TL;DR: One hundred and seventy university students completed four gambling attitude scales constructed to measure general attitudes and attitudes toward gambling in casinos, betting on horse races, and playing the lottery, showing results to be internally consistent and to have short-term temporal stability.
Abstract: Social scientists recognize gambling as a universal phenomenon that occurs in a myriad of forms. Although gambling is often a harmless social activity, some participants become pathological gamblers. Given the negative consequences associated with pathological gambling, it is important to understand attitudes toward gambling because they typically represent a readiness to act. One hundred and seventy university students completed four gambling attitude scales constructed to measure general attitudes and attitudes toward gambling in casinos, betting on horse races, and playing the lottery. Results showed the scales to be internally consistent and to have short-term temporal stability. The most positive attitudes were shown toward playing the lottery and the least positive were shown toward betting on horse races. In general, men reported more positive attitudes than women. Positive attitudes toward gambling were related to a tendency toward risk taking. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Clin Psychol 54: 763–771, 1998.

TL;DR: The Human Resources (HR) function has had a long and well-documented history, during which it evolved through a number of distinct stages from a mere record-keeping function to one of strategic importance and bottom-line impact as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the strengths and weaknesses of remotely sensed winds are discussed, along with the current capabilities for remotely sensing winds and stress, and the observational needs for a wide range of wind and stress applications are provided.
Abstract: Strengths and weakness of remotely sensed winds are discussed, along with the current capabilities for remotely sensing winds and stress. Future missions are briefly mentioned. The observational needs for a wide range of wind and stress applications are provided. These needs strongly support a short list of desired capabilities of future missions and constellations.

TL;DR: It is shown that the performance of these multilength, constant-weight optical orthogonal codes worsens as the code length increases, allowing prioritization in optical CDMA.
Abstract: To simultaneously support multimedia services with different signaling rates and quality-of-service requirements in optical code division multiple access (CDMA) networks, a new class of multilength, constant-weight optical orthogonal codes (OOCs) with good correlation properties is constructed algebraically in this paper. The performance of these new OOCs in an optical CDMA system with double-media services is analyzed. In contrast to conventional CDMA, our study shows that the performance of these multilength OOCs worsens as the code length increases, allowing prioritization in optical CDMA. Finally, an application of these multilength OOCs to integrate different types of multimedia services is briefly discussed.
