Excess phase effects and modulation transfer function degradation in relation to loudspeakers and rooms intended for the quality control monitoring of music (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Holland, K., Newell, P., Castro, S., & Fazenda, B. (2006, January). Excess phase effects and modulation transfer function degradation in relation to loudspeakers and rooms intended for the quality control monitoring of music. Presented at Institute of Acoustics

Previous papers 1, 2 have discussed the effects of loudspeaker alignment and resonances on the accuracy of reproduction of low frequency audio signals, and a system of modulation transfer function (MTF) measurement was developed which incorporated bo...

Measurement of sound quality for critical listening (2005)
Presentation / Conference
Fazenda, B., Holland, K., & Newell, P. (2005, July). Measurement of sound quality for critical listening. Presented at 12th International Congress on Sound and Vibration, Lisbon

For the critical assessment of music recordings the uniformity of the pressure amplitude response with respect to frequency has robustly been defended as one of the principals of prime importance for any electro-acoustic monitoring system. This has b... Read More about Measurement of sound quality for critical listening.

A literature review on information coordination in construction
Presentation / Conference
Biscaya, S., & Tah, H. A literature review on information coordination in construction. Presented at The Seventh International Postgraduate Conference in the Built and Human Environment, Salford, UK

Currently in Portugal, procedures for gathering construction project information as well as coordinating and communicating the information amongst all the stakeholders in the process are extremely bureaucratic, confusing and awfully time-consuming....
