Perceived disability in children and adults with single sided deafness at two tertiary institutions
Background: Single-sided deafness is defined as a severe-to-profound hearing loss in one ear and normal or near-normal hearing in the other ear. The handicap experienced by patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss is well known, but the consequences of single-sided deafness are often …

Cochlear Implantation as a Treatment Option for Adults with Post-lingual Single Sided Deafness: A Systematic Review of the Literature
<p>Adults with post lingual single sided deafness experience a myriad of issues as a result of their condition. Speech perception in noise and localization are well documented as being compromised in this population due to the loss of binaural auditory input. Cochlear implantation was introduced in …

The Chemical Durability of Elastomeric Bituminous Geomembranes (BGMS) in Different Geoenvironmental Applications at Elevated Temperatures
… a custom-designed apparatus to age the BGM under single-sided exposure, it is shown that degradation times are substantially longer in single-sided than in double-sided immersion experiments only for the mechanical properties. However, the bitumen coat degradation is not affected by the ageing …

Investigation of High-Pass Filtering for Edge Detection in Optical Scanning Holography
… this split occurs, Airy pattern filtering and single-sided filtering were implemented to analyze the results from the original high-pass simulation. These methods were tested with different input objects to assess any common patterns. Ultimately, no definitive answer was found, as Airy pattern …

Spin-mixing and Interferometry in Microwave-dressed Sodium Spinor Bose-Einstein Condensates
… spin and spatial degrees of freedom beyond the single-mode approximation (SMA) during non-equilibrium dynamics in our sodium spin-1 BEC. These quench-induced spin oscillation experiments rely on microwave dressing of the $F = 1$ hyperfine states, where F denotes the total angular momentum of the …

PWM Techniques for Control of Dual-Inverter Supplied Six-Phase Drives
… dual-inverter supply. Compared to conventional single-sided supply topology where one end of the winding is connected to an inverter while the other side is star-connected, some additional benefits are offered by the dual-inverter supply topology. First, fault tolerance of the drive is improved, …
