Abstract:

Anthropogenic noise is a global pollutant, present in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Due to high species diversity and the characteristics of sound propagation in water, noise pollution in aquatic environments may be more detrimental than in terrestrial environments. Underwater noise affects the behaviour of mammals, fish and invertebrates, with changes to communicative and spatial behaviour among those frequently reported. However, relatively little work examining the effect of underwater noise on reproductive behaviour has been completed. Reproduction is essential for the prolifera

Noise levels in hospital settings have risen beyond the recommended range of 35-40 decibels, resulting in poor patient healing outcomes and other health conditions ranging from sleep deprivation, anxiety, agitation, delirium, depression, and high heart rate and blood pressure. These negative patient health experiences are evidenced by poor scores for the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems, which are indicators of patients' perceptions of care.

Abstract:

The assessment of the relationship between pollution emissions and health has direct economic implications. Health status is an important factor influencing worker productivity, and hence economic growth, as well as impacting on individual well- being. We implement various strategies to disentangle the relationship between short-term noise and air pollution exposure and health. In two studies we look at airports, which are sources of both environmental stressors. In the first study we use an administrative dataset on all hospitalisations in England, the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). We co

Abstract:

Environmental problems such as noise and air pollution are increasingly catching people’s attention in recent years owing to the industrialization and urbanization all over the world. Therefore it is important to develop effective methods to present information on noise and air pollution to the public. One feasible approach is to carry out prediction based on traffic data and make noise and pollution maps. GIS is a powerful tool for prediction since its spatial analysis function could be used in analysis and calculation. In addition the available GIS platforms also provide visualization functi

Abstract:

An increasing number of habitats are affected by anthropogenic noise pollution, which is often louder, has a different frequency emphasis, and may occur over a different temporal scale, than natural noise. An increasing number of studies indicate that acoustically-communicating animals in such areas can modify their vocalizations in order to make themselves heard over the noise, but many questions still remain, including: How taxonomically widespread is vocal flexibility in response to anthropogenic noise, and do all vocally flexible species employ the same mechanisms to escape acoustic maskin

We asked whether anthropogenic noise and animal personality interact to influence the settlement patterns and parental behaviors of individual eastern bluebirds (Sialia sialis) in a suburban landscape.

We collected repeated measures of neophobia, aggression, and nestling feeding rate in adult bluebirds while manipulating the sound environment at nest boxes. First, we added a recording of traffic noise during the nestling stage. We found that when expo

La pollution sonore en milieu urbain est un enjeu sanitaire important, et l'exposition des populations doit être estimée adéquatement. Les simulations qui permettent de générer les cartes de bruit employées à cet effet sont cependant entachées d'erreurs. L'observation de l'environnement est alors judicieuse car elle permet la récolte d'informations supplémentaires en différents points de l'espace et à différents instants. Nous proposons dans cette thèse des méthodes d'assimilation de données permettant la fusion d'une carte de bruit issue de la simulation (ébauche), et d'observations acquises
