(author), Alvarenga, D.L. (author), Comtois, J.M. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)Introduction: Elevated hearing thresholds have been documented in some astronauts after long-term spaceflights although noise levels were lower than those normally associated with noise-induced hearing loss in ground-based operations. The present study was conducted to determine whether prolonged exposure (70 h) to levels (72 dBA) recorded on...article 2004

(author)Study Objectives: Sleep problems are a common phenomenon in most neurological and psychiatric diseases. In Parkinson disease (PD), for instance, sleep problems may be the most common and burdensome non-motor symptoms in addition to the well-described classical motor symptoms. Since sleep disturbances generally become apparent in the disease...article 2011

(author)The present study evaluates neuroprotection in a marmoset MPTP (1-methyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) model representing early Parkinson's disease (PD). The anti-glutamatergic compound riluzole is used as a model compound for neuroprotection. The compound is one of the few protective compounds used in the clinic for a neurodegenerative disorder....article 2012

Beerends, J.G. (author), van Buuren, R. (author), van Vugt, J. (author), Verhave, J. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid TNO Informatie- en Communicatietechnologie (author)The relation between subjective and objective speech intelligibility measurements is researched. For a large series of speech degradations, noise, linear and nonlinear distortions (speech codecs), intelligibility tests were carried out using short CVC words. In the subjective domain the percentage correctly identified words is taken as the...article 2009

van Wijngaarden, S.J. (author), Verhave, J.A. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)Traffic tunnels are generally hostile acoustic environments, both in terms of reverberation and ambient noise levels. Public address (PA) systems used to convey spoken warnings must meet stringent design requirements in order to produce sufficiently intelligible speech. To be able to predict PA system performance at tunnel design time, two di...article 2006

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)The validity of the common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) as a model for human disease depends on the development of parameters with clinical relevance. We tested the effect of treatment with MPTP in two newly developed non-invasive motor behavioral paradigms in the context of Parkinson's disease. The "Tower" was designed to quantify the marmoset...article 2009

TNO Technische Menskunde (author), Steeneken, H.J.M. (author), Verhave, J.A. (author)Active noise reduction is a successful addition to passive ear-defenders for improvement of the sound attenuation at low frequencies. Design and assessment methods are discussed, focused on subjective and objective attenuation measurements, stability, and high noise level applications. Active noise reduction systems are suitable for integration...article 2004
