Acoustic design guidelines for adults with intellectual disability
Authors:Şaher, Konca; Nijs, Lau; Hordijk, Truus
Publisher and Date:(European Acoustics Association EAA, 2014)This paper concentrates on the acoustic design aspects of the living rooms in institutions for adults with intellectually disability. In the living rooms for adults with ID there is even a higher stress on the acoustics since they are more dependent on the acoustical environment compared to normal population. Moreover prevalence of hearing impairment among adults with ID is around 30% and in most cases it is not even recognised. Therefore the rooms for adults with ID need to be designed by taking ...

The Effect of Reverberation Time and Signal-to-Noise Ratio On Word Recognition Scores By Adults and Children in Classrooms
This paper seeks to assess the effect of reverberation time, distribution of reverberation time over the frequency range and signal-to-noise ratio on speech intellibility by adults and children in classrooms by the use of phonetically balanced monosyllabic Turkish word recognition tests. Two sets of 25-items phonetically balanced monosyllabic Turkish words were recorded in a full anechoic chamber. Auralizations of the recordings were developed in an acoustic simulation software for a range of ...

Kılıç Ali Paşa Camii akustik mirası değerlendirmesi : modern bir camii ile akustik performans karşılaştırması
Tarihi cami yapılarının korunmasında görsel algı dışında işitselliğin mekandaki algısının farkındalığını sağlamak düşünülmüştür. Bu çalışmada Mimar Sinan'nın önemli yapısı olan Kılıç Ali Paşa Camisi'nin restorasyon sürecindeki akustik değerlendirmesive günümüz modern cami yapısı ile akustik performans karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Arşiv taramaları, mimari projeler, yerinde görme, bilgi ve belge araştırmaları yapılmıştır. Kılıç Ali Paşa Camii ve İmam-ı Azam Camisi'ne ait autocad ve sketchup ...

Mountain Bike Venue Test Event Noise Assessment London 2012 Olympic And Paralympic Games
This article reports the results of the noise monitoring during the London 2012 Mountain Biking Test Event which was held at Hadleigh Farm. The noise monitoring was held during the Mountain Bike Test Event for two purposes: Firstly as part of the requirements of Environmental Management Plan for the Test Event to ensure that no noise disturbance was being caused and the noise levels were below the agreed criterion of 65 dB(A) at the noise sensitive receptors during the Test Event and secondly to ...

Room Acoustic Modelling of a Reverberation Chamber
Authors:Şaher, Konca; Nas, Sezin; Karaböce, Baki; Kırbaş, Cafer; Bilgiç, Eyüp
Publisher and Date:(German Acoustical Society (DEGA), 2016)This paper aims at comparing measured broadband reverberation time values in the reverberation chamber of Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey - National Metrology Institute (TUBITAK-UME) in Gebze Turkey with the simulated reverberation time values from the room acoustical modelling of the same reverberation chamber. The reverberation chamber in TUBITAK-UME has a volume of 263m3 total inner surface area of 262 m2 and 16 diffusers made of Plexiglas and hung randomly in the room. ...
