patient management. A coma scale is a defined methodology by which neurological observations can be recorded in a standardised way by clinicians (Coyne‚ et al. 2010). Many different scales have been developed in an attempt to standardise the assessment of consciousness (Majerus‚ 2005). In this essay I will discuss three main coma scales and examine their strengths and weaknesses. I will also briefly discuss a number of revisions to these scales.

Magnitude is a measure of the amount of energy released during an earthquake. It may be expressed using several magnitude scales. One of these‚ Used in Southern California‚ is called the Richter scale. To calculate magnitude‚ the amplitude of waves on a seismogram is measured‚ correcting for the distance between the recording instrument and the earthquake epicentre. Since magnitude is representative of the earthquake itself‚ there is thus only one magnitude per quake. Taking the Lawton

Preface Education has always occupied a prominent position in the priorities of a society because of its key role in making its members moral‚ civilized‚ creative and productive beings. Decisions on the chosen inputs in the educational area‚ especially during college‚ have a multiplier-effect‚ and they tend to influence a person’s life to a large extent. One’s college education is generally assessed by the grades he gets‚ the courses he takes‚ the job he gets etc. In our report‚ we have

Pepinsky is a college professor who taught a class for second year criminal justice majors. He thought this class would be a great place to experiment with peacemaking and conflict resolution. He started this by throwing out the traditional grading scale and changing it to a pass or fail. Although he was laughed out of a university for this thought process‚ he found his footing with a different idea. When at a new school he started with a new system. Instead of the whole class being pass or fail

PART C - Analyze and Conclude 1. After you created a geologic time scale with key events in Earth’s History‚ compare the number of events in each era. Did more Earth-shaping events occur early in Earth’s history or later on? Explain why. Based on my geologic time scale‚ there are three events in Precambrian Time‚ two events in Paleozoic Era‚ four events in Mesozoic Era and one event in Cenozoic Era. These events mostly occurred later on in Earth’s history. Mesozoic Era has the most events which

An example of a Scale free network is a computer network‚ which has users and user stations and hubs to interact which each other to provide a complex network. This type network uses computer protocols as its Power law distribution. Therefore‚ Scales free networks all have set Rule or laws

Taken together‚ these time spans make up the geologic time scale. The Geologic Time Scale Structure of the Time Scale Eons represent the greatest expanses of time. Eons are divided into eras.

Measurement: Earthquakes are measured with the help of seismometers. The moment magnitude is the most common scale on which earthquakes larger than approximately 5 are reported for the entire globe. The more numerous earthquakes smaller than magnitude 5 reported by national seismological observatories are measured mostly on the local magnitude scale‚ also referred to as the Richter scale. Magnitude of concern: Magnitude of 3 or lower earthquakes are mostly almost imperceptible and magnitude

Making Research Decisions Rating Scales As a researcher‚ one must choose which rating scale is going to be the most effective method. Once choosing the scale‚ he/she then must decide the amount of choices the subject has. We are going to explore four different scales: 1. Yes/Depends/no‚ 2. Excellent/Good/Fair/Poor‚ 3. Excellent/Good/Average/Poor‚ and 4. Strongly Approve/Approve/Uncertain/Disapprove Strongly Disapprove. I believe that the yes –maybe-no scale is somewhat week unless used in
