Noise and Vibration as Elements of Nuisance

Neighborhoods as Nuisance

Neighborhoods as Nuisance Parameters

Deviations from the center within a robust neighborhood may naturally be considered an innnite dimensional nuisance parameter. Thus, in principle, the semiparametric method may be tried, which is to compute the scores function for the main parameter minus its orthogonal projection on the closed linear tangent space for the nuisance parameter, and then rescale for Fisher consistency. We derive s...

Noise nuisance and health inequalities in Belgium: a population study

Abstract Context Lower socioeconomic groups are more likely to live in contaminated environments. This may partly explain socioeconomic health inequalities. Aims Does noise nuisance contribute to socio-economic inequalities in subjective health? Method This research is based on the last Belgian census data carried out in 2001. We work on a 10% sample of the Belgian population. The data are proc...

Noise nuisance model for optimizing flight trajectories around airports

This work presents a noise nuisances model that takes into account not only the perceived noise but also the sensibility of the zone where this noise is produced. Several factors are considered, like the activity of the zone (residential, industrial, medical...), the time of the day and day of the week, the environmental noise already existent in the zone, the periodicity of the noise for sever...

The Effects of Noise and Whole Body Vibration on Urinary Metanephrine and Normetanephrine

Background and Aim: Little attention has been paid to the effects of combined exposure to noise and vibration. Exposure to noise and vibration can effect stress hormones and may lead to high blood pressure and cardiovascular disorders. This study aims to investigate the effects of noise and vibration on urinary Metanephrine and Normetanephrine among men. Methods: In this experimental study, 30 ...
