Teachers’ Noise Sensitivity and Efforts to Prevent Noise Pollution in School [PDF]

open access: yesEurasian 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.

Cooperativity, Sensitivity, and Noise in Biochemical Signaling [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical 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]

open access: yesProceedings 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 ...

Validating a Short Bulgarian Version of a Psychometric Instrument for Multidimensional Noise Sensitivity Assessment

open access: yesFolia Medica, 2014
BACKGROUND: Noise sensitivity (NS) is a key construct in the fields of hygiene, planning and occupational medicine. It refers to a personality trait representing the reactivity to noise and is associated with various psycho-physiological health outcomes.

Gaussian Noise Sensitivity and BosonSampling

open access: yesCoRR, 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 ...

Hyperacusis in Autism Spectrum Disorders

open access: yesAudiology Research, 2021
Hyperacusis is highly prevalent in the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) population. This auditory hypersensitivity can trigger pragmatically atypical reactions that may impact social and academic domains.
