Sound Reflections in Indian Stepwells: Modelling Acoustically Retroreflective Architecture
Retroreflection is rarely used as a surface treatment in architectural acoustics but is found incidentally with building surfaces that have many simultaneously visible concave right-angle trihedral corners.

Airtime: Integrating Acoustics into the Design Process [PDF]
Background As part of the sensory experience, acoustics serves an important role in facilitating the social functions of a space. The acoustic response of a space plays a part in determining its social atmosphere, as well as how it functions for certain ...

Research Progress on Curved Plates in China: Applications in Architecture
Curved surfaces can give plates a unique aesthetic effect and physical advantages in acoustics and optics. Assembling such curved plates can greatly improve the image of buildings and enrich their functions. It is thus not surprising to notice that their

Advances in architectural acoustics.
Four areas of research in architectural acoustics in which significant advances have been achieved recently are discussed. 1. Reliable determination of subjective preference of concert hall acoustics by means of faithful (three-dimensional) reproduction of music recorded in concert halls with an acoustically realistic dummy head: The main new result ...

Acoustically Manipulating Internal Structure of Disk-in-Sphere Endoskeletal Droplets [PDF]
Manipulation of micro/nano particles has been well studied and demonstrated by optical, electromagnetic, and acoustic approaches, or their combinations. Manipulation of internal structure of droplet/particle is rarely explored and remains challenging due to its complicated nature.

Higher Sound Levels in K-12 Classrooms Correlate to Lower Math Achievement Scores
Sound levels from occupied classrooms have been gathered from 220 classrooms across four grade levels (3, 5, 8 and 11) over six school days each and processed with k-means clustering into speech and non-speech clusters.

Speaker conditioning of acoustic models using affine transformation for multi-speaker speech recognition [PDF]
This study addresses the problem of single-channel Automatic Speech Recognition of a target speaker within an overlap speech scenario. In the proposed method, the hidden representations in the acoustic model are modulated by speaker auxiliary information to recognize only the desired speaker.

Acoustic architecture before science. The case of Amsterdam's Concertgebouw
Concert halls are designed for attentively listening to music. To guarantee that the listening experience mediated by these buildings is acoustically correct, architects rely upon math- ematical formulas to measure and predict how a building will sound ...
