Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers Theory Design and Application

This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers in acoustics. Surface diffusion is a relatively young subject area and diffuser design application and characterisation are often not well understood. Although there is greater knowledge of absorption it is also informed by new research. As two of the main design tools for altering the acoustic conditions of rooms the correct use of absorbers and diffusers is important to the creation of quality acoustics. This text details the evolution and the current state of the art in diffuser and absorber research and application. It covers a range of practical and theoretical aspects with extensive examples of installations and case studies to cater to practitioners working in the measurement modelling and design of rooms semi-enclosed spaces as well as in noise control. It is also invaluable for students and researchers wanting a grounding in acoustic treatment as well as understanding the latest developments. All chapters have been revised and brought up to date in this new edition with new applications absorbers and diffusers featured. Sustainability portable vocal booths and fast time domain models for diffusers are just a few of the new sections. Improved techniques for measurement and prediction are included as well as bringing old methods up-to-date with the latest refinements from standards and research. Most of the prediction methods in the book are now linked to open source implementations and downloadable MATLAB scripts enabling readers to exploit the knowledge in this book more readily in design and research. | Acoustic Absorbers and Diffusers Theory Design and Application

Ancient Loons Stories Pingree Told Me

Ancient Loons Stories Pingree Told Me

Ah I’m Pingree. We meet again. Splendid. Won’t you sit down?I looked around David’s room. Short of the library stacks I had never seen so many books piled into a single room. Where could I sit down? Every square inch of horizontal surface was covered. Books papers notes manuscripts—all congregated in random and chaotic disorder. This small encounter and the snapshot of the protagonist on the cover of this book introduce the reader to David E. Pingree the eminent classicist Orientalist historian of ancient science and member of the Department of the History of Mathematics at Brown University. This is a book of his stories retold by Phil Davis award-winning author and raconteur par excellence who reconstructs them from letters and many conversations with his friend Pingree. The stories trace connections between ancient characters historical and mythical and recreate a world in which the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake leads to unexpected pleasures and associations. They capture a world best described by Saul Lieberman’s quip about Gershom Scholem’s great work on the Kabala: Trash is trash; but the study of trash is scholarship and David Pingree’s imagined response Yes but there’s always something of value to be learned. The book is dedicated to preserving and promoting the specialized knowledge and thoughts of David Pingree a truly remarkable person and to inspire readers to follow academic tradition and at the same time explore unusual connections. | Ancient Loons Stories Pingree Told Me

Introduction to Systems Ecology

Introduction to Systems Ecology

Possibly the first textbook to present a practically applicable ecosystems theory Introduction to Systems Ecology helps readers understand how ecosystems work and how they react to disturbances. It demonstrates—with many examples and illustrations—how to apply the theory to explain observations and to make quantitative calculations and predictions. In this book Sven Erik Jørgensen takes a first step toward integrating thermodynamics biochemistry hierarchical organization and network theory into a holistic theory of systems ecology. The first part of the book covers the laws of thermodynamics and the basic biochemistry of living organisms as well as the constraints they impose on ecosystems. To grow and develop however ecosystems have to evade these thermodynamic and biochemical constraints so the second part of the book discusses the seven basic properties that enable ecosystems to grow develop and survive:They are open systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium. They are organized hierarchically. They have a high diversity. They have high buffer capacities toward changes. Their components are organized in cooperative networks which allows for sophisticated feedback regulation mechanisms and higher efficiencies. They contain an enormous amount of information embodied in genomes. They have emerging system properties. This timely textbook also looks at how systems ecology is applied in integrated environmental management particularly in ecological modeling and engineering and in the assessment of ecosystem health using ecological indicators. Acknowledging that there is still much room for improvement it will inspire ecologists to develop a stronger and more widely applicable ecosystem theory.
