The Impact of Road Traffic Noise on Housing Prices – Case Study in Poland

Real Estate Management and Valuation, 2020
Noise as a form of environmental pollution negatively affects the attractiveness of residential areas. Its adverse effect is particularly noticeable in the vicinity of roads with high traffic volume.

Soundscape design guidelines through noise mapping methodologies: An application to medium urban agglomerations

Noise Mapping, 2017
In the framework of the European Directive 2002/49/EC, from 2012 to 2016, several cities in Greece have completed noise strategic maps with noise action plans that usually define the main strategies to reduce the noise residents are exposed to and ...

Spatial Hedonic Pricing Models for Testing the Adequacy of Acoustic Areas in Madrid, Spain [PDF]

Investigaciones Regionales - Journal of Regional Research, 2011
Road traffic noise is one of the main concerns of large cities. Most of them have classified their territory in acoustic areas and have constructed strategic noise maps.

Low intensity white noise improves performance in auditory working memory task: An fMRI study

Heliyon, 2019
Research suggests that white noise may facilitate auditory working memory performance via stochastic resonance. Stochastic resonance is quantified by plotting cognitive performance as a function of noise intensity.

R-MFNet: Analysis of Urban Carbon Stock Change against the Background of Land-Use Change Based on a Residual Multi-Module Fusion Network

Remote Sensing, 2023
Regional land-use change is the leading cause of ecosystem carbon stock change; it is essential to investigate the response of LUCC to carbon stock to achieve the strategic goal of “double carbon” in a region.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Road noise in Europe: The case for transparent and standardised data presentation

Acta Acustica
It has been nearly three decades since the European Commission adopted the Green Paper on Future Noise Policy in 1996, marking a pivotal step towards developing an EU – wide noise policy, ultimately leading in 2002 to the formal adoption of Directive ...

Mapping the Sound Environment of Andorra and Escaldes-Engordany by Means of a 3D City Model Platform

Urban Science, 2019
In the new paradigm of the smart cities world, public opinion is one of the most important issues in the new conception of urban space and its corresponding regulations.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
