Five decades after the first description of the humpback whale song in the Northern Hemisphere, and two decades after the first description of a cultural revolution in the eastern Australian population, this Note provides evidence of an abrupt change (leastways) of the song occurred in 2018 season, in breeding stock A. This intense song change meas...
The maned wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus; Illiger, 1815) is considered the largest canid in South America, it has crepuscular nocturnal behavior, solitary and skittish habits. Its vocalization has different classifications, one of them called roar-barks, which helps in long-distance communication, being ideal for passive acoustic monitoring. For the s...

Avian survey is a time-consuming and challenging task, often being conducted in remote and sometimes inhospitable locations. In this context, the development of automated acoustic landscape monitoring systems for bird survey is essential. We conducted a comparative study between two machine learning methods for the detection and identification of 2...
The humpback whales from the breeding stock A are recovering and currently, the whales are observed throughout northeastern Brazil. Since 2014, monitoring studies of humpbacks have begun in Serra Grande, a region where the continental shelf is narrower in the Brazilian coast, allowing the whales to approach near the coast. Land-based visual monitor...

Sound emissions by ships and boats can strongly impact marine life, with potential to affect communications, breeding and prey and predator relationships. Automatic detection of boat signatures in underwater audio recordings is thus an important task. Automated solutions are particularly relevant for monitoring preservation areas where the presence...
Underwater gas reservoirs are used in many situations. In particular, Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) facilities that are currently being developed intend to store greenhouse gases inside geological formations in the deep sea. In these formations, however, the gas might percolate, leaking back to the water and eventually to the atmosphere. The ear...

Hydroelectric power plants (HPP) constitute one of the main forms of energy generation in the world, and its operation produces underwater noise through generators and turbines, which can potentially impact the aquatic fauna. Anthropogenic noise is a stressful factor and can affect behaviour, physiology and acoustic communication of many animal spe...
Humpback whales migrate to the Brazilian coast during the austral winter to reproduce and calve. Males sing long complex songs with repetitive patterns, and each population has its own song version that changes over time. The objectives of this study were: 1) to define the song structure in 2014 and 2015 in the Brazilian breeding area; 2) to analyz...
Acoustic communication plays an important role for whales due to the propagation efficiency of sounds over long distances in the marine environment. While humpback whales’ song is emitted only by males mainly during the breeding season, social sounds (calls or sounds produced on the surface of water through aerial behaviors) are produced by both ma...
Durante el proceso de magnetización de un material ferromagnético, las paredes de los dominios magnéticos son forzadas a moverse bajo la influencia del campo magnético. Para que las paredes se puedan mover deben superar la resistencia producida por los puntos de anclaje (borde de grano, dislocaciones, inclusiones, etc.), ocasionando saltos discreto...
The problem of detecting a signal of known form in a noisy message is a long-studied problem. In this paper, we formulate it as the test of a sharp hypothesis, and propose the Full Bayesian significance test of Pereira and Stern as the tool for the job. We study the FBST in the signal detection problem using simulated data, and also using data from...

In a recent paper, we have proposed an unsupervised algorithm for audio signal segmentation entirely based on Bayesian methods. In its first implementation, however, the method showed poor computational performance. In this paper we address this question by describing a fast parallel implementation using the Cython library for Python; we use open G...

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) migrate to the Brazilian coast during the winter and spring to breed and calve. During this time, the males sing complex songs related to mating. Although most of the studies on acoustic communication of the species are focused on song, humpback whales also use other “social sounds” to communicate. Non-song...
The movement of magnetic domain walls can be disturbed by material defects, also named pinning sites. When the magnetic field is changing, the domain walls move by “jumps” over these pinning sites. These jumps produce the so named magnetic Barkhausen noise (MBN). During walls movements also low amplitude and high frequency elastic waves are generat...
When a slowly variable magnetic field (∼ Hz) is applied through a yoke on a ferromagnetic material, discontinuous changes on the magnetic flow density are produced. This phenomenon, called Magnetic Barkhausen Noise (MBN), obeys the movement of magnetic domain walls and its frequency range is about [10–100] kHz. It involves sudden magnetization chan...
