background: the possible role of cochlear function in tinnitus generation is still a matter of debate. to assess the role of outer hair cell dysfunction in tinnitus and its possible relationship with ultra-high frequency (uhf) hearing sensitivity, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (teoae) and uhf hearing thresholds were investigated in normal hearing individuals with and without tinnitus. ...

This document is the first deliverable of work package three – Modelling and Design. It covers white papers that have been produced and peer-reviewed by the M-Zones partners by the end of July 2003. Purpose of this document is to provide a holistic view of accomplished work regarding the modelling and design of management concepts/systems for smart spaces and to evaluate the research quality of...

Global software development is an inexorable trend in the software industry. The impact of the trend in conventional software development can be found in many of its aspects. One of them is task or work package allocation. Task allocation was traditionally driven by resource competency and availability but GSD introduces new complexities to this process including time-zones differences, costs a...

(See e.g. [2], [6] or [18]. Of course p0(n) is not quite unique, but following common practice we will often say “the” threshold when we should really say “a.”) It follows from [8] that every {Fn} has a threshold, and that in fact (see e.g. [18, Proposition 1.23 and Theorem 1.24]) p0(n) := pc(Fn) is a threshold for {Fn}. So the quantity pc conveniently captures threshold behavior, in particular...

Introduction: Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most important factors affecting the auditory system and can cause sensorineural hearing loss. This study investigated the relationship between behavioral hearing thresholds in children with a history of jaundice and the maximum level of bilirubin concentration in the blood.   Materials and Methods: This study was performed on 18 children...

This deliverable reports on the results of the WebSand work package on Secure Web Interaction. It provides a wording definition and technical specification of the term and builds the basis for the development of the server-side framework that achieves Secure Web Interaction.
