Geographical social networks (GSN) is an emerging research area. For example, Foursquare, Yelp, and WeChat are all well-known service providers in this field. These applications are also known as location-based services (LBS). Previous studies have suggested that these location-based services may expose user location…

Predation is a powerful selective force shaping many behavioural and morphological traits in prey species. The deflection of predator attacks from vital parts of the prey usually involves the coordinated evolution of prey body shape and colour. Here, we test the deflection effect of hindwing tails in the swallowtail…

In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), the accuracy of location information is vital to support many interesting applications. Unfortunately, sensors have difficulty in estimating their location when malicious sensors attack the location estimation process. Even though secure localization schemes have been proposed to…

'Xiong Li' 'Ivan Andonovic'] As smart devices and mobile positioning technologies improve, location-based services (LBS) have grown in popularity. The LBS environment provides considerable convenience to users, but it also poses a significant threat to their privacy. A large number of research works have emerged to…

—Honeypots are a well-known and widely used technology in the cybersecurity community, where it is assumed that placing honeypots in different geographical locations provides better visibility and increases effectiveness. However, how geolocation affects the usefulness of honeypots is not well-studied, especially for…

'Shangqian Hu'] Abstract—Many popular location-based social networks (LB-SNs) support built-in location-based social discovery with hundreds of millions of users around the world. While user (near) realtime geographical information is essential to enable locationbased social discovery in LBSNs, the importance of user…

The utilization of numerous location-based intelligent services yields massive traffic trajectory data. Mining such data unveils internal and external user features, offering significant application value across various domains. Nonetheless, while trajectory data mining enhances user convenience, it also exposes their…

'Nino Vincenzo Verde' 'Antonio Villani'] In this paper, we propose a new adversary model for Location Based Services (LBSs). The model takes into account an unauthorized third party, different from the LBS provider itself, that wants to infer the location and monitor the movements of a LBS user. We show that such an…

The lethal control of large carnivores is criticized regarding its efficiency to deter hotspots of attacks on livestock. We evaluated the effects of wolf lethal removals on the distribution of attack intensities in the French Alps between 2011 and 2020, using a BACI approach with retrospective data. We built an…

The Internet Threat Monitoring (ITM),is a globally scoped Internet monitoring system whose goal is to measure, detect, characterize, and track threats such as distribute denial of service(DDoS) attacks and worms. To block the monitoring system in the internet the attackers are targeted the ITM system. In this paper we…

'Carsten Maple' 'Adeel Anjum' 'Yuh-Shyan Chen'] Smart devices have accentuated the importance of geolocation information. Geolocation identification using smart devices has paved the path for incentive-based location-based services (LBS). However, a user’s full control over a smart device can allow tampering of the…

Network security is one of the most important issues in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Networks are particularly vulnerable in hostile environments because of many factors, such as uncertain mobility, limitations on computation, and the need for storage in mobile nodes. Though some location-based security mechanisms…

'Guillaume Piolle' 'Erwan Abgrall'] In this paper we propose a novel way of deploying vulnerable architectures for defense and research purposes, which aims to generate deception platforms based on the formal description of a scenario. An attack scenario is described by an attack graph in which transitions are labeled…

Worrying about perceived threats is a hallmark of multiple psychological disorders including anxiety. This concern about future events is particularly important when an individual is faced with an approach-avoidance conflict. Potential goals to approach are known to be represented in the dorsal hippocampus during theta…

Interactions between urban wildlife and people are increasing globally. Some of these interactions can be negative and lead to human-wildlife conflicts. In St Andrews, Scotland, residents and business owners have come into conflict with herring gulls (Larus argentatus) and lesser black-backed gulls (Larus fuscus) that…
