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 ...

This commentary considers the potential role of patient and public involvement in implementation. Developing an analytical thread from the resource-based view of the Firm, we argue that this involvement may create unique resources that have the capacity to enhance the impact of implementation activity for healthcare organisations.

The Spectral Excess Theorem provides a quasi-spectral characterization for a (regular) graph Γ with d+1 different eigenvalues to be distance-regular graph, in terms of the mean (d-1)-excess of its vertices. The original approach, due to Fiol and Garriga in 1997, was obtained in a wide context from a local point of view, so giving a characterization of the so-called pseudo-distanceregularity aro...

This paper examines the concept of role-based protection and, in particular, role organization. From basic role relationships, a model for role organization is developed. The role graph model, its operator semantics based on graph theory and algorithms for role administration are proposed. The role graph model, in our view, presents a very generalized form of role organization for access rights...

This report briefly describes the development and applications of net-sign graph theory. The current work enunciates the graph (molecule) signature of nonalternant non-benzenoid hydrocarbons with odd member of rings (non-bipartite molecular graphs) based on chemical signed graph theory. Experimental evidences and Hückel spectrum reveal that structure possessing nonbonding molecular orbital (NBM...

Let $G$ be a connected graph, and let $D[G]$ denote the double graph of $G$. In this paper, we first derive closed-form formulas for different distance based topological indices for $D[G]$ in terms of that of $G$. Finally, as illustration examples, for several special kind of graphs, such as, the complete graph, the path, the cycle, etc., the explicit formulas for some distance based topologica...

In order to explore complex structures and relationships hidden in data, plenty of graph-based dimensionality reduction methods have been widely investigated extended the multi-view learning field. For reduction, key point is extracting complementary compatible information analyze underlying structure samples, which still a challenging task. We propose novel algorithm that integrates for each v...

We introduce a new view-based object representation , called the saliency map graph (SMG), which captures the salient regions of an object view at multiple scales using a wavelet transform. This compact representation is highly invariant to translation, rotation, and scaling, and ooers the locality of representation required for occluded object recognition. We then introduce two graph similarit...
