Noise effect on comfort in open-space offices: development of an assessment questionnaire

<div><p>It is currently accepted that noise is one of the most important annoyance factors in open-space offices. However, noise levels measured in open spaces of the tertiary sector rarely exceed 65 dB(A). It, therefore, appears necessary to develop a tool that can be used to assess the noise environment of these offices and identify the parameters to be taken into consideration when assessing the noise annoyance. This article presents a questionnaire to be filled by people working in such environment, and a case study in different open plan offices. The majority of the 237 respondents consider that the ambient noise level in their environment is high and that intelligible conversations between their colleagues represent the main source of noise annoyance. This annoyance was significantly correlated with their evaluation of sound intensity, which could not be represented by A-weighted level measurements.</p></div

First results of triplet production measurements near the threshold with a streamer chamber technique,experimental set-up

Cemagref is a French public scientific research institute in agricultural and environmental engineering. Its scientific and technical community is multidisciplinary and consists of ten regional centers in France. Each center is equipped with an information service. Library professionals must offer Cemagref researchers homogeneous and efficient information services throughout the organisation. Tools offered by publishers for accessing scientific and technical information increase each year, and become more effective and more diversified. Resources are scattered . Researchers need to be directed to tools best adapted to their needs. Cemagref's library professionals concern is to identify tools, and to choose the most cost effective solution in collaboration with researchers. Working closely with researchers and having a good knowledge of their needs is a major advantage. This paper deals with the study methods and the results obtained in response to researchers information needs
