The INTER-NOISE 95 Proceedings are Available/'NWJ"'!f' O!INTER-NOISE 95The 19951ntem8tion81 congressonNol.. control Eng l_ ringINTER-NOISE 95, the 1995 <strong>International</strong> Congress on <strong>Noise</strong> Control Engineering,washeldinNewport Beach, California on 1995 July 10-12. Morethan 700engineersattended the three-day Congress which had as its theme Applications of <strong>Noise</strong>Control Engineering. Theemphasis was on applications, practicaltechniques for thecontrol of noise in many different areas, including surface and air transportation,noise control in the community, noise control in the design stage of machinery, andstandards and regulations for noise control.Three Distinguished Lecturers addressed the theme of the Congress. Dr. MasaruKoyasu of the Acoustical Engineering Laboratory in Japan gave a comprehensiveaccount of applications of noise control engineering in Japan. He described -thehistory of noise legislation inJapanand then covered a number of key areas in whichnoise control engineering has been applied. These include transportation noise(including road, rail and air transportation), construction equipment noise, noiseinside buildings, and machinery noise control. Professor Jiri Tichy of ThePennsylvania State University presented the second. His lecture, "Applications foractive control of sound and vibration," was a combination of past applications foractive control and a summary of the main results presented at the ACTIVE 951....- ....... Symposium which immediately preceded INTER-NOISE 95.The third plenary lecture was presented by Robert D. Bruce of Collaboration inScience and Technology, Inc. in Houston, Texas, USA. He discussed the progress that has been made in control of noise inthe workplace since the 1930s. He reviewed the relationship between noise and hearing loss, the use of hearing protection,the role of measurements and theirimportance in the progress which has been made, and gave examples of noise control inthe workplace.In addition to the three distinguished lectures, fifty technical sessions were heldduring thecongress. Three hundredand twenty four papers were presented at the meeting and appear in the Congress Proceedings.The two-volume set of INTER-NOISE 95 Congress Proceedings contains more than 1500 pages, is now availableto those who were unable to attend the Congress. TheProceedings of INTER-NOISE 95 will be of interest to engineers inindustry, consultants, researchers, and all individuals concerned with community noise control, noise control in industry, airandsurface transportation noisecontrol, andanalytical methods for the solution of noise control problems. Withthenewlargesize format (210 mm x 276 mm), the papers contain more technical information per page than has beenpossible at previousINTER-NOISE Congresses.ORDER FORMEnclosed is my check for US$ .
