A substantial amount of studies have addressed the influence of sound on human performance. In many of these, however, the large acoustic differences between experimental conditions prevent a direct translation of the results to realistic effects of room acoustic interventions. This review identifies …

While research has shown the multiple benefits of single-bed patient rooms in hospitals, amongst which the experience of privacy and dignity, the majority of patient rooms in existing hospitals are shared. Transforming them into single-patient rooms can be time-consuming, costly or even impossible, …

Water velocity in rearing units for Atlantic salmon post-smolt can influence fish robustness. Studies have shown that training at velocities between 1-2 body lengths/second (bl/s) increases disease resistance in salmonid species. Monitoring and timely adjustments to the water velocity during post-smolt …

Het aantonen of corrosie gedetecteerd kan worden in de omtrek richting van pijpleidingen. Er wordt gebruik gemaakt van zeer dispersieve akoestische plaatgolven genaamd Lamb waves. Als transducers worden er Elektro-Magnetische Akoestische Transducers gebruikt. Corrosion inside pipelines caused by salt …
