To evaluates the effectiveness of schroth exercise with a brace to accelerate changes in cobb angle cases idiopathic scoliosis. This study is literature review narrative method. The research was conducted by tracing and analyzing articles relevant topics raised. data used this secondary data. Sources obtained form or journals topic using Pubmed, Proquest, Google Scholar databases keywords "idio...

The current paper examines the cross-efficiency concept in data envelopment analysis (DEA). While cross-efficiency has appeal as a peer evaluation approach, it is often the subject of criticism, due mainly to the use of DEA weights that are often non-unique. As a result, cross-efficiency scores are routinely viewed as arbitrary in that they depend on a particular set of optimal DEA weights gene...

BACKGROUND Chêneau-Brace treatment of a certain standard reduces the rate of surgery, prevents progression and in a certain patient population leads to marked improvement of Cobb angle and cosmetic appearance. During the last two years a patient refusing surgery with a double major curvature of initially 60 degrees showed a clear cosmetic improvement and a clear radiological progression at the ...

DOROTHY A. STANSFIELD, Thomas Beddoes MD, 1760-1808, Dordrecht, Reidel, 1984, 8vo, pp. xx, 306, Dfl.140.00/$54.00. Thomas Beddoes has been the subject of intermittent study, manifested through a succession of more or less specialized papers, mostly on his pneumatic studies. His political involvements have also been noticed, but usually in ways that do not reveal any substantial connexion betwee...

We show that the proportional response algorithm for computing an economic equilibrium in a Fisher market model can be interpreted as iteratively approximating the economy by one with Cobb-Douglas utilities, for which a closed-form equilibrium can be obtained. We also extend the method to allow elasticities of substitution at most one.

BACKGROUND Radiographic evaluation for patients with scoliosis using Cobb method is the current gold standard, but radiography has radiation hazards. Several groups have recently demonstrated the feasibility of using 3D ultrasound for the evaluation of scoliosis. Ultrasound imaging is radiation-free, comparatively more accessible, and inexpensive. However, a reliable and valid 3D ultrasound sys...

This paper constructs China’s capital stock, which is used in conjunction with a labor variable to estimate a Cobb-Douglas production function for the Chinese economy. Two panels of data are used – one for capital formation and one for sources of investment finance. Both national and provincial data are used for these two panels, thus giving a total of four capital-stock series. The Cobb-Dougla...
