Noise emitted from road, rail and air traffic and their effects on sleep
TLDR
The equivalent noise level seems to be a suitable predictor for subjectively evaluated sleep quality but not for physiological sleep disturbances, where physiological sleep parameters were most severely affected by rail noise.About:

Noise characterization of "effective quiet" areas on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.
TL;DR: Noise levels in “effective quiet” areas frequented by aircraft carrier personnel during off-duty hours when at-sea may inhibit auditory recovery from occupational noise exposures that occur on-duty.

The influence of a neighboring tunnel on the critical velocity of a three-dimensional tunnel-soil system
TL;DR: In this article, an analytical solution for the calculation of vibrations from a twin tunnel embedded in a half-space to assess the influence of a neighbouring tunnel on the ground-borne vibrations due to underground railway traffic is proposed.
The sleep disturbance index - A measure for structural alterations of sleep due to environmental influences
TL;DR: A newly developed sleep disturbance index (SDI) that constitutes a reliable and valid indicator of physiological sleep quality and increased with age as determined with polysomnograms from 193 participants observed in the laboratory and 56 persons observed in a field study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Continous rail absorber design using decay rate calculation in FEM
TL;DR: In this article, a periodic supported rail with infinite element in ABAQUS is developed to study the acoustic performance of the rail absorber and the decay rate of rail vibration along the track is significantly increased around the tuned frequency of the absorber.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid analytical-numerical modelling of ground vibrations from moving loads in a tunnel embedded in the saturated soil
TL;DR: In this article, the dynamic response of a floating-slab track and underground railway tunnel embedded in saturated soils under moving loads is investigated by a hybrid analytical-numerical method.

A Manual of Standardized Terminology, Techniques and Scoring System for Sleep Stages of Human Subjects.
TL;DR: Techniques of recording, scoring, and doubtful records are carefully considered, and Recommendations for abbreviations, types of pictorial representation, order of polygraphic tracings are suggested.
Directive 2003/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present technical prescriptions concerning the design and construction of agricultural or forestry tractors, as regards the rollover protection structures, as well as the approximation of the laws of the Member States to enable the EC typeapproval procedure provided for in Directive 2003/37/EC to be applied in respect of each type of tractor.

Annoyance from transportation noise: Relationships with exposure metrics DNL and DENL and their confidence intervals
TL;DR: Better estimates of the confidence intervals due to the improved model of the relationship between annoyance and noise exposure are provided, which is easier to use for practical calculations than the model itself.
