DESIGNATION AND PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE SHORT FORM POSTPARTUM QUALITY OF LIFE QUESTIONNAIRE (SF-PQOL): AN APPLICATION OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL ITEM RESPONSE THEORY AND GENETIC ALGORITHM

Background: Utilizing multidimensional item response theory (MIRT) and genetic algorithm(GA) we aimed to design and test the psychometric properties of the short form Postpartum Quality of Life Questionnaire (PQOL).Methods: In this methodological study, 500 women aged 18 to 42 were enrolled through multistage random sampling scheme in Tabriz, Iran.

We study the quantumness of correlations for ensembles of bi- and multi-partite systems and relate it to the task of quantum data hiding.Quantumness is here intended in the sense of minimum average disturbance under local measurements.We consider a very general framework, but focus on local complete von Neumann measurements as the cause of the dist

Protein structure modeling by homology requires an accurate sequence alignment between the query protein and its structural template.However, sequence alignment methods based on dynamic programming (DP) are typically unable to generate accurate alignments for remote sequence homologs, thus limiting the applicability of modeling methods.A central pr

Ten diverse chrysanthemum varieties were evaluated for their suitability as cut flower, flower arrangement and pot plant.The maximum plant height at bud appearance (71.82 cm) and Vacuum Dusting Brush at anthesis (77.23 cm) was recorded in Snow Ball, while, it was recorded minimum at bud appearance (44.08 cm) and flower opening stage (48.10 cm) in P
