Top-K Collective Spatial Keyword Queries
IEEE Access, 2019 With the advent of a large number of spatial-textual data, collective spatial keyword queries have been widely studied in recent years. However, the collective spatial keyword query studied so far usually looks for only a set of objects. In addition, the

Top-k Spatial Preference Queries [PDF]
2007 IEEE 23rd International Conference on Data Engineering, 2007 A spatial preference query ranks objects based on the qualities of features in their spatial neighborhood. For example, consider a real estate agency office that holds a database with available flats for lease. A customer may want to rank the flats with respect to the appropriateness of their location, defined after aggregating the qualities of other ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Spatial queries with two kNN predicates [PDF]
Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment, 2012 The widespread use of location-aware devices has led to countless location-based services in which a user query can be arbitrarily complex, i.e., one that embeds multiple spatial selection and join predicates. Amongst these predicates, the k -Nearest-Neighbor ( k NN) predicate stands as one ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Querying spatial data by dominators in neighborhood [PDF]
Information Systems, 2018 Spatial objects in reality are often associated with geographic locations (e.g., longitude and latitude) as well as multiple quality attributes. Quality attributes make it possible to compare spatial objects according to the dominance concept. Specifically, an object pi is said to dominate another object pj if pi is no worse than pj on all quality ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Error-bounded and Number-bounded Approximate Spatial Query for Interactive Visualization
Open Geosciences, 2018 In the big data era, an enormous amount of spatial and spatiotemporal data are generated every day. However, spatial query result sets that satisfy a query condition are very large, sometimes over hundreds or thousands of terabytes.

2DPR-Tree: Two-Dimensional Priority R-Tree Algorithm for Spatial Partitioning in SpatialHadoop
ISPRS International Journal of Geo-Information, 2018 Among spatial information applications, SpatialHadoop is one of the most important systems for researchers. Broad analyses prove that SpatialHadoop outperforms the traditional Hadoop in managing distinctive spatial information operations.
