Climate Impact Mitigation Potential of European Air Traffic in a Weather Situation with Strong Contrail Formation

Aerospace, 2021
Air traffic contributes to anthropogenic global warming by about 5% due to CO2 emissions and non-CO2 effects, which are primarily caused by the emission of NOx and water vapor as well as the formation of contrails.

The Cardiovascular Effects of Noise [PDF]

Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, 2019
Traffic noise can induce chronic stress reactions and thereby elevate the risk of cardiovascular disease. The responsible pathophysiological mechanisms are as yet unclear.This review is based on publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed for epidemiological and experimental studies (2007-2018) on the relation between noise and the risk of ...

Estimating the Lasso's Effective Noise

, 2020
Much of the theory for the lasso in the linear model $Y = X β^* + \varepsilon$ hinges on the quantity $2 \| X^\top \varepsilon \|_{\infty} / n$, which we call the lasso's effective noise. Among other things, the effective noise plays an important role in finite-sample bounds for the lasso, the calibration of the lasso's tuning parameter, and inference ...

Parent Quality of Life at Two Years Following Their Child's Completion of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Treatment

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Parents of children treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often experience significant caregiver burden and disruption to their well‐being. While parent quality of life (QoL) during treatment is well characterized, little is known about outcomes during early survivorship.

A multi-method assessment of the regional sensitivities between flight altitude and short-term O3 climate warming from aircraft NO x emissions

Environmental Research Letters
Flight altitude is relevant to the climate effects resulting from aircraft emissions. Other research has shown that flying higher within the troposphere leads to larger warming from O _3 production. Aircraft NO _x emissions are of particular interest, as

Attributing ozone and its precursors to land transport emissions in Europe and Germany [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020
Land transport is an important emission source of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds. The emissions of nitrogen oxides affect air quality directly.

Revealing the structure of land plant photosystem II: the journey from negative‐stain EM to cryo‐EM

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Advances in cryo‐EM have revealed the detailed structure of Photosystem II, a key protein complex driving photosynthesis. This review traces the journey from early low‐resolution images to high‐resolution models, highlighting how these discoveries deepen our understanding of light harvesting and energy conversion in plants.

Noise perception and hearing protector use in metallurgical industries

International Journal of Occupational and Environment Safety, 2018
Although hearing protectors are defined as a temporary solution, they are often widely employed as the only measure against noise exposure. However, it is also known that unless workers wear the hearing protector continuously, their effectiveness will be
