Studies in modal density – its effect at low frequencies (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Wankling, M., & Fazenda, B. (2009, November). Studies in modal density – its effect at low frequencies. Presented at Reproduced Sound 25, Brighton

The ability to objectively measure the reproduction quality of a small room at low frequencies has long been desired. Over many years, there have been attempts to produce recommendations, metrics, and criteria by which to define a particular room. Th...

The syntheses of mesoporous MCM-41 silica phases containing the heteroatoms Al, B, Zn, were carried out making use of trimethyl ammonium bromide surfactants of chain lengths C8–C16. The resulting materials were fully characterised by wet chemical and...

Model to predict the level and the temporal and spectral composition of the sound pressure in urban soundscapes based on neural networks (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Torija Martinez, A., Ruiz, D., & Ramos-Ridao, A. (2009, October). Model to predict the level and the temporal and spectral composition of the sound pressure in urban soundscapes based on neural networks. Presented at Euronoise 2009, Edinburgh, U.K

Environmental noise is a factor with a significant impact on personal well-being. One of the
principal challenges of urban planning is the creation of soundscapes capable of providing
inhabitants with a high quality of life. In the framework of the... Read More about Model to predict the level and the temporal and spectral composition of the sound pressure in urban soundscapes based on neural networks.

Aerodynamic analysis of transonic manoeuvre devices using an unstructured-grid, Navier-Stokes flow solver (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Johnston, L. (2009, October). Aerodynamic analysis of transonic manoeuvre devices using an unstructured-grid, Navier-Stokes flow solver. Presented at CEAS 2009 European Air and Space Conference, Manchester, United Kingdom

The viscous, transonic flow development around the SKF 1.1 supercritical aerofoil section, in clean configuration and equipped with either a trailing-edge flap or a leading-edge slat, is computed using an unstructured-grid based flow solver for the R...

Measuring and mapping soundscape speech intelligibility (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W., Mahnken, P., Gamble, P., & Plack, C. (2009, October). Measuring and mapping soundscape speech intelligibility. Presented at Euronoise 2009, Edinburgh, U.K

More than one factor analysis of soundscape perception has concluded that speech communication is a significant contributor to the overall perceived quality of urban soundscapes. While not everything that is perceptually significant in real soundscap... Read More about Measuring and mapping soundscape speech intelligibility.

A positive soundscape evaluation system (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Current policy on environmental sound is largely based on noise control. There is considerable interest in exploiting the soundscape concept to provide a more sophisticated way of managing our acoustic environment. For this to happen, a tool for asse...
