✦ Synopsis

The noise levels measured at a distance of 1000 m from an industrial plant can vary within a range of 20 dB(A) due to the effects of weather and extraneous sources. This paper examines the use of various statistical parameters for assessing the noise due to the plant and describes a method of minimising the effect of extraneous noise due to traffic. The choice of parameter influences the attenuation data to be used in calculating the noise from new plants. Some typical measurements from a large industrial plant are presented. The paper emphasises the need to agree on a single parameter which can be used for calculations, for assessing measured noise levels, and for comparison with legal or noise criteria, and recommends the general adoption of Leq,

In this paper, a precise calculation method of Lx and Leq noise evaluation indices is theoretically proposed using the statistical information on the noise level fluctuation. More specifically, this method is given in a generalized form universally applicable to the arbitrary non-Gaussian distributi

A direct method for the ab initio calculation of the magnetic susceptibility and chemical shielding tensors based on the individual gauge for localized molecular orbitals (IGLO) formalism is introduced. "Direct" in this context means we avoid storing the two-electron repulsion integrals in favor of
