A fast and inexpensive method for the behavioral determination of hearing parameters like hearing thresholds, hearing impairments or phantom perceptions (subjective tinnitus) is described. It uses pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle response and can be easily implemented in a personal computer using a programmable AD/DA-converter and a piezo sensor.

Surface renewal is a micrometeorological method that is being used increasingly to determine energy fluxes, but its technical complexity makes it inaccessible to a broad audience. We describe the steps needed to set up and calibrate a surface renewal field station, to acquire and process data, and to correctly interpret results.

FAQs
Sensor selection must match the environmental variable being monitored, such as temperature, humidity, light, or pressure. Configuration then specifies the measurement parameters and sampling interval appropriate for the monitoring objective. This alignment ensures that the logger records the intended condition consistently and produces time-series data suitable for evaluating environmental change or exposure conditions.
Calibration checks help establish whether the logger and its sensors are prepared to produce reliable measurements. During setup, researchers should verify calibration before recording begins rather than treating deployment as the first quality check. This is especially important when the resulting data will validate experiments, compare environmental conditions, or support management decisions.
Power, memory, and data-transfer settings determine whether a logger can support the planned monitoring period and whether recorded measurements can later be retrieved. These settings should be confirmed alongside sensor compatibility and sampling parameters. Checking them before deployment helps prevent incomplete records or difficulties transferring the time-series data from field or facility monitoring.
A practical workflow begins by selecting compatible sensors and identifying the environmental variables to measure. Configure the measurement parameters and sampling interval, check calibration, and confirm memory, power, and data-transfer settings. Before deployment, review the complete configuration so the logger is prepared to operate outside the laboratory and store the intended record.
Before deployment, confirm that the selected sensors correspond to the variables required at the site and that the measurement parameters are correctly entered. Calibration, available memory, power settings, and data-transfer arrangements also require review. These checks are relevant in habitats, buildings, laboratories, and field sites where later access may be limited.
The approach is useful when researchers need environmental conditions recorded over time rather than assessed only at one moment. Its time-series output can reveal environmental changes, evaluate exposure conditions, and validate experiments. The same information can support conservation, agricultural, and environmental management decisions across habitats, buildings, laboratories, and field sites.
Recorded measurements allow researchers to examine how monitored conditions change over time and relate those changes to an experimental or management context. Depending on the selected sensors, the record may describe temperature, humidity, light, pressure, or another variable. Such evidence can help evaluate exposure conditions, validate experiments, and inform environmental decisions.
