    Comparison of absolute magnitude estimation and relative magnitude estimation for judging the subjective intensity of noise and vibration

    No full text
    The method of magnitude estimation is used in psychophysical studies to obtain numerical values for the intensity of perception of environmental stresses (e.g., noise and vibration). The exponent in a power function relating the subjective magnitude of a stimulus (e.g., the degree of discomfort) to the physical magnitude of the stimulus shows the rate of growth of sensations with increasing stimulus magnitude. When judging noise and vibration, there is no basis for deciding whether magnitude estimation should be performed with a reference stimulus (i.e., relative magnitude estimation, RME) or without a reference stimulus (i.e., absolute magnitude estimation, AME). Twenty subjects rated the discomfort caused by thirteen magnitudes of whole-body vertical vibration and 13 levels of noise, by both RME and AME on three occasions. There were high correlations between magnitude estimates of discomfort and the magnitudes of vibration and noise. Both RME and AME provided rates of growth of discomfort with high consistency over the three repetitions. When judging noise, RME was more consistent than AME, with less inter-subject variability in the exponent, ns. When judging vibration, RME was also more consistent than AME, but with greater inter-subject variability in the exponent, nv. When judging vibration, AME may be beneficial because sensations caused by the RME reference stimulus may differ (e.g., occur in a different part of the body) from the sensations caused by the stimuli being judge

    The relative discomfort of noise and vibration: effects of stimulus duration

    How noise discomfort and vibration discomfort depend on duration has not previously been compared. For five durations (2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 s), the subjective equivalence of noise and vibration was investigated with all 49 combinations of 7 levels of noise and 7 magnitudes of whole-body vertical vibration. The rates of increase in discomfort with increasing duration were similar for noise and vibration, whereas they are currently assumed to be 3 dB per doubling of noise duration and 1.5 dB per doubling of vibration duration. The discomfort caused by low levels of noise was masked by high magnitudes of vibration, and the discomfort caused by low magnitudes of vibration was masked by high levels of noise. As stimuli durations increased from 2 to 32 s, the influence of vibration on the judgemen

    This study investigated the prediction of the discomfort caused by simultaneous noise and vibration from the discomfort caused by noise and the discomfort caused by vibration when they are presented separately. A total of 24 subjects used absolute magnitude estimation to report their discomfort caused by seven levels of noise (70–88 dBA SEL), 7 magnitudes of vibration (0.146–2.318 ms21.75) and all 49 possible combinations of these noise and vibration stimuli. Vibration did not significantly influence judgements of noise discomfort, but noise reduced vibration discomfort by an amount that increased with increasing noise level, consistent with a ‘masking effect’ of noise on judgements of vibration discomfort. A multiple linear regression model or a root-sums-of-squares model predicted the discomfort caused by combined noise and vibration, but the root-sums-of-squares model is more convenient and provided a more accurate prediction of the discomfort produced by combined noise and vibratio

    Multi-proxy reconstruction of surface water pCO2 in the northern Arabian Sea since 29ka

    We report here the results of a multi-proxy study to reconstruct surface water pCO2 concentrations in the northern Arabian Sea. Our results show that [delta]11B and Mg/Ca measurements of the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides sacculifer yield consistent pCO2 values with those reconstructed from the [delta]13C of alkenones when used in conjunction with foraminifera [delta]13C and Cd/Ca values. They reveal that this area of the oceans has been a constant source of CO2 to the atmosphere during the interval 5-29 ka, and that the intensity of this source was greatest between 11 and 17 ka, when atmospheric CO2 levels were rising rapidly. We interpret our data as reflecting variation in the strength of the Asian Summer Monsoon (ASM), thus indicating that the strength of the ASM varied in phase with summer insolation over the Tibetan plateau between 5 and 29 ka. In contrast to a previous study (Clemens and Prell, 2003), we observe no significant lag between the rise in insolation and the response of the ASM. Rather, our data support a recent study by Rohling et al. (2009) that northern hemisphere climatic forcing factors play a greater role in controlling the intensity of the ASM during times of intense monsoon activity, and that the southern hemisphere forcing is more important during times of weak monsoons
