This study investigates the indoor acoustical characteristics of a Middle Byzantine masonry church in Cappadocia. The Bell Church is partial ruins; therefore, archival data and church’s remains are used for its reconstruction. aims to formulate methodology realistic simulation by testing applicability different approaches, including field laboratory tests. By conducting qualitative quantitative...

In ordinary public rooms absorbent ceilings are normally used. However, reflective material such as diffusers can also be useful to improve the acoustic performance for this type of environment. study, different combinations absorbers and have been The study investigates whether a test group 29 people perceived sound in an room differently depending on treatment. Comparisons same position confi...

Development of state-of-the-art selective adsorbent materials for recovery rare earth elements (REEs) is essential their sustainable usage. In this study, a metal-organic framework (MOF), MIL-101(Cr), was synthesized and post-synthetically modified with optimised loading the organophosphorus compounds tributyl phosphate (TBP), bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen (D2EHPA, HDEHP) bis(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl...

The Institute of Public Health of the Osijek-Baranja County has processed the data on cancer patients that were collected from mandatory county hospitals data reports, county bureaus of statistics and the County Register of Deaths. The cancers were defined according the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision (ICD-10), codes of malignant n...

Background: Individuals at 80 years of age or above with exceptional memory are considered SuperAgers (SA), an operationalized definition successful cognitive aging. SA showed increased thickness and altered functional connectivity in the anterior cingulate cortex as a neurobiological signature. However, their metabolic alterations yet to be uncovered. Objective: Herein, (FDG-PET), amyloid (PIB...

Concrete structures such as rigid pavements, tunnels, and runways at airports are usually subject to fatigue traffic loading during their service life. Research on the aftereffects of drying–wetting cycles coupled with alternating loads concrete erosion in saline–alkali coastal areas is considerable practical importance. For this study, we utilized specimens dimensions 100 mm × 400 strength rat...

The aim of this research was to determine the survival rate, dimensions, and wood quality black locust, ash-leaf maple, common American ash introduced landfill “Adamów” Power Plant as part reclamation process. experimental area consisted 13 plots. On three plots where trees were planted directly into ash, completely collapsed. As a result research, it found that locust had best rates, whereas w...

Humidity change in concrete is the leading cause of shrinkage. Moreover, moisture diffusion coefficient an essential parameter for assessing and predicting internal content concrete. However, there a lack theoretical construction experimental studies on effect different conditions, especially constraints, Therefore, humidity, pore structure parameters, basic mechanical properties under strength...

The Cistercian order is of acoustic interest because previous research has hypothesized that architectural structures were designed for longer reverberation times in to reinforce Gregorian chants. presented study focused on an archaeoacacoustics analysis the Beaulieu Abbey (Hampshire, England, UK), using Geometrical Acoustics (GA) recreate and investigate acoustical properties original structur...
