Experimental chronic noise is related to elevated fecal corticosteroid metabolites in lekking male greater Sage-Grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
There is increasing evidence that individuals in many species avoid areas exposed to chronic anthropogenic noise, but the impact of noise on those who remain in these habitats is unclear.

Room Acoustical Parameters as Predictors of Acoustic Comfort in Outdoor Spaces of Housing Complexes

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Room acoustical parameters have frequently been used to evaluate or predict the acoustical performance in rooms. For housing complexes in urban areas with high population density, it is important to improve acoustic performance not solely indoors, but ...

Shot-noise-limited control-loop noise in an interferometer with multiple degrees of freedom [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Precise measurements, such as those made with interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, require the measurement device to be properly controlled so that the sensitivity can be as high as possible.

A linear theory for control of non-linear stochastic systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We address the role of noise and the issue of efficient computation in stochastic optimal control problems. We consider a class of non-linear control problems that can be formulated as a path integral and where the noise plays the role of temperature ...

Driving Behavior and Decision Mechanisms in Emergency Conditions

open access: yesWorld Electric Vehicle Journal, 2022
In this article we used simulator experiments to explore the intelligent mechanisms of human decision-making. Three types of typical emergency scenarios were used in the experiment, in which Scenario 1 was used to analyze the driver’s choice to protect ...

Tacticity in chiral phononic crystals

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Here, the authors study the influence of tacticity on the dynamic behaviour of chiral structured periodic media comprising rotational inertia elements. This opens the way towards new mechanisms for wave control by exploiting spin-spin coupling mechanism.

Foundations for Cooperating with Control Noise in the Manipulation of Quantum Dynamics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper develops the theoretical foundations for the ability of a control field to cooperate with noise in the manipulation of quantum dynamics. The noise enters as run-to-run variations in the control amplitudes, phases and frequencies with the ...

Achieving precise mechanical control in intrinsically noisy systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
How can precise control be realized in intrinsically noisy systems? Here, we develop a general theoretical framework that provides a way of achieving precise control in signal-dependent noisy environments.

Potential role of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as mediators of cardiovascular effects from combustion particles

open access: yesEnvironmental Health, 2019
Air pollution is the most important environmental risk factor for disease and premature death, and exposure to combustion particles from vehicles is a major contributor.

Respirable stone particles differ in their ability to induce cytotoxicity and pro-inflammatory responses in cell models of the human airways

open access: yesParticle and Fibre Toxicology, 2021
Background Respirable stone- and mineral particles may be a major constituent in occupational and ambient air pollution and represent a possible health hazard.
