The second-order partial differential wave Equation (Cauchy’s first equation of motion), derived from Newton’s force equilibrium, describes a standing field consisting two waves propagating in opposite directions, and is, therefore, “two-way equation”. Due to the second order differentials analytical solutions only exist few cases. “binomial factorization” linear two-way operator into first-ord...

The incidence of neonatal meningitis is difficult to accurately determine because of testing limitations. The incidence of bacterial meningitis is approximately 0.3 per 1000 live births in industrialized countries (Davies & Rudd, 1994). A recent study of neonatal infections in Asia (collecting data from China, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Kuwait, and Thailand), reported estimated incidence of neonat...
