As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, more and organizations have implemented remote working, resulting in partial overlap between home work environments. This study aimed to develop tool named Perceived Remote Workplace Environment Quality Indicators (PRWEQIs) impact environment on worker well-being. A preliminary 20-item version was developed. In Study 1, an Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) ...

with the aim of identifying failure mechanism in oriented strand boards, failure behavior of wood strands under tensile load was investigated using acoustic emission technique. resinated and unresinated strands were arranged at top, middle and bottom section of the board before pressing. tensile and acoustic emission tests were performed simultaneously on treated and control samples. using tens...

Liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis has been successfully employed in proteome research. Data generated from LC-MS equipments usually comes with a considerable amount of noise. Thus, there is a need for the use of filters to enhance the quality of mass spectrometry chromatograms. An algorithm developed recently (CODA[2]) achieves good results in removing noise...

acoustic neuromas (an) are schwann cell-derived tumors that commonly arise from the vestibular portion of the eighth cranial nerve also known as vestibular schwannoma(vs) causes unilateral hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and unsteadiness. in many cases, the tumor size may remain unchanged for many years following diagnosis, which is typically made by mri. in the majority of cases the tumor is s...

Acoustic comfort is directly related to enhanced well-being and performance of people. A typical challenge faced by architects acousticians achieve adequate acoustics while maintaining the aesthetics space reducing visual aspects acoustic materials elements. In this study, we present a biofiber-based coating as feasible solution improve environments preserving spaces. An thin layer absorption m...

This paper's main issue is a strong advocacy in favour of an a priori classification of thermal environments that can be really functional to comfort assessment: Class 1, environments where comfort conditions can be established (comfort-prone environments), and Class 2, environments where this is not practically feasible. The former, which are also identified here as 'thermally unconstrained' e...

Low-noise thin asphalt layers (TALs) are a feasible solution to mitigate road traffic noise in urban environments. Nevertheless, the impacts of this type intervention reported mostly regarding levels, while non-acoustic aspects influencing population perception still little-known. This study investigates implementation TALs two streets Antwerp, Belgium. The effectiveness was measured via modell...
