BACKGROUND AND METHODS: To guide achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, we used the Lives Saved Tool to provide a novel simulation of potential maternal, fetal, and newborn lives and costs saved by scaling up midwifery and obstetrics services, including family planning, in 58 low- and middle-income countries.Typical midwifery and obstetri
We derive a new method to estimate the age specific incidence of an infection with a differential mortality, using individual level infection status data from successive surveys.The method consists of a) an SI-type model to express the incidence rate in terms of the prevalence and its derivatives as well as the difference in mortality rate, and b)
As an important mode in airborne radar systems, Wide Area Surveillance Ground Moving TARGETS Target Indication (WAS-GMTI) mode has the ability of monitoring a large area in a short time, and then the detected moving targets can be located quickly.However, in real environment, many factors introduce considerable errors into the location of moving ta
