Visual stimuli presented just before or during an eye movement are more difficult to detect than those same visual stimuli presented during fixation. This laboratory phenomenon--behavioral saccadic suppression--is thought to underlie the everyday experience of not perceiving the motion created by our own eye movements-saccadic omission. At the neural level, many cortical and subcortical areas r...

Identifying the quantitative relationship between the sound pressure level and noise annoyance for environmental noises is important from the viewpoint of noise assessment. In this study, a method for predicting the probabilistic evaluation quantities like Lx ((100−x) percentile level) and LAeq (equivalent A-weighted sound pressure level) of the noise environment is proposed by introducing a no...

Noise legislation in South Africa was introduced in 1974. However, in industry, compliance with the recommended maximum equivalent noise level of 85 dB(A) is poor. The subject of noise exposure is reviewed briefly and a tentative proposal for a temporary raising of the statutory limit is put forward.

ultrasound images suffer of multiplicative noise named speckle. different de-speckling algorithms run either in spatial domain or in transformed domain. in this paper, an adaptive filter in spatial domain according to assume the nakagami distribution as the statistic of log-compressed ultrasound images is used. for de-speckling in transformed domain, the non-sub sampled shearlet transform is us...

.Measurements o~ the high-frequ~ncy noi:e of a silicon double-injection diode result in (i'l)=a• 4kT ( 1/r) ~if With a= 1.04 and m agreement With the literature. A new interpretation demands Nyquist noise with a 121 in these devices at high frequencies. This is in accord with an equivalent circuit derived for the doubleinjection process. Speculations are made on the general validity of Nyquist ...

background: in dental practical classes, the acoustic environment is characterized by high noise levels in relation to other teaching areas. the aims of this study were to measure noise levels produced during the different dental learning clinics, by equipments used in dental learning areas under different working conditions and by used and brand new handpieces under different working condition...

The radiation of sound from a perfectly expanded Mach 2.5 cold supersonic jet of 25.4 mm exit diameter flowing through a partially open rigid-walled duct with an upstream i-deflector has been studied experimentally. In the experiments, the nozzle is mounted vertically, with the nozzle exit plane at a height of 73 jet diameters above ground level. Relative to the nozzle exit plane (NEP), the loc...

background: educational centers have higher standards for controlling noise pollution as it has been shown that noise pollution is a major cause of discomfort for teachers and students. noise pollution reduces concentration, interferes in the conversation, and leads to dropouts and lower grades especially in mathematics. the present study aimed to evaluate noise pollution in the schools of birj...
