Resource theories are broad frameworks that capture how useful objects in performing specific tasks. In this paper we devise a formal resource theory quantum measurements, focusing on the ability of measurement to acquire information. The equivalence classes positive operator-valued measures (POVMs), and free transformations changes device can only deteriorate its report information about physi...

This commentary reviews a recent piece by Burton and Rycroft-Malone on the use of Resource Based View (RBV) in healthcare organizations. It first outlines the core content of their piece. It then discusses their attempts to extend RBV to the analysis of large scale quality improvement efforts in healthcare. Some critique is elaborated. The broader question of why RBV seems to be migrating into ...

In this paper an epistemological model of learning fields of probabilistic events is formalized. It is used to explain resource allocation governed by pervasive complementarities as the sign of unity of knowledge. Such an episteme is induced epistemologically into interacting, integrating and evolutionary variables representing the problem at hand. The end result is the formalization of a p...

A combination of a finite number linear independent states forms superposition in way that cannot be conceived classically. Here, using the tools resource theory superposition, we give conditions for class state transformations. These strictly depend on scalar products basis and reduce to well-known majorization condition quantum coherence limit orthonormal basis. To further superposition-free ...

BACKGROUND Functional outcomes can improve with early intensive care unit (ICU) mobilization programs but require additional resources. Details regarding resource allotment and methods to deliver therapy are lacking. We describe an effective team-based, resource-efficient mobility program (REMP). METHODS Consecutive admissions (November 2009 to March 2010) underwent an evaluation by a physica...

This review paper examines the question of how to facilitate a more effective system of community knowledge mobilization given institutional and cultural separation among researchers and community practitioners. Several perspectives are explored as the specific topic of knowledge mobilization has received limited treatment in the literature. Related perspectives include the development of organ...
