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 ...

Fear influences phantom sound percepts in an anechoic room
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Aims and hypothesesIn an environment of absolute silence, researchers have found many of their participants to perceive phantom sounds (tinnitus). With this between-subject experiment, we aimed to elaborate on these research findings, and specifically ...

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.

Analysis and Optimization of Noise Response for Low-Noise CMOS Image Sensors [PDF]
, 2012 CMOS image sensors are nowadays widely used in imaging applications and particularly in low light flux applications. This is really possible thanks to a reduction of noise obtained, among others, by the use of pinned photodiode associated with a ...

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

Road traffic noise and health-related quality of life: A cross-sectional study
Noise and Health, 2013 Evidence is emerging linking environmental noise to health problems. Noise can affect health directly and indirectly: For example, noise sensitivity moderates the effects of noise annoyance, which in turn mediates the effects of noise exposure.

RTS noise impact in CMOS image sensors readout circuit [PDF]
, 2009 CMOS image sensors are nowadays widely used in imaging applications even for high end applications. This is really possible thanks to a reduction of noise obtained, among others, by Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) readout.
