The Australia Telescope 20GHz (AT20G) survey was used to select a complete sample of 656 Gigahertz Peaked Spectrum (GPS) sources with spectral turnovers above 5GHz. The AT20G has near simultaneous observations at 4.8, 8.6 and 20GHz, which makes it possible to exclude flat spectrum variability as a cause of a source’s peaked spectrum. Optical identification of the sample results in 361 QSOs and ...

We have observed 250 of the 258 southern sources in the complete 5 GHz 1 Jy sample by Kühr et al. (1981) using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 18.5 GHz. This paper focuses on the polarization properties of this sample, while other properties will be addressed in a future paper. The analysis subdivides the sample into flat and steep spectrum sources using the classification of St...

We present new, simultaneous, multifrequency observations of 45 out of the 55 candidate High Frequency Peakers (HFP) selected by Dallacasa et al. (2000), carried out 3 to 4 years after a first set of observations. Our sub-sample consists of 10 galaxies, 28 stellar objects (“quasars”) and 7 unidentified sources. Both sets of observations are sensitive enough to allow the detection of variability...

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. ...
