"... In PAGE 1: ... Stud systems tested included a single row of 90 mm wood studs (with and without 13 mm resilient metal channels), 65, 90 and 150 mm non-load-bearing steel studs, staggered 90 mm wood studs, a double row of 90 mm wood studs, double rows of 40 and 65 mm steel studs and load-bearing steel studs with 13 mm resilient metal channels. Average properties of the seven sound absorbing materials used are listed in Table1 . In some walls two thicknesses of batts were used.... In PAGE 1: ... What is surprising in the equations above, is the negative dependence on the flow resistance of the sound- absorbing material. For a 90 mm material thickness, using the minimum and maximum values of flow resistance in Table1 , the expected change in STC is about 3; for R apos;w, it is about 1. The reason for this is discussed below.... In PAGE 2: ...aterials. The figures combine several sets of differences. By referring to a standard absorption condition for each construction type, differences in TL should be due only to the sound absorbing material. Reference to Table1 shows that different locations on the flow resistance axis correspond to different materials, especially at the right hand side of the plots. Clumps of points are identified in Figure 2 for mineral fibre and cellulose fibre.... ..."

"... In PAGE 3: ... Thus, we model w for the III-V semiconductor alloys by preserving the standard deviation and the amplitude of the Gaussian function obtained for GaAs with the di- rect method and by adjusting then the position with the material composition dependence of w;;sat and T n;;peak . For III-V semiconductor alloys, A x B 1;x C, a quadratic interpolation between the values from Table1 for the bi- nary compounds, AC and BC, is used to calculate w;;0 and C 0 . Thus wehave: ABC w;;0 = AC w;;0 x + BC w;;0 (1 ; x)+ w;;o (1 ; x) x (4) C ABC 0 = C AC 0 x + C BC 0 (1 ; x)+C o (1 ; x) x (5) w;;o and C o are referred to as nonlinear or bowing parameters.... ..."

Due to a lack of information in the 78% Au/22% Sn solder, the material properties of 80% Au/20% Sn solder (Reference 8) were used in the present study.... ..."

Both corpora were split into a development and an evaluation set, as shown in Table1 . 3 Features Thirteen Standard MFCC parameters were extracted from 24 Mel-scaled logarithmic filters from 300 to 3400 Hz.... ..."

"... In PAGE 33: ...3 NBAC estimates that as of 1998, more than 282 mil- lion specimens of human biological materials were stored in the United States, accumulating at a rate of more than 20 million cases per year (the term specimen refers to an individual quantity of material; several specimens can be obtained from one case, or individual, and several speci- mens can be obtained from one tissue biopsy or blood drawing).4 (See Table2 -1.) Each specimen of human tissue may be stored in multiple forms, such as slides, paraffin blocks, formalin-fixed, frozen, tissue culture, or extracted DNA.... In PAGE 36: ...
