Environmental noise, especially that caused by transportation means, is viewed as a significant cause of sleep disturbances. Poor sleep causes endocrine and metabolic measurable perturbations and is associated with a number of cardiometabolic, psychiatric and social negative outcomes both in adults and children. Nocturnal environmental noise also provokes measurable biological changes in the fo...

Flexible or innovative behavior is advantageous, especially when animals are exposed to frequent and unpredictable environmental perturbations. Improved cognitive abilities can help animals to respond quickly and adequately to environmental dynamics, and therefore changing environments may select for higher cognitive abilities. Increased cognitive abilities can be attained, for instance, if env...

In the present study, remote sensing of soil moisture is carried out using the Passive and Active Land S-band airborne sensor (PALS). The data in this paper were taken from 5 days of overflights near Chickasha, Oklahoma during the 1999 Southern Great Plains (SGP) experiment. Presently, we analyze the collected data to understand the relationships between the observed signals (radiometer brightn...

This paper presents all the aspects expected for the MediaEval Workshop. The tested and adopted solutions are well described and the interest of using a set of features versus another one is discussed. The conclusion follows state-ofthe-art findings and allows bringing new inputs in the understanding of emotion prediction.

Peters' formula is an analytical estimate of the time-scale gravitational wave (GW)-induced coalescence binary systems. It used in countless applications, where convenience a simple outweighs need for precision. However, many promising sources Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), such as supermassive black hole binaries and extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), are expected to enter LISA ...
