An activity-centric conceptual framework for assessing and creating positive urban soundscapes
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Positive Soundscapes Project is an interdisciplinary investigation of soundscape perception [1].
The project seeks to develop a rounded view of human perception of soundscapes by drawing
together methods from the disciplines of engineering s... Read More about An activity-centric conceptual framework for assessing and creating positive urban soundscapes.

The perception of susurration: envelopment in indoor and outdoor spaces
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W. The perception of susurration: envelopment in indoor and outdoor spaces. Presented at 18th Int. Congress on Acoustics, Kyoto, Japan

This paper investigates a connection between perceptions of indoor and outdoor soundscapes. The word susurration is used in non-scientific writing to describe sounds such as wind in trees and rushing water. It is hypothesised that these sounds give r...

Towards room acoustics for an elderly population
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W., Cox, T., Kearon, A., Longhurst, B., & Webb, C. Towards room acoustics for an elderly population. Presented at Acoustics 2000, Liverpool

A qualitative social survey has been conducted on a group of 207 elderly people with a hearing loss. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which acoustic problems in the built environment affect this subject group. The project was th...

Identification of 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata (Passeridae, Aves)
Journal Article
(Passeridae, Aves). Molecular ecology notes (Print), 5, 298-301. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1471-8286.2005.00907.x

Polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in order to determine paternity in a captive
population of the zebra finch,
Taeniopygia guttata
. Primer sets from 93 published passerine
microsatellite sequences were tested for cross-species ampli... Read More about Identification of 13 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the zebra finch, Taeniopygia guttata (Passeridae, Aves).
