This paper attempts to review the state of art of noise control research globally and answer a key question: Has anything been radically new in noise control research lately? There is anecdotal evidence that no radical noise control solution has emer

International audience; Soil organic matter (SOM) is understood today as the non-living product of the decomposition of plant and animal substances. Because it is now recognised that SOM tightly controls many soil properties and major biogeochemical

The assumed relationship between biodiversity or local richness and the persistence of ‘ecosystem services’ (that can sustain productivity on-site as well as off-site, e.g. through regulation of water flow and storage) in agricultural landscapes

The majority of realistic porous materials are composed of pores of which the shape is variable and the size of the pores normally obeys a distinctive statistical distribution. Although the variation of pore shape is less important, the statistical p

International audience; The vibrations of a rectangular porous plate can be described by two coupled equations involving the time and space derivatives of the deflection and of the relative fluid-solid motion. These equations were established previou

Acoustic measurements performed on non-spherical granular mixtures with different states of consolidation suggest that their acoustic performance can be related to that measured in loose granular mixes. It was found that the non-acoustic parameters o

Experiments were carried out in an anechoic chamber using a 1:20 scale model of a high-speed train to determine the insertion loss of various forms of track-side noise barrier. All the barriers investigated had the upper edge level with the bottom of

We argue in this paper that there is a need to bring the current debate on sustainability down to a more pragmatic level, to ‘operationalise’ sustainability. Given the diversity of agricultural systems throughout the world, the best that is possi

Research to identify appropriate means of sustaining tropical soil productivity has intensified during the last 2 decades and promising technologies such as minimum tillage, herbaceous and tree based systems, and improved fallows have been identified
