Expectation as a factor in the perception of soundscapes (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Bruce, N., Davies, W., & Adams, M. (2009, October). Expectation as a factor in the perception of soundscapes. Presented at Euronoise 2009, Edinburgh, U.K

This paper discusses how expectation and experience form a contributory factor in the perception of soundscapes. The research used fieldwork carried out in London and Manchester, and also a soundscape simulator in a laboratory. Through the use of an...

A positive soundscape evaluation system (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W., Adams, M., Bruce, N., Cain, R., Jennings, P., Carlyle, A., …Plack, C. (2009, October). A positive soundscape evaluation system. Presented at Euronoise 2009, Edinburgh, U.K

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...

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.

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...

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...
