ABSTRACT In Inter-Noise 2013, the authors presented a study comparing acoustic propagation measurements over a 1:100 scale model of a real-life urban topography and large-scale three-dimensional finite-difference timedomain simulations. The results were presented in octave-band sound pressure levels. As a sequel to the 2013 paper, this paper compares the results in time domain. The waveforms of...

The complexes trans-[PtBr2(NCNR2)2] (R2 = Me21, (CH2)52) were cocrystallized with 1,1,2,2-tetrabromoethane (tbe) in CH2Cl2 forming solvates 1·tbe and 2·tbe, respectively. In both solvates, tbe involved halogen bonding, viz. the C–Br···Br–Pt interactions, detected by single-crystal X-ray diffractions experiments. Appropriate density functional theory calculations (M06/def2-TZVP) performed for is...

Multiple graphical representations can significantly improve learning, provided that students make connections between them. In doing so, they need to engage in sense-making processes to build up conceptual understanding of the connections, and in fluency-building processes to fast and effortlessly use perceptual properties to make connections. We investigate how these learning processes intera...

Road traffic noise is the most pervasive source of ambient outdoor pollution in Europe. Traffic prediction models vary parameterisation and therefore may produce different estimates levels depending on geographical setting terms emissions sources propagation field. This paper compares three such models: European standard, Common Noise Assessment Methods for EU Member States (hereafter, CNOSSOS)...
