Mobile information community develops quickly, as mobile telecommunication technology matches to the third generation. XML-based GIS becomes a global standard and the foundation. Recent developed Geography Markup Language (GML) allows integration of GIS location-based services, telematics, and intelligent transportation systems. In this paper, we propose a tourism information system for support...

Current mobile tourist guide systems are developed and used in separate data silos: each system and vendor tends to use its own proprietary, closed formats for representing tours and point of interest (POI) content. As a result, tour data cannot be enriched from other providers’ tour and POI repositories, or from other external data sources — even when such data were publicly available by, e.g....

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a condition that arises from dysfunction or early depletion of the follicle pool accompanied by an earlier-than-normal loss fertility in young women. Oxidative stress has been suggested as important factor decline women and POI. In this review, we discuss mechanisms oxidative implicated ageing relation to POI, particular mitochondrial dysfunction, apopto...

Point-of-Interest (POI) recommendation has become an important means to help people discover attractive and interesting places, especially when users travel out of town. However, extreme sparsity of user-POI matrix creates a severe challenge. To cope with this challenge, we propose a unified probabilistic generative model, Topic-Region Model (TRM), to simultaneously discover the semantic, tempo...

Hepadnavirus at very low doses establishes in woodchucks asymptomatic, serologically undetectable but molecularly evident persistent infection. This primary occult infection (POI) preferentially engages the immune system and initiates virus-specific T cell response in the absence of antiviral antibody induction. The current study aimed to determine whether POI with time may culminate in serolog...

L'infinito non esiste, è solo un numero grande, e l'unico vero cuore è al centro della Terra. Vai davanti a un vulcano e poi dimmi, come ti senti?

Wide transmittance range is an essential factor for the design of infrared optical materials. Traditionally, designs mid-far crystals have focused on oxygen-free systems chalcogenides and pnictides. Nevertheless, introduction elements with large atomic numbers, such as lone-pair cation Pb2+ halogen anion I−, based oxyhalides, can broaden range. Thus, two new polymorphs Pb(II)-containing Pb14O8I...

PURPOSE Postoperative ileus (POI) is common following bowel resection for radical cystectomy with ileal conduit (RCIC). We investigated perioperative factors associated with prolonged POI following RCIC, with specific focus on opioid-based analgesic dosage. MATERIALS AND METHODS From March 2007 to January 2013, 78 open RCICs and 26 robot-assisted RCICs performed for bladder carcinoma were ide...
