In this study, we utilized immersive virtual environment technology to identify individuals’ soundscape preferences in parks and protected areas, their emotional perceptions towards these sounds, and the recreational activities they believe would be most impacted by these sounds. Findings from the study were congruent with previous research: There is a clear preference for biophony and geophony and an aversion to anthropophony. Participants also provided insight about the types of activities they found most conducive with individual sounds and soundscapes. We suggest that park and protected area managers take management actions that preserve biophonic and geophonic sounds to improve visitor experiences. We also suggest they educate visitors about the types of sounds they are likely to hear at a specific recreation setting so that visitors experiences are not negatively affected by unmet expectations. Park managers may be able to use the findings presented in this study to: Mitigate the negative impacts that anthropogenic sounds are likely to have on visitors’ experiences. Communicate with visitors about the various types of sounds present at recreation settings so visitors have more accurate expectations about possible recreation experiences. Include information on soundscapes and their impact on recreation experiences in educational materials, allowing visitors to make more informed decisions prior to their visits.}, journal={Journal of Outdoor Recreation and Tourism}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Li, Jing and Burroughs, Kaitlin and Halim, Mirza Farzana and Penbrooke, Teresa L. and Seekamp, Erin and Smith, Jordan W.}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={66–73} }

This physical property widely exists in most of the solid dielectrics but has quite weak response that often overlooked. Recently, barium strontium titanate (BST), a well-known ferroelectrics, has been reported to be a promising flexoelectric material, and thus triggered the associated studies on flexoelectricity to a new height. However, part of the researchers argued the observed flexoelectricity in BST is either by residual piezoelectricity or centric symmetry breaking during the densification process. In this paper, we would verify the flexoelectricity in BST ceramics by many comparison experiments. Our experimental result suggested the observed polarization in BST material is likely to be induced by strain gradient through flexoelectricity.}, number={12}, journal={AIP Advances}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Shu, Longlong and Wang, Tong and Jiang, Xiaoning and Huang, Wenbin}, year={2016}, month={Dec}, pages={125003} }
