The SLAC P2 Marx is under development as the linac klystron modulator for the ILC. This modulator builds upon the success of the P1 Marx, which is currently undergoing lifetime evaluation. While the SLAC P2 Marx’s (henceforth, “P2 Marx”) target application is the ILC, characteristics of the Marx topology make it equally well-suited for operation at different parameter ranges; for example, incre...

Abstract. A new Modular Marx Multilevel Converter, MC, is presented. The MC topology was developed based on the Marx Generator concept and can contribute to technological innovation for sustainability by enabling wind energy off-shore modular multilevel power switching converters with an arbitrary number of levels. This paper solves both the DC capacitor voltage balancing problem and modularity...

A compact repetitive Marx generator and a High Power Microwave (HPM) source based on a matched reflex triode has been developed and tested. The Marx generator rated at 1 kJ, 300 kV, 12 kA, 10 Hz, is suitable to drive the reflex triode directly. Bipolar charging of the Marx generator has been used to get lower system inductance and consequently faster output rise time with relatively low chargin...

Marx was drawn towards politics by Romantic literature and his earliest writings embody a conception of reality as subject to turbulent change and of human beings as realizing themselves in the struggle for freedom. His identification with these elements in HEGEL's thought (and his contempt for what he regarded as HEGEL's apologetic attitude towards the Prussian state) brought Marx to associate...

This paper proposes the use of a Modular Marx Multilevel Converter, as a solution for energy integration between an offshore Wind Farm and the power grid network. The Marx modular multilevel converter is based on the Marx generator, and solves two typical problems in this type of multilevel topologies: modularity and dc capacitor voltage balancing. This paper details the strategy for dc capacit...

Traditional Marx generators have been primarily reserved for energy storage and pulse-charging sources. However, recent work has demonstrated the Marx generator’s effectiveness in delivering ultra-short impulses at very intense power levels. This paper discusses two very compact Marx generators capable of delivering voltage pulses of several hundred kV, durations of several nano-seconds to 10’s...

In an article devoted to the Young Marx, I have already stressed the ambiguity of the idea of ‘inverting Hegel’. It seemed to me that strictly speaking this expression suited Feuerbach perfectly; the latter did, indeed, ‘turn speculative philosophy back on to its feet’, but the only result was to arrive with implacable logic at an idealist anthropology. But the expression cannot be applied to M...

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...
