From a profiled diffuser to an optimized absorber (2000)
Journal Article
Wu, T., Cox, T., & Lam, Y. (2000). From a profiled diffuser to an optimized absorber. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 108(2), 643-650. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.429596

The quadratic residue diffuser was originally designed for enhanced scattering. Subsequently, however, it has been found that these diffusers can also be designed to produce exceptional absorption. This paper looks into the absorption mechanism of th... Read More about From a profiled diffuser to an optimized absorber.

Surface diffusion coefficients for room acoustics : free-field measures (2000)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, T., Cox, T., Lam, Y., & D'Antonio, P. (2000). Surface diffusion coefficients for room acoustics : free-field measures. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.1310192

A surface diffusion coefficient is needed in room acoustics to enable the quality of diffusing surfaces to be evaluated. It may also facilitate more accurate geometric room acoustic models. This paper concentrates on diffusion coefficients derived fr... Read More about Surface diffusion coefficients for room acoustics : free-field measures.

Reducing seat dip attenuation (2000)
Journal Article
Davies, W., & Cox, T. (2000). Reducing seat dip attenuation. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 108(5), 2211-2218

Strategies fur reducing seat dip attenuation in concert halls are considered. It is shown that the dip is established 4 ms after the direct sound from the stage arrives at the listener. Sound scattered from the seats and floor is the main cause of th... Read More about Reducing seat dip attenuation.
