Abstract
The model of libraries as agora or third place is both criticised and reaffirmed. This work is inspired by an article published in Le Monde Diplomatique where this model is censored. It is exposed that the origin of the criticism has a lot to do with the inadequate displacement of [...]

Application of noise abatement procedures at regional airports
Abstract
The increasing traffic rate experienced by regional airports in Europe in recent years has had various impacts on the communities living near to the airport areas. To mitigate the negative effects of aviation noise, airports, particularly those close to dwellings and communities, [...]- 0

Measurements of structure-borne wave intensity on lightly damped pipes
Abstract
Measurement of the structure-borne sound energy flow through pipes has been studied for the purpose of transmission path ranking. This paper describes the measuring methods for frequencies below the cut-off frequency of the n = 2 shell mode. The methods show a strong analogy with [...]- 2

Additional Efficient Warning Sounds for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles
Abstract
International audience; Electric or hybrid vehicles are very silent, which represents a major advantage for the reduction of noise annoyance in urban areas. But this makes them dangerous for pedestrians, especially vulnerable ones as visually-impaired people. Current solutions consist [...]- 1

Airport noise predicts song timing of European birds
Abstract
Anthropogenic noise is of increasing concern to biologists and medical scientists. Its detrimental effects on human health have been well studied, with the high noise levels from air traffic being of particular concern. However, less is known about the effects of airport noise pollution [...]- 1

Ship Noise Level Analysis Based on the International Regulations
Abstract
"jats:p"The target of analyse was to determine the exposure levels to the staff on the vessel and ensure adequate measures are in place to minimize the exposure when necessary. Noise levels through the vessel will be compared to the noise code detailed in section 2 of this report. [...]- 0

Scalability analysis and performance modelling of layer-parallel training of deep residual networks using a non-linear multigrid-in-time algorithm
Abstract
Replacing the traditional forward and backward passes in a residual network with a Multigrid-Reduction-in-Time (MGRIT) algorithm paves the way for exploiting parallelism across the layer dimension. In this paper, we evaluate the layer-parallel MGRIT algorithm with respect to convergence, [...]

Multi-fidelity active learning for shape optimization problems affected by noise
Abstract
The efficiency of simulation-driven design optimization based on surrogate models, depends strongly on the suitability of the surrogate model for the simulation data on which it is based. We investigate adaptive surrogate modelling methods that maximize the efficiency and the robustness [...]

Learning-Based Quality Control for Cardiac MR Images
Abstract
The effectiveness of a cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) scan depends on the ability of the operator to correctly tune the acquisition parameters to the subject being scanned and on the potential occurrence of imaging artefacts such as cardiac and respiratory motion. In the [...]- 0
