Abstract

Les contributions sont regroupées dans quatre thèmes principaux : les sons comme sujets d'inspiration créatrice, le milieu urbain comme véhicule d'identité, les silences qui n'en sont pas vraiment et les manières dont les politiques patrimoniales se sont emparées du son comme d'un objet de conservation ou de valorisation culturelle à part entière. ©Electre 2015

Abstract

Acts of Voicing focuses on the aesthetic, performative, and political significance of the voice, viewed from the perspective of visual art, dance, performance, and theory. The book, which also documents the exhibition of the same title that showed at the Württembergischer Kunstverein Stuttgart and the Total Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul in 2012, explores the diegetic and performative characteristics of the voice. This relates equally to voices that resist and to voices that are disciplined and seek to discipline, to those that are heard and to those that go unheard. The book also examines the struggle to find one's voice and the act of getting voices to speak or be silent. Acts of voicing" widmet sich der ästhetischen, performativen und politischen Bedeutung der Stimme aus der Perspektive von bildender Kunst, Tanz, Performance und Theorie. Das Buch, das zugleich die gleichnamigen Ausstellungen im Württembergischen Kunstverein Stuttgart und Total Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul (2012) dokumentiert, rückt den Handlungs- und Aufführungscharakter der Stimme in den Blick. Dabei geht es gleichermaßen um die widerständige wie um die disziplinierte und disziplinierende Stimme, um solche Stimmen, die gehört, und andere, die nicht gehört werden. Der Kampf darum, seiner Stimme Gehör zu verschaffen, wird ebenso beleuchtet wie der Akt, Stimmen zum Schweigen oder zum Sprechen zu bringen.

Abstract

La 4ème de couverture indique : "Les impératifs d'efficacité énergétique et de confort acoustique dans les bâtiments entraînent de nouvelles réponses constructives et une évolution considérable des matériaux et procédés d'isolation. Tenant compte des derniers DTU parus, ce guide regroupe dans un même volume l'essentiel des dispositions techniques de mise en oeuvre des systèmes d'isolation thermique et phonique des bâtiments. Ainsi cet ouvrage : apporte l'éclairage nécessaire à la compréhension des réglementations thermique et acoustique ; définit les exigences à atteindre concernant l'isolement aux bruits aériens intérieurs et extérieurs, les niveaux de bruits de chocs et d'équipements, ainsi que le traitement acoustique des parties communes ; détaille les techniques d'isolation des toitures étanchées et des couvertures ; décrit l'isolation thermique des murs par l'intérieur et par l'extérieur. Ce manuel pratique est destiné aux maîtres d'ouvrage et promoteurs qui y trouveront une synthèse des exigences réglementaires, et aux maîtres d'oeuvre, architectes et entrepreneurs qui s'en serviront comme d'un aide-mémoire rassemblant les données utiles pour leurs opérations."

Abstract

This three-volume book gives a thorough and comprehensive presentation of vibration and acoustic theories. Different from traditional textbooks which typically deal with some aspects of either acoustic or vibration problems, it is unique of this book to combine those two correlated subjects together. Moreover, it provides fundamental analysis and mathematical descriptions for several crucial phenomena of Vibro-Acoustics which are quite useful in noise reduction, including how structures are excited, energy flows from an excitation point to a sound radiating surface, and finally how a structure radiates noise to a surrounding fluid. Many measurement results included in the text make the reading interesting and informative. Problems/questions are listed at the end of each chapter and the solutions are provided. This will help the readers to understand the topics of Vibro-Acoustics more deeply. The book should be of interest to anyone interested in sound and vibration, vehicle acoustics, ship acoustics and interior aircraft noise. This is the first volume, and covers the following topics: Mechanical systems with one degree of freedom, Frequency domain, Waves in solids, Interaction between longitudinal and transverse waves, General wave equation, Wave attenuation due to losses and transmission across junctions, Longitudinal vibrations of finite beams, Flexural vibrations of finite beams, Flexural vibrations of finite plates. .

Abstract

"Nineteenth-century Paris was grand, busy, and overwhelmingly noisy, so noisy that the racket became a matter for public concern in Paris before any other city. There were not only more people in the growing metropolis, but more sources of sound, much of it sung, barked, or bellowed to sell merchandise. The competition for attention raised the volume and increased the variety of sounds as street peddlers strove to be heard amid the din. Aimee Boutin draws on the first-hand accounts of Parisian noise to recreate, as much as possible, what the city sounded like, especially in its commercial core, and how people responded to the different sounds. Boutin focuses on the peddlers whose status altered in the 19th century. Dating back to the Middle Ages, the Cris de Paris were a musical, textual, and graphic genre that classified tradesmen as fixed, often idealized types, identified by the cries of their trade. In the 19th century, Parisian peddlers were perceived by bourgeois listeners as troublemakers (noisiers), lowlife who disturbed the peace, and by poets like Baudelaire as challenges to the bourgeois he despised. Itinerant, often from provinces that spoke a different accent, they were just a step above begging, or peddled as a pretense for begging, and they demanded to be heard. Peddlers became identified with sedition and rebellion. Boutin examines how peddlers were affected by Baron Haussmann's rebuilding of Paris, and by legislation and urban policy regarding vagrancy and noise abatement. As the peddlers' cries diminished, they were taken into poetry, but they never really went away"--

Abstract

This book explores the life and scientific legacy of Manfred Schroeder through personal reflections, scientific essays, and Schroeder’s own memoirs. Reflecting the wide range of Schroeder’s activities, the first part of the book contains thirteen articles written by his colleagues and former students. Topics discussed include his early, pioneering contributions to the understanding of statistical room acoustics and to the measurement of reverberation time; his introduction of digital signal processing methods into acoustics; his use of ray tracing methods to study sound decay in rooms; and his achievements in echo and feedback suppression and in noise reduction. Other chapters cover his seminal research in speech processing including the use of predictive coding to reduce audio bandwidth which led to various code-excited linear prediction schemes, today used extensively for speech coding. Several chapters discuss Schroeder’s work in low-peak factor signals, number theory, and maximum-length sequences with key applications in hearing research, diffraction gratings, artificial reverberators, and de-correlation techniques for enhancing subjective envelopment in surround sound. In style, the articles range from truly scientific to conversationally personal. In all contributions, the relationship between the current research presented and Manfred Schroeder’s own fields of interest is, in general, evident. The second part of the book consists of Schroeder’s own memoirs, written over the final decade of his life. These recollections shed light on many aspects not only of Schroeder’s life but also on that of many of his colleagues, friends, and contemporaries. They portray political, social, and scientific events over a period that extends from pre-war to the present. These memoirs, written in an inimitable and witty style, are full of information, entertaining, and fun to read, providing key insight into the life and work of one of the greatest acousticians of the 20th century. Reflects on the life, work, and legacy of one of the greatest acousticians of the 20th century Features articles by leading researchers on the implications of Schroeder’s research today Covers a wide range of topics, from room acoustics, noise reduction, physical acoustics, and underwater acoustics to transducers, speech signal processing, and number-theory applications.
