Sources of PM2.5 exposure and health benefits of clean air actions in Shanghai by Yixuan Gu, Daven K. Henze, Hong Liao

“…A negative response of the PM2.5 exposure to local nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission changes is detected in winter. Even so, controlling NOx emissions is still justified since the negative impacts decrease as anthropogenic emissions decline and NOx emission reductions benefit the public health on average. …”

Active Noise-Vibration Control using the Filtered-Reference LMS Algorithm with Compensation of Vibrating Plate Temperature Variation by Krzysztof MAZUR, Marek PAWEŁCZYK

“…The plate temperature changes, caused by ambient temperature changes or plate heating due to internal friction, result in varying response of the plate, and may make it significantly different than response of a fixed model. Such mismatch may deteriorate performance of an active noise control system or even lead to divergence of a model-based adaptation algorithm. …”
