An annoyance-related SNQ for the assessment of airborne sound insulation for urban-type sounds.

Applied Acoustics, 2020
The sound insulation provided by a certain construction element is usually presented through Single-Number Quantities (SNQs). These SNQs are global values used to summarize the sound insulation that a construction element has as function of the frequency.

A Review of the Unintended Consequences of Biochar in Various Applications

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biochar is widely promoted as a sustainable material for applications ranging from soil amendment to energy storage and construction materials. This review critically examines the often‐overlooked and unintended consequences of biochar, including variability in properties, safety risks, and performance limitations.

Revealing Permafrost Continuity Across a Northern Watershed With Airborne Electromagnetics

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Permafrost thawing in northern regions may alter groundwater‐surface water dynamics, thereby impacting hydrologic and ecologic functions and the potential release of stored solutes including carbon. Here, we present an airborne frequency‐domain electromagnetic survey over a discontinuous permafrost region within the Central Mackenzie Valley in

ACOUSTIC AND THERMAL PERFORMANCE OF MODULAR WALL SYSTEMS: DIAGNOSIS AND INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 1, Page 229-238, April 2026.
Abstract Modular construction offers clear advantages over traditional building methods, including shorter construction times, reduced on‐site labor, improved quality control, and lighter structural systems. Despite these benefits, concerns remain regarding the thermal and acoustic performance of modular solutions, particularly those based on ...
