The literature on the peer-to-peer hospitality market largely assumes that Airbnb hosts are loyal to platform. However, similar hoteliers, have access various platforms diversify their distribution channels. In cases where significantly channels, they should be considered rather as professional competitors mimicking hoteliers. Proposing an original image-recognition approach obtain a proxy of n...

traditionally, in suburbs of tabriz city, northwest iran (gps 38˚06΄n, 46˚15΄e, mean temperature of 6.6-20.0°c, sandy loam soil type), different types of vegetables including cabbages have been cultivated for many years. the cabbage cyst nematode, heterodera cruciferae was reported as one of the plant parasitic nematodes infecting kohlrabi (brassica oleracea l. var. gongylodes) and white cabbag...

conclusions the widespread distribution of l. major parasites in human suggests not only t. indica was the main reservoir but also other rodents and mammalian hosts might be the reservoir hosts of zcl in the region. molecular and phylogenetic analyses confirmed the strength of haplotype variation maintaining the circulation of leishmania species in their reservoir hosts. results leishmania majo...

The sex ratio response of a female Spalangia cameroni is affected both by the size of the host that she is parasitizing and by the size of hosts that she has previously encountered. When given small and large hosts simultaneously, Spalangia cameroni females oviposit a greater proportion of sons in the small hosts (King, 1988, Evolution, 42,1190-1198). This study examines how a female's offsprin...

Troubleshooting faults or performance disruptions in today’s Internet is at best frustrating. When users experience performance or connectivity problems, there is little they can do. The most common attempt to solve the problem is to reboot or call the provider’s hot line. Network providers have more information to use in diagnosing problems in their networks, but their network troubleshooting ...

Due to network latency and the mobility of the host, many existing group communication protocols are limited to a static environment. This paper presents a multicast rimitive fo r delivering multithe total ordering pro erty whach guarantees the ordering o message delfvery. The protocol also guarhosts exactly once. dguence numbers and message buffers are used to cope with message duplication and...

Remarkably, type III systems University of British Columbia also transport specific virulence factors directly into Vancouver, British Columbia host cells, acting as a s...

Identifying groups of Internet hosts with a similar behavior is very useful for many applications of Internet security control, such as DDoS defense, worm and virus detection, detection of botnets, etc. There are two major difficulties for modeling host behavior correctly and efficiently: the huge number of overall entities, and the dynamics of each individual. In this paper, we present and for...

Aims. We study the impact of the presence of planets on the lithium abundance of host stars and evaluate the previous claim that planet hosts exhibit lithium depletion when compared to their non-host counterparts. Methods. Using previously published lithium abundances, we remove the confounding effect of the different fundamental stellar parameters by applying a multivariable regression on our ...
