Blind Source Separation via Time‐Frequency Localization on Sound Spectrogram for Environmental Sound Source Attribution

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As urban sound environments grow more complex, environmental monitoring increasingly demands not just sound‐level measurement but also source attribution. Current source recognition techniques can identify which sources are present in a mixture, but cannot measure each source's energy contribution, making accountability impossible.

The Effects of Noise on the Juvenile Life Stage of Crustaceans: Behavioral, Cellular, and Molecular Responses in Procambarus clarkii

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Juvenile Procambarus clarkii exposed to noise exhibited behavioral changes, shifts in enzymatic activity, and altered expression of stress and immune genes. The findings highlight the sensitivity of invertebrate juveniles to anthropogenic acoustic pollution.
