world travel and tourism council has estimated that contribution of tourism sector to global economy and employment will be increasing in the next 10 years. travel and tourism contributes to various areas of economy and tourism is accounted as one of most significant industries of 21st century. if countries provide the required capacity for development of tourism industry, they would be able to...

Prior research in neurally-inspired perceptron predictors have shown significant improvements in branch prediction accuracy by exploiting correlations in long branch histories. However, systems with moderate hardware budgets typically restrict such perceptron predictors from correlating beyond 64 to 128 past branches and limit their capability to learn distant branch correlations, such as on th...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare clinical expressions (severity and loneliness), lifestyle factors (substance use), and vulnerability indicators (stressful childhood experiences) in patients with any same-sex attraction versus heterosexual patients diagnosed with depression and/or anxiety disorder. Little is known about this, even though it is now well documented that depression ...

Previous qualitative research on traditional measures of sexual orientation raise concerns regarding how well these scales capture sexual minority individuals' experience of sexuality. The present research focused on the critique of two novel scales developed to better capture the way sexual and gender minority individuals conceptualize sexuality. Participants were 179 sexual minority (i.e., ga...

Article history: Initial receipt 24 August 2016 Final revision received 13 April 2017 We tested the ability of a Euclidean algorithm to predict attraction to potential mates—a relatively upstream domain in the temporal sequence of the mating process. Participants in two studies reported their ideal mate preferences using a 23-item preference instrument. Separately, they rated their attraction t...

Historically, at first it was believed that contraction forces were directly applied by the newly synthesized collagen at the site of the wound. Later it was shown that cells mediate this process. Fibroblasts are considered to have the capital role of mediating contraction that appears to be a coordinated multistage process in both the intracellular and extracellular levels. The fibrous and str...

Lexical Attraction Models (LAMs) were first introduced by Deniz Yuret in (Yuret 1998) to exemplify how an algorithm can learn word dependencies from raw text. His general thesis is that lexical attraction is the likelihood of a syntactic relation. However, the lexical attraction acquisition algorithm from (Yuret 1998) does not take into account the morpho-syntactical information provided by a p...

Is a person more receptive to love and affection when his self-esteem, is high or when it is low? Learning theorists, clinicians, and dissonance theorists provide conflicting answers. This paper proposes and tests an explanation for these contradictory research findings. This explanation is based on the assumption that low-self-esteem individuals are unusually receptive to affection when they r...

Let F be an automorphism of C which has an attracting fixed point. It is well known that the basin of attraction is biholomorphically equivalent to C. We will show that the basin of attraction of a sequence of automorphisms f1, f2, . . . is also biholomorphic to C if every fn is a small perturbation of the original map F .

In this paper we investigate how case features are represented and processed during language comprehension. To this end, we explored the phenomena of case attraction in German in a series of four experiments using a speeded grammaticality judgment procedure. Case attraction leads to errors that are akin to subject-verb agreement errors intensively studied in English and other languages (e.g. Bo...
