Differences in subjective loudness and annoyance depending on the road traffic noise spectrum (2014)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., & Flindell, I. (2014). Differences in subjective loudness and annoyance depending on the road traffic noise spectrum. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 1-4. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4842456

There is at present no consensus about the relative importance of low frequency content in urban
road traffic noise. The hypothesis underlying this research is that changes to different parts of
the spectrum will have different effects depending on... Read More about Differences in subjective loudness and annoyance depending on the road traffic noise spectrum.

Human response to vibration in residential environments (2014)
Journal Article
Waddington, D., Woodcock, J., Peris, E., Condie, J., Sica, G., Moorhouse, A., & Steele, A. (2014). Human response to vibration in residential environments. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 182-193. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836496

This paper presents the main findings of a field survey conducted in the United Kingdom into the human response to vibration in residential environments. The main aim of this study was to derive exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to vi... Read More about Human response to vibration in residential environments.

Exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to freight and passenger railway vibration exposure in residential environments (2014)
Journal Article
Sharp, C., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Peris, E., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2014). Exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to freight and passenger railway vibration exposure in residential environments. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 205-212. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836115

In this work, exposure-response relationships for annoyance due to freight and passenger railway vibration exposure in residential environments are developed, so as to better understand the differences in human response to these two sources of enviro...

Effect of situational, attitudinal and demographic factors on railway vibration annoyance in residential areas (2014)
Journal Article
Peris, E., Woodcock, J., Sica, G., Sharp, C., Moorhouse, A., & Waddington, D. (2014). Effect of situational, attitudinal and demographic factors on railway vibration annoyance in residential areas. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 194-204. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836495

Railway induced vibration is an important source of annoyance among residents living in the vicinity of railways. Annoyance increases with vibration magnitude. However, these correlations between the degree of annoyance and vibration exposure are wea...

Physical and numerical constraints in source modeling for finite difference simulation of room acoustics (2014)
Journal Article
Sheaffer, J., van Walstijn, M., & Fazenda, B. (2014). Physical and numerical constraints in source modeling for finite difference simulation of room acoustics. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 251-261. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4836355

In finite difference time domain simulation of room acoustics, source functions are subject to various constraints. These depend on the way sources are injected into the grid and on the chosen parameters of the numerical scheme being used. This paper...

Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method (2014)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, J., Kendrick, P., & von Hünerbein, S. (2014). Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 135(1), 82-92. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4835955

This paper describes a numerical method for simulating far-field scattering from small regions of inhomogeneous temperature fluctuations. Such scattering is of interest since it is the mechanism by which acoustic wind velocity profiling devices (Dopp...

Ex situ diet influences the bacterial community associated with the skin of red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas) (2014)
Journal Article
Antwis, R., Haworth, R., Engelmoer, D., Ogilvy, V., Fidgett, A., & Preziosi, R. (2014). Ex situ diet influences the bacterial community associated with the skin of red-eyed tree frogs (Agalychnis callidryas). PLoS ONE, 9(1), e85563. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0085563

Amphibians support symbiotic bacterial communities on their skin that protect against a range of infectious pathogens, including the amphibian chytrid fungus. The conditions under which amphibians are maintained in captivity (e.g. diet, substrate, en...

An experimental evaluation of novelty detection methods (2014)
Journal Article
Ding, X., Li, Y., Belatreche, A., & Maguire, L. (2014). An experimental evaluation of novelty detection methods. Neurocomputing, 135, 313-327. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2013.12.002

Novelty detection is especially important for monitoring safety-critical systems in which novel conditions rarely occur and knowledge about novelty in that system is often limited or unavailable. There are a large number of studies in the area of nov... Read More about An experimental evaluation of novelty detection methods.
