sound power is considered as an excellent measure for evaluating the efficiency of noise controls as well as for comparing noise sources in workrooms. this parameter can be determined by sound pressure or intensity based methods in real conditions of workrooms. this paper aims empirically to compare these in situ methods in relation to a typical industrial machine located in workroom in terms o...

abstract since for some reasons such as studying the behaviour of old construction materials and proper replacement of the deteriorated sections, adequate knowledge about the true in situ strength of the construction materials has become a necessity, many attempts have been made to invent and develop new in situ methods in recent years. most of these methods measure the in situ strengths of mat...

Lung mechanics are an important determinant of physiological and pathophysiological lung function. Recent light microscopy studies of the intact lung have furthered the understanding of lung mechanics but used methodologies that may have introduced artifacts. To address this concern, we employed a short working distance water immersion objective to capture confocal images of a fluorescently lab...
