Switching and partially switching the hypercube while maintaining perfect state transfer
(Quantum Information and Computation 19, 0541-0554., 2019)
A graph is said to exhibit perfect state transfer (PST) if one of its corresponding Hamiltonian matrices, which are based on the vertex-edge structure of the graph, gives rise to PST in a quantum information-theoretic ...
Differential item functioning of the SF-12 in a population-based regional joint replacement registry
(2019-07-02)
Abstract
Background
Joint replacement, an increasingly common procedure amongst older adults, can substantially improve health-related quality of life (HRQoL). However, ...
Complete multipartite graphs and Braess edges
(Linear Algebra and its Applications 579, 284-301., 2019)
Given an irreducible stochastic matrix T, Kemeny's constant k(T)
measures the expected number of steps from any initial state to a
randomly chosen final state, and is thus regarded as an indicator of
the overall transit ...
An OpenMP-based tool for finding longest common subsequence in bioinformatics
(2019-04-11)
Abstract
Objective
Finding the longest common subsequence (LCS) among sequences is NP-hard. This is an important problem in bioinformatics for DNA sequence alignment and pattern ...

(2019-06-25)
Abstract
Background
Strengthening the coordination, continuity and intersectoral cooperation for cancer patients’ during cancer treatment is being underlined by international ...
To what extent do older adult community exercise programs in Winnipeg, Canada address balance and include effective fall prevention exercise? A descriptive self-report study
(2019-07-29)
Abstract
Background
Effective fall prevention exercise for community-dwelling older adults requires (i) challenging balance exercise, (ii) offered at ...
Case study scenarios in site selection of hazardous material facilities based on transportation preferences
(2019-06-08)
Abstract
A methodology is proposed to evaluate and rank potential sites for facilities dealing with hazardous materials (HAZMAT). The proposed methodology incorporates HAZMAT route planning into facility siting ...
The plasma peptides of breast versus ovarian cancer
(2019-12-23)
Abstract
Background
There is a need to demonstrate a proof of principle that proteomics has the capacity to analyze plasma from breast cancer versus other diseases and controls ...
Design Around Bundle Patent Portfolio Based on Technological Evolution
(2019-10-25)
Abstract
Product innovation can be achieved by analyzing leading products patents in the market. Different methods have been proposed for design around patent, commonly using the elimination or replacement ...
Tissue engineering a tendon-bone junction with biodegradable braided scaffolds
(2019-05-16)
Abstract
Background
Tendons play an important role in transferring stress between muscles and bones and in maintaining the stability of joints. Tendon tears are difficult to ...
