Perception of low frequencies in small rooms (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., & Avis, M. (2004, September). Perception of low frequencies in small rooms. Presented at IV Congreso Ibero-Americano de Acustica, Guimaraes, Portugal

Critical listening rooms are spaces carefully designed to provide the listener with an accurate listening environment. It is well known that in small rooms, resonances may occur that will cause some amplification or attenuation of sound at certain fr... Read More about Perception of low frequencies in small rooms.

Sensitivity of spectral reflectance to variation in live fuel moisture content at leaf and canopy (2004)
Journal Article
Bowyer, P., & Danson, F. (2004). Sensitivity of spectral reflectance to variation in live fuel moisture content at leaf and canopy. Remote Sensing of Environment, 92(3), 297-308. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2004.05.020

Wildland fires burn large areas of the earth's land surface annually, causing significant environmental damage and danger to human health. In order to mitigate the effects, and to better manage the incidence of such fires, fire behaviour models are u...

Handwriting authentication by envelopes of sound signature (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Li, F. (2004, August). Handwriting authentication by envelopes of sound signature. Presented at 17th International Conference on Pattern Recognition, 2004. ICPR 2004., Cambridge, United Kingdom

Frictions between a rigid-nib pen and paper result in audible sounds that are correlated with the dynamics of writing. Such writing-sounds were previously used as a biometric identity to achieve writer authentication. This paper presents an alternati...

Gain assisted propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on planar metallic waveguides (2004)
Journal Article
Nezhad, M., Tetz, K., & Fainman, Y. (2004). Gain assisted propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on planar metallic waveguides. Optics Express, 12(17), 4072-4079. https://doi.org/10.1364/OPEX.12.004072

The propagation of surface plasmon polaritons on metallic waveguides adjacent to a gain medium is considered. It is shown that the presence of the gain medium can compensate for the absorption losses in the metal. The conditions for existence of a su...

Making do - the eighth category of waste (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (2004, August). Making do - the eighth category of waste. Presented at 12th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Helsingor, Denmark

The seminal authors on the Toyota Production System present a list of seven wastes. Even if many subsequent authors have suggested additions to this list, it is usually presented in its original form. This paper contends that there is a very common,...

Distribution and clinical significance of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in ovarian cancer (2004)
Journal Article
Davies, E., Blackhall, F., Shanks, J., David, G., McGown, A., Swindell, R., …Jayson, G. (2004). Distribution and clinical significance of heparan sulfate proteoglycans in ovarian cancer. Clinical Cancer Research, 10(15), 5178-5186. https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-03-0103

Purpose: Heparan sulfate proteoglycans have been implicated in cancer cell growth, invasion, metastasis, and angiogenesis. This study was designed to compare their expression in normal ovary and ovarian tumors and then to examine their prognostic sig...

Response of multiple rigid porous layers to high levels of continuous acoustic excitation (2004)
Journal Article
Umnova, O., Attenborough, K., Shin, H., & Cummings, A. (2004). Response of multiple rigid porous layers to high levels of continuous acoustic excitation. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.1766051

A model has been developed for the response of a rigid-porous hard-backed medium containing an arbitrary number of layers to high amplitude sound. Nonlinearity is introduced by means of a velocity-dependent flow resistivity in Johnson's equivalent fl...
