Gambling at the time of COVID-19: results from interviews in an Italian sample of gamblers
(2022-02-07)The coronavirus pandemic affected the life of those suffering from addic- tive behaviors often confined to prolonged periods of self-isolation. To explore the variation of symptoms related to gambling, 46 outpatients of ... -
Gambling disorder in the UK: key research priorities and the urgent need for independent research funding
(2022-04-15)Gambling in the modern era is pervasive owing to the variety of gambling opportunities available, including those that use technology (eg, online applications on smartphones). Although many people gamble recreationally ... -
Game comics : An analysis of an emergent hybrid form
(2014-09-02)There has long been a shared history of visual influence and narrative crossover between comics and videogames. Taking this history into account, this article provides a critical examination of the newly emergent medium ... -
Game Comics : Theory and design
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2020-10-19)A history of visual influence and narrative crossover exists between comics and videogames. The digital mediation of comics has resulted in the two forms sharing common platforms for creation, distribution, and consumption. ... -
Game theory for cooperative and relay communications in mobile ad hoc networks: a brief tutorial
(2009)In mobile ad hoc networks such as wireless ad hoc networks and sensor networks, most of the functions (routing, mobility management and security) must rely on cooperation between nodes. Every node in these networks is both ... -

Gamification and e-learning for young learners: A systematic literature review, bibliometric analysis, and future research agenda
(2022-03-01)Over the last few years, gamification has sparked significant interest in both industry and academia. However, the focus of the debate has been mostly on game studies and human-computer interaction (HCI). Even though games ... -
Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), gamma butyrolactone (GBL) and 1,4 butanediol (1,4-BD; BDO) : a literature review with a focus on UK fatalities related to non-medical use
(2015-06)Misuse of gamma hydroxybutrate (GHB) and gamma butyrolactone (GBL) has increased greatly since the early 1990s, being implicated in a rising number of deaths. This paper reviews knowledge on GHB and derivatives, and explores ... -
The Gamma Ray Burst section of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Very High Energy Gamma Ray Astronomy: A Brief Preliminary Report
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2008)This is a short report on the preliminary findings of the gamma ray burst (GRB) working group for the white paper on the status and future of very high energy (VHE; >50 GeV) gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper discusses ... -
Gamma-ray burst dynamics and afterglow radiation from adaptive mesh refinement, special relativistic hydrodynamic simulations.
(2012-02-20)We report on the development of Mezcal-SRHD, a new adaptive mesh refinement, special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD) code, developed with the aim of studying the highly relativistic flows in gamma-ray burst sources. The ... -
Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Local Universe
(2009-01-20)With energy outputs >~10^51 erg in 0.1-1000 seconds, Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful events yet observed in the Universe. As such they are potential probes of the very early Universe, back to the era of ... -
Gamma-Ray Emission of 60Fe and 26Al Radioactivity in Our Galaxy
(2020-02-04)The isotopes 60Fe and 26Al originate from massive stars and their supernovae, reflecting ongoing nucleosynthesis in the Galaxy. We studied the gamma-ray emission from these isotopes at characteristic energies 1173, 1332, ... -
A Gamma-Ray Flare in NRAO 190
(1997-05-01)We describe observations of the quasi-stellar object (QSO) NRAO 190 during a gamma-ray flare from 1994 August 9 to 1994 August 29. This QSO was serendipitously detected by the EGRET instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray ... -
Gamma-ray spectroscopy of galactic nucleosynthesis
(2023-03-22)Diffuse gamma-ray emission from the decay of radioactive $^{26}$Al is a messenger from the nucleosynthesis activity in our current-day galaxy. Because this material is attributed to ejections from massive stars and their ... -
Gamma-ray spectroscopy of positron annihilation in the Milky Way
(2016-02-01)Context. The annihilation of positrons in the Galaxy's interstellar medium produces characteristic gamma-rays with a line at 511 keV. This gamma-ray emission has been observed with the spectrometer SPI on ESA's INTEGRAL ... -
Garden Cities - Why Not?
(International Garden Cities Institute, 2016-07-14)Here is a conundrum. Garden Cities are almost universally seen as a good idea, but we seem to have difficulties creating any new ones. Why is this the case? That question forms the basis of this paper. We want to know what ... -
Garden Cities – Visionary, Popular and Viable? : Garden City Perspectives Paper 4
(International Garden Cities Institute, 2018-10-01)In this paper we explore the question: how can new Garden Cities which are visionary, economically viable and popular be delivered? We summarise our ideas here and expand on them in the main body of the paper. The paper ... -
Garden City Utopias and Everyday Life : exploring the spatial accessibility of Welwyn Garden City
(2015-11-12)The concept of utopia, for many people, may have extinguished but the power of imagining cities remains vital (Brook 2013). David Pinder’s (2005) call for critical utopianism in comparison to authoritarian forms of future ...
