Increasing demands for precision electronics require individual components such as resistors to be specified, as they can be the limiting factor within a circuit. To specify quality and long-term stability of resistors, noise measurements are a common method. This review briefly explains the theoretical background, introduces the noise index and provides an insight on how this index can be compared to other existing parameters. It then focuses on the different methods to measure excess noise in resistors. The respective advantages and disadvantages are pointed out in order to simplify the decision of which setup is suitable for a particular application. Each method is analyzed based on the integration of the device under test, components used, shielding considerations and signal processing. Furthermore, our results on the excess noise of resistors and resistor networks are presented using two different setups, one for very low noise measurements down to 20 µHz and one for broadband up to 100 kHz. The obtained data from these measurements are then compared to published data. Finally, first measurements on commercial strain gauges and inkjet-printed strain gauges are presented that show an additional 1/f component compared to commercial resistors and resistor networks.

Unlabelled: Central auditory disorders (CSD) - this is a violation of the processing of sound stimuli, including speech, above the cochlear nuclei of the brain stem, which is mainly manifested by difficulties in speech recognition, especially in noisy environments. Children with this pathology are more likely to have behavioral problems, impaired auditory, linguistic and cognitive development, and especially difficulties with learning at school.
Objective: To analyze the literature data on the epidemiology of central auditory disorders in school-age children.

Purpose Of Review: Metals are common environmental pollutants. Acute and chronic exposures to non-essential toxic metals or excessive essential metals cause various diseases including cancer in humans. However, the underlying mechanisms have not been well understood.

Brain-computer interface (BCI) based on the motor imagery paradigm typically utilizes multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) to ensure accurate capture of physiological phenomena. However, excessive channels often contain redundant information and noise, which can significantly degrade BCI performance. Although there have been numerous studies on EEG channel selection, most of them require manual feature extraction, and the extracted features are difficult to fully represent the effective information of EEG signals.

Noise pollution is defined as any disturbing or unwanted sound that disrupts or harms human health or wildlife. Noise pollution can have profound effects on both human health and the environment. For humans, exposure to excessive noise levels has been linked to a range of health issues, including hearing damage, stress, and sleep disturbances.

Background: The use of U-Net and its variations has led to significant advancements in medical image segmentation. However, the encoder-decoder structures of these models often lose spatial information during downsampling. Skip connections can help address this issue; however, they may also introduce excessive irrelevant background information.
