Oncogene-induced DNA replication stress is thought to drive genomic instability in cancer. In particular, replication stress can explain the high prevalence of focal genomic deletions mapping within very large genes in human tumors. However, the origin of single-nucleotide substitutions (SNS) in nonfamilial cancers is strongly debated. Some argue that cancers have a mutator phenotype, whereas o...

Since the conception and exponential growth of social networking sites (SNSs), technology has advanced sufficiently to allow access them at any moment for reason. This given users a “virtual space” (VS) in which communicate “live” within (e.g., Facebook), space disparate research shown have an impact on users’ behaviors, thoughts, emotions. The present study aimed examine potential SNSs influen...

Although the number of users has been growing exponentially in SNSs, some SNSs are facing a financial crisis and might be shut down in the near future. Therefore, understand users' incentives to switch to another SNS has great influence on operators' business performance. The study extended "Push-Pull-Mooring" migratory theory to explain the switching behaviors of users in SNS. Structural equat...

Incorporating users’ personality traits has shown to be instrumental in many personalized retrieval and recommender systems. Analysis of users’ digital traces has become an important resource for inferring personality traits. To date, the analysis of users’ explicit and latent characteristics is typically restricted to a single social networking site (SNS). In this work, we propose a novel meth...

Social Network Systems (SNSs) allow users to easily share data and link them to other users. For the sake of privacy, users may define policies over these data, which can trigger conflicts with other users. It happens that the resolution of these conflicts lead to unfair situations. We propose a characterization of this unfairness by introducing the concept of equity in SNSs. This allows us to ...

Abstract Social networking services (SNSs) are constantly used by a large number of people with various motivations and intentions depending on their social relationships purposes, thus, resulting in diverse strategies posting/consuming content SNSs. Therefore, it is important to understand the differences individual network locations surroundings. For this purpose, using game-theoretical model...

We are living in an era when online communication over social network services (SNSs) have become indispensable part of people's everyday lives. As a consequence, deception (OSD) SNSs has emerged as serious threat cyberspace, particularly for users vulnerable to such cyberattacks. Cyber attackers exploited the sophisticated features carry out harmful OSD activities, financial fraud, privacy thr...
