Examines the implications of the mana... Read More about Creativity circles in information management.

New attributes of seat dip attenuation (1994)
Journal Article
Davies, W., & Lam, Y. (1994). New attributes of seat dip attenuation. Applied Acoustics, 41(1), 1-23. https://doi.org/10.1016/0003-682X%2894%2990082-5

New measurements have been made on the low-frequency attenuation of an impulse excitation over-seating in an unoccupied concert hall and on scale model seats. Two new attributes of the phenomenon were found the attenuation varied over time and the wi... Read More about New attributes of seat dip attenuation.

Measuring auditorium seat absorption (1994)
Journal Article
Davies, W., Orlowski, R., & Lam, Y. (1994). Measuring auditorium seat absorption. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 96(2), 879-888. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.410263

There is a need for a more accurate laboratory measurement method to predict auditorium seat absorption. The traditional method tends to overpredict the absorption of the exposed front and sides of seating blocks. An alternative reverberation chamber...

A physiological model of the human cough reflex : investigations of the afferent pathway and antitussive studies (1994)
Thesis
Lowry, R. A physiological model of the human cough reflex : investigations of the afferent pathway and antitussive studies. (Thesis). University of Salford

Cough is a common symptom of respiratory disease. Assessment of antitussives has relied mainly on animal studies and clinical trials in which recording of natural cough is difficult. This thesis describes the use of ultrasonically nebulized distil... Read More about A physiological model of the human cough reflex : investigations of the afferent pathway and antitussive studies.
