ABSTRACT Background and Aims Tetanus, caused by Clostridium tetani, results in rigor spasms and remains as major cause of mortality in areas with poor vaccination and sanitation. Mortality has been cited to be 20%–55% in Ethiopia, possibly due to variation in healthcare, immunization, and intensive care access.

Decay rates for the damped wave equation on the torus [PDF]
We address the decay rates of the energy for the damped wave equation when the damping coefficient $b$ does not satisfy the Geometric Control Condition (GCC). First, we give a link with the controllability of the associated Schr\"odinger equation.
