The Effect of Noise on the Health of Children

open access: yesJournal of Nippon Medical School, 2004
The effects of noise on health, especially that of children, were reviewed. (1) From the point of view of disturbance of daily living, subjective recognition of "noisiness" is an important issue in relation to the study of noise. Concerning the effects of airplane noise on school children, while no effects on the hearing level were detected, a ...

Automated Hand Flexor Tendon–Thickness Measurement in Systemic Sclerosis

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) can affect flexor tendons, contributing to hand function problems and reduced quality of life. Tendon changes are currently assessed with ultrasonography and measured manually, a time‐consuming process prone to interobserver variability.

Unsupervised Machine Learning Identifies Shared Biomechanical and Clinical Variation in Individuals with Knee Osteoarthritis and High BMI: A Secondary Analysis of the IDEA Trial

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective High body mass index (BMI≥27 kg/m2) and aberrant gait biomechanics are primary risk factors for knee osteoarthritis (KOA), yet the specific loading patterns linked to clinical disease features remain unclear. Unsupervised machine learning (ML) was used to identify vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) waveform modes of variation and ...

Effects of continuous and intermittent transportation noise on sleep fragmentation

open access: yes, 2016
Nocturnal transportation noise disturbs sleep by causing awakenings, sleep-stage changes or EEG arousals. However, it is unclear which acoustical characteristics cause these effects.

Generative AI in clinical practice: how should rheumatologists evaluate and monitor emerging tools?

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being used in rheumatology practice, to assist with tasks such as documentation, record summarization, and clinical decision support. Rheumatologists need a practical approach to determining what evidence and oversight each application requires.

A Q‐Learning Algorithm to Solve the Two‐Player Zero‐Sum Game Problem for Nonlinear Systems

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 566-581, March 2025.
A Q‐learning algorithm to solve the two‐player zero‐sum game problem for nonlinear systems. ABSTRACT This paper deals with the two‐player zero‐sum game problem, which is a bounded L2$$ {L}_2 $$‐gain robust control problem. Finding an analytical solution to the complex Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Issacs (HJI) equation is a challenging task.

Observer‐Based Adaptive Event‐Triggered Tracking Control for Fuzzy TS Systems With Premise Mismatch

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
This paper presents an adaptive logistic event‐triggered observer‐based tracking controller for Takagi‐Sugeno fuzzy systems under constrained inputs and network delays. Leveraging a hybrid LMI and Secretary Bird Optimization approach, this strategy significantly minimizes communication overhead and computational burden while ensuring optimal reference ...

Noise Management at Work [PDF]

open access: yes
Every single day millions of European workers are exposed to noise at work. One in five of European’s workers have to raise his voice to be heard for at least half of the time that there are at work and 7% suffer from work-related hearing impairment.
