Method for the simplistic modelling of the acoustic footprint of the vessels in the shallow marine area

MethodsX, 2018
The definitions of the 11th descriptor of the EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) “Underwater noise and other forms of energy” outlines the standards for the continuous noise evaluation and monitoring in the European seas.

Trace Nickel Activated Biphasic Core‐CuOii/Shell‐CuOi Secondary Microspheres Enable Room Temperature Parts‐Per‐Trillion‐Level NO2 Detection

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An idea of designing novel sensors is proposed by creating appropriate Schottky barriers and vacancies between isomorphous Core‐CuOii/ Shell‐CuOi secondary microspheres and enhancing catalytic and spill‐over effects, and electronegativity via spontaneous biphasic separation, self‐assembly, and trace‐Ni‐doping.

Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...

Direct spectral analysis of environmental noise in SQUID and SQUBIT type circuits using a Josephson bifurcation amplifier

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2014
The Josephson Bifurcation Amplifier is a threshold detector that may be viewed as a 1-bit analog-to-digital converter. Such a device is subject to two random processes, firstly the bifurcation itself is a dynamical process that is subject to quantum or thermal fluctuations that broaden the threshold, secondly the device is immersed in an environment ...

Advancing Research on Biomaterials and Biological Materials with Scanning Electron Microscopy under Environmental and Low Vacuum Conditions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...

CNOSSOS-EU road surface types: Evaluation of the influence of different national values on noise emissions

Noise Mapping
Europe is acting to fight noise pollution. The Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) requires EU Member States to determine the exposure to environmental noise through strategic noise mapping, and elaborate action plans to reduce noise pollution ...

Analysis over the new data treatment method developed by the community directive 2002/49/ce about environmental noise management

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2003
Nowadays a European Directive develops useful procedures in order to evaluate, by means of index, the acoustic pollution affecting urban areas. To apply properly those methods, it is necessary to use a long data sequence. Is usual to find in this kind of series some peculiar measures or events that could change indicatively our acoustic pollution index
