BACKGROUND There is no baseline activity scale yet validated in pediatric patients. The Marx and Tegner scales have been validated in adult patients only. The Tegner scale involves questions not pertinent to children, such as their work activity. The Marx scale is simple, and all its questions can be related to athletic activities. HYPOTHESIS The Marx scale is reliable for use in a pediatric ...

Assignment: Each of you should write a couple of pages, identifying important comparisons between the two theorists. The comparisons should concern important analytical themes or styles of theorizing--the kinds of issues discussed in the "handouts" meant to guide your group papers and those raised in class. You may focus on one comparison or identify several. For each, try to state the issue, i...

As the height of wind turbine increases, lightning strike accident has become a non-negligible issue. In this paper, attachment characteristic 2-MW generator (WTG) is investigated using model with reduced scale 100. The WTG equipped receptors on blades and rod nacelle, both serving as its external protection system (LPS). high-voltage electrode, which delivers impulse voltage from Marx generato...

Slide 1 Marx was very critical of Malthus. He said that an abstract law of population did not exist for men (Marx, 1974). All historical modes of production have their own special laws of population which are valid only within their limits. Marx discussed the law of population, applicable to capitalist mode of production in chapter XXV of Capital, entitled, “The General Law of Capitalist Accumu...

The fullest treatment is in the account of ‘estranged labour ’ [entfremdete Arbeit] in the Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts;1 but, even there, Marx ...

SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC) has initiated a program to design and build a Marx-topology modulator to produce a relatively compact, low-cost, high availability klystron modulator for the International Linear Collider (ILC). Building upon the success of the P1 Marx, the SLAC P2 Marx is a second-generation modulator whose design further emphasizes the qualities of modularity and hi...
