Nocturnal air, road, and rail traffic noise and daytime cognitive performance and annoyance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Various studies indicate that at the same noise level and during the daytime, annoyance increases in the order of rail, road, and aircraft noise. The present study investigates if the same ranking can be found for annoyance to nocturnal exposure and ...

Bioinspired Cold‐Laminated Ultrathin Hydrogels as a Broadly Adaptive Platform for Physiological Monitoring

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A cold‐lamination strategy is introduced to fabricate ultrathin, nanomesh‐reinforced hydrogel bioelectronics with controlled thickness, tunable mechanics, and reversible adhesion. By mechanically interlocking a TPU nanomesh within a temperature‐responsive hydrogel, the platform enables robust epidermal and implantable cardiac interfaces, supporting ...

Multiple-event airplane noise annoyance [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1982
Two experiments were conducted in which subjects in a simulated living room environment judged the annoyance of sessions of airplane noise which contained different noise levels and numbers of flyovers. In the first experiment one, two, or four high noise level flyovers occurred at the beginning, middle, or end of 30-min test sessions each of which ...

Rethinking Power Solutions for Healthcare Wearables: From Point‐of‐Care and Episodic use to Continuous Monitoring and Therapeutic Platforms

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective examines practical power solutions for wearable healthcare systems, highlighting the limits of standard batteries. It categorizes wearables into four domains—point‐of‐care diagnostics, episodic monitoring, continuous long‐term monitoring, and therapeutic platforms—and analyzes their power needs.
