the tourism industry is one of the most important phenomena in this century. to success in this filed, we need to study tourists and their behaviors. the current study aims to investigate the effects of behavioral variables such as variety seeking and novelty seeking on revisit intentions in the short, medium and long term, in order to study the process of return of tourists and identify touris...

We give a complete characterization of affine term structure models based on a general nonnegative Markov short rate process. This applies to the classical CIR model but includes as well short rate processes with jumps. We provide a link to the theory of branching processes and show how CBIprocesses naturally enter the field of term structure modelling. Using Markov semigroup theory we exploit ...

Many physiological events require an accurate timing signal, usually generated by neural networks called central pattern generators (CPGs). On the other hand, properties of neurons and neural networks (e.g. time constants of neurons and weights of network connections) alter with time, resulting in gradual changes in timing of such networks. Recently, a synaptic weight adjustment mechanism has b...

in this paper the problem on “magnetic fluid lubrication of porous-pivoted slider bearing with slip velocity by n ahmad et.al.[7]” has been recapitulated using jenkin’s model [4] with the additional effect of squeeze velocity of the above plate. it is found that while discussing the above problem, [7] has stated but ignored the term , where +, in their study (refer equation(2.2)). this paper re...

objectives this study is the first of its kind to determine the framework, advantages, and limitations of bot contracts for health care projects in selected countries. background advantages and limitations of build-operate-transfer (bot) contracts in various forms of public-private partnership (ppp) arrangements have not been studied. conclusions this study suggests that more information transp...

The ability to change behavior likely depends on the selective strengthening and weakening of brain synapses. The cellular models of synaptic plasticity, long-term potentiation (LTP) and depression (LTD) of synaptic strength, can be expressed by the synaptic insertion or removal of AMPA receptors (AMPARs), respectively. We here present an overview of studies that have used animal models to show...

This material has two sections. The first section details the sampling equations used for inference in the model presented in the submitted paper. In the second section we provide more experimental results that could not be included in the main paper due to space restrictions. 1. Generative model and notations The graphical model is reproduced in Fig. 1. To make this a self-contained, we first ...

The thermodynamical property of a small cluster including M Hubbard dimers, each of which is described by the two-site Hubbard model, has been discussed within the nonextensive statistics (NES). We have calculated the temperature dependence of the energy, entropy, specific heat and susceptibility for M = 1, 2, 3 and ∞, assuming the relation between the entropic index q and the cluster size N gi...
