The study investigated, first, the benefits reported by first-time parents after attending a Families First mentalization-based group intervention and, second, looked for indicators of mentalizatio...

The problem of computing the moment generating function of the first passage time T to a > 0 or −b < 0 for a one-dimensional Wiener process {X(t), t ≥ 0} is generalized by assuming that the infinitesimal parameters of the process may depend on the sign of X(t). The probability that the process is absorbed at a is also computed explicitly, as is the expected value of T .

We use only the classic basic ballot result and simple combinatorial arguments to derive the distributions of the first passage time and the number of visits in the usual random walk model. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

background & aim : the causes of increased rate of cesarean section (c-section) are not completely known. the repeated c-sections are frequently reported in studies conducted in iran. this study aimed to determine the frequency of, and indications for the first time csection (fcs) in zanjan, iran in 2012-2013. methods & materials : a cross-sectional study was conducted and systematic random sam...
