This study seeks to study the relationship between market orientation and business performance and to evaluate the mediating effect of adopting a low-price strategy in this relationship in the hotel industry. A sample from the...
Software and Systems Engineers in ICS Security
The introduction of Industry 4.0 and IIoT has enabled the interconnection of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) and exposed industrial control systems to cyber threats. Industrial cybersecurity requires...
Recommendation System for Sightseeing Tours
This research proposes a model of a recommendation system (RS) for tourist itineraries. The RS suggests tips of what to visit in a city, based on the available time, personal preferences, current geo-location, and the user's...
A Study of Satisfaction and Loyalty for Continuance Intention of Mobile Wallet in India
How do satisfaction and loyalty drive Indian consumers' continued use of mobile financial applications? Do age, education, and income moderate these relationships? An analysis of 1,060 Indian participants revealed that consumer...

The Effect of Reciprocity on Mobile Wallet Intention
The authors build on the literature on reciprocity by exploring a prevalent social and economic phenomenon in the Philippines where individuals with positive mobile phone balances can SMS loads to acquaintances. This practice is...
FANCM promotes class I interfering crossovers and suppresses class II non-interfering crossovers in wheat meiosis.
FANCM suppresses crossovers in plants by unwinding recombination intermediates. In wheat, crossovers are skewed toward the chromosome ends, thus limiting generation of novel allelic combinations. Here, we observe that FANCM...
