Introduction: Nowadays multiple techniques have been developed to noise control. One the most important way is the control based on sound absorption and insulation. The purpose of current study was to improve the acoustic properties of soft polyurethane foam regarding combined sound absorption and insulation characteristics. Materials and Methods: Polyacrylonitrile and polyvinylidine fluoride ...

magnetic resonance imaging (mri) is a notable medical imaging technique that makes of phenomenon of nuclear magnetic resonance. because of the resolution and the technology being harmless, mri has considered as the most desirable imaging technique in clinical applications. the visual quality of mri plays an important role in accuracy of medical delineations that can be seriously degraded by exi...

Aims: Noise is considered the most harmful physical agents in the workplace which exposure to it can cause the harmful physical and psychological effects on worker. Since the best noise control measures is to reduce or limit the at the source, the purpose of this study was to assess the noise pollution and determine the dominant sound source in an Air production plant of a Petrochemical industr...
