Urban noise and arterial hypertension

Vojnosanitetski pregled, 2005
<zakljucak> Rezultati dosadasnjih epidemioloskih studija o vezi saobracajne buke i hipertenzije kontradiktorni su. Znacajan broj istrazivanja ima metodoloske propuste u nedovoljno kontrolisanim pridruzenim faktorima. U epidemioloskim studijama koje su utvrdile statisticki znacajnu pozitivnu povezanost izlaganja saobracajnoj buci i obolevanja od ...

Reduction of the size of datasets by using evolutionary feature selection: the case of noise in a modern city [PDF]

, 2018
Smart city initiatives have emerged to mitigate the negative effects of a very fast growth of urban areas. Most of the population in our cities are exposed to high levels of noise that generate discomfort and different health problems.

Improving the Robustness of Visual Teach‐and‐Repeat Navigation Using Drift Error Correction and Event‐Based Vision for Low‐Light Environments

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Visual teach‐and‐repeat (VTR) navigation allows robots to learn and follow routes without building a full metric map. We show that navigation accuracy for VTR can be improved by integrating a topological map with error‐drift correction based on stereo vision.
