Objective assessment of spectral ripple discrimination in cochlear implant listeners using cortical evoked responses to an oddball paradigm.
(2014)Cochlear implants (CIs) can partially restore functional hearing in deaf individuals. However, multiple factors affect CI listener’s speech perception, resulting in large performance differences. Non-speech based tests, ... -
Obligations, Ambitions, Calculations: Migrant Care Workers' Negotiation of Work, Career and Family
(2010)The literature on migrant care workers has tended to place little emphasis on themultiple relationships thatmigrant carers formwith care recipients, employers/managers and work colleagues. This article makes a contribution ... -
Observation of optical Stark effect in InGaAs/InP multiple quantum wells
(American Institute of Physcis, 1987)We report an experimental observation of a blue shift in the n=1 heavy-hole exciton line of In0.53Ga0.47As/InP multiple quantum wells resulting from a picosecond photoexcitation in the transparent spectral region. The ... -
Observation of pentacarbonylchromium on flash photolysis of exacarbonylchromium in cyclohexane solution
(1973)The first observable transient (lifetime > 50 ns) on flash photolysis of Cr(CO), is Cr(CO),, which is the precursor of two species previously assigned to the D,, and C,, forms of Cr(CO),, and now shown to arise ... -
Obstacles to the Implementation of an Integrated National Alcohol Policy in Ireland: Nannies, Neo-Liberals and Joined-Up Government
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)This article explores how proponents of a public health model of alcohol policy have, for more than a quarter of a century, argued consistently but unsuccessfully for an integrated national alcohol policy in the Republic ... -
Offshoring, Inward Investment and Export Performance in Ireland
(ESRI, 2012-03-28)Ireland is one of the most FDI-intensive economies in the OECD and is a significant export platform for both manufacturing and internationally traded services. This chapter provides case studies of three of the most important ... -
Olsalazine is not superior to placebo in maintaining remission of inactive Crohn's colitis and ileocolitis: a double blind, parallel, randomised, multicentre study
(BMJ, 2001)BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The benefit of 5-aminosalicylic acid therapy for maintenance of remission in Crohn's disease is controversial. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the prophylactic properties of olsalazine ... -
On Combined Rate and Power Adaptation for Indoor Wireless Environments
(2018)This paper presents a detailed study for indoor wireless environments, where transmit power, rate and target bit error rate (BER) are varied to increase spectral efficiency. The study is conducted for the recently proposed ... -
On the distortion of UWB circularly polarized time-domain pulses in presence of rotation
(2019)The paper provides a first theoretical study on the effect of rotational Doppler on circularly polarized pulsed communication. Despite the circularly polarized communication being considered immune to signal fading due to ... -
One Dummy Won t Get it: The Impact of Training Programme Type and Duration on the Employment Chances of the Unemployed in Ireland
(ESRI, 2011-09-26)In the extensive literature on the employment impact of public?sponsored training programmes for the unemployed, insufficient attention has been paid to the differential impact of different types of programmes and training ... -
Oppositional COMT Val158Met effects on resting state functional connectivity in adolescents and adults.
(2014)Prefrontal dopamine levels are relatively increased in adolescence compared to adulthood. Genetic variation of COMT (COMT Val158Met) results in lower enzymatic activity and higher dopamine availability in Met carriers. ... -
Optical measurement of ion implantation damage depth in multiple-quantum-well mesa structures
(1991)We have determined the depth of ion implant damage in semiconductor materials by nonlinear optical measurements. The carrier lifetime in ion-implanted mesas was measured by the pump-probe technique, and the carrier ... -
Optimization and Control of Large Block Copolymer Self-Assembly via Precision Solvent Vapor Annealing
(2021)The self-assembly of ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) block copolymers (BCPs) remains a complex and time-consuming endeavor owing to the high kinetic penalties associated with long polymer chain entanglement. In this ... -
Optimized single-layer MoS2 field-effect transistors by non-covalent functionalisation
(2018)Field-effect transistors (FETs) with non-covalently functionalised molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) channels grown by chemical vapourdeposition (CVD) on SiO2are reported. The dangling-bond-freesurface of MoS2was functionalised ... -
The Organisation of Asylum and Migration Policies 2012: Ireland
(Report prepared for the European Commission Directorate-General Home Affairs & published by the ESRI, 2012)This study is an updated version of the 2009 EMN study The Organisation of Migration and Asylum Policies in Ireland. It is intended to be a useful updated reference document, providing a `map? of immigration and asylum-related ... -
Orphans (Ottoman Empire/Middle East)
(2014)War, massacres, displacement, famine and economic crisis left over 100,000 children orphaned across the Ottoman Empire during WWI. Though most orphans were left to fend for themselves, as their numbers swelled, state and ... -
The Ottoman Empire and the emergence of its Irish Question
(2022)The Ottoman Empire and Ireland seem an unlikely pair in every respect. In the secondary literature, the paths of the two countries never converge. Except for Sultan Abdülmecid’s famous aid during the Famine, there has been ...
