Low frequency background noise in rooms generated by numbers of human activities - traf-fic, railway, airport and industrial noise - creates major disturbances from loss of speech in-telligibility to stress and fatigue. To overcome such situations classica ...
The present thesis applies the property hedonic price model in order to assess the economic value of environmental amenities and discrimination on the Swiss rental markets of Geneva and Zurich. Indeed, economic textbooks teach that differentials in environ ...
Modeling spatial and temporal noise variations at roundabouts is a tedious task. Indeed, noise levels are strongly influenced by the complex vehicle interactions taking place at the entries. An accurate modeling of the merging process and its impact on veh ...
As part of a 15-year railway noise remediation plan, 300km of noise barriers will be installed in Switzerland over the next few years. To enable pultruded glass fiber- reinforced polymer (GFRP) materials to be used for the noise barrier posts, a specificat ...
This paper discusses the areawide Dynamic ROad traffic NoisE (DRONE) simulator, and its implementation as a tool for noise abatement policy evaluation. DRONE involves integrating a road traffic noise estimation model with a traffic simulator to estimate ro ...
Objective: Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) has been shown to improve the outcome of infants with respiratory distress syndrome. However, noise generation could be of concern. Therefore, our study was designed to measure the noise levels o ...
Noise impact of road and railway infrastructures are more and more severely regulated by national laws: acceptable thresholds and reception levels are decreasing. It becomes necessary to predict more and more finely meteorology and its interactions with bo ...
The noise emission level from a vehicle is significantly influenced by different driving conditions and drivers’ behaviour. Almost all the in practice road traffic noise estimation models do not differentiate between different operating conditions. In this ...
We propose here a new pointwise wavelet thresholding function that incorporates inter-scale dependencies. This non-linear function depends on a set of four linear parameters per subband which are set by minimizing Stein's unbiased MSE estimate (SURE). Our ...
MEMS-based electric propulsion (EP) presents several advantages over conventional EP approaches, including scalability, redundancy, fine thrust control, low thrust noise, and reduced operation voltage. Small spacecraft (1- 100 kg) in particular stand to be ...
