Larsen Effect
Audio feedback (also known as acoustic feedback, simply as feedback) is a positive feedback situation that may occur when an acoustic path exists between an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker) and its audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup). In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified and passed out of the loudspeaker. The sound from the loudspeaker can then be received by the microphone again, amplified further, and then passed out through the loudspeaker again. The frequency of the resulting howl is determined by resonance frequencies in the microphone, amplifier, and loudspeaker, the acoustics of the room, the directional pick-up and emission patterns of the microphone and loudspeaker, and the distance between them. The principles of audio feedback were first discovered by Danish scientist Søren Absalon Larsen, hence it is also known as the Larsen effect. Feedback is almost always considered undesirable when it occurs with a si ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Larsen Bay, American Samoa
Larsen Bay is a bay in the Western District, American Samoa. Comparable to its neighboring Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Fagatele Bay, Larsen Bay serves as a vital habitat for marine biodiversity. Larsen Bay, covering approximately 0.46 square miles, is located east of Fagatele Bay, stretching from Steps Point (American Samoa), Steps Point to Sail Rock. The bay features a steep descent to depths exceeding 500 meters and is characterized by rich coral coverage and diverse marine species. Geology The bay's geological foundation stems from volcanic activity, with its surrounding terrain shaped by erosion and volcanic collapse. Its proximity to Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Fagatele Bay and inclusion in volcanic craters, such as the adjacent Fogāmaʻa Crater, underscores its origin within the island's dynamic volcanic history. The unconsolidated ash and cinder deposits from Larsen Bay to Olotele Mountain provide essential geological insight into the region's formati ...

Cape Larsen
A cape is a clothing accessory or a sleeveless outer garment of any length that hangs loosely and connects either at the neck or shoulders. They usually cover the back, shoulders, and arms. They come in a variety of styles and have been used throughout history for many different reasons. Semantic distinction In fashion, the word "cape" usually refers to a shorter garment and "cloak" to a full-length version of the different types of garment, though the two terms are sometimes used synonymously for full-length coverings. A shoulder cape is thus sometimes called a "capelet". The fashion cape does not cover the front to any appreciable degree. In raingear, a cape is usually a long and roomy protective garment worn to keep one dry in the rain. History The first known usage of capes is unknown, but some early references we know of are from Ancient Roman military uniforms. Later on, capes were common in Middle Ages, medieval Europe, especially when combined with a Hood (headgear), ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Larsen Islands
The Larsen Islands are a small group of islands north-west of Moreton Point, the western extremity of Coronation Island, in the South Orkney Islands of Antarctica. They were discovered by Captains George Powell (mariner), George Powell and Nathaniel Palmer on the occasion of their joint cruise in December 1821. The islands were named on Petter Sørlle's chart, based upon his survey of the South Orkney Islands in 1912–1913, in honour of Carl Anton Larsen. The islands were recharted in 1933 by Discovery Investigations (DI) personnel on the ''Discovery II'', who used the name Larsen Islands for the group and named the largest island Larsen Island. This scheme was found to be confusing, so Larsen Island was renamed in 1954 by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee, UK Antarctic Place-names Committee (UK-APC) for the sloop ''James Monroe'', which was commanded by Captain Palmer at the time of discovery and anchored in this vicinity in December 1821.
