Corn plants as temporary acoustic barrier to limit the effects of noise pollution

open access: yes, 2021
Corn is a cereal imported into Europe from the Americas. It is used for human and animal feed, but there are also industrial uses such as the production of ethanol, of fuel for heating homes, or the production of starch. Corn grows in the summer in areas

Citizens’ exposure to predominant noise sources in agglomerations

open access: yesNoise Mapping
Environmental noise directive requires Member States to produce and periodically update strategic noise maps for agglomerates in order to evaluate citizens’ noise exposure before the action plan.

Influence of meteorological conditions on noise dispersion in the Port of Thessaloniki

open access: yesNoise Mapping, 2020
Although noise dispersion models are widely used for the assessment of noise levels across different domains, the influence of meteorological conditions on environmental noise is usually neglected even though modelling requirements often list ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

The interaction of building energy use, ventilation performance and urban noise under future climate scenarios [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This thesis studies the interaction of building energy use, ventilation performance and urban noise under future climate scenarios, comparing in particular the noise and climatic influences on non-domestic natural ventilation cooling.

CNOSSOS-EU road surface types: Evaluation of the influence of different national values on noise emissions

open access: yesNoise Mapping
Europe is acting to fight noise pollution. The Environmental Noise Directive (2002/49/EC) requires EU Member States to determine the exposure to environmental noise through strategic noise mapping, and elaborate action plans to reduce noise pollution ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Conscious walk assessment for the joint evaluation of the soundscape, air quality, biodiversity, and comfort in Barcelona

open access: yesNoise Mapping
High environmental noise as well as poor biodiversity and air pollution pose significant challenges for the European population, particularly those residing in urban areas, impacting clearly on citizens’ health.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

The Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Act 2024

open access: yesNoise Mapping
The Welsh Government’s policy on noise and soundscape is underpinned by two key pieces of legislation: the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and the Environment (Air Quality and Soundscapes) (Wales) Act 2024.
