USERS ACCEPTANCE OF LOCATION-BASED MARKETING APPS IN TOURISM SECTOR: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS [PDF]
Journal of Spatial and Organizational Dynamics, 2018 Mobile devices are the most used technology tools to access the Internet since they allow access from anywhere. This possibility has prompted companies to focus, to a greater extent, strategies based on geolocation marketing.

An anonymous entropy-based location privacy protection scheme in mobile social networks
EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2019 The popularization of mobile communication devices and location technology has spurred the increasing demand for location-based services (LBSs). While enjoying the convenience provided by LBS, users may be confronted with the risk of privacy leakage.

On Neighborhood Effects in Location-Based Social Networks
2015 IEEE/WIC/ACM International Conference on Web Intelligence and Intelligent Agent Technology (WI-IAT), 2015 In this paper, we analyze factors that determine the check-in decisions of users on venues using a location-based social network dataset. Based on a Foursquare dataset constructed from Singapore-based users, we devise a stringent criteria to identify the actual home locations of a subset of users.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Submodular Optimization in Location-Based Social Networks
, 2021 In recent years, with the increasing popularity and growth of social networks and mobile devices, the research on location-based social networks (LBSN) has attracted a lot of attention. As an important research topic in LBSN, submodular optimization in location-based social networks (SO-LBSN) has been considered by many studies, because it is useful in

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Query Processing in Location-Based Social Networks
Proceedings of the 26th International Conference on World Wide Web Companion - WWW '17 Companion, 2017 The widespread proliferation of location-acquisition techniques and GPS-embedded mobile devices resulted in the generation of geo-tagged data at unprecedented scale and have essentially enhanced the user experience in location-based services associated with social networks.

Finding Geo-Social Cohorts in Location-Based Social Networks
, 2021 Given a record of geo-tagged activities, how can we suggest groups, or cohorts of likely companions? A brute-force approach is to perform a spatio-temporal join over past activity traces to find groups of users recorded as moving together; yet such an approach is inherently unscalable.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
