Despite almost a century of studies dealing with traffic noise, researchers and practitioners still face old and new issues when designing a low-noise pavement. Given that, this manuscript aims at focusing on a number of unsolved questions, namely theoretical or technological. 1) Is it viable to balance diverse road-related needs (i.e., noise, expected life, texture levels, and friction)? 2) How much does the pavement material affect its acoustic performance (the remaining factors being constant)? 3) How much reliable is the relationship between road texture and mixture aggregate gradation? Based on the analysis of these issues, it emerges that: 1) optimal pavement design involves complex mix optimization and there are theoretical and practical bases to set up a balanced approach to address the complexity of pavement design; 2) high percentages of crumb rubber could optimise road acoustic response but this latter has a relationship with the tyre/road noise (expressed, for example, in terms of close proximity index) that calls for further investigation; 3) aggregate gradation appears to be a reliable basis to predict surface texture and therefore, under given boundary conditions, tyre/road noise; and 4) further studies and investigations are needed in terms of local calibration of deterioration curves and setting up of a sound method to assess the frequency response of asphalt concretes and to govern on-site noise indicators based on mixture properties.

Cellulose-based foams present a high potential for noise insulation applications. These materials are bio-degradable, eco-friendly by both embedded components and manufacturing process, have low density and high porosity, and are able to provide good noise insulation characteristics compared with available petroleum-based foams currently used on a large scale. This paper presents the results of some investigations performed by the authors in order to improve the functional characteristics in terms of free surface wettability and structural integrity. Native xylan and xylan-based derivatives (in terms of acetylated and hydrophobized xylan) were taken into account for surface treatment of cellulose foams, suggesting that hemicelluloses represent by-products of pulp and paper industry, and xylan polysaccharides are the most abundant hemicelluloses type. The investigations were mainly conducted in order to evaluate the level to which surface treatments have affected the noise insulation properties of basic cellulose foams. The results indicate that surface treatments with xylan derivatives have slowly affected the soundproofing characteristics of foams, but these clearly have to be taken into account because of their high decrease in wettability level and improving structural integrity.

- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the significance of background noise in machine learning models assessing the GRBAS scale for voice disorders., Methods: A dataset of 1406 voice samples was collected from retrospective data, and a 5-layer 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) model was constructed using TensorFlow. The dataset was divided into training, validation, and test data. Gaussian noise was added to test samples at various intensities to assess the model's noise resilience. The model's performance was evaluated using accuracy, F1 score, and quadratic weighted Cohen's kappa score., Results: The model's performance on the GRBAS scale generally declined with increasing noise intensities. For the G scale, accuracy dropped from 70.9% (original) to 8.5% (at the highest noise), F1 score from 69.2% to 1.3%, and Cohen's kappa from 0.679 to 0.0. Similar declines were observed for the remaining RBAS components., Conclusion: The model's performance was affected by background noise, with substantial decreases in evaluation metrics as noise levels intensified. Future research should explore noise-tolerant techniques, such as data augmentation, to improve the model's noise resilience in real-world settings., Level of Evidence: This study evaluates a machine learning model using a single dataset without comparative controls. Given its non-comparative design and specific focus, it aligns with Level 4 evidence (Case-series) under the 2011 OCEBM guidelines Laryngoscope, 134:3537-3541, 2024., (© 2024 The Authors.

- Abstract
Objectives: Understanding speech in noise (SIN) is the dominant complaint of individuals with hearing loss. For decades, the default test of speech perception in routine audiologic assessment has been monosyllabic word recognition in quiet (WRQ), which does not directly address patient concerns, leading some to advocate that measures of SIN should be integrated into routine practice. However, very little is known with regard to how SIN abilities are affected by different types of hearing loss. Here, we examine performance on clinical measures of WRQ and SIN in a large patient base consisting of a variety of hearing loss types, including conductive (CHL), mixed (MHL), and sensorineural (SNHL) losses., Design: In a retrospective study, we examined data from 5593 patients (51% female) who underwent audiometric assessment at the Stanford Ear Institute. All individuals completed pure-tone audiometry, and speech perception testing of monaural WRQ, and monaural QuickSIN. Patient ages ranged from 18 to 104 years (average = 57). The average age in years for the different classifications of hearing loss was 51.1 (NH), 48.5 (CHL), 64.2 (MHL), and 68.5 (SNHL), respectively. Generalized linear mixed-effect models and quartile regression were used to determine the relationship between hearing loss type and severity for the different speech-recognition outcome measures., Results: Patients with CHL had similar performance to patients with normal hearing on both WRQ and QuickSIN, regardless of the hearing loss severity. In patients with MHL or SNHL, WRQ scores remained largely excellent with increasing hearing loss until the loss was moderately severe or worse. In contrast, QuickSIN signal to noise ratio (SNR) losses showed an orderly systematic decrease as the degree of hearing loss became more severe. This effect scaled with the data, with threshold-QuickSIN relationships absent for CHL, and becoming increasingly stronger for MHL and strongest in patients with SNHL. However, the variability in these data suggests that only 57% of the variance in WRQ scores, and 50% of the variance in QuickSIN SNR losses, could be accounted for by the audiometric thresholds. Patients who would not be differentiated by WRQ scores are shown to be potentially differentiable by SIN scores., Conclusions: In this data set, conductive hearing loss had little effect on WRQ scores or QuickSIN SNR losses. However, for patients with MHL or SNHL, speech perception abilities decreased as the severity of the hearing loss increased. In these data, QuickSIN SNR losses showed deficits in performance with degrees of hearing loss that yielded largely excellent WRQ scores. However, the considerable variability in the data suggests that even after classifying patients according to their type of hearing loss, hearing thresholds only account for a portion of the variance in speech perception abilities, particularly in noise. These results are consistent with the idea that variables such as cochlear health and aging add explanatory power over audibility alone., Competing Interests: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose., (Copyright © 2024 The Authors.

In the evolving domain of High Dynamic Range (HDR) display metrology, the precise definition and systematic characterization of input signals is important. Using input signals that include both spatially and temporally complex image sequences is beneficial to reflect properties of real‐world content as well as to cover corner cases. One challenge with using this kind of content is to verify if it is indeed suitable for the intended purpose. This paper introduces an automated framework employing a set of statistical measures to define and characterize content, which then can serve as an important steppingstone towards programmatic image sequences and testing workflows.

Purpose: The Listen to Learn for Life (L
3 ) Assessment Framework is a framework that outlines how to systematically assess the links between the classroom environment, listening, learning and well-being. The purpose of this paper is to review the published literature to understand what is known about the characterisation of activity component of the L3 Assessment Framework and determine what is not known and needs to be investigated in future research. Design/methodology/approach: Literature reviews (Web searches for systematic, scoping or general reviews; scoping reviews following the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews protocol; and extended Web searches) were conducted to characterise lecture, group work and independent work activities in terms of the perceptual setting, source degradation and transmission degradation. Findings: Most research that has been conducted is for classrooms in general and does not specify results specifically for lecture, group work and independent work, which is important for understanding how the learning environment changes with the different activities. What is known about the lecture, group work and independent work activities are discussed; however, it is noted that this often comes from only a few studies. Future research areas to contribute to this literature as well as fill current research gaps are proposed. Originality/value: To the best of the authors' knowledge, this paper is the first review paper to synthesize previous research characterising the classroom environment for different activities using the L3 Assessment Framework. It provides an analysis of the limitations of existing literature and proposes future research to help fill in these gaps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Reorganization of neonatal intensive care by introducing clinical microsystems may help to allocate nursing time more appropriately to the needs of patients. However, there is concern that cohorting infants according to acuity may enhance noise levels. This single-center study investigated the impact of reorganization of neonatal intensive care unit by implementing clinical microsystems in a Level III NICU on environmental noise. This prospective study measured 24-h noise levels over a period of 6 months during pre- and post-implementation of microsystems cohorting infants of similar acuity. Comparative analyses of the mixed acuity (i.e., before) and the cohorting (i.e., after) model were performed by creating daily profiles from continuous noise level measurements and calculating the length of exposure to predefined noise levels. Compared to baseline daytime measurements, noise levels were 3-6 dBA higher during physician handover. Noise levels were 2-3 dBA lower on weekends and 3-4 dBA lower at night, independent of the organizational model. The introduction of clinical microsystems slightly increased average noise levels for high-acuity pods (A and B) but produced a much more substantial decrease for low-acuity pods (E), leading to an overall reduction in unit-wide noise levels. Conclusion: Our data show that noise levels are more driven by human behavior than by technical devices. Implementation of microsystems may help to reduce noise exposure in the lower acuity pods in a NICU. What is Known: • Excessive noise levels can lead to adverse effects on the health and development of premature infants and other critically ill newborns. • The reorganization of the neonatal intensive care unit following the clinical microsystems principles might improve quality of care but also affect noise exposure of staff and patients. What is New: • The transition from a mixed -acuity to cohorting model is associated with an overall reduction in noise levels, particularly in low-acuity pods requiring less nursing care. • Nevertheless, baseline noise levels in both models exceeded the standard permissible limits., (© 2023.

In the field of deep matching, a large amount of noisy data in Chinese long texts affects the matching effect. Most long-form text matching models use all text data indiscriminately, which results in a large amount of noisy data, and thus the PageRank algorithm is combined with Transformer to filter noise. For sentence-level noise detection, after calculating the overlap rate of words to evaluate the similarity, a sentence-level relationship graph is constructed and filtered by using the PageRank algorithm; for word-level noise detection, based on the attention score in Transformer, a word graph is established, then the PageRank algorithm is executed on graph, combined with self-attention weights, to select keywords to highlight topic relevance, the noisy words are filtered sequentially at different layers in the module, layer by layer. In addition, during the model training, PolyLoss is applied to replace the traditional binary Cross-Entropy loss function, thus reducing the difficulty of hyperparameter tuning. Finally, a better filtering strategy is proposed and experiments are conducted to verify it on two Chinese long-form text matching datasets. The result shows that the matching model based on the noise filtering strategy of this paper can better filter the noise and capture the matching signal more accurately. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Noise exposure has reached an alarming degree over the years because of rapid growth in the industry, transportation, and urbanization. Therefore, it is a dire need to provide awareness of the sources and mitigation strategies of noise, and to highlight the health, and socio-economic impacts of noise. A few research studies have documented this emerging issue; however, there is no comprehensive document describing all types of noise, their impacts on living organisms, and control strategies. This review article summarizes the sources of noise; their effects on industrial workers, citizens, and animals; and the value of property in noisy areas. The plethora of literature is showing an increased level of noise in various cities of the world, which have various health consequences such as high blood pressure, insomnia, nausea, heart attack, exhaustion, dizziness, headache, and triggered hearing loss. Apart from humans, noise also affects animal habitat, preying, and reproduction ability; increases heart rate and hearing loss to even death and loss in property value; and impairs the hospital environment. Finally, we have discussed the possible strategies to mitigate the noise problem, policy statements, and regulations to be followed, with future research directions based on the identified research gaps., (© 2022.

- Abstract
The soundscape study of an eastern Indian coastal city (Puri) has been investigated. Acoustic data were collected at 36 sampling locations during two time intervals in and around Puri. A number of noise indices, namely, Lmin, Lmax, and Leq, were calculated to demonstrate the noise level of this city. Noise maps are generated using ARC-GIS to investigate the impact of road traffic noise on the soundscape of the city. The response of the public was appraised by a questionnaire. Due to variable traffic features, the equivalent noise level (Leq) as well as peak (L
10 ) and background noise (L90 ) levels varied with location and time of the day. It was found that socio-demographic characteristics have no bearing on the amount of annoyance. However, a link was observed between age, hearing condition, and noise perception, as well as between gender and impacts of noise., (© 2023.

With the advancement of IoT(Internet of Things), image processing is being studied in various fields. Salt and pepper(S&P) noise in image acquisition devices, such as CT(Computed Tomography), MRI(Magnetic Resonance Imaging), X-ray, and scanning equipment, may develop due to environmental and physical factors, thereby distorting the original image. Numerous studies have been conducted to remove S&P noise, but existing filters have shown significantly insufficient restoration of high-density noise, low-light, and patterned images. Therefore, this paper proposes a filter high-density and low-light noise environments and preserve the patterns properties appearing in the images. In the proposed algorithm, we design local masks transformed for high-density noise and low-light images and defined the patterns represented in the images by determining and grouping similar pixels. Different filters are applied according to the pattern of similar pixel group to preserve the geometry based on its position in the input image. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Perona-Malik (P-M) model exhibits deficiencies such as noise amplification, new noise introduction, and significant gradient effects when processing noisy images. To address these issues, this paper proposes an image-denoising algorithm, ACE-GPM, which integrates an Automatic Color Equalization (ACE) algorithm with a gradient-adjusted P-M model. Initially, the ACE algorithm is employed to enhance the contrast of low-light images obscured by fog and noise. Subsequently, the Otsu method, a technique to find the optimal threshold based on between-class variance, is applied for precise segmentation, enabling more accurate identification of different regions within the image. After that, distinct gradients enhance the image's foreground and background via an enhancement function that accentuates edge and detailed information. The denoising process is finalized by applying the gradient P-M model, employing a gradient descent approach to further emphasize image edges and details. Experimental evidence indicates that the proposed ACE-GPM algorithm not only elevates image contrast and eliminates noise more effectively than other denoising methods but also preserves image details and texture information, evidenced by an average increase of 0.42 in the information entropy value. Moreover, the proposed solution achieves these outcomes with reduced computational resource expenditures while maintaining high image quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper proposes a smart method to remove network nodes that are highly prone to impulse noise and replacing them with a linear combination of existing more reliable nodes. This is done to reduce communication cost. To reduce the communication cost in a network, a common way is to remove some nodes randomly and then replace the intermediate estimation of these nodes by the corresponding node estimation. In this direction, the contribution of this paper is twofold. First, we suggest to remove the nodes smartly by omitting the unreliable nodes prone to impulsive noise. This is done by computing the disturbance induced in the adaptation step of the diffusion least mean square. Second, we replace the estimation of removing nodes by a linear combination of existing estimations of reliable nodes instead of just replacing by the estimation of the corresponding node. Also, the coefficients of linear combination are optimized based on the minimum disturbance principle. Furthermore, the minimum achievable disturbance is calculated mathematically and a necessary and sufficient condition for stability of the proposed algorithm is presented. Finally, the simulation results show the efficiency of the proposed method in comparison with some state-of-the-art algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A full‐panel circuit model of the on‐cell touch AMOLED is introduced to simulate the mutual interference between touch and display operations. The proposed panel model successfully reproduced nonlinear behaviors of the display noise observed in real systems. Also, the reverse‐directional interference, i.e., touch‐to‐display coupling, was simulated, showing that touch stimulation incurs the fluctuation of display charging voltages, possibly causing perceivable line defects. The proposed panel model can be used for various touch/display algorithms to reduce the interference effects and to determine key design parameters for new panels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Elevated noise level is an emerging global problem. Therefore, the present work is conducted that can improve, increase, and integrate the already known issue in literature with new information coming from an emerging country such as Pakistan. The objectives of this study were (i) to assess the urban noise levels and traffic density of Chiniot and Jhang and (ii) to determine nonauditory health effects of noise levels on the residents of both cities. Noise levels were examined from 181 locations (103 from Jhang and 78 from Chiniot) and categorized into hospitals, educational, religious and recreational, residential, industrial areas, and traffic intersections. A-weighted noise level measurements were taken using an integrated sound level meter which recorded short-term road traffic noise continuously for 15 min at each location (LA
eq15 ). The urban noise data showed 82% of the sites in Jhang (LAmax = 103 dB) and 95% in Chiniot (LAmax = 120 dB) exceeded the noise limits set by the National Environment Quality Standard of Pakistan (NEQS-Pak) and World Health Organization (WHO). Moreover, higher intensity of noise levels (LAeq15 ≥ 100 dB) was recorded in Chiniot (17 sites) than in Jhang (1 site). Regression analysis showed a relatively strong relationship of traffic density with noise at Chiniot (R2 = 0.48) compared to Jhang (R2 = 0.31). However, spatial variability of noise with traffic density was observed in both cities. Survey study revealed that all the respondents in Jhang and Chiniot suffered from many noise-related health problems such as annoyance (53 and 51%), depression (45 and 47%), dizziness (61 and 65%), headache (67 and 64%), hypertension (71 and 56%), hearing loss (53 and 56%), physiological stress (65 and 65%), sleeplessness (81 and 84%), and tinnitus (70 and 62%) due to noise, respectively. We conclude that noise levels are higher in Chiniot primarily due to high road traffic and secondarily due to high population density. It is recommended that vehicle maintenance and family and urban planning could be effective measures to reduce urban noise levels., (© 2021.

In response to the challenges of accurately identifying event triggers and elements in long texts related to aquaculture, existing models struggle to differentiate between elements and triggers, as well as effectively recognize complete entity texts. To tackle this issue, this study proposes an algorithm for extracting fish disease events based on pseudo triggers and augmented event element data. The method starts by constructing pseudo samples using the original dataset. Two types of noise datasets are then generated: a trigger noise dataset constructed based on fish disease triggers and an entity noise dataset with varying levels of entity noise constructed based on fish disease entities. Next, three parallel neural networks are deployed to extract sample features from these datasets. The fish disease event extraction for the source dataset employs multi-label classification. For the trigger noise dataset, the sample features are activated using the sigmoid function, and the MRSE loss is utilized for optimization of this branch. For the entity noise dataset, the sample features are activated using the Relu function, and the XOR loss is used for optimization. Finally, the losses from the three branches are combined with weighted summation to obtain the fusion loss. The experimental results on the fish disease dataset used in this paper show that the proposed algorithm achieves an average accuracy of 78.71%, 78.95%, and 79.43% on F1, recall, and precision, respectively, which is a maximum improvement of 11.201%, 11.849%, and 12.421% in accuracy with respect to the baseline model on F1, recall, and precision, respectively.

Publicly available ionograms are often in the form of pictures. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for extracting and repairing the F layer traces from pictorial ionograms. Extensive efforts have been invested in ionogram autoscaling and critical parameter identification to improve the efficiency of scaling algorithms. To obtain the parameters of the F layer automatically, it is necessary to accurately extract the F layer trace. However, research on F layer trace extraction with repair is relatively limited. The method employed in this study makes full use of the characteristics of different types of echoes on the ionograms, and the procedure includes noise preprocessing, coupling noise processing, and trace repair. To enhance the applicability of the repair, two different automatic filling algorithms are adopted to repair the F layer trace. The aim of this paper is to present an adaptive algorithm to automatically extract and repair F layer traces from different pictorial ionograms. The results of Hainan Fuke ionograms illustrate the reliability of the F layer trace extraction and trace repair. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The edge detection method based on the magnetic gradient tensor data plays an important role in magnetic exploration because it is free from geomagnetic interference and contains more abundant information. This paper proposes a new anomaly edge detection method using the magnetic gradient tensor components. The model is established to compare with other methods, such as directional total horizontal derivative (THD
z ), analytical signal (AS), tilt angle, theta map, and so on, under conditions of vertical magnetization, oblique magnetization, and noise interference. Through the study of the anomaly distribution of the rectangular model, it is observed that the edge detection method proposed in this paper is nearly impervious to noise interference, exhibits strong anti-interference capabilities, delivers a high-quality boundary identification effect, and provides greater accuracy in anomaly edges with minimal error. When multiple anomalous bodies are present, the edge detection results are less susceptible to interference from each other, resulting in higher resolution. The efficiency of the algorithm is demonstrated by real magnetic data from some study areas in Jiangxi Province, China. The experimental results show that the proposed method is more precise and accurate than the total horizontal derivative, analytical signal, tilt angle, and theta map methods.

It is a distinct privilege to produce this article to honor Professor Tam, the foremost authority on jet aeroacoustics. The fundamental characteristics of jet noise have been studied for 70 years, since the pioneering work of Lighthill in the 1950s. The acoustic analogy, with many variants, has served as the leading theory for nearly 50 years. Many leading researchers in the 1970s formulated theories to interpret the measured trends from subsonic and supersonic jets, using acoustic analogy and flow features as the framework. Quadrupoles, dipoles and monopoles were believed to constitute the sources of noise. The discovery of large-scale organized structures in free shear layers and jets sparked a different avenue of thinking about their importance for noise generation. Tam was the first to clearly demonstrate that these structures are efficient generators of noise and constitute the dominant noise sources, especially in the downstream direction. Now, two schools of thought emerged on the sources of jet noise. Experimental measurements showed that the mean flow as well as the turbulence statistics exhibit a self-similarity in the mixing layer and another similarity in the fully developed jet. Based on these observations, Tam proposed that since noise is generated by the turbulence of the jet, the noise spectra generated by fine-scale and large-scale turbulence should also exhibit self-similarity. By examining a large set of supersonic jet noise data acquired at NASA Langley, Tam offered evidence that the turbulent mixing noise of high-speed jets does consist of two independent self-similar components. In this paper, experimental evidence is compiled from an extensive database that quantifies the effect of several parameters that affect jet spectra. A new scaling method is developed and extended to noise predictions for realistic dual-stream nozzle geometries. The objectives of this paper are to serve as a synthesis of noise characteristics and to focus on application to real-world problems. Results from five different experimental measurements are examined: (1) farfield spectral characteristics; (2) azimuthal and polar correlations in the farfield; (3) correlations of jet turbulence fluctuations and farfield sound; (4) measurement of source distributions with an elliptic mirror; and (5) space-time correlation measurements in the nearfield with a cage array, and nearfield-farfield correlations. Two distinctly different trends are observed in the angular ranges of 50° – ∼120° and ∼120° – 165° for all the parameters investigated with the above five approaches. The salient observations are mutually supporting, and the cumulative weight lends credence to the proposition that there are two distinct sources of turbulent mixing noise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A preceding paper [M. Dhar, J. A. Dickinson, and M. A. Berg, J. Chem. Phys. 159, 054110 (2023)] shows how to remove additive noise from an experimental time series, allowing both the equilibrium distribution of the system and its Green's function to be recovered. The approach is based on nonlinear-correlation functions and is fully nonparametric: no initial model of the system or of the noise is needed. However, single-molecule spectroscopy often produces time series with either photon or photon-counting noise. Unlike additive noise, photon noise is signal-size correlated and quantized. Photon counting adds the potential for bias. This paper extends noise-corrected-correlation methods to these cases and tests them on synthetic datasets. Neither signal-size correlation nor quantization is a significant complication. Analysis of the sampling error yields guidelines for the data quality needed to recover the properties of a system with a given complexity. We show that bias in photon-counting data can be corrected, even at the high count rates needed to optimize the time resolution. Using all these results, we discuss the factors that limit the time resolution of single-molecule spectroscopy and the conditions that would be needed to push measurements into the submicrosecond region.

This paper analyzes the performance requirements that need to be met by a clock generator applied to a low-temperature quantum computer and analyzes the negative effects on the clock generator circuit under low-temperature conditions. In order to meet the performance requirements proposed in this paper and suppress the negative effects brought about by the low temperature, a clock generator for ultra-low-temperature quantum computing is designed. This clock generator is designed by using F-CLASS Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO), power filter, tail resistor, differential charge pump, and other techniques. And the noise characteristics of the clock generator are analyzed by Impulse Sensitive Function (ISF) and simulation results. After simulation tests, the average power consumption of the clock generator designed in this paper is 7 mW, the phase noise is −121 dBc/Hz@1 MHz, and the jitter is 62 fs. The performance of the clock generator meets the performance requirements proposed in this paper, and the reduction in the corner frequency proves that the circuit will have better performance at low temperatures.

DELTA-sigma modulation ,DIGITAL signal processing ,SIGNAL-to-noise ratio ,IMAGE processing - Abstract
Image processing has widespread uses practically in every branch of science and arts. Processing images is more difficult than processing sound or data as there are more bits in the high pixel quality image. It requires more space to store the image, more bandwidth to transmit it, and more time and resources to process. An image's complexity may decrease if its bit size is decreased. Sigma-delta modulation, or SDM for short, is an alternative method of minimizing data-word length to compression. Digital signal processing (DSP) systems can be made simpler by using the SDM approach, which was first created for analog to digital conversion (ADC). This paper suggests a novel way to use SDM in MATLAB for improved image processing. Consequently, the suggested single-bit SDM-based image arithmetic architecture is tested and compared with the traditional image arithmetic techniques. Additionally, to see the noisy channel influence on the traditional and proposed systems, some statistical metrics are also studied at different noise variance values, such as signal to noise ratio (SNR), mean square error (MSE), and Peak SNR value. The suggested architecture for the SDM-based image arithmetic precisely matches the addition and subtraction results of the conventional design, even yielding a higher SNR and the same Peak SNR as the traditional methods. In contrast, the outcomes of division and multiplication fall within an acceptable range. For better results the over-sampling ratio (OSR), an inherent characteristic of SDM must be increased at the cost of more processing cycles. Therefore, the trade-off between fewer resources, limited transmission bandwidth, and comparatively more cycles is provided by the SDM-based technique. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to systematically map research on the effect of classroom acoustics and noise on high school students' listening, learning and well-being, as well as identify knowledge gaps to inform future research. Design/methodology/approach: This scoping review followed the PRISMA-ScR protocol. A comprehensive search of four online databases (ERIC, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) was conducted. Peer-reviewed papers were included if they conducted a study on the effect of classroom acoustics or noise on students' listening, learning or well-being; had a clear definition of the noise level measurement; were conducted with high school students; and had the full text in English available. Findings: In total, 14 papers met the criteria to be included in the review. The majority of studies assessed the impact of noise on students' listening, learning or well-being. Overall, the results showed that higher noise levels have a negative effect on students' listening, learning and well-being. Effects were even more pronounced for students who were non-native speakers or those with special educational needs such as hearing loss. Therefore, it would be beneficial to limit unnecessary noise in the classroom as much as possible through acoustic insulation, acoustic treatment and classroom management strategies. Originality/value: This paper is the first review paper to synthesize previous research on the effect of classroom acoustics and noise on high school students' listening, learning and well-being. It provides an analysis of the limitations of existing literature and proposes future research to help fill in these gaps. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) has contributed to an increase in the production volume of RF-featured equipment. According to statistics from the literature, the IoT industry will soon deploy billions of products. While the concept behind these applications seems exciting, this paper sought to assess the effects the radio emissions produced by IoT products would have on the ambient radio noise levels within the unlicensed frequency bands of 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 2.4 GHz. The study extended to three environments: industrial, urban, and suburban. This study developed an IoT noise generator (ING) device to emulate RF noise signals in the desired IoT radio transmission band. The paper presents a simplified radio noise surveying system (RNSS) for data collection of ambient radio noise from five South African candidate sites. The statistical and empirical analysis agree that the level of ambient radio noise was directly proportional to the rate of IoT radio activities. The slopes of the regression lines demonstrate that 80% of the analyzed data developed augmenting trends. Approximately 20% of the data show declining trends. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multifactor uncertain differential equations are powerful tools for studying dynamic systems under multi-source noise. A key challenge in this study is how to accurately estimate unknown parameters based on the framework of uncertainty theory in multi-source noise environments. To address this core problem, this paper innovatively proposes a least-squares estimation method. The essence of this method lies in constructing statistical invariants with a symmetric uncertainty distribution based on observational data and determining specific parameters by minimizing the distance between the population distribution and the empirical distribution of the statistical invariant. Additionally, two numerical examples are provided to help readers better understand the practical operation and effectiveness of this method. In addition, we also provide a case study of JD.com's stock prices to illustrate the advantages of the method proposed in this paper, which not only provides a new idea and method for addressing the problem of dynamic system parameter estimation but also provides a new perspective and tool for research and application in related fields.

The paper presents the noise analysis of a MEMS and ASIC readout integrated circuit (ROIC) constituting the accelerometer developed in the frame of the InnoReh project, aiming at the development of methods for monitoring patients with imbalance disorders. Several experiments were performed at different temperatures and in different configurations: ROIC alone, ROIC with emulated parasitic capacitances, MEMS and ROIC in separate packages, and MEMS and ROIC in a single package. Many noise/interference sources were considered. The results obtained experimentally were compared to the results of theoretical investigations and were within the same order of magnitude, although in practice, the observed noise was always greater than the theoretical estimation. The paper also includes an in-depth analysis to explain these differences. Moreover, it is argued that, in terms of noise, the MEMS sensing element, and not the ROIC, is the quality-limiting factor.

Signal‐to‐noise ratio and spatial resolution are quantitatively analysed in the context of in‐line (propagation based) X‐ray phase‐contrast imaging. It is known that free‐space propagation of a coherent X‐ray beam from the imaged object to the detector plane, followed by phase retrieval in accordance with Paganin's method, can increase the signal‐to‐noise in the resultant images without deteriorating the spatial resolution. This results in violation of the noise‐resolution uncertainty principle and demonstrates 'unreasonable' effectiveness of the method. On the other hand, when the process of free‐space propagation is performed in software, using the detected intensity distribution in the object plane, it cannot reproduce the same effectiveness, due to the amplification of photon shot noise. Here, it is shown that the performance of Paganin's method is determined by just two dimensionless parameters: the Fresnel number and the ratio of the real decrement to the imaginary part of the refractive index of the imaged object. The relevant theoretical analysis is performed first, followed by computer simulations and then by a brief test using experimental images collected at a synchrotron beamline. More extensive experimental tests will be presented in the second part of this paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The phenomenon of multiple tones is a typical feature of high-lift configuration noise, and the underlying nonlinear and nonstationary features need to be revealed through time-frequency analysis. This paper introduces the Hilbert–Huang transform method to detect the inherent amplitude modulation and frequency modulation phenomena of multiple tones from 30P30N three-element high-lift configuration with both slat and flap completely stowed. The acoustic modes are extracted from the multiple tones firstly and then the variation features of amplitude and instantaneous frequency are analyzed. The results show that the acoustic energy concentrates on the primary mode with much larger amplitude. Moreover, both the amplitude and instantaneous frequency are periodically varied in time and the predicted modulation frequencies are equal to the frequency intervals between nearby tones, confirming that the inherent temporal features of multiple tones are amplitude modulation and frequency modulation.
