E-commerce in the hospitality and tourism field has already ranked No. 2 among all online shopping categories worldwide. However, customers’ visits to a hotel booking website cannot guarantee generation of sales, while conversion rate is regarded as indicator that effectively assesses e-commerce performance. This study aimed investigate influential factors rates from both affective content comm...

Abstract Judging by its significant potential to affect the outcome of a game in one single action, penalty kick is arguably most important set piece football. Scientific studies on how ability convert distributed among professional football players are scarce. In this paper, we consider rank takers German Bundesliga based historical data from 1963 2021. We use Bayesian models that improve infe...

We consider optimal approximate conversion between entangled pure states in quantum systems when only local operations and classical communications (LOCC) are allowed. In particular, as a part of LOCC conversion, we treat LOCC cloning besides entanglement dilution and entanglement concentration, and derive optimal LOCC conversion rates under independent and identical distributed settings in the...

We introduce a new method for jointly estimating crossing-over and gene conversion rates using sequence polymorphism data. The method calculates probabilities for subsets of the data consisting of three segregating sites and then forms a composite likelihood by multiplying together the probabilities of many subsets. Simulations show that this new method performs better than previously proposed ...

With the intent of further exploring the nature of gene conversion in mammalian cells, we systematically addressed the effects of the molecular nature of mutation on the efficiency of intrachromosomal gene conversion in cultured mouse cells. Comparison of conversion rates revealed that all mutations studied were suitable substrates for gene conversion; however, we observed that the rates at whi...

BACKGROUND Mild cognitive impairment is increasingly recognized as an important public health problem associated with increased risk of developing dementia. Annual conversion rates, however, vary across different studies with clinic samples showing higher rates of conversion than community-based samples. OBJECTIVES To establish whether the rates of conversion from mild cognitive impairment to...
