Monday, Nov. 2, 2015, at 10:40 a.m. in River Terrace 2. IMAGES and AUDIO are available for the corresponding press release.
• Richard Mankin, from the USDA, will discuss his lab’s efforts to curtail citrus greening by vibrationally interrupting the mating rituals of Asian Citrus Psyllids. His presentation, #2pABa6 "Use of vibrational duetting mimics to trap and disrupt mating of the Asian citrus psyllids, a devastating pest in Florida groves," will be take place on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015, at 2:30 p.m. in City Terrace 9. IMAGES are available for the corresponding press release.
• Timothy Doyle, from Utah Valley University, will discuss the application of a noninvasive ultrasonic technique originally developed to detect microscopic flaws in solid fuel rockets to detect cell stiffness changes associated with certain cancers and other diseases. His presentation, #3pBA5 "Acoustic levitation device for probing biological cells with high-frequency ultrasound," will be take place on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. in Clearwater. IMAGES are available for the corresponding press release.

WORLD WIDE PRESS ROOM
In the coming weeks, ASA’s World Wide Press Room will be updated with additional tips on dozens of newsworthy stories and with lay-language papers, which are 300-1200 word summaries of presentations written by scientists for a general audience and accompanied by photos, audio, and video. You can visit the site, beginning in late October, at http://acoustics.org/current-meeting.
ABOUT THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA
The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) is the premier international scientific society in acoustics devoted to the science and technology of sound. Its 7,000 members worldwide represent a broad spectrum of the study of acoustics. ASA publications include The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America (the world's leading journal on acoustics), Acoustics Today magazine, books, and standards on acoustics. The society also holds two major scientific meetings each year. For more information about ASA, visit our website at http://www.acousticalsociety.org.
