OBJECTIVE To examine changes in mobility longitudinally following single-event multilevel surgery in ambulant children with cerebral palsy, focusing on those using assistive devices for functional mobility because they are most at risk of declining gross motor function. PARTICIPANTS A consecutive sample of 156 ambulant children with cerebral palsy (99 males), 96 without devices (Gross Motor F...

BACKGROUND Health risks associated with subclinical hypothyroidism in older adults are unclear. Our objective was to compare the functional mobility of people aged 70 to 79 years by thyroid function categorized by thyrotropin (TSH) level as euthyroid (>or=0.4 to <4.5 mIU/L), mild subclinical hypothyroid (>or=4.5 to <7.0 mIU/L), or moderate subclinical hypothyroid (>or=7.0 to <or=20.0 mIU/L with...

We have investigated the electronic structure and carrier mobility of armchair and zigzag single-walled MoS₂ nanotubes using density functional theory combined with Boltzmann transport method with relaxation time approximation. It is shown that armchair nanotubes are indirect bandgap semiconductors, while zigzag nanotubes are direct ones. The band gaps of single-walled MoS₂ nanotubes are along ...

In this paper I examine how the politics of mobility is an important factor when considering the contentious nature of urban growth debates. By a politics of mobility I mean the political struggle over what type of transportation mode—be it automobile, transit, or walking— is developed in a city, and how urban space is configured to make various modes functional. More importantly, the politics ...

Macroion mobility spectrometry was used to distinguish between a monoclonal antibody (clone M612165) that bound exclusively to monomeric prostate specific antigen and a different monoclonal antibody (clone M612166) that bound exclusively to a dimeric form of the antigen that only comprised 6.8% of the total protein. In the presence of excess antigen, the mobility spectrum of M612165 was replace...
