Wind is an abundant, yet intermittent, source of renewable energy, with speeds changing both spatially and temporally over a wide range time scales. While wind variability well documented on large meteorological scales the behavior turbulent flow at high frequencies understood, there remain questions in literature regarding intermediate region these domains. Understanding microscale, here consi...

Three experimental paradigms were used to specify the auditory system’s frequency selectivity for amplitude modulation (AM). In the first experiment, masked-threshold patterns were obtained for signal-modulation frequencies of 4, 16, 64 and 256 Hz in the presence of a half-octave-wide modulation masker, both applied to the same noise carrier with a bandwidth ranging from 1 to 4 kHz. In the seco...

introduction:  the  use  of  mobile  communication  systems  has  dramatically  increased  over  the  past  decade. although many studies have been performed to determine the effect of radio frequency (rf) but  less attention has been paid to the possible biological impact of exposure to extremely low frequency  (elf) components.   the objective of this study is two folds. one is to design the ...

background: noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is one of the most common occupational illnesses. most of the studies on nihl were conducted at high noise levels that people are rarely exposed to but in industries. the function of the outer hair cells (ohcs) is impaired after exposure to industrial noise. distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) are useful in examination of noise-induced...
