Electronic gaming machines: an integrated mixed-methods examination of the spectrum of gambling-related harms
Background: Electronic gaming machine (EGM) is established as a particularly risky form of gambling. The harms of frequent EGM play and problem gambling are many, and negatively affect the individual, families and the broader community. New Zealand is one of the few countries that has incorporated …

Exploring effeminate gay men’s experiences of dating using gay dating and hook-up applications: an interpretative phenomenological analysis
… Research indicates that effeminate gay men (EGM) experience marginalization and subordination through consistent romantic and sexual rejection amongst gay men with a preference for masculine or ‘straight-acting’ partners. Furthermore, research has found Gay Dating and Hookup Applications …

Unmanned Aeronautical Ad-hoc Networks: Enhancing the Reactive-Greedy-Reactive Protocol and Introducing a New Mobility Model
… Secondly, we propose the Enhanced Gauss-Markov (EGM) mobility model for UAANET simulations to replace the widely used, but unrealistic, Random Waypoint (RWP) mobility model. Simulations performed using the OPNET simulator show that Optimized-RGR outperforms RGR. There is a 5.3% increase in Packet …

The systemic inflammatory response to dental plaque
… To use an experimental gingivitis model (EGM) in 2 clinical studies to 1) examine the systemic inflammatory responses to dental plaque, and assess racial differences in these responses; 2) determine whether dental plaque accumulation causes bacteremia and subsequent systemic responses …

Developing a framework for the study of gaming machine & associated problematic gambling phenomena
… associated with Electronic Gaming Machines (EGMs), with a focus on Victoria, Australia. It is also intended that this framework be applicable to other social phenomena, difficulties and what are generally understood as addictions. Thus, drawing on a range of theorists from physics, biology …

Three Essays in Life Cycle Modelling
… using the Endogenous Gridpoint Method (EGM). Establishing this proof reinforces the theoretical validity of applying EGM in this setting and helps ensure that a key structural condition, namely monotonicity, is satisfied. This extends the method's applicability to a broader class of …

Parametric heart modelling and in silico closed-loop validation of implantable devices
… address this need: heart modelling, electrogram (EGM) modelling and automation of closed-loop validation. In an ideal closed-loop system, a heart model responds to the device outputs in realtime according to the underlying physiological dynamics. Although biophysically detailed models provide …

AN INNOVATIVE WORKING CONCEPT FOR VARIABLE DELIVERY FLOW EXTERNAL GEAR MACHINE
… for variable delivery external gear machines (VD-EGMs) is presented in this study. The proposed design not only encompasses all the well-known and important advantages of traditional external gear machines but also introduces a feature for varying the displacement (flow delivered per unit …

Optimisation of feedwater heaters and geothermal preheater in fossil-geothermal hybrid power plant
… Units (EGU) and Entropy Generation Minimisation (EGM) analysis were employed to optimise the designed hybrid system. The feedwater heaters and geothermal preheater were modelled as counter-flow heat exchangers and a downhole co-axial heat exchanger, respectively. The feedwater heaters were …

Fecal consistency as related to dietary composition in lactating Holstein cows
… (G22) with combination of 50% corn gluten meal (eGM) and 50% SBM. Two forage sources were evaluated: corn silage (e) and alfalfa/corn silage (Ae) (50:50 on OM basis). Fecal consistency was evaluated using a 4 point scale (l-most fluid to 4-least fluid). Experiment 1 demonstrated that lower …

A Tissue-Engineered Microvascular System to Evaluate Vascular Progenitor Cells for Angiogenic Therapies
… endothelial growth media (EBM-2 + 2% v/v FBS + EGM-2 supplement containing VEGF, FGF-2, EGF, hydrocortisone, IGF-1, ascorbic acid, and heparin), promoted stable hCB-EPC network formation in MSC cocultures over 2 weeks in vitro, with total segment length per image area of 9 mm/mm2. Taken …

Evaluating a mathematics tutor programme for unemployed youth in a rural context
The most vulnerable youth in South Africa are aged 15–24, with only one out of three young adults working. Another predicament unemployed youth face is the poor mathematics education they rely on to prepare them for their future careers. This rationale motivated the implementation of a mathematics …
