A traditional traffic signal control system is established based on vehicular delay, queue length, saturation and other indicators. However, due to the increasing severity of urban environmental pollution issues and the development of a resource-saving and environmentally friendly social philosophy, the development of low-carbon and energy-efficient urban transport is required. This paper first...

Vehicle exhaust emissions have posed a serious threat in recent years to the urban air quality of Beijing. It is necessary to accurately estimate the magnitude and distribution of these emissions in order to reduce the uncertainty of local scale air quality modeling assessment. This paper provides a bottom-up approach by combining vehicle emission factors and vehicle activity data from a travel...

excessive exposure to noise can lead to noise-induced hearing loss. otoacoustic emissions affect the microscopic biomechanical activities of healthy outer hair cells. the present study aimed at assessing the influence of various sound pressure levels on distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) in rats. to this end, 27 adult male rats with an age range of 3 to 4 months and a weight of 2...

background: the possible role of cochlear function in tinnitus generation is still a matter of debate. to assess the role of outer hair cell dysfunction in tinnitus and its possible relationship with ultra-high frequency (uhf) hearing sensitivity, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (teoae) and uhf hearing thresholds were investigated in normal hearing individuals with and without tinnitus. ...

Environmental pollutants have become a dreadful problem and burning issues for the present world irrespective of a country who is responsible for it. The objective of the study is to investigate impact of financial development and institutional quality on environmental degradation. The study is based on panel data for developing and developed countries over the time of 1996-2016. For the empiri...

This case was selected to highlight the importance of the test battery approach in the assessment of a child with auditory processing deficits. The utility of behavioral, electrophysiologic, acoustic immittance, and evoked otoacoustic emission procedures, as well as the problems associated with interpreting these multiple measures with differing results, is discussed. This case was confounded b...

Introduction: The national trend indicates that various provinces of Iran have experienced in attaining economic growth exclusive of parallel observing a boost in CO2 emissions. It is clear that the effects of CO2 emissions on health indicators such as death rate, infant mortality, and health expenditures have been ignored by policy makers over the last decade.   Methods: This study for ...

The increase of greenhouse gases (GHG) in which CO2 emissions constitute the principal component, is of major environmental problems of all societies. Economic growth impels intensive use of resources and as a result, more residues and wastes thrown in the nature that could lead to environmental degradation. This article tries to trace the eventual relationship between trade openness and enviro...
