fMRI Mapping of Brain Activity Associated with the Vocal Production of Consonant and Dissonant Intervals
0 Views •
2017
The neural correlates of listening to consonant and dissonant intervals have been widely studied, but the neural mechanisms associated with production of consonant and dissonant intervals are less well known. In this article, behavioral tests and fMRI are combined with interval identification and singing tasks to describe these mechanisms.

2025
This protocol provides step-by-step instructions for generating and troubleshooting human acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) xenografts from cell lines and fresh patient material in transiently immunosuppressed zebrafish embryos, along with guidelines for drug response assessment using flow cytometry. The experimental pipeline can also be adapted for solid tumors.
FAQs
A Site Audit compares observed conditions and documented activities with applicable requirements and established procedures. Auditors examine environmental performance through records, operational reviews, and inspections of infrastructure, then identify departures such as nonconformities or potential pollution sources. This comparison turns general environmental concerns into documented findings that can guide corrective action and demonstrate whether management practices are being followed.
Records show how activities have been managed over time, while inspections reveal conditions that documents may not capture. Reviewing both allows auditors to connect operational practices with evidence involving waste handling, emissions, water use, or possible soil and groundwater contamination. The combined approach strengthens findings and helps distinguish documented compliance from conditions requiring attention.
Nonconformities indicate where activities or conditions do not align with applicable requirements or established procedures. Pollution sources identify operations or infrastructure associated with environmental risk. Considered together, these findings help an organization prioritize corrective actions, focus remediation where it is most needed, and address underlying operational impacts rather than recording observations without meaningful follow-up.
A typical audit proceeds by reviewing relevant records, examining activities and infrastructure, assessing environmental conditions, and comparing evidence with requirements and procedures. Auditors then document nonconformities, pollution sources, and improvement opportunities. The resulting findings support corrective-action planning and provide a structured basis for communicating environmental performance to management and other interested parties.
The scope can include waste handling, emissions, water use, and indications of soil or groundwater contamination. Auditors also consider the activities and infrastructure that may create or control these impacts, along with relevant records and procedures. Reviewing these areas together connects specific site conditions to environmental performance and identifies where operational changes or remediation may be warranted.
Organizations can use audit findings to prioritize remediation, improve environmental management systems, and reduce operational impacts. The documented results also support accountability by providing information for regulators, stakeholders, and surrounding communities. This makes the audit useful not only for identifying environmental risks, but also for demonstrating that concerns have been examined and translated into management actions.
