The underlying theory of project management is obsolete (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L., & Howell, G. (2002, June). The underlying theory of project management is obsolete. Presented at The PMI Research Conference, Seattle, Washington

In prior literature, it has been generally seen that there is no explicit theory of project management. We contend that it is possible to precisely point out the underlying theoretical foundation of project management as espoused in the PMBOK Guide b...

Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2002, June). Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers. Presented at 21st Audio Engineering Society Convention, Saint Petersburg, Russia

Conventional pistonic loudspeakers excite the modes of an enclosed sound field in such a way as to introduce modal artefacts which may be problematic for listeners to high-quality reproduced sound [1]. Their amelioration may involve the use of high... Read More about Low frequency room excitation using distributed mode loudspeakers.

From concert halls to noise barriers : attenuation from interference gratings (2002)
Presentation / Conference
Davies, W. (2002, March). From concert halls to noise barriers : attenuation from interference gratings. Presented at Acoustics 2002, Salford, Greater Manchester

The seat dip effect is a low-frequency attenuation affecting sound travelling at grazing incidence over seating in auditoria. It is caused by scattered sound from the seats interfering with sound travelling directly from the source on the stage. In o...
