A COMSOL–MATLAB Coupled Optimization Framework for Cost-Effective Acoustic Renovation of Educational Buildings Using Wood-Based Materials

Buildings
Poor classroom acoustic conditions can impair speech intelligibility, increase cognitive load, and reduce the quality of learning environments. Simulation-guided optimization provides a promising approach for improving building acoustic performance and ...

Speech Intelligibility Test for Polish Language – Relation to the Acoustic Properties of Classrooms and Comparison to Other Languages

Archives of Acoustics, 2018
Numerous studies have shown that teachers often speak louder in classrooms because of the acoustic properties of the spaces. To improve the acoustics in classrooms, it is necessary to develop relevant acoustic criteria.

Gradient‐Conductivity Architecture Enables Synchronous Enhancement of Sensitivity and Detection Range in Multifunctional All‐Paper Sensors

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A gradient‐engineered all‐paper sensor is fabricated by integrating MXene and in situ grown AgNPs within hierarchical cellulose networks. The device breaks the sensitivity–detection range trade‐off through cascaded conductive pathways, enabling ultrahigh pressure sensitivity, humidity–pressure decoupled dual‐mode sensing, and outstanding EMI shielding,

The influence of discrete arriving reflections on perceived intelligibility and speech transmission index measurements

, 2016
The most widely used objective intelligibility measurement method, the Speech Transmission Index (STI), does not completely match the highly complex auditory perception and human hearing system.

An experimental study of a time-frame implementation of the Speech Transmission Index in fluctuating speech-like noise conditions

, 2019
Everyday communication takes place in the combined presence of reverberation and background noise, the latter having in some cases fluctuating characteristics and speech-like spectrum. To predict the speech intelligibility for fluctuating maskers, a time-

Crowd noise spectra for the calculation of the speech transmission index for public address systems [PDF]

Knowledge of interfering noise is necessary for the correct design of a public address system. Noise sound levels can be obtained, for example, from BS 5389-1.

Speech intelligibility in halls with Reverberation Enhancement Systems

Acta Acustica
Speech intelligibility is one of the most important aspects of room acoustics and is commonly evaluated in relation to objective parameters such as Reverberation Time (RT), Early Decay Time (EDT), and Clarity for speech (C50).

Deciphering the Photopolymerization‐Induced Nanostructures and Interface Formation for Submicrometer Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reveals the UV‐curing‐induced monomer‐rich domain, oligomer‐rich domain, and entangled oligomer domain. The cured submicron films in stressed state induce interlayer nano‐wrinkle structures during the deposition of the second layer. Stress‐free cured films in relaxed state form non‐diffusive, diffusive and semi‐diffusive interlayer ...
