Small listening rooms combine broadband decay with spatially structured low-frequency persistence, so reversible furnishing may improve one regime but not the other. Two commercial hi-fi audition rooms were measured under four sequential curtain&ndas...
In this study, the limits of using the impedance tube, or Kundt tube, are examined using the two-microphone method to obtain the normal acoustic absorption coefficient when analyzing the sound absorption properties of lightweight acoustic fabrics. Li...
This study presents the retrofit acoustic dq1esign of the Italian theatre “Cavallino Bianco”. In its historical configuration, the hall had a curved roof with a pressed-plant fiber ceiling, which was demolished and replaced with a wooden...
Silicone structural adhesives (SSAs) play a critical role in load transfer within glass curtain wall systems. With the increasing service life of existing glass curtain walls in recent years, their structural safety has become a significant concern a...
This research explores the development and validation activities of a bio-based façade system within the Basajaun H2020 project, focusing on enhancing the utilization of bio-based components within building envelopes to replace conventional so...
Introduction: The Strait of Gibraltar, a narrow gateway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, concentrates intense biotic exchange and functions as a global “ecological gate” for marine species. Despite its ecological rele...
Sub-seabed gas is commonly associated with seabed depressions known as pockmarks—the main venting sites for hydrocarbon gases to enter the water column. Sub-seabed gas accumulations are characterized by acoustically turbid or opaque zones in seismic...
The coupling effects between the stage house and the auditorium in opera houses make the sound field very complex. In the present study, the effects of stage absorption on the primary monaural objective room acoustic parameters in the seating area of...
Based on the resource conservation requirements of GB/T 50378-2019 “Green Building Evaluation Standard”, this study constructed a BIM–Ecotect collaborative analysis model and proposed a “four-dimensional integration” gre...
Bubble curtains are non-physical fish-guidance devices that modify the hydrodynamic and acoustic environment near water intakes. This study quantified the liquid-phase velocity field generated by a bubble curtain placed in the vicinity of a water int...
Protecting aquatic biodiversity while ensuring reliable hydropower production and water supply remains a core challenge for both water security and biosecurity. In this PRISMA-based systematic review, we synthesize evidence from 96 studies on fish gu...
Post-occupancy evaluations of buildings help us understand the effectiveness of building designs. Most of such evaluations focus on the overall building performance and on the indoor air environment, and few focus on individual technologies. In this...
This study employs a mixed-methods approach to investigate the current use and evolving needs of dormitory environments through a cross-analysis of existing research and user experience. A two-phased PRISMA-guided systematic literature review for bot...
