Impact of Aircraft Delays on Population Noise Exposure in Airport's Surroundings.

The motivation behind this research was to analyse the consequences of aircraft operations' delays on cumulative noise levels produced upon the neighbouring communities and to estimate the relative change in the number of people annoyed by aircraft noise. Many studies showed that residents' reactions to abrupt changes in noise exposure were more intense compared to the anticipated ones. Aircraft delays may cause such abrupt changes in noise exposure by increasing the traffic in some periods compared to the scheduled traffic.

Comparative UAV Noise-Impact Assessments through Survey and Noise Measurements.

Possibilities to use unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly growing. With the development of battery technologies, communication, navigation, surveillance, and autonomous systems in general, many UAVs are expected to operate at relatively low altitudes. Thus, the problem of UAV noise impact on human health and well-being will be more pronounced.

Mathematical models for absorption and efficacy of ovarian cancer treatments.

The creation of personal and individualized anti-cancer treatments has been a major goal in the progression of cancer discovery as evident by the continuous research efforts in genetics and population based PK/PD studies. In this paper we use our clinical decision support tool, called ChemoDSS, to evaluate the effectiveness of three treatments recommended by the NCCN guidelines for ovarian cancer using pre-clinical data from the literature. In particular, we analyze the treatments of PC (i.
