Recent education policy in the UK has encouraged universities and industry to work in partnership as a means of improving the quality of student learning and preparing graduates to enter the workplace. Indeed, both the Lambert Review of Business–Univ... Read More about Measuring engagement between industry and higher education in the built environment.

Perception of modal distribution metrics in critical listening spaces - dependence on room aspect ratios (2005)
Journal Article
Fazenda, B., Avis, M., & Davies, W. (2005). Perception of modal distribution metrics in critical listening spaces - dependence on room aspect ratios. Journal of the Audio Engineering Society, 53(12), 1128-1141

The subjective significance of two general types of metrics used to describe the "quality" of a room based on its aspect ratio are compared. Tests were carried out to evaluate differences between three virtual rooms that score extreme classifications...

Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Wilson, A., & Fazenda, B. (2005, October). Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics. Presented at Reproduced Sound 30, Birmingham, UK

As digital audio is encoded as discrete samples of the audio waveform, much can be said about the nature of the recording by the statistical properties of the sample distribution. By analysis of the probability mass function and associated summary fe... Read More about Profiling the distortion characteristics of commercial music using amplitude distribution statistics.
