Infants (n = 250) up to 12 weeks of age were randomized to intervention and control groups. Mothers in the intervention group were individually advised by the counsellors while mothe...

The magnitude of the global problem of diarrhoeal disease: a ten-year update.

In order to update global estimates of diarrhoeal morbidity and mortality in developing countries, we carried out a review of articles published from 1980 to the present and calculated median estimates for the incidence of diarrhoea and diarrhoeal mortality among under-5-year-olds. The incidence of diarrhoea obtained (2.6 episodes per child per year) was virtually the same as that estimated by ...

The Navigation Problem in the World-Wide-Web

Herein we build statistical foundations for tackling the navigation problem users encounter during web interaction, based on a formal model of the web in terms of a probabilistic automaton, which can also be viewed as a finite ergodic Markov chain. In our model of the web the probabilities attached to state transitions have two interpretations, namely, they can denote the proportion of times a ...
