Personality and cognitive factors in the assessment of multimodal stimuli in immersive virtual environments (2019)
Thesis
Bailey, J. Personality and cognitive factors in the assessment of multimodal stimuli in immersive virtual environments. (Thesis). University of Salford

Literature in the study of human response to immersive virtual reality systems often deals with the phenomenon of presence. It can be shown that audio and imagery with spatial information can interact to affect presence in users of immersive virtual...

Volume diffusers for architectural acoustics (2011)
Thesis
Hughes, R. Volume diffusers for architectural acoustics. (Thesis). University of Salford

Most conventional diffusers are used on room surfaces, and consequently can only operate on a hemispherical area. Placing a diffuser in the volume of a room may provide greater efficiency by allowing scattering into the whole space. There are very fe...

The role of smell in urban design (2011)
Thesis

The dominance of sight in built environmental design and management is well documented with smell overlooked by built environment professionals, considered of primarily negative influence upon experience and perception. However odour has special char... Read More about The role of smell in urban design.

Blind estimation of room acoustic parameters from speech and music signals (2009)
Thesis
Kendrick, P. Blind estimation of room acoustic parameters from speech and music signals. (Thesis). University of Salford

The acoustic character of a space is often quantified using objective room acoustic parameters. The measurement of these parameters is difficult in occupied conditions and thus measurements are usually performed when the space is un-occupied. This is...

Acoustics of activated carbon (2008)
Thesis
Bechwati, F. Acoustics of activated carbon. (Thesis). Salford : University of Salford

This thesis describes a study into how sound interacts with activated carbon, a material that
exhibits adsorbing and desorbing properties. Adsorption is where molecules from the
surrounding gas are attracted to the material microstructure and hel... Read More about Acoustics of activated carbon.

Time domain boundary element method for room acoustics (2007)
Thesis
Hargreaves, J. Time domain boundary element method for room acoustics. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis is about improving the suitability of the time domain Boundary Element Method (BEM) for predicting the scattering from surface treatments used to improve the acoustics of rooms. The discretised integral equations are typically solved by m... Read More about Time domain boundary element method for room acoustics.

Improved membrane absorbers (2006)
Thesis
Oldfield, R. Improved membrane absorbers. (Dissertation). The University of Salford

This thesis presents research into two novel techniques for improving the low frequency performance, tunability and efficiency of membrane absorbers. The first approach uses a loudspeaker surround as the mounting for the membrane, increasing the movi... Read More about Improved membrane absorbers.

Objective and subjective evaluation of reflecting and diffusing surfaces in auditoria (1992)
Thesis
Cox, T. Objective and subjective evaluation of reflecting and diffusing surfaces in auditoria. (Thesis). University of Salford

The performance of reflectors and diffusers used in auditoria have been
evaluated both objectively and subjectively.
Two accurate systems have been developed to measure the scattering
from surfaces via the cross correlation function. These have be... Read More about Objective and subjective evaluation of reflecting and diffusing surfaces in auditoria.

The effects of centrifugal blowers, control valves, attenuating devices and reservoir resonance on organ pipe flutter
Thesis
Taylor, A. (in press). The effects of centrifugal blowers, control valves, attenuating devices and reservoir resonance on organ pipe flutter. (Thesis). Computing,Science and Engineering

The aim of this research is to investigate the noticeable organ pipe flutter that may, under certain conditions, exist on a sounding organ pipe. The effectiveness of a pipe organ wind system is notoriously difficult to predict. For many years pipe or...
