the use of neural networks methodology is not as common in the investigation and pre-diction noise as statistical analysis. the application of artificial neural networks for pre-diction of power tiller noise is set out in the present paper. the sound pressure signals for noise analysis were obtained in a field experiment using a 13-hp power tiller. during measurement and recording of the sound ...

background: noise is defined as unwanted or meaningless sound that apart from auditory adverse health effects may distract attention from cues that are important for task performance. human performance is influenced by many job-related factors and workplace conditions including noise level. objective: to study the effect of noise on human performance. methods: the participants included 40 healt...

  Abstract   Background: Previous studies have indicated an unspecific correlation between noise   exposure and blood pressure disturbances. Blood pressure disturbances could be caused   by the environmental hazards such as noise exposure. The aim of this study is to analyze   whether there is a relationship between noise exposure and hypertension.   Methods: Atotal sample of 218 workers workin...

background: noise pollution has a particular importance in quiet environments such as hospitals. the main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of noise exposure on the auditory system, blood pressure and precision, concentration and other psycho-neural components. methods: this cross-sectional study was carried out in three large hospitals of shiraz, during the period of 2012 to ...

Abstract The sonic load of the engine is input for cabin noise design and acoustic fatigue verification in civil aircraft. Based on static database, an engineering prediction method blended wing body aircraft flight developed. In process prediction, sound source position correction, geometric diffusion, effect airframe scattering component are considered. air-frame level simulated analyzed. ove...

it is proposed to use a single base platform in the persian gulf considering its low depth and more appropriate environmental conditions in comparison to north sea and mexico gulf where this kind of platform is very popular. the pile of platform is responsible for transmission of environmental loads resulted from waves, currents, wind and dead loads to foundation of platform. using sacs 5.3 sof...

We have retrospectively compared the blood pressure load derived from 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with all clinic blood pressure readings elevated with those with only some elevated pressures to establish whether clinic readings alone are good predictors of blood pressure status. Fifty-seven patients attending a district general hospital hypertension clinic who were...
