Selected Indicators of Al-Najaf Road Network: Public Transportation Noise and Pollution [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 It is urgently necessary to improve the state of transportation and related infrastructure, especially given that the most important indicators of urban development gauge a city's progress. One of the most influential of these indicators is what is known

Acta Acustica, 2021 Sleep disturbances caused by noise exposure are the most relevant outcome measured in disability adjusted life years (DALYs). In analogy to the combined effects of noise from multiple sources on annoyance, these are also of interest for sleep disorders ...

COMPARISON BETWEEN MEASURED TRAFFIC NOISE IN KLANG VALLEY, MALAYSIA AND EXISTING PREDICTION MODELS [PDF]
Engineering Heritage Journal, 2018 Many road traffic noise models are available around the world. However, these models cannot be simply generalized because local conditions affecting such noise (e.g., vehicle type and weather) vary from one locality to another. Two traffic noise models

Experimental studies on the effects of nocturnal noise on cortisol awakening response
Noise and Health, 2010 Cortisol awakening response (CAR), a considerable increase in cortisol concentrations post-awakening, is considered a reliable indicator of the reactivity of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA). As noise has been shown to activate the HPA-axis,

Chinese Journal of Mechanical Engineering, 2022 The acoustic propagation characteristics of axisymmetric waves have been widely used in leak detection of fluid-filled pipes. The related acoustic methods and equipment are gradually coming to the market, but their theoretical research obviously lags ...

Inverse optimal transport [PDF]
, 2019 Discrete optimal transportation problems arise in various contexts in engineering, the sciences and the social sciences. Often the underlying cost criterion is unknown, or only partly known, and the observed optimal solutions are corrupted by noise.
