The Negative Affect Hypothesis of Noise Sensitivity [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2015 Some studies indicate that noise sensitivity is explained by negative affect, a dispositional tendency to negatively evaluate situations and the self. Individuals high in such traits may report a greater sensitivity to other sensory stimuli, such as smell, bright light and pain. However, research investigating the relationship between noise sensitivity

Cooperativity, Sensitivity, and Noise in Biochemical Signaling [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2008 Cooperative interactions among the binding of multiple signaling molecules is a common mechanism for enhancing the sensitivity of biological signaling systems. It is widely assumed that this increase in sensitivity of the mean response implies the ability to detect smaller signals.

Noise sensitivity signatures for model selection [PDF]
Proceedings of the 12th IAPR International Conference on Pattern Recognition (Cat. No.94CH3440-5), 2002 Presents a method for calculating the "noise sensitivity signature" of a learning algorithm which is based on scrambling the output classes of various fractions of the training data. This signature can be used to indicate a good (or bad) match between the complexity of the classifier and the complexity of the data and hence to improve the predictive ...

Noise Exposure and Job Stress – a Structural Equation Model in Textile Industries
Archives of Acoustics, 2020 Noise exposure is one of the most important physical agents in the workplace which can induce job stress in several ways. The aim of this study was to model the interactions between independent and mediating variables and job stress using structural ...

Gaussian Noise Sensitivity and BosonSampling
CoRR, 2014 We study the sensitivity to noise of |permanent(X)|^2 for random real and complex n x n Gaussian matrices X, and show that asymptotically the correlation between the noisy and noiseless outcomes tends to zero when the noise level is ω(1)/n. This suggests that, under certain reasonable noise models, the probability distributions produced by noisy ...

A profile of noise sensitivity on the health-related quality of life among young motorcyclists
Noise and Health, 2018 Introduction: Motorcycle riders with noise sensitivity (NS) may suffer from degraded health-related quality of life (HRQOL) because they are exposed to acute noise levels on a daily basis.
