Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Sudden, loud noises are one of the most common triggers for fearful behaviors in dogs, and many companion dogs suffer from noise sensitivity. Existing research focuses on dramatic infrequent sounds (e.g., thunderstorms, fireworks). Anecdotally, and based

Neuroanatomical substrate of noise sensitivity [PDF]
NeuroImage, 2018 Recent functional studies suggest that noise sensitivity, a trait describing attitudes towards noise and predicting noise annoyance, is associated with altered processing in the central auditory system. In the present work, we examined whether noise sensitivity could be related to the structural anatomy of auditory and limbic brain areas. Anatomical MR

Noise sensitivity in continuum percolation [PDF]
Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2014 We prove that the Poisson Boolean model, also known as the Gilbert disc model, is noise sensitive at criticality. This is the first such result for a Continuum Percolation model, and the first for which the critical probability p_c \ne 1/2. Our proof uses a version of the Benjamini-Kalai-Schramm Theorem for biased product measures.

Personality captures dissociations of subjective versus objective hearing in noise
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Acoustic noise is pervasive in human environments. Some individuals are more tolerant to noise than others. We demonstrate the explanatory potential of Big-5 personality traits neuroticism (being emotionally unstable) and extraversion (being enthusiastic,

Noise-equivalent sensitivity of photoacoustics [PDF]
Journal of Biomedical Optics, 2013 The fundamental limitations of photoacoustic microscopy for detecting optically absorbing molecules are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. We experimentally demonstrate noise-equivalent detection sensitivities of 160,000 methylene blue molecules (270 zeptomol or 2.7×10-19 mol) and 86,000 oxygenated hemoglobin molecules (140 zeptomol ...

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 Noisiness in the working environment was largely proved to have effects on the working activity and performance. To limit the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic in the first wave between March and May 2020, Italian workers had massively started ...

Average Sensitivity and Noise Sensitivity of Polynomial Threshold Functions [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Computing, 2014 We give the first non-trivial upper bounds on the average sensitivity and noise sensitivity of degree-$d$ polynomial threshold functions (PTFs). These bounds hold both for PTFs over the Boolean hypercube and for PTFs over $\R^n$ under the standard $n$-dimensional Gaussian distribution.

Stress and odor sensitivity in persons with noise sensitivity
Noise and Health, 2013 Previous research has indicated that sensory sensitivity/intolerance to a specific modality may be part of a more general environmental hypersensitivity, and possibly mediated by stress. This study investigated the relationship between noise sensitivity, perceived stress, and odor sensitivity in a group of men. A quasi-experimental design was used. One-

The development of the noise sensitivity questionnaire
Noise and Health, 2007 The existing questionnaires for determining the noise sensitivity of individuals provide information only about global noise sensitivity, although empirical data suggest that measuring noise sensitivity for different situations in daily life might be more logical. Therefore, the "Noise-Sensitivity-Questionnaire" (NoiSeQ) was developed to measure global

Teachers’ Noise Sensitivity and Efforts to Prevent Noise Pollution in School [PDF]
Eurasian Journal of Educational Research, 2021 The noise phenomenon at school is one of the factors that may negatively affect school climate. Purpose In this study, the noise sensitivity and coping efforts of classroom teachers who intensely experienced noise phenomenon in their school were determined using basic qualitative research.
