Association between exposure to multiple air pollutants, transportation noise and cause-specific mortality in adults in Switzerland

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2023
Background Long-term exposure to air pollution and noise is detrimental to health; but studies that evaluated both remain limited. This study explores associations with natural and cause-specific mortality for a range of air pollutants and transportation

The independent association of source-specific transportation noise exposure, noise annoyance and noise sensitivity with health-related quality of life

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2020
Noise exposure is affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). There are many modelling approaches linking specific noise sources with single health-related outcomes.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MEASURED TRAFFIC NOISE IN KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA AND EXISTING PREDICTION MODELS [PDF]

open access: yesEngineering Heritage Journal, 2018
Many road traffic noise models are available around the world. However, these models cannot be simply generalized because local conditions affecting such noise (e.g., vehicle type and weather) vary from one locality to another. Two traffic noise models

Influence of Shear Effects on the Characteristics of Axisymmetric Wave Propagation in a Buried Fluid-Filled Pipe

open access: yesChinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2022
The acoustic propagation characteristics of axisymmetric waves have been widely used in leak detection of fluid-filled pipes. The related acoustic methods and equipment are gradually coming to the market, but their theoretical research obviously lags ...

Noise-induced quantum transport [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2005
We analyze the problem of directed quantum transport induced by external exponentially correlated telegraphic noise. In addition to quantum nature of the heat bath, nonlinearity of the periodic system potential brings in quantum contribution. We observe that quantization, in general, enhances classical current at low temperature, while the differences ...

Blue noise through optimal transport [PDF]

open access: yesACM Transactions on Graphics, 2012
We present a fast, scalable algorithm to generate high-quality blue noise point distributions of arbitrary density functions. At its core is a novel formulation of the recently-introduced concept of capacity-constrained Voronoi tessellation as an optimal transport problem.

Transportation noise exposure, noise annoyance and respiratory health in adults: A repeated-measures study

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2018
Transportation noise leads to sleep disturbance and to psychological and physiological sustained stress reactions, which could impact respiratory health.

Association between transportation noise and blood pressure in adults living in multi-storey residential buildings

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2019
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that transportation noise is associated with blood pressure and hypertension, but little is known about its relationship in the adults living in multi-storey residential buildings, where neighbour noise is ...

Spatial assessment of the attributable burden of disease due to transportation noise in England

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2023
Background: Noise pollution from transportation is one of the leading contributors to the environmental disease burden in Europe. We provide a novel assessment of spatial variations of these health impacts within a country, using England as an example ...
