Road Encroachment Near Protected Areas Alters the Natural Soundscape Through Traffic Noise Pollution in Costa Rica

open access: yesCiencias Ambientales, 2018
Road networks are spatially disposed across landscapes and are differentially used by traffic, generating levels of noise that may negatively affect protected areas.

Traffic noise induces oxidative stress and phytohormone imbalance in two urban plant species

open access: yesBasic and Applied Ecology, 2022
Traffic noise pollution is one of the major environmental concerns in crowded cities worldwide. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of traffic noise on growth, hormonal balance, oxidative damage, and activity of antioxidant ...

Measurement of noise events in road traffic streams: initial results from a simulation study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A key question for road traffic noise management is whether prediction of human response to noise, including sleep quality, could be improved over the use of conventional energy equivalent, or percentile, measures, by accounting for noise events in road ...

Bioinspired Stabilization of Fluorescent Au@SiO2 Tracers for Multimodal Biological Imaging

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates a bioinspired stabilization strategy for fluorescent gold‐silica nanoparticles. Inspired by natural biosilica maturation, high‐temperature calcination transforms the silica shells, preventing dissolution in cell culture media and intracellular environments.

Noise event measures for road traffic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
How should noise events in road traffic noise be measured? This paper reports the performance of a set of algorithms that detect noise events in time histories of road traffic noise in the population of acoustic conditions found near roadways. The latter

Stated choice valuation of traffic related noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
This paper reports a novel application of the stated choice method to the valuation of road traffic noise. The innovative context used is that of choice between apartments with different levels of traffic noise, view, sunlight and cost with which ...

Nanodiamond‐Based Quantum Sensing Reveals Changes in Endo‐Lysosomal Activity of Stimulated Cardiac Fibroblasts in a Cellular Fibrosis Model

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Quantum sensing reveals intricate patterns linking endo‐lysosomal maturation to cardiac fibrosis progression, highlighting complexity in cellular remodeling. This study investigates fibroblast‐to‐myofibroblast transition under cell aging, stiffness, and TGF‐β stimulation, comparing nanodiamond uptake, endo‐lysosomal dynamics, and free radical ...

Fuzzy TOPSIS Approach in Selection of Optimal Noise Barrier for Traffic Noise Abatement

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2015
The paper presents a retrospective study for selection of noise barrier for road traffic noise abatement. The work proposes the application of Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution) approach is selection of ...

Cardiovascular and metabolic effects of long-term traffic noise exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Traffic noise is an increasingly common environmental exposure affecting large parts of the European population. Since the auditory system is directly linked to the sympathetic nervous and the endocrine systems, noise may induce a stress response ...

Comparison of Road Traffic Noise prediction models: CNOSSOS-EU, Nord2000 and TRANEX.

open access: yesEnvironmental Pollution, 2020
Road traffic noise is the most pervasive source of ambient outdoor noise pollution in Europe. Traffic noise prediction models vary in parameterisation and therefore may produce different estimates of noise levels depending on the geographical setting in ...
