This Editorial lead article for the Journal of Location Based Services surveys this complex and multi-disciplinary field identifies key research issues. Although has produced early commercial disappointments, inevitability that pervasive location-aware services on mobile devices will emerge means much is needed to inform these developments. The reviews firstly: science technology positioning, geographic information science, cartography, spatial cognition interfaces, ubiquitous computing;...

An assessment of the equilibrium dynamics biomolecular systems, and in particular their most cooperative fluctuations accessible under native state conditions, is a first step towards understanding molecular mechanisms relevant to biological function. We present web-based system, o GNM that enables users calculate online shape dispersion normal modes motion for proteins, oligonucleotides complexes, or associated units, using Gaussian Network Model (GNM). Computations with new engine are 5–6...

Motivation: The knowledge of protein structure is not sufficient for understanding and controlling its function. Function a dynamic property. Although structural information has been rapidly accumulating in databases, little effort invested to date toward systematically characterizing dynamics. recent success analytical methods based on elastic network models, particular the Gaussian Network Model (GNM), permits us perform high-throughput analysis collective dynamics proteins.

Wheelchair users are confronted with many outdoor obstacles in everyday travel that can make the task arduous and unsafe, especially unfamiliar environments. However, if wheelchair provided routes safely, accurately efficiently guide them to their destinations, then difficulty danger associated traveling might be significantly reduced. In this article, we present a routing method suitable for by taking into account sidewalk such as slope, steps, condition traffic preferred users. Our...

Reminiscence therapy is a psychological intervention which specifically designed to address issues of particular relevance older adults, such as depression. The latest approach the research on therapeutic utility reminiscence gaining popularity among researchers and practitioners, has yielded promising results. Specifying different types crucial component approach. aim this study was examine effectiveness integrative instrumental for treatment depression in institutionalized adults dwelling...

A map-matching algorithm is an integral part of every navigation system and reconciles raw inaccurate positional data (usually from a global positioning [GPS]) with digital road network data. Since both performance (speed) accuracy are equally important in real-time map-matching, accurate efficient presented this article. The proposed has three steps: initialization, same-segment, next-segment. Distance between the GPS point segments, difference heading direction consecutive points segments...

Geocoding is an uncertain process that associates address or a place name with geographic coordinates. Traditionally, geocoding performed locally on stand-alone computer the tools usually bundled in GIS software packages. The use of such requires skillful operators who know about issues geocoding, is, reference databases and complicated interpolation techniques. These days, advancement Internet Web services technologies, online provides its functionality to users ease; thus, they are often...

Accessibility information is necessary to support the everyday mobility of people with disabilities. As a service aid students disabilities, some universities and colleges provide maps accessibility for their campus on Web. Other maps, while not focused specifically students, about indoor can be extended by users. In this paper, requirements published in literature, criteria used existing geo-crowdsourcing services data (which are commonly based ADA standards) an optimal set personalized map...

<p>With the increasing impacts of climate change, there is a growing demand for accessible tools that can provide reliable future information to support planning, finance, and other decision-making applications. Large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4o, present promising approach bridging gap between complex data general public, offering way non-specialist users obtain essential insights through natural interaction. However, an challenge remains underexplored: Evaluating ability...

Background: Endometrial cancer (EC) is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers. Objectives: This study was executed to estimate role human epididymal protein 4 (HE4) levels in prognosis and follow-up EC. Methods: registry-based, single-center retrospective cohort conducted on women with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) between March 15, 2022, September 2023, at a university hospital Ilam, southwest Iran. The applied accelerated failure time (AFT) models dataset 38 AUB. Model...

Location-Based Services (LBSs) utilize information about users' locations through location-aware mobile devices to provide services, such as nearest features of interest, they request. This is a common strategy in LBSs and although it needed benefits the users, there are additional when future (e.g., at later times) predicted. One major advantage location prediction that provides with extended resources, mainly time, improve system reliability which return increases confidence demand for...

Much research has recently been devoted to developing approaches, techniques, and technologies which assist people with navigation within buildings. Routing is an essential technique often requested by users prior real-time navigation, providing them appropriate routes A survey of the literature reveals indoor routing approaches primarily based on shortest distance or fastest travel time as main criteria. However, such criteria that are common in outdoor may not be applicable navigation....
