Impact of NICU design on environmental noise.
For neonates requiring intensive care, the optimal sound environment is uncertain. Minimal disruptions from medical staff create quieter environments for sleep, but limit language exposure necessary for proper language development. There are two models of neonatal intensive care units (NICUs): open-bay, in which 6-to-10 infants are cared for in a single large room; and single-room, in which neo...
متن کاملStudy the effect of environmental factors and different carbon sources on dibenzothiophene desulfurization by Exophiala spinifera
It is necessary to reduce the amount of sulfur in fossil fuels due to direct impact of the quality of these fuels on the environment. In this research, a novel fungus strain of Exophiala spinifera, namely FM, was used to desulfurize dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a model cyclic sulfur compounds in oil and fossil fuels. HPLC analysis indicated that the fungus was capable of reducing 99% of DBT concen...
متن کاملChlorofluorocarbon sources of environmental contamination.
The quantities of chlorofluorocarbons (FCC's) used commercially in the United States and globally are reviewed, and estimates of environmental release from the applications are made. The results indicate that sizable quantities of the FCC's that have been produced have not yet reached the environment and that regulation of U.S. applications would partly reduce, but not end, the possible destruc...
متن کاملHouseholds contaminated by environmental tobacco smoke: sources of infant exposures.
OBJECTIVES To examine (1) whether dust and surfaces in households of smokers are contaminated with environmental tobacco smoke (ETS); (2) whether smoking parents can protect their infants by smoking outside and away from the infant; and (3) whether contaminated dust, surfaces, and air contribute to ETS exposure in infants. DESIGN Quasi-experiment comparing three types of households with infan...
متن کاملDrive-by Large-scale Tomographic Mapping of Environmental Noise Sources
In recent years, environmental noise has become a major concern in large urban areas, significantly reducing the quality of life and health. The measurement, localization and monitoring of various environmental noise sources are the key elements of success in tackling the urban noise problem. However, the deployment of fixed microphones at a dense grid of locations becomes prohibitively expensi...
