Architectural Acoustics: General Topics in Architectural Acoustics

The Audio Arts and Acoustics department at Columbia College in Chicago acquired a new building in 2003. The facility, a former bank, contained an old steel and concrete vault that was converted to a reverberation chamber. The acoustic properties of the space, including reverberation time, modal density, and early reflection maps were analyzed and compared to a computer model. Reflectograms were...

A search for a two-body transition Υ (3S) → γA0, where A0 is a light scalar particle, followed by its decay into 2 muons has been performed using a data sample of (121 ± 1.2) × 106 Υ (3S) decays. As ΓΥ (4S)/ΓΥ (3S) ≈ 10 3, one has greater sensitivity to rare decays using Υ (3S) decays than Υ (4S) samples. The Standard Model (SM) predicts the existence of the Higgs boson to account for the diffe...

Background: Childhood trauma is a major risk factor for the development of affective disorders later in life. We sought to determine whether this risk is linked to neurostructural changes in limbic brain regions after childhood trauma. Methods: We recruited 49 medically healthy adult women (28.297.1 years of age) from the Atlanta area to include women with/without childhood trauma and with/with...

Hot topics in functional neuroradiology.

Functional neuroradiology represents a relatively new and ever-growing subspecialty in the field of neuroradiology. Neuroradiology has evolved beyond anatomy and basic tissue signal characteristics and strives to understand the underlying physiologic processes of central nervous system disease. The American Society of Functional Neuroradiology sponsors a yearly educational and scientific meetin...
