>Dear List,
>It is already two years ago that I hold my PhD about binaural loudness
summation
>and binaural unpleasantness in relation with automobile sounds ("Loudness
and
>Unpleasantness Perception in Dichotic Conditions" / text in english).
>Due to the usual microfiche french thesis publication procedure, I must
admit

>That's why I decided to put this document online, so that you can now find
an

>http://www.physik.uni-oldenburg.de/Docs/aku/nicolas/dr141297.html
>
>Moreover, as I provide on about 40 reprints of this thesis, I can mail it
to
>those of you who are interested with binaural loudness, and related themes
(see
>the abstract). However, due to the quite sparse number of exemplars, I
would
>like to keep this "hardware version" option only to people involved in
such
>themes (others, please consider the "electronic" version): simply ask me
for a

>Submission of Abstracts is invited for several kinds of presentations: (1)
>Brief communications (20 minutes), presenting findings of discrete
>studies. (2) Extended presentations (50 minutes), summarizing research
>(own and other) in a given area, and pointing to new directions. (3)
>Symposia, featuring three or more participants in a given area of
>research. (4) Poster sessions.
>
>While there are no pre-designed sessions, the Program Committee will
>endeavor to group presentations into clusters to create de facto sessions.
