Pro-inflammatory effects of crystalline- and nano-sized non-crystalline silica particles in a 3D alveolar model

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2020
Background Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are among the most widely manufactured and used nanoparticles. Concerns about potential health effects of SiNPs have therefore risen. Using a 3D tri-culture model of the alveolar lung barrier we examined effects of

Flying green from a carbon neutral airport : the case of Brussels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The aviation sector is one of the fastest growing emitters of greenhouse gases worldwide. In addition, airports have important local environmental impacts, mainly in the form of noise pollution and deterioration in air quality. Although noise nuisance in

A Strain Rate-Dependent Damage Evolution Model for Concrete Based on Experimental Results

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2021
There are various definitions of damage variables from the existing damage models. The calculated damage value by the current methods still could not well correspond to the actual damage value.

Effects of Different Types of Noise on Foreign Accent Adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Understanding foreign-accented speech can be difficult. Comprehension can be further compromised by environmental noise. Previous research has shown that listeners are able to adapt rapidly to a foreign accent.

Control of Environmental Noise [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Air Pollution Control Association, 1973
The article reviews the current state of knowledge of noise and how people respond to noise. Sources of community noise are discussed and existing federal legislation pertaining to noise is mentioned. Methods of reducing the noise impact on communities from aircraft, surface transportation, and industrial sites are presented. Interior noise in industry,
