ABSTRACT Background Poor physical conditions of school facilities are linked to poor health, lower test scores, and higher rates of chronic absenteeism. Methods We conducted a cross‐sectional analysis using data on physical conditions of school facilities, absenteeism, and test scores for 1266 K‐12 school facilities representing 1388 schools (which may

HVAC-EAR: Eavesdropping Human Speech Using HVAC Systems
Pressure sensors are widely integrated into modern Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. As they are sensitive to acoustic pressure, they can be a source of eavesdropping. This paper introduces HVAC-EAR, which reconstructs intelligible speech from low-resolution, noisy pressure data with two key contributions: (i) We achieve ...
