As a complement to experimental efforts in seismics and acoustics to infer geo-acoustic properties of the propagation environment from the second order statistics of ambient noise measurements, a set of exact, explicit, closed form expressions for the cross-spectral density and spatial coherence of diffuse random wave fields is presented. Taken together, the expressions are well suited for modeling broadband, diffuse wave coherence in realistic scenarios involving directive, ambient noise from local (i.e., volume) and distant (i.e., plane wave) source features in an open, dispersive, attenuating medium.

Anthropogenic noise pollution has been accelerating at an alarming rate, greatly altering aquatic soundscapes. Animals use various mechanisms to avoid acoustic masking in noisy environments, including altering calling rates or the frequency (pitch) of their vocalizations or increasing the amplitude (loudness) of their vocalizations (i.e.

In this article, a CMOS-compatible Pirani vacuum gauge was proposed featuring enhanced sensitivity, lower detection limit, and high-temperature stability, achieved through the implementation of a surface micromachining method coupled with a temperature compensation strategy. To improve performance, a T-type device with a 1 µm gap was fabricated resulting in an average sensitivity of 1.10 V/lgPa, which was 2.

Introduction: Successful axillary reverse mapping (ARM) during lymph node surgery for breast cancer has the potential to reduce risk of lymphedema. Standard of care uses blue dye for ARM; however, recent imaging advances with near-infrared indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence has demonstrated potential to improve intraoperative ARM imaging. The objective was to determine the feasibility of using ICG fluorescence through the OnLume Avata System for ARM.

Aims: Exposure to air pollution including diesel engine exhaust (DEE) is associated with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Few studies have investigated the risk of AMI according to occupational exposure to DEE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between occupational exposure to DEE and the risk of first-time AMI.

While soundscapes shape the structure and function of auditory systems over evolutionary timescales, there is limited information regarding the adaptation of wild fish populations to their natural acoustic environments. This is particularly relevant for freshwater ecosystems, which are extremely diverse and face escalating pressures from human activities and associated noise pollution. The Siamese fighting fish is one of the most important cultured species in the global ornamental fish market and is increasingly recognized as a model organism for genetics and behavioural studies.
